Castlerigg Farm

Castlerigg Farm Camping and Caravan Site sits in an elevated, rural setting near Keswick in the Lake District, and claims to be the highest camping and caravan site in the area.

Its position delivers sweeping panoramic views over surrounding mountains and neighbouring bodies of water including Derwent Water and Bassenthwaite Lake, while remaining just five minutes by car from Keswick town centre.

The site accommodates tents, caravans, and motorhomes on a mix of grass and hard-standing pitches, many with electric hook-ups. Facilities include a shower and toilet block, guest laundry, campers' day room, on-site shop, and the Hayloft Cafe Bar and Bistro.

A dedicated dog-walk area and doggie shower cater to pet owners. The site enforces a quiet rule between 10:30 pm and 7:00 am, and a hourly bus service along the Keswick–Ambleside road passes the site entrance.
