We have just returned from six nights at this site.
It's location is amazing. Very close to the shores of Derwent Water and with lovely walks directly from the site.
The site itself is clean and well maintained and the wardens are really pleasant and helpful. There are no on site facilities (other than the office and small shop) or wifi, which wasn't a problem at all for us - in fact something of a bonus, but some may find that difficult. We had a pitch which let plenty of sun in, but there are one or two which seemed quite dark at certain times of the day, as the trees are fairly close set, so I would think picking your spot carefully is quite important.
As has already been said the road down from Keswick is not brilliant, and getting through Grange can be something of a feat on busy bank holiday periods. However, we have a fairly big outfit, (Unicorn Valencia, towed by a Nissan D22 pickup) and we managed without hitting anyone, anything or each other, so it is manageable with care.
The gate into the site is rather narrow and on quite a tight turn. It could really do with widening as it would improve access no end and there is room to do this.
We had a magical six days here, a lovely pitch, lovely neighbours, friendly wardens, stunning scenery and great weather to boot. We could quite easily not have turned the engine on the truck for the whole week (provisions willing) as there is so much to do. We hired a rowing boat one afternoon, walked up to Keswick another day, walked over to Mary Mount for lunch and dinner and just idled away in the sun.
A lovely holiday, we didn't want to leave and will certainly be back.
Oh a tip for avoiding traffic when you leave. We left just before 8am and hardly met another vehicle until Keswick. Much less stressful than our journey in!
