Camping & Caravanning
Camping and Caravanning in The Lake District National Park have become more popular recently with many sites upgrading their facilities to meet the higher demands of the modern outdoor enthusiast. The majority of sites allow motorhomes, caravans, and tents.
For those who prefer their food alfresco, their days in the open air (weather permitting ... this is the Lake District), and enjoy the social aspects of campsites, there is a huge variety to choose from.
From fields at the back of pubs to Caravan Club run sites, and everything in between, you'll find something to suit your requirements and budgets.
If you've never spent time on a campsite before, be aware that facilities vary greatly between sites, and that you are likely to experience a little unwanted noise from other users, whether late at night, or early in the morning. The strictness with which noise restriction "policing" occurs can also vary greatly, from fanatical insistance on the rules being followed to zero monitoring. Most Lake District and Cumbria campsite owners have enough experience to tread a diplomatic line, allowing reasonable social activity to take place, provided that the enjoyment of other guests is not unduly compromised.
We've stayed at a number of the sites, more than once, so we'll highlight what you can expect during your stay.
