Syke Farm Campsite

Syke Farm Campsite is a family-run working farm campsite situated in the village of Buttermere in the Lake District, adjacent to Keswick, Cockermouth, and Borrowdale.

The site accommodates up to 50 tents and offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and lakes, with easy access to the picturesque walks of Buttermere.

The car park is separate from the camping area, and guests cross a small wooden bridge to reach their pitch. In addition to tent camping, the site offers glamping options including a shepherd's hut and yurts.

The campsite is dog-friendly, with dogs required to be kept on leads while on site. The facility has evolved over roughly 40 years from a basic backpacker's field into a well-established destination, while maintaining a laid-back, relaxed atmosphere.
