Absolutely fantastic

Thank you to the wardens who clearly work tirelessly to keep this site in immaculate condition. We have just returned after a 6 night stay and will be returning as soon as we can. Everything about this site is perfect. We have two big dogs and its great for them. Ullswater is delightful and we can not wait to return. The toilet block was immaculate and our pitch up at the serviced end was perfect. Keswick is beautiful and very dog friendly. Thank you again.

We will be back!

We had a wonderful five days at Troutbeck Head last week. We booked at the last minute when a previous booking fell through. We were a little concerned about access as roads in the Lake District can be a little hair-raising for caravan towing, but we needn’t have worried. The access road is narrow but very quiet and we had no problems at all. We had a good choice of pitches, and chose one in the middle of the site. We wished we had explored the whole site before choosing, actually, because the pitches further away from reception have stunning views, but that was our fault. We were perfectly happy with the pitch we chose as it was level, convenient and had a decent view. Toilets and showers are immaculate, warm and plenty of hot water. The site is in a good location for visiting Keswick and Ullswater. Superb walks in the area and we also used the steamers around the lake. Loads of nice cafes and food shops around the area. On Friday the fish and chip van came, which was a bit of a treat, although more expensive than I expected. The dog walk on the site is the best we have seen; it’s a proper walk with views, rather than just a field! Best club site we’ve visited and we look forward to returning!

A very pleasant and peaceful stay

The facilities, mainly the toilet block were maintain to a very good standard. It was nice to relax and take some nice walks. The wardens also are very pleasant and helpful, to the point my Arial extension lead failed, and they kindly let me borrow one for the duration of my stay. The owls hooting on a night gave you a reminder of why we look to stay at sites with forests surrounding them and walks to enjoy

Less fun than the first time.

We had reserved a luxury place. The field seemed calm. We had just settled in when a camper pulled up next to us. We only heard barking. No less than 5 dogs showed up. I really think the CC should set a limit. We didn't want to be next to this, especially because the boss didn't correct the dogs. The warden had no intention of doing anything about it. According to them, there is no policy regarding the number of dogs. We just had to see if we could find another pitch. My husband has leukemia and is 72 years old. I am 67 years old. We had to pack everything up and move. The place I had chosen suddenly turned out to be forgiven. No, we haven't had much help. The wifi sucks. You also have to be lucky with TV reception. During our stay there was a fatal accident on the A66. Dangerous road to cross, especially with a caravan. This is the disadvantage of the high season: the campsite was completely full. Kids in the washrooms and made a mess. Yelling and screaming. Fortunately, the mother intervened and they later came to apologize.

A lovely site.

1. Beautiful location with fantastic views. 2. Staff were very polite and helpful. 3. Pitches were pretty level. 4. Shower block and facilities were spotless. 5. Would we go back? Without a doubt. We've been to many sites around the UK and this is one of the best. Hope this review has helped.

A lovely site that we will return to many times

This is my second visit in about a month. The current wardens are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We have been lucky enough to have had remarkably good weather and have taken advantage of this by doing some cycling, kayaking and walking. We love this site as its easy for us to access and is well located for the northern lakes. The site itself is being kept in pristine condition and is a good example of how good sites can be.

Favourite Site in the North of England

We come to Troutbeck as often as we can and over the last 20 years have visited on countless occasions. We love the location. The view of Blencathra is just amazing. It's an ever changing picture and if you have any physical limitations, you don't need to go anywhere to see the North Lakes landscape in all its glory. For the physically able, the local walks and cycling are fabulous and there are plenty of local eateries and with both Penrith and Keswick under 10 miles away in either direction, there's no shortage of places to go. Hadrian's Wall is only an hour away, Brougham Castle is worth a visit too. St Bees, Emmerdale, and so many other lovely places are easy to drive to. The site itself is always kept tidy and the facilities spotless. The wardens we've met over the years have always been welcoming and friendly. On our last visit, our friends found themselves somewhat stranded as the husband (who else?) broke his wrist. There was no issue for them to extend their stay whilst a tow home was organised, in fact nothing was too much trouble and they were able to enjoy holiday as best they could I tell everyone how fantastic this site is and would recommend you to try it at least once to see whether you like it as much as we do. Can't wait to return!

Great site.

Great site, very clean, well maintained, staff very pleasant. Iv been here a few times now and on this occasion the peace and quiet was spoilt by a family with three dogs which one of them barked all day and through the night.

Couldn’t ask for a better site

We have stayed at this site several times and will keep going back. The location is perfect for all aspects of activities in the lakes as well as being east to access from the motorway. The facilities, pitches and layout are all outstanding. The staff are extremely helpful. Can’t say enough good things about this. We would highly recommend.

Not a relaxing site

This site is in a great location for holidaying around the lakes. The staff were friendly and We saw that that they were very helpful. Unfortunately we like a quiet and relaxing site and this site not only has an activity place next door but it’s also a farm and we happened to be there on the morning they decided to shear the sheep starting at 6.30 am. The pen was literally up against the fence to the site and we were on the other side. Also the dog walk seemed to be around the pitches including our own which we thought was not the correct etiquette The campsite didn’t appear to be overly busy but the shower block was not as clean as we had expected from CMC site
