Lake District camp sites are available all over the National Park – it simply wouldn’t be the outdoor magnet that it is if camping wasn’t so incredibly popular. From small to large Lake District campsites, the choice is yours.
Camping sites
Wild camping is not permitted anywhere in the Lake District without prior permission from the landowner. As the National Park Authority we do not have the power to allow camping on private land and we do not permit camping on the small amount of land that we own. Camping in car parks or on roadside verges is not allowed at any time.
Wild camping
Lake District youth hostels and bunkhouses are a great way to holiday in the area on a tight budget. If you are looking for basic but friendly accommodation, a Lake District hostel could be an ideal option to consider.
