Keswick Mountain Festival in a van
Crow Park, Keswick, Cumbria. Trail runs, swims, sportives and hikes by day, live music by Derwentwater in the evening. The festival village is at Crow Park, a short walk from the town centre.
Friday to Sunday.
What the organiser says about vans
- The 2027 dates and race entries are published on the festival's entry site. [1]
- We have not confirmed the 2027 camping or campervan arrangements — they were not on the page we read. Check the festival's own site before you book anything else around it.
- Late May is already busy in Keswick, and festival weekend more so. Read the board in any car park before assuming you can stay the night.
Numbered points come from the sources listed below. Points without a number are our own advice, not the organiser's.
Our plain advice
If you are racing early on Saturday or Sunday, where you sleep matters more than usual. Book a pitch within walking or cycling distance well ahead — Keswick's sites fill for this weekend.

The rules round here
England: no right to sleep on access land, and honeypot car parks are heavily managed — but the pub and farm network here is one of the best in Britain. More on The Lake District →
