- DWDavid Woolley1 day ago5.0An excellent, peaceful location at the southern end of Derwentwater.
- KDKenny Dodds5 days ago2.0I’ve seen many great reviews but this site was just not for us. No toilets or showers. Motorhome waste and fresh water only up the top pitches along with chemical toilet cleaning facilities. Pitches were very uneven and very dirty. Cut our bank holiday a day short as we didn’t gel with the site.
- DCDeborah ClarkAug 27, 20265.0Reluctant to write a review as I’d quite like to keep this place a secret! We’ve been touring the UK for seven years and this is quite simply the best site we’ve stayed on. Yes, the road in is a little tricky, and yes, there are no showers or toilets — but you know that before you come, and for us that’s part of what makes it so special. The setting is absolutely idyllic. Beautiful, peaceful walks straight from the site, and the pitches are so well spaced that you feel as though you have the trees and countryside all around you. It’s about a 20-minute walk to the jetty, where you can catch the boat to Keswick, and there’s a bus stop right outside the site for exploring further afield. The warden was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the whole place has a wonderfully peaceful, unspoilt feel. Sublime. Easily the best campsite we’ve stayed at in the UK.
- SHSimon HowarthAug 22, 20265.05 stars. This site offers pitches in a lovely woodland setting with great walking on Lakeland Fells direct from the site. There are no facilities which is what helps to make this a special place. Good access to Derwentwater too.
- MSm sAug 11, 20262.012.15h Werd weggestuurd van camping, mocht niet wachten tot inchecken vanaf 13.00h mogelijk was. Op mijn vraag waarom niet expliciet vermeld werd op website en bookingsformulier dat wachten verboden is, gaf men aan dat dat te veel moeite was. Ik heb rondgereden en ontmoette in de pub langs de weg 2 Engelse gasten die hetzelfde probleem hadden. Zonde van deze arrogante club, want de camperplaats zonder voorzieningen is verder schitterend en de ligging ook.
