About Troutbeck Head Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsite
Tucked beneath Great Mell Fell at the northern edge of the Lake District, Troutbeck Head offers well-maintained hardstanding pitches with electric and fully-serviced options, all set against a backdrop of Cumbrian fells. The site wins consistent praise for spotless, modern facilities – spotless showers, gleaming washing-up areas – and a peaceful atmosphere that feels genuinely away from it all, yet it's mercifully easy to reach via A roads rather than narrow lanes.
Run by the Caravan and Motorhome Club, membership unlocks discounted rates (though non-members are welcome at a small premium), and perks extend beyond the pitch: there's a games room, play area, dog park, and family-friendly touches like a parent-and-baby washroom. Ullswater is a ten-minute drive for watersports and lakeshore strolls, while walkers can strike out onto fells and trails straight from the doorstep.
Staff earn particular mention for helpfulness, and guests regularly highlight the excellent value – though as with many Club sites, facilities can feel a touch functional rather than characterful if you're after boutique charm.

What visitors say
Fantastic site. We arrived just before 7pm on Thursday, literally 6:54 I think, I apologised to the guy at reception, he wasn't bothered about us turning up at nearly his clocking off time and couldn't have been anymore helpful 😀 Took his time checking us in, explaining the site layout, offered us a pitch and said when people leave in the morning we can move if we want. Definitely a gentleman and a credit to the site. We lowered the jockey wheel, unhooked the caravan and checked for level and we were bang on level front n back, left n right! Never had a flatter pitch anywhere! Two toilet blocks that were spotless. Proper showers, not a push button, plenty of hot water, washing up facilities were excellent. Very quiet at night even with families present. Great location, so easy to get to from the A66. Highly recommended. We got one free night due to a club offer, but we'll definitely be back again. And, a massive Thank You to the fine fellow on Thursday night who signed us in. 😀

Fantastic campsite. Well maintained and clean facilities. Well kept pitches (nice and flat and free from weeds), walking area for the dogs (not a field to let them run, though). Near to the lakes and local beauty spots. Well worth a short or longer stay.

Great site and views a little isolated so had to use the car every day. 2 great improvements now have a bus stop 509 entrance to site and the activity center next door has a nice bar friday and saturday evenings.
