Stunning location

Currently here only for one night as doing a two week tour of Scotland so here just to break the journey, However, will definitely be back for longer it is such a gorgeous site in a beautiful location. Facilities are exceptionally clean. Lovely helpful wardens. It is a really lovely site would absolutely recommend.

Lovely Site

Stayed for 3 nights and really enjoyed our stay. The wardens were great. A special thanks to Stuart and Rebecca for providing us with some detailed knowledge of the area. It’s really is a great site to get out and explore.

2 night stay

Such a shame that members do not follow the club rules putting us off staying again. Also if you need the dedicated disabled facility remember that it is a long way from the fully serviced pitches

Outta lockdown and back on the fells

We've stayed a few times here, great site and location for walking ( a short drive to Dockray to walk The Dodds) Covid secure for reception check in, track & trace forms etc, all the usual stuff you have come to expect due to the Pandemic and the good standards also expected from the Caravan club. Good sized fully serviced pitch, clean service areas and friendly staff, will certainly visit again, but possible after all the restrictions are lifted as the rubber band process to use the toilets and showers is a pain (although better than other sites) You queue but there is no one in as they haven't taken their band off the peg or you go in and its full. Roll on all facilities being back to normal :)

Glad to be back.

We have stayed here many times and always enjoyed the area. We have always been lucky enough to use a serviced pitch and, due to the chilly and unsettled week we had, it was great! Didn’t use the facilities block so can’t comment on the quality or Covid-secureness.

First time at Troutbeck

Easy site to access, lovely welcome by wardens. Despite weather we have had 10 nights of great relaxation. The site is kept in first class order and you are spoilt for choice when selecting a suitable pitch. Most are large and well maintained and we have even seen the wardens weeding the chippings which is something we have never seen before. Site is peaceful and close to Keswick and Penrith. Views lovely from site where we have seen the fells bathed in sunshine, covered in snow or disappeared in cloud or mist. Such a change after 14 months of isolation at home. Already booked for 2022.

Lovely spring break

We were welcomed on arrival by a warden who immediately assisted us and put our fears at rest. All the wardens and there were quite a few, were friendly and helpful and kept the site immaculately clean and tidy. We had booked a serviced pitch and as such we were self sufficient, so we did not use or visit the toilet blocks. However, I have no doubt they would have been as clean as the rest of the site. There are quite a few local pubs, all a short drive away, which due to the current situation were only serving outside but obviously this will change in time. The Lake District, in all its splendour, is on the sites doorstep and ready for your exploration and enjoyment, although, a car is probably essential to do this. A great site and I'm sure we will be back.

Nice but a little too out of the way

We recently stayed here for 3 nights. The site is very quiet and clean. The staff are very helpful and friendly, when we checked in we were told that the wardens had only just taken over the site. Due to Covid there were only 2 toilet cubicles available to use in each block which was fine but very annoying when people either forgot to put their band back on the hook when coming out or didn't even bother using the band system at all. The pitches were of a good size and lovely views, we managed to get one alongside the 'babbling' brook which was lovely. There is a dog walking area that is reached via quite a steep hill. We didn't have our dog with us this time so decided to take a walk in the forest. We were told it was signed when we got off site but there were no visible signs to tell you which way to go so we turned right, we ended up walking for about 45 minutes firstly on fields and the on a gravel roadway and came to a dead end with no way out but to turn back which was fine but would have preferred a 'proper' sign posted walk. There were serviced pitches on site which we would normally use but glad we didn't on this trip as there was a frost one morning and the pipes all froze up! Although this was a nice clean friendly site we were stuck without a mode of transport (other than the motorhome which had an awning attached so unable to move easily). The nearest pub was a mile away but closed and the fish n chip van that usually visits had gone out of business during Covid so if we fancied a change from cooking there wasn't one. We did try to get a taxi to take us into Penrith to find a pub or somewhere to eat but were told that there weren't many taxis operating after 6pm as there was nowhere to go. All in all, a lovely clean & friendly site but a little too 'out of the way' for us as we like to be able to walk to a pub/cafe/shops and for this reason I don't think we will be visiting again unless we have a tow car.

Beautiful Site and the Warmest of Welcomes

We have all stayed on sites where the Camp Commandant is fresh out of traffic warden and/or running a salt mine training camp but that’s definitely not the case here! We arrived late after overrunning the time allocated for the handover of our new Motorhome. En route we had received a polite phone call enquiring of our whereabouts but they decided to keep the reception open an extra half hour for us although we wouldn’t have been offended if they had given us a pitch number and left us to it. At reception the welcome was warm and friendly and we afforded ourselves the opportunity to purchase lovely homemade scones and some fresh eggs. The site itself is beautifully kept, is well laid out and has a fab dog walk attached. The toilets are immaculate although the showers were unavailable to us due to Covid restrictions which wasn’t a problem to us. Overall we loved it and will definitely return.

return to old favourite

My previous stay at TH was in Sept 2017 and was the last time away in the caravan with a close family member and dog. Both sadly passed away and so I was apprehensive about coming back caravanning solo. I was greeted by pleasant and friendly wardens who despite being busy, had the time and consideration throughout my eight night stay just before October half term, to make me feel comfortable and safe on site. I have visited TH many times and the setting is brilliant for walking. Helvellyn, Blencathra are all easy to reach with Penrith/Keswick close to hand. Covid security measures were not over the top and people abided by them. Thank you to the wardens for working so hard to keep us all safe and able to enjoy our holidays.
