And despite the soggy summer, it will still be a popular choice for families, friends and solo travellers this summer - whether it’s for a relaxing break, fun action-packed holiday, or a more adventurous, energetic expedition.
The Lake District is a popular destination for campers and caravans from Lancashire due to it being in easy reach yet offering stunning scenery, lots of activities, and great places to eat, drink and relax.
In no particular order, here are 17 of the best campsites in the Lake District to try:
5. Seatoller Farm
Also in Borrowdale, Seatoller Farm proudly proclaims itself as a back-to-basics site with no WiFi or phone signal so you can 'switch off and embrace the wild feel'. However, running slightly contrary to this ethos, the site is visited by a stone-baked pizza van at weekends, offering toppings including Herdwick lamb. The site also allows campfires, which is more of a rarity these days. | Seatoller Farm
6. Castlerigg Farm
Famed for its impressive stone circle, Castlerigg has long been a popular destination for visitors, and the area boasts two popular campsites sitting over the road from each other. Castlerigg Farm is the more back-to-basics site for campers and caravans, but still has great facilities, and even offers WiFi. | Castlerigg Farm
7. Castlerigg Hall
Castlerigg Hall is perhaps the more plush site of the two neighbours, with a 'campers' kitchen' and 'campers' lounge' a popular selling point. | Castlerigg Hall
8. Great Langdale National Trust Campsite
The National Trust operates a number of campsites on its land in the Lake District. It's in a great, classic spot in the Lakes, and strikes a balance of good facilities and comfort, with a proper camping feel. | Great Langdale National Trust Campsite
