special place

This site is set in sight of the stunning and sublime Blencathra. The whole area is lovely. The wardens are exceptionally helpful and keep everything in great shape. Wonderful walks start close by and there are pubs and shops not too far away when you need them. If you haven't yet experienced this site; I suggest you get in a car, hitch up the van, and go there now!

Great site. Great staff.

Not the best weather for caravanning, but even in strong winds and rain the site was lovely and welcoming, easy to maneuver round and no risk or getting bogged down in wet ground. It has a lovely long dog walk from the top end of the site and a small dog walk along the entrance driveway. Amenity blocks are lovely and clean and warm and it was handy that there was always one open when the other is being cleaned, there was always plenty of hot water for showers and even though the site was busy I never had to queue. And there are recycling facilities on site with is a bonus, not all sites provide this and I hate waste so end up taking it all home normally. The reception sells basics which is good as you always forget something. We are new to caravanning, and this was our first experience of a caravan club site but will not be our last. It is also within easy access of the rest of the lakes and we had a lovely run to Glenridding. Oh and not to forget the fish and chip van that visits twice a week, we took enough food for the weekend but could resist trying them. We didn't have the best start to our weekend due to an issue with the stabilizer on the caravan but the staff on the site went out of their way to help us and with the help of some tools and sheer determination managed to get us unhitched and onto the pitch. It saved our weekend and we will definitely be back.

Lovely site

Just returned after a five day stay. Immaculate site as ever. Fish and chip van a must on Fridays and Tuesday's. Sportsman Inn off the main road good for food. Keswick lovely as ever, derwentwater wonderful. So sad to see the devastation at Glenridding and pooley bridge after the flooding last year. It will take years to bring it back to how it was - having said that they are still open for business so please give them your support. Despite the lovely setting of this site I'm beginning to think that it is getting too costly - £29 per night is too expensive for the facilities offered, particularly as there is still no WIFI. It is not on that you buy caravan club wifi for the year and then cannot access it on some sites. Not good enough CC. In this day and age WIFI is a necessity not a luxury - sort it out!

Nice site but

The site is very well looked after. Pitches are a good size, well spaced out. The but is how do members say it's peacefull. The activity centre next door run quad bikes to the deviding fence. Theres also every off road buggy you can think of, plus a shooting range. Tranquility I don't think.

Dog friendly

Lovely site, nothing not to like. Loved being able to walk straight from site into forest with the dogs. Dog walk along drive adequate for early morning and last thing at night. Can recommend the Sportsman for a meal, with a lovely view thrown in! Just breath taking scenery in every direction.

Great location and site

Our first trip to Lake District, but certainly not our last.We spent 9 nights here. The site was ideally located for what we wanted to do. Beautiful surroundings, immaculate grounds, spotless facilities (loved the big shower cubicles). The wardens were very friendly and helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Lovely site, perfect location!

We stopped here for our second site of our 'tour of Britain'. It was perfect for the Lake District, great view of mountains, peaceful (grass cutting has to be done at some point!) and helpful staff. Great facilities and so clean (we are loving the apparent consistency of caravan club sites, having only just joined!). It was a perfect location for exploring the Lake District and climbing Helvellyn, with excellent outdoor shops in Keswick! We also stopped here on way back down from Scotland to South of England for one night, staying on the late night arrivals slot and this worked out perfectly - thank you for an excellent stay. We would/will come back! The advantages of belonging to the Caravan Club and booking ahead for the next park are great, either by phone, online yourself or by the staff from the site you are currently on - superb! Made touring so much easier.
