Our first time to this site. No toilet block but hey why do manufacturers fit them in vans if not for such occasions. Best wardens we've ever come across running a very well stocked little shop too. Bus stop just outside the main gate but limited frequency, however, it's all about walking. Great walk around the lake into Keswick and equally nice the opposite direction towards Rothswaite. Most hotels in the area accept dogs in the common areas, the closest being the Lodore accessible via the site's rear pedestrian gate and over the lake bridge, probably about half a mile.
Peaceful site in the shadow of Cat Bells, plenty of opportunities to walk from the site deep into the Lakeland countryside.
Access road is tight with parking along the road through the village despite yellow lines.
Reduced facilities could be an issue for families but with most vans coming with good loos and showers this shouldn't put anyone off, there is just so much to do.
Friendly and helpful wardens to greet travellers is a bonus
A very friendly site in a lovely quiet location a mile beyond GRange in Borrowdale. Convenient to the boardwalk across to Lodore and with bus services across the valley and even to the door it makes a delightful centre for exploring the quieter side of Derwentwater. We shall return...
Just had two nights at Borrowdale, nestled in the woods below the peak of "Cats Bells", this is a great site for walkers. No facilities, but that probably adds to the peace, as most people tend to stay around their pitches. No Wifi, but those on the 3 Network will get a booming signal on their Mifi or phone.
Steve and Dee the new wardens are welcoming and very hard-working. The standard of the site is testament to that.
Highly Recommended folks.
