Favourite Site in the North of England

We come to Troutbeck as often as we can and over the last 20 years have visited on countless occasions. We love the location. The view of Blencathra is just amazing. It's an ever changing picture and if you have any physical limitations, you don't need to go anywhere to see the North Lakes landscape in all its glory. For the physically able, the local walks and cycling are fabulous and there are plenty of local eateries and with both Penrith and Keswick under 10 miles away in either direction, there's no shortage of places to go. Hadrian's Wall is only an hour away, Brougham Castle is worth a visit too. St Bees, Emmerdale, and so many other lovely places are easy to drive to. The site itself is always kept tidy and the facilities spotless. The wardens we've met over the years have always been welcoming and friendly. On our last visit, our friends found themselves somewhat stranded as the husband (who else?) broke his wrist. There was no issue for them to extend their stay whilst a tow home was organised, in fact nothing was too much trouble and they were able to enjoy holiday as best they could I tell everyone how fantastic this site is and would recommend you to try it at least once to see whether you like it as much as we do. Can't wait to return!

Great site.

Great site, very clean, well maintained, staff very pleasant. Iv been here a few times now and on this occasion the peace and quiet was spoilt by a family with three dogs which one of them barked all day and through the night.

Couldn’t ask for a better site

We have stayed at this site several times and will keep going back. The location is perfect for all aspects of activities in the lakes as well as being east to access from the motorway. The facilities, pitches and layout are all outstanding. The staff are extremely helpful. Can’t say enough good things about this. We would highly recommend.

Not a relaxing site

This site is in a great location for holidaying around the lakes. The staff were friendly and We saw that that they were very helpful. Unfortunately we like a quiet and relaxing site and this site not only has an activity place next door but it’s also a farm and we happened to be there on the morning they decided to shear the sheep starting at 6.30 am. The pen was literally up against the fence to the site and we were on the other side. Also the dog walk seemed to be around the pitches including our own which we thought was not the correct etiquette The campsite didn’t appear to be overly busy but the shower block was not as clean as we had expected from CMC site

Favourite site…amazing location and facilities

This has got to be the best site ever. It’s location is amazing for both walking and cycling. We’ve cycled to Ullswater and then up Kirkstone Pass to Windermere. Ullswater in my opinion is the prettiest lake in the Lake District. Lots of lovely cafes and places to stop off and just sit and relax. The site has really easy access, no horrible narrow roads. We’ve stayed on a fully serviced pitch and a standard pitch and both were superb! Wardens were super friendly. This is now our joint no 1 go to site.

First Trip - will be back !

From arrival to departure a pleasure. Staff made you very welcome and kept the site clean and tidy. We used a serviced pitch as there for 2 weeks, first time we had done this and would do it again for the convenience. Although a big site you would never know it. It was busy with people coming and going for their few days away, to those who stayed longer, we met some lovely people and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The showers were always quiet, loads of hot water and spotless. The whole site was maintained really well. We had a look at the pods and they looked really nice. Great dog walk in the the forest area. Will definitely go back. Thanks Troutbeck Team.

First Site since 2019.

This was our first site since September 2019, and a little further than we wanted to travel on the first day of our holiday to Scotland, we had little problem on the way, and informed the site that we would be late, they contacted us and we explained that it would be near 8:00pm when we would arrive and when we did they were at the office and we had a great reception. We stayed 2 nights and used the site as a launch pad for Scotland, we intend to do the NC500. I don’t easily remember names but the wardens were excellent and had a great selection of items that might be required because of forgetting to pack them. Highly recommend thats what we think of this sight, and we might use it on our return from Scotland.

Wonderful views .

Stayed 5 nights on a pitch at the bottom of the site near the stream and adjacent farm . The views were spectacular even on an overcast day , sun sets were amazing. Facilities were spotless , wardens very friendly. Some noise from nearby activity centre early in the day but only for a short time and did not spoil our stay . The only thing that annoyed me were other people on site who thought it ok to wander around my van / car and down the side of my awning with their dogs - it’s rude and ill mannered to pitch cross .

Lovely site

We stayed on a three night trip ready to further our journey to Scotland. Immaculate site, really friendly wardens. TV reception was poor, but there were booster points. We didn’t have a cable, but we were able to purchase a cable for £20 (cash only in the shop). I didn’t have enough cash but the lovely lady trusted me to pay the following day which was kind. The facilities looked brand new and were immaculate, well pleased with that. We were booked onto a fully serviced pitch, but the outlook was disappointing, only a grass bank to look at; non serviced pitches has a much prettier outlook. However, we were very near the dog walking area which did suit us. The only slight blip was the cost, over £40 per night which seemed a bit stiff but maybe I’m out of touch with prices this year, bearing in mind the inflation rates!

The site is quiet, but the adjacent activity centre is noisy

We had a lovely pitch on Lower Beck which the site staff told us was the quieter part of the site. There are a lot of site staff which is probably due to the Experience Freedom glamping pods as I understand need more maintenance - we didn't see many site staff around the site. Although the part of the site we were on was quiet, there was noise from the adjacent activity centre - the noise from the quad bikes and shooting in the day was okay but there was loud music on Saturday night which continued until the early hours of Sunday morning. The information room was a disappointment - a large room with very little in it. Site staff were unable to provide any information about local buses - suggesting we look online if we needed any information. On a more positive note, the facilities block was spotlessly clean. The site is probably one that we would use again for an overnight stay if we were travelling north as it's not too far from the motorway, but not one for us to stay on any longer.
