Quiet gravel, narrow access
CA12 5TS, Keswick
Been here?
A gravel parking area with space for several vans, although it is not entirely flat and may require ramps or manoeuvring. The narrow access road can be difficult when meeting other vehicles and may be restricted to 2.0m width. It is usually very quiet at night, with no traffic between 2200&0730, but can become busy at other times. The area may be muddy or swampy after rain, and reception is weak or absent.

Not flat at all, but some places you can level out with ramps. Muddy and swampy if it rains. Access road is narrow and should be restricted to 2.0m width. Maybe due to the season but the road is also incredibly busy and not many people seem to know how to remember their last passing point, so be prepared to reverse a long while. 2.5 miles of undulating road, I faced over 20 oncoming vehicles
Large gravel area for several vans. Not entirely flat, and it took some maneuvering to find a level spot. Very quiet at night, with no traffic between 10 p.m. and 7:30 a.m., and very little before or after. A pleasant stream provides the soundtrack. Disappointingly, there was used toilet paper in the nearby bushes.
Perfect for an overnight stay and as a starting point for a hiking trail.
Plenty of space for a good few vans, quite a tight road to get to it and difficult if you meet any other vehicles on the way. Nice quiet spot out of the way though and very clean. Absolutely no signal there but that's ok! We stayed in a LWB sprinter with another two vans
