Troutbeck Head Club Campsite in Penrith is set in classically beautiful north Lake District countryside, and is conveniently only 4 miles from the restaurants and shops of Ullswater. A fabulous getaway for nature lovers and walkers, the campsite nestles in a picturesque valley alongside a babbling brook.
Situated 10 miles from Keswick and below the Great Mell Fell, the site has spectacular views of Blencathra to the west and provides access to some of the prettiest walks in the country. For superb views of the central mountains, a drive over the dramatic Kirkstone Pass is not to be missed. This will lead you to Windermere, Ambleside and Grasmere, where you can sample the local restaurants and explore some of Wordsworth's favourite haunts. A lake cruise on Ullswater is a must, with the option of a scenic walk between Howtown and Glenridding (only 7 miles away). For the energetic, the Rookin House Farm Centre next door to the caravan site offers plenty of fun activities - quad bikes, archery, go-karting, clay pigeon shooting, horse riding and much more.
The site provides easy access to numerous lakes, mountains, valleys & rivers, whilst pretty villages, country pubs and farm shops are plentiful, making Troutbeck the ideal destination for exploring and relaxing in the Cumbrian countryside.

We will be Back
This beautiful site set in the most stunning area of Troutbeck is definitely worth a visit. Unfortunately we were only there for one night only but the site really found a way into our hearts. So peaceful and scenic plus immaculately clean. The grounds are beautifully maintained and nice walks... Show more

Peaceful site
