 Lovely clean and warm facilities with everything you could need.
Largest part of this site is for camping with only 30 pitches for caravans or motorhome's / campervans and half of these have the entrance road running through the centre of the pitches.
Although at £38 a night it is expensive that is for a fully serviced pitch including electric which is fair if your there in march or October.
The A66 is very close and noisy 24 hours a day but that's not such A problem in a caravan.
Will definitely use again if off season when camping section is closed otherwise facilities may be a little overrun.
Overall well run site.

This was an unexpected stop as the road to where we intended to stay was closed. I am delighted it was. This is a real gem of a site.
We got there at 6pm and thought it was all shut but you can book then and there on line very easily and immediately get a pitch. They are plenty large and have grass and a picnic table each.
My older daughter was in a 2 man tent so pitched it next to the van just to sleep in and we had a lovely evening. The pitch had ehu bit didn't need it.
The toilets are beyond belief ! we were cold when got there and the toilet shower room is huge warm open 24 hours and the most immaculately sparkly clean. Fabulous.
1 night low season was £24 which seems great. Some other sites want a minimum 2 night stay bit no problems with one here which is great for a midweek walk. Best thing was I now know I can just turn up and don't need to aim for exact time before reception closes.
Very close to main Penrith Keswick road so am already planning future trips. Waste emptying facilities also immaculate and easy.
Top place thanks

Very well kept campsite, views are fab great for walking,
Facilities are brand new exceptionally clean as is everything else,
Would of given 5 star but dropped to 4 star as the showers are push button only seem to last about 20 seconds, it’s annoying. maybe they can adjust timing
But everything else is perfect 👍

Fisherground Campsite - Eskdale
Nestling in the beautiful Eskdale Valley close to Scafell, England's highest mountain and Wastwater, this site is a children's paradise in the heart of the Lake District. The first thing that meets you on arrival is the pond, fed by a stream and usually full of children paddling and playing on tyre rafts. The playground has zip wires, climbing frames, tyre rope-swings and adventure courses.
Grass pitches (some with EHU) for tents, motorhomes, VW-sized campervans (no caravans). Refurbished toilets, showers and laundry. Peace is the watchword on the campsite - catering mainly for families and couples with silence after 10.30pm. Don't forget your marshmallows - campfires are allowed in selected areas. Nearby shop and pub. And there's an added extra: the site sits along the route of the Ravenglass and Eskdale Steam Railway line, with it's own station. Choo Choo! Find out more here

I had sleepless nights before our stay as the rules are excessively long and I was worried, as a family group of 9, that we wouldn't be allowed to socialise. In the end it was fine though.
The staff were kind and helpful in finding us adjacent pitches (something they wouldn't do over the phone).
The showers were hot and the toilets clean. Hopefully they can sort out the mould on the ceiling.
There's nowhere to play football/ cricket/ Frisbee etc so not great for those with kids.
It'd be nice if the two meadows could be offered as play fields when empty, rather than keeping them locked.
The rules on children and play are in the section entitled 'Bins etc' so perhaps that says it all! We found a nice walk to the local pub and it's an easy drive to the shops in Keswick.
The views from the site are absolutely beautiful but the road noise is constant, which spoilt the experience for us.

Beautiful site and facilities great.
We booked Blease as no dogs (love dogs but don’t have one) but dog owners from caravans walked their dogs through Blease? Unless it’s just you can’t camp there with your dog? Signs clearly said NO DOGS?
Loved the site though. Would give 10/10 if it actually was a no dog area

Great facilities and location. Will definitely go back.
Quite a long walk to the toilet block from our pitch, but the view made up for that.
Nice stroll into Keswick and from the site and very easy to find from A66.

Very clean and tidy campsite in beautiful location.
We enjoyed our night and would happily return again.
My only criticism would be the toilet block was quite a walk from our field, especially with toddlers.
Possibly adding a portaloo might help.

Our 4th visit here, but most definitely not our last visit.
Showers/toilets immaculate, shop not yet open, but there is now a lovely quiet dog walk which wasn’t available last September.
We have had great weather which is a lovely bonus.
We fully recommend this lovely little gem of a site & we will be booking again

Kestrel Lodge is a beautiful, peaceful, well kept and friendly site which we hope to visit again.
Our party had a reactive rescue dog and the site owners were very understanding towards her.
The facilities were kept clean and tidy. The little on site shed shop was very handy selling logs for the fit pits, marshmallows, bacon, eggs from their hens on site and other essentials when camping.
A freezer to use as we please for our ice packs. 3 mile walk to the nearest lake but was well worth it!
Absolutely stunning views at all angles from the site too. Honestly was a beautiful getaway for us on this Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend.
Thank you for having us.

A beautiful site, kept spotlessly clean.
I work at a stately home and the site loo and shower block was far superior.
Never saw anyone from the site but that did not stop us from having an amazing week, even with the weather being wet and cold.
Would definitely return again.

Wow, was completely overwhelmed with this site. Beautiful views of Skiddaw & Blencathra, though these would be marred later in the season when the trees are in leaf.
A tad more expensive, (£83 for 3 nights), than what we usually pay but you get what you pay for. On the weekend we were there we even had wall to wall sunshine.
The Booking system works well. The shop wasn't running yet.
Pitches are well spaced out with your own picnic table, drainage EHU and water connection.
Toilet block was immaculate with good showers & toilets.
Threlkeld is Just over a mile with Keswick about 3, but both have a large hill on the way back. The Keswick cycle path is about 1/2 a mile away and is gorgeous for cycling in to Keswick.
The Horse & Farrier is well worth a visit but you will need to book.
Will definitely be visiting again.
