 This was our second visit and it won't be our last. The site is immaculate, well laid-out and a credit to John and Dawn. It is in a quiet backwater, but that's the attraction for us - Drive around Caldbeck Commons and drink in the beauty of the countryside! Get out of the car and walk and it gets better. Highly recommended for total relaxation and good access to the parts of Cumbria that the masses don't bother with.

What a little hidden gem of a site this is. Me and my wife have just returned from a 7 night stay and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Ok the showers and toilets aren't the best we've come across but they certainly aren't the worse. Small and compact but cosy and more than adequate.
We had a pitch overlooking the river and enjoyed sitting there watching the wildlife which included woodpeckers, nuthatches, finches etc. And even an otter !
John the warden goes about his daily upkeep and business without you knowing he is there most of the time but always has time to answer any questions or queries about anything or even if only a chat.
It's extremely quite and peaceful with lots of options to visit like Keswick, castlerigg stone circle, Penrith and historic carlisle which is more than worth a visit for heritage reasons and shopping too. All in all we both really enjoyed our stay and won't hesitate to visit this beautiful site again.
A big well done to John and his wife for this site. It's well worth going.
Well done !

We stayed here for a week at half term and had an amazing time. This is the second time we've been and it was as good as we remembered. We walked up nearby Blencathra, Carrock Fell and Bannerdale Crags. It snowed and blew a gale, but we really enjoyed it. The showers are lovely and warm, plenty of hot water, and we never had to queue. The owner has thoughtfully put a red light on the outside, so you can see from your pitch if they're engaged.
Tiny village with minor road, so no traffic noise as such. Beautiful scenery and lovely surrounding area. We drove into Keswick and had a really good chippy. We sat on a bench in the snow, (we have a dog, it's not all fun and games!), eating fish and chips, but somehow, it was delightful.
We will definitely return, a cracking site which is a credit to the owner. Not many shops nearby though so stock up well before you arrive.

We visit this site on a regular basis and find it to be outstanding. The site is very well maintained. The owners are both friendly and helpful in every respect. We also find the payment system (by envelope) very convenient. The shower and toilets are clean and tidy. All in all we think this site is a little gem.

We have just returned home after another wonderful peaceful stay at Riverside. The site just gets better and better, and is a credit to John & Dawn (the owners).
The facilities are always spotless and so practical. The unique Envelope Payment system is a real time saver when you arrive at the site, when all you want is to get set up and relax with a brew.
Unlike the previous reviewer, we don't mind getting out of the car to open the gate.
We have been visiting Riverside for over 10 years and love the area and its peaceful location in relation to the nearby villages and the Lake District.
We look forward to our next visit in June.

The campsite didn't quite live up to its glowing website description. The facilities were minimal - one shower and one toilet. Each housed in a tiny wooden garden shed, although heated, they were clearly difficult to keep clean. We were intrigued by the request to place our payment in the envelope provided and 'post' it in the on site box for the owner's attention - clearly no need to queue at a reception desk. Just as well as there wasn't one! Whilst we appreciate that a site should be gated for security; constant exit and entrance in and out of the car is tedious; automatic opening with a keypad or swipe card would be more user friendly. The site is beautifully situated next to the river, but its location in a tiny hamlet means there are no facilities nearby, therefore a car journey (or cycle ride) is necessary to the nearest village (Hesket Newmarket) for the shop and pub. Whilst it is in the Lake District National Park, being just on the North Eastern perimeter and a 25 min drive to Keswick, it is not very central for exploring the whole area. However, the countryside all around is beautiful and deserves exploring for its own unique qualities. Caldbeck, in particular, is a delightful village with many walks around it to explore.
Would we return? No

The site is really well run, clean and everything we expected. Very quiet and peaceful - as long as you don't mind sheep bleeting, birds singing and the river flowing over stones, just wonderful!
Lots of things had been thought of to help especially for those of us with motorhomes, like tubes to help when emptying your waste tank.
Information provided both on line and at the site is extremely helpful.
Don't be put off by the toilet and shower in wooden 'garden sheds'. They are heated and very clean with plenty of room and information/books and leaflets to read while doing 'other things!'
Each pitch was large and privately divided with conifers in between.
Highly recommended and we hope to be back soon.

Nice site and most of the reviews have covered the sites shower and toilet sheds. The red light system is handy knowing when the facilities are in use.
Overall a peaceful site, didn't see much of the promoted wildlife however, there is nothing in Millhouse village and any local pubs are a car drive away, this fact took the edge of the site for me. The site is well north of the northern fells and a good drive to get to Keswick or Buttermere side.
Would I stay again? No, peaceful site, nothing to do locally and a touch too far from the fells, other than that all good.

This small site has 2 parts - 5 spaces for CC members and 9 spaces for anyone. It's a cracking little site easy to get to (just be careful - sharp bend and building on corner after you turn off to the access road. ) The toilets and showers are in little sheds but plenty of room and as it's a small site not often full.
Just one word of warning whilst showering - don't turn off the water to soap down as you will get scolded when you turn on again.
We have been to this site several times and will use it again.
There is a pub down the road about 5 minutes drive - micro brewery and another a few minutes further on.

First time at the site and stayed a week with friends in their own unit on the Millrace side. The site is everything that everyone else has said about it and is lovely. We were looking forward to seeing the toilet and showers and these were what we expected from the reviews clean, fit for purpose and Quaint. Both the shower and toilet were fitted with a red light that showed they were in use which was a clever idea to save standing outside. Drinking water, chemical toilet disposal, motor home empty point and waste water are all in the same location in front of the toilet and showers along with the rubbish and recycling bins which are clearly marked. No matter which pitch you chose you were no further away than 50 yards from these.
We met the owner on the first day and saw him every day going about his business of up keeping the site and cleaning the facilities, other than that we were left alone but knew he was there if we needed him.
The dog walk on site is well lit at night and is perfect for first thing and late night doggy business. There is a public footpath leading away from the site in 2 directions split by a road so no one walks or wanders onto or through the site and is better for longer dog walks or walking throughout the day and early evening. The path goes for miles in both directions towards Hesket New Market and Mosedale. For Fell walking and the lakes its a great base to set out with the nearest fell being 10 minutes drive away.
Nearest supermarket is Penrith about 15 mins drive away and nearest shop is in Hesket New market 1 3/4 mile away the post office. There is a pub in Hesket called the Crown that does its own real Ale and food and another pub just up the road in calbeck 1. 5 miles away from Hesket called the oddfellows arms which did nice food and beer, one of the biggest sunday lunches I've seen with the thickest slices of beef ever.
The site WiFi is less than 1 meg so is adequate for emails and browsing but not streaming media etc and we couldn't get a mobile signal on 3 networks without walking away from Millhouse for some some distance, this was actually not too bad because we got less interruptions, there is a public phone box at the village hall just round the corner from the site. Digital TV signal is 100%
We liked the site and the area and will visit again for longer if possible next time.
