Unpowered grass tent site
Liked This was my 3rd stay. The facilities at the campsite are excellent with a communal room that has kettles, toaster, microwave and fridge /freezer. The showers and toilets are clean. Showers have lovely hot water which was welcomed after a day spent in the rain
Gorgeous views of blencathra. Quiet at night. 15 mins drive to keswick, pooley bridge or penrith.

Powered grass and gravel caravan site
Liked Showers and toilets were clean and tidy.
Disliked We booked an “Electric grass and gravel touring pitch”. Although there is a small grass between the pitches, the pitch itself is all gravel so this is where you have to put the awning too. We chose this site expecting to put the awning on grass as it is comfortable underfoot and won’t damage the ground sheet, and had overlooked other sites that advertised only gravel so were disappointed and for this reason we wouldn’t return.
