Operated by the National Trust, Wasdale Head Campsite sits at the northern end of Wastwater in the Lake District, nestled beside Mosedale Beck amid some of England's highest peaks.

The site serves as a prime launching point for Scafell Pike, England's tallest mountain, via one of its shorter but steeper routes, and lies within reach of classic rock-climbing lines on Great Gable such as Napes Needle and Central Buttress.

On-site facilities include a shop, shower block, and washing-up area with a local information point. No parking is permitted on pitches, though wheelbarrows are available to haul gear from the car park.

The campsite accommodates tents and accepts dogs, and the Wasdale Head Inn is a short walk away for post-hike meals and drinks.

Valley walks along riverbanks, ancient packhorse tracks, and waterfalls offer quieter alternatives for those not heading to the high fells.
