We have visited this site several times and it's one of our firm favorites.  Access to it from the A66 is really good and being situated between Penrith and Keswick it gives great access to Ullswsater and the Northern Lakes.  There is a small amount of forestry walking from the site but for the best walking head to Keswick and the Borrowdale Valley or to Glenriding at the head of Ullswater.  The site is really well kept and the wardens are friendly and helpful.  The toilet block is really clean and warm, the showers are now showing a bit of wear and tear, but are spacious with lots of hot water.  The pitches are a good size.  There's a drying room should you be caught out in one of the lake land showers. We will be back again next year.
