The Quiet Site looks lovely - we walked past it on the way up "Little Mell Fell" - wouldn't want to attempt it in winter though - at Christmas the roads down at Ullswater level were totally clear but just going up a few hundred feet they were covered in ice - our van would not have got up there.
Where you walking?
will be a nice walk, not thought of stealth camping it? There’s loads of nooks and crannies around there for one night
Never stayed there mate but walked around there plenty
Notice you from Manchester mate you coming to the northwest meet on Tuesday?It's the first trip out in the van so just want to get a grip of what's what - kipping on airbeds and nothing other than my trusty jetboil 2 for hot water etc
I do fancy stealth camping but keen to get used to stuff and work out what bed solution to go with - longer term I want to build a bunk bed for adults as a double with my walking partner not ideal
Here fella Northwest Meet
(only joking)
Kingfisher the best of the two, slightly out of town but better prices and certainly quality.
Weve just spent a week up there, stayed at castlerigg farm. Plenty to do in keswick, great walks/pubs etc... we always go in square orange when were in keswick, also highly recommend "the crafty baa" massive selection of ales/beers etc..
I’ve stayed here a couple of times too. Basic site but very well located for a number of the Lakes peaks inc ScaFell Pike. There’s a cracking pub that serves food just round the corner, The Langstrath Country Inn. Check if the campsite is open though, I looked at a trip there in Aug and they weren’t open due to Covid, neither was Stonethwaite Farm campsite which was other option - I went to Snowdonia insteadI can recommend Chapel House Farm Campsite Stayed here loads of times, and perfect for your planned walk. £6 pppn so very cheap. Basic site but clean loos and shower. Have fun
