Chapel House Farm Campsite sits in the heart of Borrowdale, in the Lake District National Park, where the Stonethwaite and Derwent Valleys meet.

The campsite is a single open field on a working hill farm, offering unobstructed views of the surrounding fells, including Great Gable.

By design, it keeps things simple — no electric hookups, no modern conveniences — making it an authentically rugged camping experience. The valley is well suited to both energetic fell-walkers and those who prefer easy riverside and lakeside strolling.

Nearby Stonethwaite Beck and the dramatic gorge at Black Moss Pot in Langstrath are popular with families on warm days. The campsite operates seasonally, generally opening in March and closing around the start of October, with fees paid in cash on arrival.
