A CAMPING and caravanning site in the Lake District is now 'fully operational' after being submerged by water over the Bank Holiday weekend. 

Keswick campsite and caravan park, next to the shores of Derwentwater, closed for business on Friday (August 23) following flooding in the aftermath of Storm Lilian, forcing holidaymakers to look elsewhere.

This was the only flood warning in England at the time, with images and footage of the water-logged site making rounds on social media.

A Camping and Caravanning Club spokesperson, who run the site, said: "Our Keswick Club Site is now fully operational following the recent flooding.

“We work closely with the local Environmental Agency to monitor flood warnings and alerts.

"Our site has a robust emergency plan in place to handle such events, ensuring the safety of our campers and on-site team.

“We apologise for any inconvenience caused during the bank holiday weekend and thank our campers for their understanding and patience."

The storm itself brought with it brought 70mph winds to the north west of England. 

However, despite the site's reopening, a flood warning for the Keswick Campsite remains active on the Gov.uk website as of August 29.

The warning states that while river and lake levels in the area are declining with more dry weather expected, low-lying land bordering the shores of Derwent Water and the Keswick Camping and Caravan Club Site may still be affected.

"It is expected that this Flood Warning will remain in force into the weekend," the website reads. 

The public is advised to avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water.

Flood alerts continue for Rivers Brathay, Rothay and Winster, Upper River Derwent, Stonethwaite Beck and Derwent Water.

However, warnings for Rivers Cocker, Marron and Derwent have been lifted.

Storm Lilian’s heavy rain also resulted in the cancellation of the Keswick Agricultural Show on Monday, August 26, due to a waterlogged car parking field.

Those hoping to visit Buttermere over Newlands Pass were also warned to stay away by a local mountain rescue team, following a landslide. 

The storm's wrath also caused scaffolding from the partially collapsed Old Courthouse in Cockermouth to tumble into the River Cocker.

The Environment Agency is currently seeking solutions to remove the scaffolding.
