Families, couples and individuals are welcome at all our campsites.
All campers are accepted on to the sites on a first come, first served basis.
To protect the quiet nature of the sites:
Groups of more than 4 campers cannot be accepted unless you are a family group with children under the age of 16.
Under 18 year olds must be accompanied by an adult
Families are very welcome but we request that no more than 2 families camp together.
The National Trust reserves the right to refuse admission.
Organised groups such as Duke of Edinburgh or scouts may book the group fields in advance at Low Wray and Great Langdale and can be accepted by prior arrangement at Wasdale.
For your safety:
To reduce danger from fire and to avoid over crowding, you must leave a 6 metre gap (20 feet) between each tent , even if the tent next to you is yours! You can measure this by approximately 7 good strides. You will be asked to move your tent(s) if they are too close together. Please ask the Warden for approval before pitching gazebos or additional tentage.
Arrival times
At Low Wray campsite, please note that new arrivals should report to reception before pitching during reception hours which are as follows:
Low Season excluding Fridays (1st January until 1sth May except bank holiday weekends): 1pm until 7pm,
High and Peak Season (5th May until 28th September including bank holiday weekends) and every Friday throughout the season : 12.pm until 8pm.
Bank holiday weekends are charged at Peak Season prices and are subject to a minimum 2 night stay.
At Wasdale and Great Langdale campsites, to avoid disturbance to other campers, please arrive no later than 10pm. If you arrive whilst reception is closed, please take note of the 6m rule before you pitch your tent.
No caravans
All three campsites can accept tents and limited space for campervans. Trailer tents can be accepted although they may need to be manhandled on to the pitch. There are hook ups at Wasdale but no other special provision is made for campervans, such as chemical disposal facility.
All sites
Please be aware that we can only book visitors onto a pitch who are present at the site. For example you will not be able to book in for a friend who is following on later. We believe this to be a fair system for all our customers and apologise for any inconvenience.
To ensure a pleasant and safe camping holiday for all, we expect campers:
- to respect the property and other campers.
A quiet site policy
- to avoid excessive noise at all times, being quiet between the hours of 10pm and 7am. (Those who do not comply may be asked to leave the site.)
Pitching your tent
- to pitch tents at least 6m away from your nearest neighbour as explained above.
Dogs
- to keep dogs on a lead, exercised away from camping areas, and any mess cleared up immediately.
Fires and barbeques
- Open fires are not permissible but you are welcome to bring charcoal or gas barbeques provided they are raised off the grass and are suitably sited and attended so that they are not a hazard to other campers.
Mobile phone reception
Please note that mobile phone reception at all our Lake District campsites is very limited. Public telephones are located at reception.
Severe weather warnings from the Met Office.
If a warning is issued by the Met Office, you may be asked to move your tent or to leave the site for reasons of safety.
We hope that you understand the need for these simple rules and that they are for the benefit of all who stay at the campsites.
