An all-age family and youth orientated ‘pop-up’ camp site located in farmers’ fields on the edge of Keswick. The site is provided for the 3 weeks of the convention only and is self-catering.
It can accommodate tents, caravans and some small camper vans.
Amenities include toilets, showers, water points, phone charging, refuse, recycling and waste disposal.
The Convention is held on the former Pencil Factory Site and the adjoining Rawnsley Site; both are just a short walk into town from the camp. A friendly campsite with many return campers. Bookings start in mid February.
Springs Camp is running again this year and we’ve changed into a self-catering camp – sorry, no more yummy meals cooked for you! So now there are two ‘pop-up’ Christian camps, both run by volunteers and provided just for the three weeks of Keswick Convention. Springs Camp has been running since 1930 and has been on the same site at Springs Farm since 1953. We’re a little further away from the Pencil Factory than Crosthwaite Camp but our main advantage this year is that we have spaces in all three weeks! The walk takes you through the town centre and past the cinema, lots of interesting shops and the market on a Thursday.
We provide toilets, showers, hot & cold water, phone charging, refuse points and waste disposal. We have a marquee with picnic benches and you’re welcome to join others to eat there or use it as a communal space. We welcome tents, camper vans and caravans and all ages from 0-100. We love to welcome old and new friends. Find out about us at springscamp.org.uk or on Facebook.
