Knoble Knott située dans les bois en face de l'aire de repos principale donnant sur le lac Bassenthwaite est un bon petit site.

Knoble Knott situated in the woods opposite the main layby overlooking Bassenthwaite lake is a good little overnight site.

Knoble Knott liegt im Wald gegenüber der Hauptruhezone mit Blick auf den Lake Bassenthwaite und ist ein guter kleiner Ort.

    Lovely flat car park that’s free and with nice woodland walks. Car park is locked overnight and you’re not supposed to stay over

    One of my favourite spots in the lakes so far. Very flat, great location and at night you can see the lights of Keswick through the trees. Not saying that I stayed the night.. of course but it would be a very nice place to stay. The gates weren’t locked as of feb 23 2022. Quite weak signal with Vodafone

    Really nice flat spot a few metres from the road. Picnic bench, grass and views through the trees.

    Nice spot. good 4g signal if you point antenna towards the lake. Bin and bench.

    Stayed in January so a little muddy (as to be expected) but awesome views and very little road noise as car park is up off the road (which isn’t very busy anyway). Few dog walkers in the morning but good for me as was able to exercise my own.

    Parked in the wooded area, 4 vans including ours!

    Très bon spot. Dommage que les camping-caristes avec qui nous avons partagé le lieu nous aient volé notre dalle en bois qui nous permet de prendre la douche en extérieur avant de partir. Dalle qui coûte 4€ et qui se trouve dans n’importe quel magasin de terrassement. Pauvre mentalité

    Brilliant spot in the lakes, very peaceful night spent just off the road. Only a few dog walkers early the next morning. Had a great little hike on the trail into the forest too.

    I stayed in the layby and needed levelling blocks. One of the best views to wake up to in the Lake District. Other camper vans were in the wooded car park. No signs restricting overnight camping just a stone wall along the edge of layby with a bin at the end.

    Great spot. quiet and lovely views. 7 mins drive from whinlatter forest park. I parked in the wooded area not the layby

    Please note - a local just advised me that wardens do come and ticket the overnighters even though there are no signs to say you can’t so the wooded car park the other side of the road is best.

    Wonderful find. If you’ve got levelling blocks stay in the lay-by because the view is stunning.

    Arrived really late and night so couldn’t see anything - woke up to an incredible view. Quiet sleep, beautiful site

    Fantastic site, very quiet and peaceful.

  • 5/5

    Best near Keswick by far

  • 5/5

    Great spot just into the forest. Joined by another camper but quiet spot and great nights sleep! (Lay-by is on a slope).

    Fabulous spot either in the woodland car park or in the lay by, plenty of room. Watch for cyclists on the way up and down the road, it's on the coast to coast route.

    Très bel endroit au calme. Quelques promeneurs le matin
