Gill Head Farm

Gill Head Farm is a family-run working hill farm in the village of Troutbeck, Cumbria, sitting within the Lake District National Park with panoramic views of Blencathra and the northern fells.

The campsite accommodates tents, caravans, campervans, and motorhomes, and also offers insulated timber camping pods. The site is pet-friendly and popular with walkers, school groups, and Duke of Edinburgh participants.

Facilities include a modern shower, toilet, and laundry block, a communal log cabin with a TV lounge, undercover seating, and a children's play area. Fields and streams are accessible on site.

Lake Ullswater is around five miles away, and the market town of Keswick is also within easy reach, making the farm a practical base for hiking, cycling, and water-based activities across the northern Lakes.
