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:
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
9. Burns Farm
Set in the picturesque spot of St Johns-in-the-Vale, not far from Keswick, Burns Farm is one of the oldest working farm campsites in the Lake District. It is almost 90 years old, having been bought by Arthur Lamb in 1936. It is now managed by the 3rd and 4th generation of the Lamb Family. | Burns Farm
10. Fisherground Campsite
The site manages to keep the proper-camping feel while offering activities for families, with an impressive play area, zip wire and mini bouldering wall. | Fisherground Campsite
11. Wasdale National Trust Campsite
It's in a great spot and, again, offers a good balance of comfortable facilities with a respectful, true camping experience. Wasdale is a bit more of a trek to get to, but worth the journey, and is a popular destination for those wishing to climb England's highest peak of Scafell Pike. | Pixabay
12. Trafford Caravan Park
Set in the scenic village of Bassenthwaite in the shadow of Skiddaw, and not far from Keswick. Don't be fooled by the name, the site does also accommodate tents, and offers plenty of space and some great views. | Trafford Caravan Park
