Troutbeck Head Club Campsite in Penrith is set in classically beautiful north Lake District countryside, and is conveniently only 4 miles from the restaurants and shops of Ullswater. A fabulous getaway for nature lovers and walkers, the campsite nestles in a picturesque valley alongside a babbling brook.
Situated 10 miles from Keswick and below the Great Mell Fell, the site has spectacular views of Blencathra to the west and provides access to some of the prettiest walks in the country. For superb views of the central mountains, a drive over the dramatic Kirkstone Pass is not to be missed. This will lead you to Windermere, Ambleside and Grasmere, where you can sample the local restaurants and explore some of Wordsworth's favourite haunts. A lake cruise on Ullswater is a must, with the option of a scenic walk between Howtown and Glenridding (only 7 miles away). For the energetic, the Rookin House Farm Centre next door to the caravan site offers plenty of fun activities - quad bikes, archery, go-karting, clay pigeon shooting, horse riding and much more.
The site provides easy access to numerous lakes, mountains, valleys & rivers, whilst pretty villages, country pubs and farm shops are plentiful, making Troutbeck the ideal destination for exploring and relaxing in the Cumbrian countryside.

Tranquil Stay with Exceptional Facilities and Perfect Location
Troutbeck Head Club Campsite
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
Troutbeck Head Club Campsite
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
Troutbeck Head Club Campsite
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
Troutbeck Head Club Campsite
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
