Peaceful location, close to Bassenthwaite Lake.

Muir, Helen - 12/09/2025

We brought our canoe as we knew how close the site was to the lake. Very much enjoyed paddling around the lake! Site is close to the bus route into Keswick which is handy if you don’t want to use your van. Site was peaceful and is well kept. Handy to have the onsite cafe. Only downside is the toilet/shower block which is a bit tired. It is cleaned regularly but could do with a deep clean to freshen up the tiles, get rid of the cobwebs etc.

Not what was expected.

Kit, Andrew - 04/09/2025

Welcome was average. Below par to other sites we’ve visited. Poorly marked pitches. “Bistro” bar only sold pizzas and paninis. Toilet block located too far away from camping pitches. Toilet and shower block in need of modernisation.

Excellent bank holiday stay

The site was near perfect for us. Great location.loved having Herdwick Willy's on site. Plenty to do within easy reach and fabulous to be so near Bassenthwaite Lake which is beautiful. Toilet block wasn't the best we've experienced, but adequate and we never had to queue. Loved and and have already booked another stay.

Excellent location and peaceful site

Sells, Amanda - 02/09/2025

4

Excellent location with walking distance (5 mins) to lakeside which was wonderful for paddle boarding and swimming. Very safe for children. The campsite was very quiet and peaceful. The bus stop was next to the campsite, which we used to get into Keswick. The only criticism would be the toilet block as it wasn't the cleanest and was very spider and fly infested. The showers were hot though and always quiet. There was a number to call if we needed anything as there isn't a reception on the site. That was answered promptly and questions answered which was great.

Lovely location, easy access for caravan

Lett, Kay - 02/09/2025

A great location for those wanting daily access to a lake. The super pitches had lovely views and close to a chemical disposal but no smell! Only disappointment were the facilities. Only two toilets and showers for the ladies and far from the caravan. We used our caravan facilities much more than normal because of this. If we weren’t on a super pitch we would have struggled I think.Overall we had a great time and will go again.

Walking holiday

Elms, Trevor - 01/09/2025

The site is in a fantastic location and a very well looked after but unfortunately the biggest disappointment was the toilet and shower facilities which were never cleaned in the three nights we stayed and smelled of urine .I would definitely have given it a five star rating but because of the disgusting shower and toilet block I cannot .It is a pity because if this was rectified I would definitely return

Great little site

Currie, Samantha - 29/08/2025

Really lovely site, close to the lakes and good bus service to Keswick and Cockermouth. Lovely views and able to swim at Bassenthwaite Lake which is just a few minutes walk over the bridge. Herdwick Willy's bar is a great bonus too. We use our own facilities in our touring van, but there are only 2 showers and 2 toilets if you are using the facilities. They look freshly painted but could do with an upgrade. Overall great bank holiday weekend with ft ends and would come back.
