Beckses is well placed to offer a quiet stay and touring caravan base, yet offering simple access to the popular local tourist attractions. There is a public bus route within 200m of the site, which runs to West Cumbria via Keswick through the summer. We offer touring caravan pitches, all with electric hook ups. Static caravan hire, and a camping field for tents.

Just had a wonderful weekend at Beckses. It was a late decision to travel but one call to Beckses and I was booked. The place is spotlessly clean. The staff where very helpful and friendly. A great spot just off A66 but can hear traffic buy once in my caravan it was fine. Would definitely recommend.

This is a nicely maintained small site. Facilities are clean and tidy. Unfortunately our stay was marred by a group of noisy families, who let their kids scream and run around the place uncontrolled while they sat around drinking alcohol. This included ball games around our caravan, and running across our pitch, between our car and hitch. The kids could have hurt themselves. The site owners offered a pitch move, but we'd already put the awning up, and we were only there for 3 days anyway. I feel the parents should have been more forcefully told to address the situation, particularly as other people had complained.

We stayed overnight in the camping pods, which were cosy clean and comfortable. The shower and toilet facilities were extremely clean and showers were hot. Owner was friendly and helpful. Location is excellent just off the A66 and within 20 minutes drive to Keswick and Ullswater. Price was competitive and well worth the money.

Arriving on Tuesday afternoon , we settled in on our new pitch,made a cuppa and then went into Penrith for a couple of food items,then back to the caravan for the rest of the afternoon. Wednesday morning in the Van , to Ullswater for a boat trip on one of the steamers which was pleasant and interesting, although being sunny it was a little windy.We had made a couple of sandwiches to have after the boat trip, sitting outside on a park bench watching the small sailing craft , canoes and wet boards all enjoying the fabulous weather that we were having.There are many many outdoor activity centre's around this area and along others. Well Thursday we went into Keswick,had a good look around the little town bought some little pressie's for our friends,had a coffee in again one of many coffee establishments,found the brewery,BUT be aware it's open only from 2pm 5x a week. We then drove to Windemere and upon getting there found a lack o parking,we turned around coming back to The Kings Inn, Grasmere for a bite of luncheon. After having been fed and watered we travelled back to the Van. Friday we have to travel homeward but never mind,Well done to the Lake District for making our stay so welcoming, pleasant and with cracking weather i think that we'll try to come back soon.…

Stayed here while the 2021 Keswick Mountain Festival was on. Easy access to the site (just off the M6/A66) and within 20 minutes of Keswick and Matterdale/Ullswater. The site was nice and quiet when we were there and the facilities were lovely and clean. Can't wait to go back again this later this year.

Lovely little site. Very quiet which we prefer. Perfect base for exploring the lakes. Facilities are spotless although the showers aren't very powerful but that's just being picky. There's a little park onsite which my 2 year old son loved! Spoke to a regular who was our neighbour who told me he had be coming to this site for 17 years! So that it always a good sign. This is perfect for couples who enjoy the quiet camping life or those with young children. There is much much for older kids though We stayed in our campervan, but there a camping pods and statics also on site. There is a village a mile up the road that has a pub. We never tried the pub but it is walkable from the site as there is a sturdy grass verge all the way up to the village. Definitely will be returning. …

This was our first visit to Beckses Caravan Park but it certainly won't be our last. We stayed in our touring caravan for 13 nights and really enjoyed our stay. The site has a very relaxed, friendly and chilled environment with spotlessly clean facilities, maintained by the friendly owners and staff. We really liked the smaller feel to the site and the high standards maintained. The showers always had plentiful hot water as did the dishwashing facilities. The facilities all had sensibly positioned sanitising stations and anti-bac wipes always available, very well thought out. We will definitely be back to this charming, lovely well run site. A real credit to the owners and all of the team at Beckses.

Both myself and my wife spent a very pleasant 7 days camping at this family run site. The onsite facilities were very clean and tidy. The location itself was very quiet and perfectly situated for travelling around the North Lakes. The owners (Teasdale's) were the perfect hosts. We will definitely be back in the future.
