About Newlands Valley Campsite
Tucked into the Newlands Valley with Derwentwater just half a kilometre away, this pop-up family-run site is a no-frills base camp for fell-walkers, mountain bikers and anyone keen to dive into Lake District adventures. You're 10 minutes' drive from Keswick and close to Whinlatter Forest's mountain-biking trails, while a local activity centre offers climbing, archery and kayaking within five minutes. The nearest fell rises temptingly close for challenging hikes, and campfires are allowed to warm you after a day's exertions.
Facilities are simple – showers, toilets, washing-up area – which suits the site's wild, back-to-basics feel. Some visitors note it can feel a touch basic if you're after more comfort, but that's the trade-off for spectacular scenery and a peaceful, remote location. A cosy pub with a beer garden sits 10 minutes' walk uphill, perfect for refuelling with homecooked food before returning to your pitch under the stars.

What visitors say
Wow! We absolutely loved our stay at Newlands Valley Campsite. The atmosphere was very welcoming and friendly. Facilities were great, hot, clean showers! I get nervous about showering at different campsites, but I had nothing to worry about. Toilets were cleaned regularly and even provided complimentary women’s sanitary products!!!! Washing up facilities were great, not much queuing at all, even though we were there at peak time on a bank holiday! There were lovely hikes up the various hills, through the valleys and the pub was a short 10 minute walk away. Thank you for having us! We can’t wait to come back👏

Absolutely fantastic campsite! The lady that runs it was super accommodating when we were adding people last minute. Beautiful location and easy to access supermarkets as they’re only a short drive from Keswick. Also some absolutely beautiful hiking trails that were a lot of fun and challenging. Would absolutely come back!

Amazing. As far as ‘basic’ campsites go - this one is amazing! Very large field with plenty of space for everyone, clean and well stocked toilets (including tampons and sanitary towels!) clean and hot showers, fire pits and logs available on site and very lovely owners. Had a great time and will recommend. Thank you
