Newlands Valley Campsite

Syntes om: Views, friendly & helpful people running the site, quiet a well managed campsite. Showers okay (depending on the time of day you used them, when my 16YO daughter went later in the day she said it was full of bugs.)

Syntes ikke om: Toilets are portaloo toilets (albeit fancy ones) which were okay night one but the second night I think the solution was changed and the smell was so bad that it was hard breathe in.

Syntes om: Great campsite in a perfect location! Phone signal which was a massive plus for my teenager! Lovely, clean river runs along left side of field as you enter. Good base for a hike up cat bells or 20 min walk down to the lake. Clean, modern toilets and the shower block looked good although we didn't use. Dogs and campfires allowed; hire there or bring your own. The pub at the top of the lane isn't open until July so we will definitely be back then as it looks like a lovely place! Great stay and would definitely recommend!

Syntes om: Owners friendly and accommodating. Location is really good.

Syntes ikke om: Facilities are really poor and not what you would expect reading the other reviews. The site must have had over 300 people over the bank holiday weekend all sharing a trailer shower block and toilet block consisting of 4 showers and 6 toilet cubicles. There was a constant queue for the facilities. The showers were full of midges, trays were 2” deep in water, changing area in showers was holding water as the trailer is installed in an angle, no where to put you clean items without them getting wet/ dirty from the standing water on the floor. Toilets were disgusting and smelt horrendous, used better portaloos at a festival and on construction sites. The amount of times my daughter went to the toilets and they were nearly overflowing due to blockages is unacceptable. Only one sink for washing up onsite and other campers seem to think it’s ok to leave all discarded food lying in the sink so it doesn’t drain, this is the only point on the site where you can get potable water too so you queue for this and then have to put your container in a disgusting sink to fill it. Not enough waste disposal facilities onsite either, one skip provided was full and had rubbish over flowing, no where to discard ash or burnt logs so these were being tipped all over the site. Had some heavy rain and by the end of Monday the field looked like a churned up race track. It’s a real shame as with some more investment in facilities, a regular cleaner over busy periods and a noise policy so music and car engines are not being revved at 2am and 6am this could be a great site as the location is superb and the views surrounding are fantastic. Unfortunately I will not be returning.

Syntes om: Fabulous location, friendly owners, great access to Cat Bells and a short drive to Keswick and Derwent water for lovely walks and access to the lake. The river near by was great for paddling and a relaxing way to spend the evening. The campsite is picturesque!

Syntes ikke om: Toilets/showers/washing facilities were unpleasant and not sufficient for the number of people on site Late night noise/music till 1pm+ made it difficult to relax and get the children to sleep. Police visits on site, perhaps this was for our safety but it was a little unusual and unexpected.
