A gem of a site

Lovely quiet site with some stunning views. Modern and clean facilities. No TV reception but booster system which was new to us and after purchasing a coax from the office all was good (maybe CAMC should advertise this more clearly?). However now sorted for other similar sites. We pitched at peg 82 and later found it backed onto the site sewerage works and got a few whiffs of that but not significant enough to move or complain (we were out and about exploring the area most of the time). Mayde something the site staff could point out though? We will be back.

Excellent

We had a wonderful time here, cycling from site using the National cycle routes. Occasionally quite steep so cheating with an electric bike is useful. Excellent breakfast stop in Pooley Bridge. We found the site really peaceful. Yes, there was some clay pigeon shooting, but not for long periods. We found members barking dogs much more irritating- if your dog persists in barking at other people why can’t you put it in your unit? Everything was spotless and clearly the club is trying to do their best to keep us safe in these trying times. Really unfortunate therefore that members can’t abide by the request to wear masks in the facilities. I wear mine to protect you so it seems that you are being really discourteous to me when you don’t do the same. Thank you to the wardens for making us feel so welcome

Stunning

Stayed for only 2 nights en route from Scotland to Southport. Very impressed both with location and the site it's been updated (I have been led to believe) and all the facilities are 1st class. No complaints on any score and will certainly stay again probably for longer. Only visited Penrith, which is a lovely town had a great meal in the pub located on the market place. Hopefully next time we will go further afield.

Short breaks in Troutbeck

We stayed as a family of 4 adults in our campervan on 2 separate occasions in August. Once at the beginning and once in the middle. 2 nights each time. It’s a lovely spacious well set out site with fantastic views towards Blencathera and Skiddaw. The first time we stayed next to the toilet block which was a large hard standing and we had an extra car as well as awning and van and it all fitted well. And the second time we did the same but in a different area in front of a tree. The reception lady was very friendly and welcoming both times for check in. The toilet block was a bit further for us the second time but still only a few minutes. All very clean and this time fully open so no waiting for showers or toilets. I noticed that people are now not wearing masks at all ..but it’s up to personal preference. The site is not within walking distance of a pub so you do need to drive. The fish and chip van visits once a week on the site. Penrith is about 10 miles drive but had a good choice of bars and restaurants. If you like craft beer I would recommend the Fell brewery bar which had just opened and had lots of seating space upstairs as well. We have a dog and did not find one restaurant which did not take dogs. Keswick is good to visit but it was very busy and the same for pooley bridge. There are no fells you can walk straight out of the site, and the forestry commission are doing a good job in fencing everywhere off now so it limits some close dog walking. Wainwright’s smallest peak can be seen opposite the site but you still have to drive to it to walk up. Also Latrigg fell near Keswick has good views over towards Derwentwater and also Bassenthwaite in the distance. Car park is small. I would definitely recommend this site and we will return again in the autumn for the lovely colours. Also you get the best sunsets in the borrowdale area in the autumn months!

Noisy

This is a large pleasant site with well-kept level pitches. I'm not quite sure, though, why it is more expensive than other Lake District sites. Your experience will vary according to where you are located. There are some pitches which look out onto lovely Lake District views, such as 70, 71, 50,49. Unofrtunately we were on 77 which has no views because the large fence is hiding the activity centre next door which produces constant unpleasant noise from first thing in the morning until the evening. Well worth doing the walk over to the Royal Hotel at Dockray. Not too strenuous and there are some lovely views, good beer at the pub.

Fantastic

We live in Cumbria but fancied a weekend away a little closer to home, we certainly weren't disappointed. This site is in the perfect location for exploring the North Lakes, set between Penrith and Keswick you're quite literally spoilt for choice! Facilities are some of the cleanest and well kept that we've experienced, lovely little park for the children to play in and a little wooden area which they used for some more exploring. The staff are an absolute credit to this site, they work hard and it shows in the high standards around the site. We'll be returning again for a local weekend away.

One night stay at Troutbeck

We used Troutbeck as a one night stop over on our way to London (from Aberdeen). The site is really well kept, toilet block and showers were first class and the staff were very friendly. We cycled with our 8 year old to the pub (1-1/4 miles) and it was all downhill on the way there so we decided to have just the one drink to make sure we could get back! We didn't have any wifi but managed reception on the phone for my minecraft addicted child. Perfect location for walks and visiting the surrounding area. We will return again.

We have found a perfect site for exploring the Northern Lakes

Just returned from an 8 night stay at Troutbeck, and were very satisfied with the club site. The facilities recently refurbed, are to a hotel quality of standard and cleanliness. The games room was welcome during the odd shower. Dog walk was excellent, and never boring due to the constant wonderful views all the way round. We had no internet, and I was not aware of this before arrival, so had a couple of disgruntled teenagers. This was then exacerbated by the lack of TV reception for the first 4 days until the aerial repair man sorted the job out. Other than those two issues, cannot fault the site, staff or location. We will return!
