 Just back from a very wet Bank Holiday at Lanefoor Farm. The campsite is a decent one, with some good views of the surrounding hills. The ground was saturated and there were a couple of cars sliding around in the top field where we camped.
Showers were hot and toilets clean although there was a bit of pressure on them around peak times. Owners were friendly but seemed quite reserved.
I really appreciated the space between pitches as it would have been easy to cram people in over the Bank Holiday.
Basic shop on site and a couple of places to eat and drink a 10 minute walk away in Braithwaite.
Overall impression was positive but still a work in progress.

Stayed here with my partner and two teenage girls over the easter break. Fantastic little site :-) When we arrived we were given a choice of where to pitch, we chose to pitch at the top of the second field, furthest from the facilities but beautiful views, it was worth the walk to and from the toilets/showers etc.
Having said that it isnt even really that far to walk! Facilities were fabulous, hot showers (3), really clean and much to the delight of the teenage girls a wash room with a plug for their hair straighteners!
Excellent pot wash area and clean toilets, the only comment I can make is that there is no hand dryer and there's no hand towels provided so its drip dry for the hands.
Great location for whinlatter forest and keswick. All in all a great site, helpful owners, allowed fires if you purchase the kit from them which is always a bonus but it is a bit on the pricey side £8. 50 per adult per night and £3. 50 for children.

What a great campsite. We stayed here for 3 nights over the Royal Wedding Bank Holiday. Whilst there are only 3 showers for the site, we never had to queue for very long and were well worth the wait. There are 2 push button (brand new) showers and an electric shower as well as a separate cubical with a mirror and handbasin.
We found the shop to be great especially for a BBQ pack which at £11.99 was quite good value for the content.
We will definitely be returning.

We booked for three nights here over the Easter holiday and found the whole process a pleasure - especially as I messed up the dates and had to change them! The site is a working farm, so there's the usual farm noises which we always find very relaxing - perhaps the cockerel who crowed at 3:15 in the morning hadn't adjusted his watch to British Summer time, but that was just part of the charm of this site.
We had loads of space on a flat and level pitch - the owners don't pack out the site like some and it made it great for just chilling out.
The facilities are very clean and contained in the main building less than a minutes walk from the pitch in our case (the hook up pitches are nearest) - the owners brought in additional facilities for the upcoming Easter weekend so they have clearly taken note of comments in other reviews about queues. We didn't have any queues or crowds during our stay at all.
We loved the campfires and had one every night - we took boots and rucksacks and in the end just had a very relaxing four days on and around the site, trips into Keswick and nearby Portinscale and eventually never got them out of the car.
The owners were very pleasant and always willing to stop for a chat. Our pitch was next to the friendly pony (Billy) and the free range chickens; it was flat and well sheltered with great views of Skiddaw. Those same chickens provide fantastic eggs which really make a good breakfast.
Braithwaite is a 15 minute stroll away down the very quiet road which leads from the site and there is a choice of two pubs. We found the Coledale Inn had the better beer garden of the two, though the food and drink is good in both - it's a matter of personal preference! Keswick is probably walkable or a 5 minute drive away.
We found the site offered reasonable value for money - perhaps a touch pricy (just under £60 for two adults with EHU for three nights), but the location and the relaxed nature of the site more than made up for it.
We're looking to return with the kids next time - they love farms and animals so will be in their element.

Fab little site - views to die for. We went as a group of families with young children and had a super time.
We had our own little end of a field close to the toilets and the free range chickens (which were very friendly and inquisitive).
Shop excellent (fresh eggs and they can organise bbq packs if necessary), owners very friendly and helpful.
Facilities good, toilets - perfectly fine and showers - nice and clean with plenty of hot water. Good washing up area too.
Lovely site and we would definitely return.

We visited this site for the second time and stayed for 4 nights. This is an excellent site, not only because our kids love it here but because we (the wife and I) love it here for many reasons.The location of the site is excellent for walks (Coledale Round, Whinlatter Forest etc.), your 5 mins away in the car to busy Keswick or about 2 and a half miles away on foot.
The campsite itself is very child friendly, has good clean facilities - showers are hot though sometimes a queue can develop if the site is busy, there are 3 sinks for washing up, again always hot water available and there is a fairly well stocked shop on site for those forgotten essentials. The owners are very friendly and always happy to help.
Would definitely recommend any family staying here for at least a couple of nights. The fire pits provided (with the purchase of firewood at £6 per sack) is a blessing on the colder nights as well as keeping the family around the fire toasting marshmallows etc.).
There are a few pubs in Braithwaite just a 10min walk away. We visited The Royal Oak and had a fantastic roast beef sunday lunch on Easter Sunday.Would highly recommend for this and the ale, however didn't eat here at any other time so cannot comment on the rest of the menu but staff were very friendly.
We will be back!

Stayed here for 4 nights at the beginning of September. The site is in a lovely setting with great views of Skiddaw and easy access to the Northern Lakes. The showers are hot and the loos were always clean even on a busy Saturday. Lots of hot water for pot washing and a shop stocking the basics. Staff are friendly and chatty and the camp fires make for a nice atmosphere after dark. Good to have hens, ducks and geese wandering about on the site too.
I can also recommend the Coledale Inn at Braithwaite - great food, a good pint and very dog friendly.
Will definitely camp here again.

We stayed here on the August Bank Holiday weekend for 3 nights with 3 other Families. We were placed in what I suspected was a bit of an overflow field as this was the only way the owners could accommodate our request to be placed together. It did look like the field would be quite damp if it rained and this proved to be the case. Getting out of the field was quite tricky with all the mud.
We were given one trailing lead and a 3 way splitter for our electric hook up. The problem with this was we were unable to run 3 heaters at once. Now all three tents had children in them and the Saturday and Sunday night were unseasonably cold and to my mind it was not acceptable to pay for a serviced pitch but not have the full use of electric.
The site is in a lovely situation with stunning views. The Bins needed emptying before the start of the weekend as by Sunday they were overflowing. The Elsan disposal point is just a big above ground tank which you have to open up and pour in and did not have wash out facilities.
Showers were excellent, clean, plenty of hot water and underfloor heating, the washing up facilities, although there were only 3 bowls were never really busy. The WC's were frankly atrocious, no hot water to wash your hands with and nothing to dry your hands either. Not acceptable on a site that gets quite busy.
Owners are nice people who are keen to help. The campfires were great.

Second visit to this site. The showers are now great, loads of hot water, but there could be a couple more sinks for just a wash/tooth brushing. Having said that I only queued once for about 5 mins.
The owner is helpful and a really nice guy. The site is well place just outside of Keswick and within 10 minutes drive of Whinlatter Forest. The shop is stocked with basics and the bacon is excellent.
Very good site for children of all ages, they can play in the stream and loved toasting marshmallows over the camp fire. The pub in Braithwaite does a nice line in steak and chips.

I moved across from Northumberland to this site to stay for 5 nights
Again this site is is in a stunning location with Skiddaw as a front view and Lord's Seat as a backdrop I even saw 2 Osprey flying over the site
As to the site itself the showers were all new this season apparently although I think the toilets were a work in progress The little shop sells all your basic needs and more the owners couldn't have been more pleasant even with their own children and a farm to look after nothing was too difficult As this is a working farm there are chickens and sheep wandering about the site
We were 'invaded' by a large group of campers who set up in a little area just behind the farm which meant everybody in the upper tier had to cut across their pitches to get to the facilities I know some people don't like this and with a little more planning could have been avoided
What can one say about a camp-site situated in the Lake District stunning vistas every where you looked
There is a pub within walking distance in the village of Braithwaite they do meals although I didn't try them The meals looked well presented and looked good value for money
Keswick is a bit too touristy for my tastes but I did enjoy eating out there
Walking Cycling Driving around this area you can't fail to find something to do and if you are walking don't forget to keep turning around as you can sometimes miss some of those stunning views
Will I be returning to this site.Hopefully next year

My boyfriend (21) and I (22) visited this site for 2nights (wed 11th - Thurs 12th August). We called the site before leaving and were told there was plenty of room for us, when we got there, true to their word, there were plenty of pitches for us to choose from.
We booked in at the site office/shop and paid our money up front (£8.50 per adult per night - we thought this was slightly expensive, but as you cant get a hotel this cheap we weren't too fussed!) we were then given advice on where the showers / toilets / water etc were and advised to find ourselves a pitch, leaving room for other tents and cars to pass up.
We pulled up on the main site and (stupidly) re-used a pitch as it was flat and there was no ash from previous fires etc. (advice - don't re-use a pitch, it seemed to get muddier than others as it hadnt dried out from the previous user!)
Our stay there was fab, we were a bit put off by the 'quiet by 10pm' sign, but this wasn't too bad as long as we kept it down!
We got ourselves a wheel inner on our 2nd night and bought the logs £5.50 per bag and some marshmallow and skewers (£1.20) and had a fab time sitting around the fire
The showers were always hot and we never had to wait for 1, nor did we ever have to wait for a toilet, although I can imagine this being a problem if it was busier. (1 mens toilet, 2 ladies, 3 showers, 1 sink for getting washed and 3 washing up sinks).
The only time the site owner couldn't help us was when we needed some more butane gas for our stove and there shop didn't sell this (although he did give us directions to the next campsite dwn the road which did sell this )
All in all our stay was lovely and relaxing. Would definitely recommend, but if you want more of a 'party' atmosphere I wouldn't advise staying here as it is a family/walking orientated site.

We absolutely loved the site. We arrived just before the bank holiday weekend. There was plenty of room. Found Gareth and Helen very helpful and friendly.
The site is a working farm so there were chickens running around. There was always hot water for washing up and showers, we never had to queue up for the toilets or showers. The first couple of days we had rain but after brilliant sunshine.
Keswick isn't far away in a car and have loads of shops, supermarket etc. Whinlatter isn't far away in a car and is ok if you want walks or bike rides.
The view from the site are to die for and we can't wait to go back.

Wonderful location, really friendly owners. Free hot showers and washing up facilities. Toilet blocks are basic but well maintained. Camp shop is great for general provisions open till 9pm.
Village of Braithwaite is only 10 mins walk away, with 2 nice pubs and a hotel. Local village shop is excellent! Selling freshly baked bread, pizza's, locally sourced meat, and also does hot roast chicken and roast spuds to order! Campfire really made the holiday.
Derwent water is an hour away on foot, where you can pick up a ferry to Keswick.

This site is great, lovely friendly helpful owners. Great location with lovely walks into Keswick and surrounding areas. Close to mountain biking forest altho drive there as me and hubby went by bike and it is all up hill 2/3 miles however if you are healthier than I do it as is a lot of fun coming downhill on way back!
Great facilities all central and clean and a lovely little shop selling most stuff you need as well as bbq packs of local meat! We had electric hook up in the main field, the meadow field is also lovely and homed some vw campers when we were there.
Lovely site definitely give it a try you wont regret it.

We are 4 adults with 2 dogs. We have just returned from Lanefoot and had a really great weekend. Lanefoot has fantastic views. There are lovely walks just off site. Billy the horse and the chickens were great. The kids on the park seemed to be having a good time with the animals and plenty of room to run around.
We hired a wheel and a sack of logs with kindling for £5.50, which gave us two cosy nights by an open fire - the icing on the cake for us. The owners are friendly, helpful and easy to locate. The on site shop is handy for all your basics and is open until 9pm.
Nice clean, hot showers. Good facilities for washing up.The site is about 5 mins drive from Keswick. There is a nice friendly pub/hotel 10 mins walk away.
We had a problem with a noisy group on our first night. The owner was quick to resolve this when we informed him. We will definitely go back.
