Great Langdale Campsite
Great Langdale Campsite
Operated by the National Trust, Great Langdale Campsite sits in the heart of the Lake District in Cumbria, looking directly up at the iconic Langdale Pikes.
Widely regarded as one of the finest-situated campsites in England, it is encircled by some of the region's most celebrated walking and climbing terrain, with trails looping directly from the site to suit everyone from families on gentle valley walks to experienced climbers tackling the fells.
The campsite accommodates tents, campervans, and pods, with cars parked separately from the camping fields. There is no electric hook-up. Visitors should be aware that the site is prone to flooding during heavy rain, and the valley is notably dark at night.
National Trust rangers are active throughout the valley, maintaining sustainable footpaths and balancing the demands of access, agriculture, and conservation across the landscape.
