Great Site

My wife and I visited this site last week and we were very pleased. Our initial welcome was friendly and helpful and we got ourselves a pretty good pitch. The site was tidy and clean and we had a very relaxing stay. Getting to the site from the main road was interesting to say the least, some quite narrow bits to negotiate. We will definitely stay at this site again and continue exploring the surrounding countryside.

Great Site, Stunning Location.

A very friendly site in a lovely quiet location, Love the peace and tranquillity. The wardens are lovely, friendly and extremely helpful. The lake is about 100yards from the edge of the site with easy walking all round the lake. Scenery is stunning and we even saw a red squirrel on our last day! We'll definitely be back.

Borrowdale beauty

Just had four days in Borrowdale. The wardens managed to supply us with glorious weather which is a major plus. This site is in a fantastic position for all kinds of walks, from easy to strenuous, and must have one of the best dogwalks - straight out of the site into the woods. It will not suit everyone as there are no toilets and no playground area, but we didn't feel these were a major problem. For lovers of the lakes we would thoroughly recommend this site, but remember Borrowdale has the highest rainfall in the lakes so don't forget the waterproofs!!

A weekend in Borrowdale

I visited the Borrowdale Caravan club site on the 4th September for two nights. We arrived at about 7:45 at night. The last mile is quit a tight road especially at the turn with double hump back bridge. It is easy to understand why the entry leaving times are restricted, but as a first time caravaner we made it withoutto much dificulty. The site is in a beautiful location, set in a forest but only yards from the lake shore. There are outstanding views of the lake and surrounding mountings. The only drawback to the site is the lack of toilets and showers, but with the modern vans it's not much of a problem. On leaving the site I had some difficulty connecting my electrics, thankfully the sit warden and I his wife were on hand to lend me some help and advice. Overall we had an excelent weekend and will be back again soon.

Great Bank Holiday Weekend

Had an awful journey to Manesty (sorry Borrowdale). Warden's wife was most understanding and helpful. Warden gave a wonderful welcome despite the arrival time. Warden's "Shop" sold everything we could have wanted to save the drive to Keswick. Used to come twice yearly for many years, had a break but returning was as good as ever. Lovely meal at the Mary Mount (using discount negotiated by Warden), walks are all brilliant from site. Site very well looked after and peaceful. Most enjoyable weekend, thanks to the Wardens.

Peaceful and Lovely

We stayed here for the August Bank Holiday and were very impressed; from the welcome and thorough sign in through to departure. The wardens at this site are very friendly and professional and we spoke to them a few times, they are knowledgeable about the area, what to do and how to get around. The on-site shop is the very best we have ever seen, the owners make sure they stock everything you could need, but also treats like locally produced goods. We were on pitch 45, but all pitches to us looked good. The site is impeccably well maintained and perhaps it not having toilet blocks is a good thing as it did not appear to attract too many children (a plus for us!) Everyone was very friendly. The launch boat is about a 20 min walk from the site (buy your tickets at the site shop and save £1 pp), there are 3 tea rooms in walking distance and 2 hotels which enable non residents to have a drink. The roads to the site are a little tight especially when walkers park their cars on the roadside. A great site and will certainly return.

Our favourite site

Just completed our second holiday in Borrowdale in less than two months. Fantastic peaceful location with well separated pitches and lots of wildlife. There are a huge variety of walking routes for all abilities in the immediate vicinity for both low level and high level walks. We now take bikes with us as there are some superb cycling routes along very very picturesque roads and cycle paths. Our only minor gripe is the awkward location of the drain for the motor home waste tank.

Red Squirrels

Amazing site, so theres no loos thats fine its only a mile to public loos if you don't like using your own. starring breakfast with a red squirrel was a real treat. Amazing walking straight from the gates Catcalls can be done easily and we had a fantastic time. Oh the lakes brilliant not so keen on Keswick when crowded on MKT day. Got to go back soon

Peace & quite in Borrowddale

This is the best site for peace & quite. Plenty of walks. Lovely for dogs as it is right on Derwent water with a little walk through the woods. Nice to take a boat trip (dogs welcome). Borrowdale Hotel is also dog friendly if you want to walk over for a drink. We have been twice in a short space of time and will not doubt be revisiting.

Shhhh! Dont tell anybody!

This is the best kept secret in the network! They say it is about location location location - well this site has all three!! Right at the foot o Cat Bells and on the edge of Derwent Water you have access to the ferry and a great little bus stops right tight outside the site. Using the transport links you can plan loads of walks using the boat or bus to drop you off. There is the best view in Britain down the valley of Borrowdale and a boardwalk to get you across the lake to the cLadore Falls! On Steve and Dee are pretty well spot on too! Best wardens by far! But dont tell anyone!!
