Went to castlerigg beginning not October, initially quite impressed with campsite.toilets, showers clean and lovely, we saw on one review it stated always watched by staff and lever left alone. We booked for 2 days camping in a tent, firstly the play area as you go in would be perfect for tents as a stunning view over lake but tent field was out the back no views as such and surrounded by trees , a real shame as if the owners switched positions sure would get more bookings. Second day we walked into Keswick and had a lovely day looking around shops few lovely meals and drinks ,we made a day of it as was last night and met another couple off the site. After a lovely day we walked back and through the campsite having had a few drinks we were probably noisier than we knew but we said night to other couple and went to our tent. Once inside we were knocked up by owners saying keep noise down? We are in our late ,40s not 18 so was totally disgusted by itself apologised and went to bed. In the morning we talked to neighbours tents apologising if we had made any noise, everyone said they heard nothing as not one person had heard anything and said omg after all we are all on holiday but nevertheless still said sorry. Shortly after the owners came to our tent again going over the same events we explained and felt it totally over the top to say it to us twice.we didn't feel comfortable on the site as staff was watching campers and tents and felt like we were at school not in holiday. We went to the restaurant and sat down with a menu first night we waited 15 mins before anybody actually asked us for a order,we just wanted something light but a young foreign waitress who talked broken English said only what is on menu is available, we asked for maybe just a jacket potato and drinks she replied no?
I will be honest would never go back and already told friends who were looking to go there don't bother, we stayed at another campsite we stayed at before for the rest of the week and was totally opposite later back yet clean and let people enjoy their holiday. If your under 65 and want a little fun and enjoy your holiday avoid at all cost......
