stayed here for 2 nights as a stop over on our way to scotland. very clean site, went to Aira force waterfalls, and walk. Would come back to this site.
Depends on your preference.......
If you want to sit and and enjoy the scenery this is a great site. The disadvantage for us is that you have to drive to get anywhere, particularly if you want to walk the fells, which may not be an issue for some.
The site is generally quiet and peaceful. With some good views.
Exceptions being:
The activity centre next door during the daytime. Though this could be lessened by choosing a pitch further away.
Children racing on their bikes in particular areas of the site. No I am not a killjoy - it is an accident waiting to happen as they certainly wouldn't be able to stop in time were they to come upon a car or outfit pulling out.
The toilet block has been refurbished (not the customary cream) and is spotlessly clean. The wardens are helpful and friendly. They keep the site clean and tidy.
Some of the pitches have large pools of water if it rains heavy. Not ideal to step into coming out of your 'van.
It's horses for courses. While I can see many people enjoying and returning to the site it's not the one for me.

Excellent site
Only stayed for one night en route to Scotland on the North Coast 500 - it was in a good location just off the M6 to break the drive up. The site was in a lovely setting, peaceful, good for walking the dog, the facilities were spotless and it would be a great base to get out and about in the Northern Lakes.
Tranquil Stay with Exceptional Facilities and Perfect Location
The Campsite is a fantastic destination.
The facilities are great! There is a games room with a pool, a huge Connect 4, and information about the local area.
Great M6 connectivity.
The campsite is impeccably maintained, with pristine facilities (showers, toilets and wash up area looked brand new!) and exceptionally welcoming staff. (even when booked in on the wrong day :-P )
The van pitch I had was with with EHU pitch was great. The site provided a peaceful stay, free from any disturbances from the nearby Rookin House activity centre.
The convenience of getting to the M6, Penrith, and Keswick makes this site a must-return for me. The hill opposite is a great-looking walk, with views of Blencathra and the hills!
Highly recommended for a memorable stay.

Brilliant site slightly off the beaten track
An absolutely brilliant site which has top notch facilities just off the beaten track.
Lovely views of hills and mountains and a lovely stream running through the site.
Worth noticing the activity centre next door which can make some noise in daylight hours - only one which caused us an issue was shooting which scared our dog.
Other than that brilliant đź‘Ť
If you stay, take a wander to Harry’s Bench - top tip!

Wonderful site with excellent facilities and easy access to the M6
This is an excellent site which is really well maintained. The facilities are spotless and the staff are really friendly. There’s a lovely dog walk available on site. We stayed on the fully serviced pitches which is further away from the nearby Rookin House activity centre so had no noise at all from them. We will definitely be back as access to the M6, Penrith and Keswick is super easy.
The Troutbeck Inn up the road is excellent the food is delicious and the staff are very welcoming and friendly.

Excellent CAMC Site. Good access from the M6 & on the way to Keswick. Rural location for peace & tranquility.
Well laid out large site with great facilities to include play area & games room for the kids.
Superb toilets & services block. Spotless.
Well managed by the onsite team especially Janet, who help avoid a mini catastrophe & Melanie for booking us in.
Great pub just up the road the Troutbeck Inn.
Lovely Lake District site
Stayed here over August bank holiday. It’s clean and smart with good facilities and friendly staff, same as we experience at all CAMC sites.
This site is really convenient to access the Northern Lakes by car, it’s not so good for walking from, the pub is up the road and there is no footpath or shop within walking distance There is however a lovely walk up into the woods. The information room has the best selection of walking information I’ve seen at any site
There is no wifi and signal varies across the site. However Through a combination of data sharing, hotspotting and using a fire stick we managed to watch the football in the caravan!
Will come back to this site

Immaculate facilities, quiet, phenomenal staff. highly recommend this site
Granted the site was only half to two thirds full when we stayed. But the facilities and shower block was kept IMMACULATE despite pouring down weather for the 2 nights. Site is zoned to facilitate differing needs, (eg away from play park if you like distance from children). This also gives feeling the site is smaller than it really is. The play park was great and from the zone/area we were in great views from any pitch so could keep eye on little ones whilst setting up and cooking.
The staff were super helpful and friendly. Maintained the grounds beautifully. Always available should you need them. Many experienced motorhomers and repeat visitors on the site, super helpful and friendly to us relative newbies. Highly recommend this site and will definitely be back.
The Lakes
Well, what can we say about this site ???????? If ever there was a perfect campsite, this surely is it. From the second we arrived , we were met by extremely nice wardens. Friendly, funny and helpful ,we just knew we were going to like it here. On using the facilities on arrival we were blown away but the shower buildings. Very modern, plenty toilets ,showers and wash cubicles all spotlessly clean. Fantastic pitches all with beautiful scenery from all angles. It is a wonderful gateway to 'The Lakes' . Great play are for children . Superb games and tv room . Fabulous laundry facilities .We liked that there weren't too many dogs close to us as this can sometimes ruin our whole holiday not being dog people. All in all a wonderful site.
