Our second home

This site has to be the best in Britain. Been to this site about eight times and looking forward to the next eight. No toilet block (great) - a lot more sites should be basic. Why do you need a toilet block with modern vans? Excellent lake walks from site, plus bus outside site to quite a few places. Don't let some reviews about the small roads put you off, they are not that bad.

First timers

This was the first time we have used this site ( wish we had found it sooner ) a little awkward to get to but once on site the peace and quiet was fantastic, the walks offsite were great with access to the lake the wardens were down to earth and lovely people to talk to. Will definitely be visiting this site again. Wishing Thanks to the club and wardens for a fantastic break.

Great place for walking/biking direct from the site. Easy walk to good dining and to landing for launch to Keswick. Nearby Grange has two excellent cafes. Staff very friendly. Will return.

maya our dog loves along with owners

Your staff at this site over the years that we have been coming here have always be very friendly ,helpful and can share a good laugh IT Would be fantastic to have a small shower block ,but then it would be so popular one may never get a site . The one and only problem is the pine needles ,they get every where.

Hidden gem!

Tucked away at the bottom of derwent water, it nestles amongst the trees and backs onto the duck board walk across to the lodore hotel. Great spot, easy access for dog walks and to the lake and the launch. Little bus into Keswick eases the return journey after a day's walking/shopping! Great for dogs, unspoilt lakes with easy access to walks n the fells. Grange is small but lovely for a potter. Loved it! Wardens v helpful too.

Lovely

My wife and I had a twelve day stay on the lakeside pitch close to the lake. We were blessed with good weather and the scenery and walks were superb. The staff were very helpful and friendly. There is so much to do to suit all ages. Recommend the local saugages with a glass of wine on the waters edge. Locals were very warm and informative and we made some new friends. What more could you want. Geoff and Fran.

Fabulous place.

Came here as a base for starting the Coast to Coast walk. Beautiful location right next to Derwent Water. Wonderful place, secluded and peaceful but handy for Keswick. Very friendly and helpful staff. Check directions to site before you go, the sat nav route is no good for caravans.

A beautiful spot

We have just returned from six nights at this site. It's location is amazing. Very close to the shores of Derwent Water and with lovely walks directly from the site. The site itself is clean and well maintained and the wardens are really pleasant and helpful. There are no on site facilities (other than the office and small shop) or wifi, which wasn't a problem at all for us - in fact something of a bonus, but some may find that difficult. We had a pitch which let plenty of sun in, but there are one or two which seemed quite dark at certain times of the day, as the trees are fairly close set, so I would think picking your spot carefully is quite important. As has already been said the road down from Keswick is not brilliant, and getting through Grange can be something of a feat on busy bank holiday periods. However, we have a fairly big outfit, (Unicorn Valencia, towed by a Nissan D22 pickup) and we managed without hitting anyone, anything or each other, so it is manageable with care. The gate into the site is rather narrow and on quite a tight turn. It could really do with widening as it would improve access no end and there is room to do this. We had a magical six days here, a lovely pitch, lovely neighbours, friendly wardens, stunning scenery and great weather to boot. We could quite easily not have turned the engine on the truck for the whole week (provisions willing) as there is so much to do. We hired a rowing boat one afternoon, walked up to Keswick another day, walked over to Mary Mount for lunch and dinner and just idled away in the sun. A lovely holiday, we didn't want to leave and will certainly be back. Oh a tip for avoiding traffic when you leave. We left just before 8am and hardly met another vehicle until Keswick. Much less stressful than our journey in!

Excellent weekend

Just back from a lovely relaxing long weekend. No facilities but managed fine. We were on pitch 41 which was close to water and waste and near to the back gate . Yes the drive in from Grange could be a bit tight but we managed no problems. The walk out of the back gate was a lovely stroll 20 min across fields and bridges to the Lodore and Mary Mount Hotels,both serving real ales and food. We walked into Keswick from the site and it was all by the lake side. Can't wait for our next trip to the lakes and will use this site. Can recommend the Dog and Gun and Bank Tavern in Keswick for their Goulash and Lamb shoulder respectively and quality ales
