Fellview Camping

The crunch of gravel beneath boots and the distant bleating of Cumbrian sheep set the scene at this aptly named site, where the Lake District fells form a dramatic backdrop that shifts with every change of light. Morning mist clings to the hillsides before burning off to reveal the full majesty of the surrounding peaks.

This straightforward site suits campers and caravanners after an unpretentious base for fell-walking adventures in Cumbria's magnificent landscape. The North West's most dramatic terrain lies on your doorstep, with valleys and ridges beckoning hikers of all abilities to pull on their boots and explore the region's network of paths and bridleways.

Facilities are pleasingly simple: clean toilets and hot showers provide the essentials after a day on the hills. Tent pitches accommodate canvas enthusiasts, whilst hardstanding and grass areas welcome campervans and caravans. The campfire policy requires checking on arrival, so ask at reception if you're planning an evening under the stars. The overall atmosphere is unfussy and outdoorsy—a proper camping experience where the landscape does the talking.
