The view from the pitch

I am not sure why this site gets such good reviews. Don't be fooled by the highly selective photos of the site showing far reaching views of Blencathra. We were on the fully serviced pitches and there is no view at all. The pitches seem close together making the whole site feel claustrophobic. The pitch we were allocated was also a lot smaller than most of the others (only 3.2m wide) which made it a tight squeeze for car/van/awning. To make matters worse we were in receipt of a "Keep Off The Grass" sign within hours of arriving. This seems typical of the CC "firm but fair" approach to site management. Maybe a quiet word for the site warden would have been a more tactful approach? We did get mobile and FreeView signals but, unlike other reviewers, we do use the internet a lot to plan our holiday activities, so we do like to be "connected". Given the scale of this site (162 pitches) I would have thought the CC could have afforded to put in WiFi even if it just in the clubhouse. The upsides to the site are that it is clean, has good showers/toilets, is easy to get to and is well placed for walks in and around Keswick. But I don't think this site will make it onto our favourites list.
