The morning light filters through the towering pines that shelter this peaceful site, while the distant rumble of Derwentwater's waterfalls carries on the breeze from nearby Borrowdale. Braithwaite Fold sits in classic Lake District territory, surrounded by the dramatic fells that make Cumbria a magnet for walkers and outdoor enthusiasts year-round.

This no-frills Caravan Club Site welcomes tents, campervans and caravans, making it ideal for those who prioritize location over luxury. You're perfectly positioned for tackling Skiddaw to the north or exploring the scenic valleys radiating from Keswick, the vibrant market town just a short distance away. The year-round opening means you can experience the Lakes in every season, from autumn's golden woodland walks to crisp winter mornings with frost-tipped peaks.

Onsite facilities keep things simple with toilets and showers – everything you need after a day on the fells. The tree-lined pitches create a secluded, woodland atmosphere that feels a world away from busier tourist sites. Check about campfire policies when you arrive, as this can vary. The vibe here is unpretentious and outdoorsy, attracting those who come for the mountains rather than the amenities.
