A favourite site

We have visited this site many times and it never fails to please. The site is beautifully kept and the scenery is magnificent. The peace and tranquillity is blissful! The facilities are what all CAMC sites should aspire to-the shower cubicles are spacious, (great for those more generously proportioned among us!), and the shower head is at a 90 degree angle to the shower curtain. This means no wet curtain sticking to one's nether regions and also ensures that the rest of the cubicle doesn't get flooded. Why aren't all shower cubicles fitted out like this? The site is handy for Keswick, a lovely town with loads of dog friendly pubs, and Penrith, an old fashioned town with some lovely independent shops. There is so much stunning scenery in this area that is easy to reach, and the Lakes are beautiful too. It also has one of our favourite pubs, The Brackenrigg, overlooking Ullswater, a lovely spot to while an hour or two away. We will return.

Perfect site

Have stayed here many times and have never failed to enjoy our stay. Such friendly wardens make it extra special and the facilities are always clean and adequate. Site ideally positioned for northern lakes and also for a short stop enroute further north. Pitches are generous throughout. Would have to agree with a few of the other reviews that the site could soon benefit from an upgrade as the facilities are beginning to look a little tired.

In need of an upgrade

Just returned from a weeks stay here, yes a very friendly welcome from everyone. Just after we put up our awning there was the biggest thunder storm we have every seen in this country, during which there was about 2 inches of water all over our pitch, because of all the water we moved our small tent onto the grass out of the water, the water drained quickly but when the wardens saw our tent was on the grass they asked us to move back onto the pitch, as they are so concerned about their grass they should sort out their drainage to avoid any flooding in the first place. I hope the club plan to update the toilet blocks eventhough they were kept as clean as they could be there are signs of them being patched up and not very well done, also every evening when I went for a shower there was a strong smell of stale urine. All this was a shame as the location and views are excellent.

Improved site

Had two stops here en route for Scotland as always excellent wardens friendly and helpful .A great job has been done on the service pitches the only reason I didn't give 5 star's was the continued lack of WiFi but the phone signal is better than before

JUST BRILLIANT!

A warm reception and a welcoming smile. What a difference this makes. Thank you guys, we really appreciate all you do for us. The site was immaculate. A lovely, well cared for site in a truly delightful location. The northern Lakes area is so much quieter than the south and the scenery is just as dramatic. Just go there!

Brilliant site for dogs

Superb site, clean , well layer out. Great location for walking from and brilliant if you have a dog or dogs. Staff were super friendly and efficient, had a wonderful stay, it makes a great base for touring the Lake District. Only comment would be :don't believe them when site full sign is displayed as we almost drove on but when we asked we got a super pitch. We would definately stay again and highly recommend.

Weekend break

A recent return to troutbeck with lovely views and lovely and quiet. The only couple of niggles is the yellow posts located throughout the site, the wardens are a bit anal about the grass which they claim is wet when some of it is scorched due to the recent dry weather, whatever you do don't touch it or you're in for a smack bot! Needless to say I will return.

Would hard to better this site

Just got back from a fantastic holiday at trout beck wardens simply the best always had time for you. The view of Blencathra absolutely stunning, we were very lucky last week the weather was glorious for six days not a cloud in the sky apart from Sunday this week when we were returning home. its about 15 minutes to Keswick to the shore side of Derwent water, about the same time to Ullswater both with fantastic views of the mountains. We loved this site so much we have cancelled our next site visit and booked here instead. The toilet blocks were kept spotless but do need updating, while we were their the CCMC engineers were their with the site wardens having a meeting about this coming winter upgrade for the toilet blocks, once this has been done this will be another jewel in the crown for the ccmc. We had a service pitch but next time we are having a standard pitch with awning get far better views of Blencathra. One thing. l wish they would get the hardstanding right to much chatter on them, half has much again would be plenty and its not cheap, only criticism l had, not just on this site but on others too. Once again thanks to the wardens for making this a great May break CCMC should be proud of this site. Oh forgot great farm shop just up the road a must to visit

Beautiful site

Spent 11 days at this beautiful site, around May Day. We were lucky enough to get a pitch exactly where we like to be on site. The view of Blencathra is stunning, especially in the sunshine and sunset. The toilet blocks are very clean and we love the underfloor heating - perfect for a cool morning. The whole site looked immaculate, only thing that spoils it are the yellow posts everywhere, to keep you off the grass. The wardens were all customer friendly and pleasant. Didn't see many families, but it could be due to the lack of WiFi. Only gave 4 stars for Families, because there isn't much space for children to play. However that wouldn't have bothered our children when they were young as we spent all of our time off site walking. Can't wait to return!
