What customers say

Lovely, peaceful farm stay with roomy, serviced sites and great views. Hosts are friendly, honesty shop's handy, and it's a top spot for walks and hitting Keswick. Some reckon the facilities are a bit basic, but most loved it and plan to be back.

Jamie M.

Fully-serviced gravel caravan site

Liked Big level pitches, beautiful views, lovely little farm shop for essentials and treats. Walked into Keswick down the old railway track as recommended by the owners (around 5 mile walk) so glad we did as it was such a scenic route and we'll maintained, caught the bus back. Would stay again.

Disliked Shower block and toilets were clean and lots of hot water however could do with being updated.

Rebecca G.

Fully-serviced gravel caravan site

Liked Quiet site, very spacious pitches (for our campervan and awning, plus plenty of space to sit out).
Authentic working farm, exactly as described.
The scenery is outstanding, short walk to a couple of pubs or a slightly longer walk (4 miles) into Keswick.

Disliked Difficult to say what was disliked as we had read the description and reviews so we’re fully aware of the type of site we were visiting.

Fully-serviced gravel caravan site

Liked Pitch size, quiet site, very convenient for Threlkeld & Keswick, local paths for walking dogs, the 'honesty box' farm shop.

Disliked Men's showers, cold and little to no water pressure. Disappointing. Apparently the women's showers were hot and worked okay according to my wife. Couldn't quite give a 10 rating, sorry.

Fully-serviced gravel caravan site

Liked The location is really great for exploring the North of the Lakes. On a working farm with sheep passing through each day. Great walks from the site. 4 mile off road walk to Keswick. Nice little farm shop on site with local produce. Our Pitch was huge! We fit our caravan and awning as well as a motorhome and awning and a car on it!

Disliked Nothing to dislike

Fully-serviced gravel caravan site

Liked What a gem of a place we loved it . Working farm family that owned it were very friendly and helpful . The setting is beautiful watching the sheep brought to and from the fields was great . The honesty shop was lovely . Very dog friendly close to the main road but you wouldn’t know it . We had a lovely walk with our dogs . The shower was excellent not push button great pressure and you could adjust the temperature.

Disliked Shower block maybe needs a revamp .

Fully-serviced gravel caravan site

Liked Everything. The location was perfect! It was so peaceful and you are across the road from the start of the cycle path that takes you into Keswick. The pitches are large and flat and the shop is well stocked with local produce. Some reviews have talked about the showers and toilets negatively but the campsite is on a working farm and whilst the facilities are old they are clean. There is no shortage of hot water and the shower pressure is brilliant, just what you need after a long day exploring all this beautiful location has to offer. We will definitely be back.

Disliked Nothing.

Local attractions

The site is on a cycle path leading to Keswick, so you could either drive to town (10 minutes) or ride there by bike. Once you’ve arrived, have a left-of-field hour or so learning about the history of pencils at the Derwent Pencil Museum before gazing at artefacts dug up from around Lakeland in the Keswick Museum & Art Gallery. Just on the outskirts of town is the Castlerigg Stone Circle, dating back as far as the Neolithic area; check this historic spot out, then trudge up to the 2,848-foot Halls Fell Top at the peak of Blencathra. The mighty mountain ranges of Skiddaw (20 minutes’ drive) and Helvellyn (10 minutes) are also local to the site if you’re up for another hiking challenge. As you’re in the Lake District, you’ll surely want to be inspecting some of the area’s bodies of water too. The closest to Keswick is Derwent Water (15 minutes) – ace for boat trips around the Theatre by the Lake – but Thirlmere (10 minutes) and Ullswater (20 minutes) are within easy reach as well.
