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.

Immaculate site and supremely friendly staff
Troutbeck Head Club Campsite
We stayed in our VW camper van for one night in mid August. Sadly, we didn't have time to stay longer and explore, but the site itself was superb. Spacious, quiet, beautifully kept. The facilities had been recently updated and were spotless and had everything we needed, even down to the 'help yourself' cooking herbs planted by the facilities. We arrived in the evening after a long journey and were immediately refreshed by the welcome from the reception staff. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.
Great Site and staff really helpful
Troutbeck Head Club Campsite
Great clean site - we stayed on one of the service pitches opposite the pods. Staff always seemed happy to help and chat while they were keeping the site in order . The lady suggested a good walk which went into Keswick - 3.5 miles and catch the bus back (£2/head). I agree with a previous comment about take a aerial lead as the reception is poor but once plugged in to the post aerial it was fine .
No Wifi - But who cares !! not there to be on my phone ,enjoy the scenery and walks.
Walk just on the top part of the site takes you off into the woods . We had a large dog who enjoyed it .
The site is easy to drive round and park up - no motor mover needed
Not alot else to say but enjoy and the Troutbeck inn just up the road is good for a evening meal /drink
Spotless facilities, lovely site
Troutbeck Head Club Campsite
Spotless modernised facilities blocks. We pitched in the Beckside area which had great views across to Blencathra.
Good area for dogs - lots of walks in the vicinity.
Rookin Farm next door is great for horse riding and other activities.
Easy to get to the site with it being just about 1.5 miles off the A66, so also a good base for visiting the northern lakes.
Basecamp Provisions and Cafe is a short drive away and sells delicious goods.
The site is slightly away from the honeypot areas, but a great base.
Parfait
Troutbeck Head Club Campsite
Super standing avec larges emplacements dans un cadre magnifique entouré de moutons. Les sanitaires sont neuves et impeccables. Fish and chips et pub dans un ranch à 300m du site. Juste parfait ;)
Summer Holiday 2024
Troutbeck Head Club Campsite
Stayed here for 4 nights at the end of our summer holidays, Found the site very well maintained site staff very friendly close to Ulswater. Good for walking cycling mid way between Keswick and Penrith both places well worth a visit.
