In total, there are no less than nine safari tents in their own sheltered area of the campsite. Each has two bedrooms furnished with proper beds (each tent can sleep 4 adults or a family of 6), a living area that extends outside to a pleasant terrace, and a kitchenette fitted out with everything you need – hob, microwave, fridge, pots and pans, crockery and cutlery.
Once you've settled in, you can get out and explore the surroundings – Keswick, with its shops, restaurants and other attractions is a perfect place to stock up on supplies before heading up the nearby hulk of Skiddaw – a 3,054ft summit (the sixth highest in England) that dominates the skyline here, and is accessible by way of a beautiful and surprisingly easy trail.
There are equally pleasant walks to be done around Derwentwater's shores, but you could just as easily stay put and contemplate life in the site itself, an easy choice once that all-pervading sense of relaxation takes hold.
