Great location

We've just returned from 2 weeks on this site, and had a fantastic stay. It's very easy to access, very peaceful and quiet and the wardens were welcoming and friendly. We chose to stay on a serviced pitch, but when we visit here again will opt for a standard one - the service pitches are very hard underneath and difficult to get awning pegs into (I understand it's because they used to have static caravans on them!) and the views from these pitches are less impressive. Very good site for those of us with dogs as there is plenty of space for walking them. We went to the area primarily for walking, and found plenty of good challenging walks nearby, but all required you to drive and park. Commenting on other reviews we'd read before going, we'd agree that the toilet blocks are a little dated but were always clean, and we didn't find the nearby activity centre at all noisy! Overall, a very good site and we'll definitely return.

Recent Stay

We stayed for the first time last weekend, great site, nice and quiet, though the toilet blocks do need updating, no Wi-Fi which in todays world is a must. Dog walking was nice and easy, straight out into a forest road. The garden areas were well kept and looked very good. I think we will be staying again.

Great Site

Brilliant location not far off of the A66, the wardens were friendly and welcoming, the views are amazing my only complaint is that the toilet/shower facilities are a bit dated and in urgent need of an update, they are very clean but the toilets do not flush very well

Back Again

Have just spent 3 days here with good weather (just a little rain)!  It's been many years since we were last here but this time we could see the hills.  We found the layout of the site unhelpful with dead ends, rather a lot of purple pegs that are not marked on the site plan, so had to go in and out of the site a number of times due to the one-way system.  The roads are very narrow so manoeuvring round the site requires a great deal of care.  The loo blocks are clean but very old and need updating to Caravan Club Standard.

Very good location

First visit to this site but won't be our last. Stayed on the serviced pitch right at the top of the site and although they don't have the best views it was lovely and peaceful. Booked to stay again in June and we are going to try the standard pitch to get the better views. Wonderful dog walks out the back of the site on the forestry roads. Only a short drive to Penrith or Keswick.  You will need strong ROCK pegs if you are putting up an awning! Overall a great site.

Great time

First visit and looking forward to going back. Wardens really helpful and the facilities are spotless. Very well placed between Keswick and Penrith and no narrow roads. The views from the site are beautiful and it is very peaceful. Would definately recommend this site. The pitches are large and well managed. Shop on site sells great eggs. Tried the Kirkstone Pass, good pub near the top for a much needed shandy. Thanks to the staff they make you feel welcome, had a fabulous week.

Fantastic weekend

We had a fantastic long weekend here 6th - 11th May. The weather was unbelievable, so warm on the Monday we thought it was too hot to walk. The welcome to site was very warm, we found the wardens very friendly, nothing was a bother. The whole site was beautifully kept, clean and tidy, all the lawns were neat. Loo blocks were immaculate - I know some complain about them being in need of refurbishment, but I couldn't see any problems. The showers are big compartments and the wash basin closets even have their own hairdryers. It was very peaceful while we were on site and we didn't hear anything from the Activity Centre adjoining the site. The views from the ordinary pitches are superb. What more could you want?

Stunning North Lakes View

For Nature lovers ,walkers and climbers alike this Caravan Club Site has one of the most stunning views of Blencathra (Saddle Back) With gr8 sunsets over the mountain. Turn right out of the site and you are quickly along side Ullswater and its steamers. Grisedale and countryside , the home of John Peel, is across the valley and there are lots of beautiful Cumbrian Villages.

Peaceful at Troutbeck Head

A large well kept site with friendly staff and excellent facilities. Peace and quiet was the order of the day and the site didn't disappoint. Good super pitches at a little extra cost, although no WIFI was a miss (understand it's on the way). Fish & chip van on Tuesdays and Fridays makes a nice change from eating out or cooking. Anyone with dogs will like the woodland walk at the top of the site. All in all a nice stay.
