    Overview

    Keswick Club Site is a two-minute walk from this site with water-based activities on Derwentwater.


    Our lovely little Derwentwater Club Site is nestled between Skiddaw and Derwentwater in the north of the Lake District and is enticingly close to the pretty market town of Keswick. In fact, pull on your walking boots and you’ll be in the centre in just minutes.

    It’s easy to see why Keswick is the major centre for tourism in the region with its many varied shops, restaurants and museums, not to mention the lure of water and the hills.


    The National Trust’s Crow Park and Hope Park are close to the campsite. The latter offers crazy golf and a putting course. Enjoy low level walking around Derwentwater’s shores or if you want more of a challenge Skiddaw, Helvellyn and Striding Edge and Blencathra are close by. Head to the Keswick launch and hop on board a cruise boat for a 50 minute tour of the lake or jump off at one of the seven lakeshore jetties.The Cumberland Pencil Museum, the Keswick Brewing Company and the Theatre by the Lake are all worth visiting.


    Ready Camp is available at this campsite. (Please note that, although we welcome dogs on this site, in the interest of all guests we do not permit pets to stay within the Ready Camp tents).


    WiFi

    100% coverage cannot be guaranteed due to rural location, weather conditions and changing flora. These can cause variable signal strength. Hotspots are available. More information. 


    Worth Noting

    Minimum booking for stays may apply. No accessibility for launching canoes/kayaks onto Derwentwater. Keswick Club Site, just a few minutes away, offers a true lakeside setting. Some pitches may require a 25m electric cable. When arriving at site, drive past the lane to Lakeside Holiday homes and we are the next gate on the right.


    Eat Local

    A farmers' market is held in Keswick on Thursdays and Saturdays.

    Local area

    Derwentwater

    Location:
    Surrounded by rolling fells and snowy mountain tops, Derwentwater is one of the most popular destinations in the Lake District National Park. Arguably one of the most dramatically beautiful spots in the country, Derwentwater is a must-see when visiting the Lake District.

    Theatre by the Lake

    Location:
    Nestled beside the shores of Derwentwater, Theatre by the Lake brings the magic of theatre to the Lake District. Book tickets to one of their many shows and allow these talented performers to capture your imagination for a couple of hours.

    Catbells

    Location:
    Despite not being the tallest fell in the Lake District, Catbells is one of the most popular for hikers due to its breath-taking, panoramic views of Keswick, Derwentwater and Borrowdale.

    Castlerigg Stone Circle

    Location:
    Thought to be one of the best megalithic monuments in England, Castlerigg Stone Circle is located on the outskirts of Keswick. Built around 3200, it is one of the UK’s first stone circles and is steeped in folklore.
