The scent of damp bracken and the distant bleating of Herdwick sheep — this is proper Lake District camping, where the fells rise close and the air tastes of rain and freedom.
Lakeland Outdoor Club welcomes both tent campers and campervans, and the vibe is more club-meet than commercial campsite — think outdoor enthusiasts gathering before a day on the ridges or a weekend of wild swimming. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth checking ahead if you're bringing a four-legged hiking companion. The location puts you firmly in Lakeland walking country, where Wainwright's fells and hidden tarns are the main attraction.
Facilities aren't heavily advertised, so it's wise to come prepared for a simpler setup — this isn't a bells-and-whistles kind of place. Campfires may be allowed depending on conditions, so ask when you arrive. It's quiet, unpretentious, and aimed squarely at people who want to spend their days outside and their evenings under canvas, swapping stories about the day's scramble.
