Derwentwater Camping and Caravanning Club Site

£64 for one night, 2 adults and one dog. Haha, they must be sniffing glue.✦Translating

Great location and all the bells and whistles that you would expect of a C&CC site. We have used it for years, firstly with our caravan and lately with our new motorhome. Yes it’s more expensive than some other sites but definitely worth the premium. If you don’t like the restrictions and rules of a club site then you are definitely better off going somewhere else.

Conveniently located in Keswick. Sanitary facilities are outdated. Very expensive.

I checked on this app to see where I could possibly get water. (I’m camping off grid). The guy at reception wouldn’t allow me any water. He was polite enough but denied a fellow camper a basic necessity. Not really a nice bloke at all. I even offered to pay.

One of the best sites in the country, with the friendliest staff anyone could wish for. Yes, there are Camping Club rules that make it a great stay for us. We have been several times and each time the site and facilities are spotless, and the staff will do what they can to help. This was our third visit and we have never had a problem.

We arrived there around 3 p.m. on a Monday in April. There was no space without a reservation. We asked whether we could just empty our tanks, black and grey water, even for payment. Not possible, we were told; this is reserved for members. Yet the entrance says “open to non-members.” Nothing doing. In short, an unfriendly welcome.✦Translating
