Why stay here ...
With the lovely fells soaring up and wild flowers in bloom everywhere, the Borrowdale Club Site is a delight to the eye. Located about 5 miles from Keswick and set in National Trust woodland, the caravan park offers numerous walking paths to explore the beautiful northern Lakes area. It doesn't have to be strenuous - forest trails, nature trails, guided walks and farm walks leave you spoilt for choice. There is a convenient bus service that runs from the site.
If the Lakes themselves are the main attraction on your holiday break, Borrowdale Club Site puts you within easy reach of Derwentwater, popular for its boats and vibrant marina, not to mention its range of pubs and restaurants. Bassenthwaite Water is also a short distance away from the caravan site and merits exploration for its Sailing Club. If more tranquil surroundings are what you're after, the charming waters of Buttermere and Crummock Water would be just the ticket, as here there is only the occasional passing rowing boat to disturb your lakeside reveries. The lovely local scenery also includes the dramatic hills of Castle Crag and Cats Bells. The hamlet of Grange, with a tea shop on the picturesque banks of the river is only a short walk away and local pubs & restaurants are within easy reach of the site.
Please note: This site does not have a toilet block.

Lovely quiet site
Borrowdale Caravan Club Site
Last week (18h October) I was lucky to stay for four nights at this lovely quiet site. It is relatively easy to reach and only 10 minutes drive from Keswick. It’s ideally positioned for easy access to the fells and lake and right next to the quiet hamlet of Grange which has a cafe.
Friendly wardens and loads of wildlife to watch including red squirrels.
I didn’t want to leave and needless to say I will be returning next year when they reopen.
great for a getaway
Borrowdale Caravan Club Site
we were welcomed by the very helpful site staff who were cheerful and friendly the site we chose was level and of a good size
the site is a peaceful and well laid out site with trees all around and a little walk takes you to the lake paths but make sure you have anti bite cream ! we didnt and we were unlucky to become lunch ,dinner,and supper for the midges who were very hungry by the no of bites we had !
we still enjoyed our stay and would return again as the area is fantastic and this site is a credit to the wardens who make it such a special place to visit thanks for a terrific stay.
Perfect one night stay, wish it could have been longer
Borrowdale Caravan Club Site
After spending the day in Keswick we tried here for a night's stay even though the sign said full...we were in luck they'd had a cancellation, the site was beautiful and our pitch was close to the path to the lake and had plenty of room for our awning, chair's etc.
We had a great walk by the lake, a brilliant night's sleep (it was so peaceful and relaxing) and woke up to bird song... perfect
The motorhome amenities were great to waste emptying and rubbish all in one area and easily accessible.
I would highly recommend this site and will be back again for longer with the kayak.
Beautiful site
Borrowdale Caravan Club Site
This was our first visit to Borrowdale and the site lived up to our expectations. All the pitches are lovely but they are amongst trees so will be shady. We chose pitch no 7 and we’re very happy there for 4 nights. We had a visiting red squirrel. A short walk takes you to the south shore of Derwent Water, the scenery is just so spectacular. You can stroll for miles towards Keswick, we caught the launch from Hawes and then got the bus back to the Lodore Hotel. Lunch in the Cottage Cafe in Grange was lovely. There are many paths leading out of the site to walk dogs and we will have to return to explore them some more! There was a well stocked shop at reception and local hotels where you can eat out when Covid restrictions are fully lifted. A peaceful tranquil site.
Summer in the Lakes
Borrowdale Caravan Club Site
Just back from 4 nights here. It is a great location but access can be interesting! A few thoughts for others. The main road along to Borrowdale runs a double decker bus service with a 'tree clipper' fixed upstairs. Beware if heading towards site the bushy hedges on your left have high stone walls in them in places so try not to meet the bus at narrow points to pass it. Also be wary of the bus that comes past the site. We came back on it and he does not hang about and has brakes that would do Harry Potters night bus proud! Avoid being on the section from the bridge to the site if it is on there. 77a times are on line.
On site when touring the pitches available we brushed a low hanging tree and pulled the heater vent cowl off. Thanks to the warden and some tall steps, sorted but look up as well as in front! We had a traditional summer rain storm and found the trees above us carried on dropping water all night so we moved to a more open roof design pitch! Ducatto based Mhomes may need to check the windscreen scuttle holes as we had half a tree and needles deposited there! Hike up to Catbells from further up the lake, very busy but if you pass the first summit and carry on you soon loose the crowds. No smooth soled shoes folks as the rock sections you climb are highly polished from hundreds of shoes, it is known as the ankle breaker walk for a reason. The lakeside hike to Keswick is lovely, even in a monsoon! We popped up at Portinscale, then discovered Keswick was another 40 mins walk so hopped the bus back to the site gate. Walked to the bridge next day and got the double decker in to the town. Sit upstairs at the front for fairground style thrills and bits of tree! Saw 1 red squirrel, 1 grey one (the warden is tracking him!) and lots of birds so put some food out and see who arrives. The right food is on sale in the shop. Wardens keep this wonderful site in pristine condition.
