Thirlspot Farm Camping

Thirlspot Farm Camping is a small, seasonal campsite situated on the A591 midway between Keswick and Grasmere in the Lake District, close to Helvellyn Gill. It caters exclusively for campervans and motorhomes, and sits adjacent to the King's Head Hotel.

The site is well placed for tackling several major Lakeland fells, including Helvellyn — accessible directly from the campsite via western approaches — as well as Skiddaw and Blencathra. It is also a practical base for cycling routes in the area.

Being close to a main road means some traffic noise, but the location makes it a convenient and calm retreat for those focused on hiking and fell walking.
