Borrowdale Caravan and Motorhome Club Site

Alan Rogers Review of Borrowdale Caravan and Motorhome Club Site

Borrowdale Caravan and Motorhome Club site is a delight to the eye with the lovely fells soaring up and wild flowers in bloom everywhere. Located about 5 miles from Keswick and set in National Trust woodland, the site offers numerous walking paths to explore the beautiful northern Lakes area. It doesn't have to be strenuous - forest trails, nature trails, guided walks and farm walks leave you spoilt for choice. There is a convenient bus service that runs from the site. The site has 59 hardstanding pitches all with 16 amp electricity.

If the Lakes themselves are the main attraction on your holiday break, Borrowdale Motorhome & Caravan Club site puts you within easy reach of Derwentwater, popular for its boats and vibrant marina, not to mention its range of pubs and restaurants. Bassenthwaite Water is also a short distance away from the site and merits exploration for its Sailing Club. If more tranquil surroundings are what you're after, the charming waters of Buttermere and Crummock Water would be just the ticket. The lovely local scenery also includes the dramatic hills of Castle Crag and Cats Bells. The hamlet of Grange, with a tea shop on the picturesque banks of the river is only a short walk away and local pubs & restaurants are within easy reach of the site.
