From fully stocked campsites near lakes, to hidden gems you’ll want to return to time and time again, camping in the Lake District, Cumbria, has never been more popular - or more convenient!
When it comes to picking somewhere to pitch your tent, the choice of campsites is extensive. There are small sites in quiet valleys with just the essentials, to more luxurious options with shops, activities and pubs on site - perfect for those who want the camping experience while retaining their everyday comforts!
We’ve also got camping barns: converted farm buildings with their own unique character, sleeping up to 20 people - the perfect choice for groups of friends! Many can be found on working farms, so you might even wake up to a breakfast of local produce sourced from right outside your door.
It’s important to note that it isn’t always possible to book a camping pitch online. Try searching below without a date and then contact the site directly for real time availability. Our advice? Sites do get busy, so always make sure you have booked your pitch before you travel!
