Great location

Henderson, Catherine - 03/10/2026

4

15 minute drive to Keswick, 10 minutes to Cockermouth. Easy to access from A66 with touring caravan. Lake walk and riverside walk from the site. Stylish shop (essentials only) and bar (soon to be Bistro). All the staff were so friendly and helpful. We were on a super serviced pitch, this area is very spacious and has lovely views of the surrounding hills. The rest of the site is very clean and tidy, with good space between pitches. The toilet/shower block is very dated but serviceable. Even though there are only 4 showers and toilets in total, most people are in static homes so are not using them. We were the only people in them whenever we used them. The showers are nice and hot with good pressure (although you have to keep pressing the button to keep the shower running).we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back.

Positives - Great location with easy access to Keswick. Lovely clean chalet, well equipped with amazing water pressure, loved the hot tub although would be good to have a wee bit more privacy round it (not a major issue though), Friendly reception staff, helpful when I asked about an issue with lighting and sorted the problem immediately. Fab doggy welcome pack and staff really friendly towards my dog. Good hill walks all within a very short drive and lake a few minutes walk away from the park.Didn’t use the bistro so can’t comment. Negatives - pillows not so comfy so would bring my own next timeAll in all, loved it and would definitely return! TIP - Cafe no. 4 in Bowness-on-Windermere does the best ever fry up!

Disappointed

Rutherford, Ian - 04/09/2026

Upon arrival the entrance to the site looks like a scrap yard , and on the right a really small toilet block that requires refurbishing or rebuilt there in terrible condition but then it opens up to a lovely well kept site and a impressive new bar and reception area , pitches are large ( GWE REQUIRES RAMPS) a really quite site with nothing for kids on it , everything is a drive away but good access to lakes and Cumbria

A lovely quiet site, with beautiful views all around.The pitches are a good size and level.The onsite toilets need a re vamp. They are kept clean but are dated and a bit dingy.Staff on the site are great and very helpful I am sure it will be much improved next season with the change over in ownership On site bar is great. Prices a little higher than expected.

Site recently changed hands which was the excuse for every problem encountered. Lodge wasn’t ready at 4pm and when we did get in found dirty towels left in a wardrobe.Accommodation generally has seen better days and staff did their best to rectify issues on first day.Apparently accommodation is being refurbished just hadn’t got round to ours yet.Bistro opened mid stay but lots of eating options locally.

Recently stayed to attended a friends wedding close by. Location was great and a fantastic view from the caravan/hottub. Caravan is well equipped for everything you need to help with your stay (hand soap and dishcloths//tea towel are not included and this wasnt made clear at booking although didn’t cause us an issue).We had a small problem with the main door and a member of the team was quick to come to fix the issue. Staff are very friendly and happy to help. The park has been taken over recently and I feel there is a lot of good to come from this.
