Try camping in a luxurious camping pod!

Situated at the head of the majestic Great Langdale Valley and guarded by the dominating Langdale Pikes, this campsite is a walker's and climber's dream come true.

Fell walking routes include Bowfell, Crinkle Crags, the Langdale Pikes and England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike. Raven Crag, Gimmer Crag and White Ghyll are just a few of the numerous rock climbing spots which line the valley floor, providing some of the most spectacular rock routes in the UK.

Gentler walks may lead you over Lingmoor into Little Langdale or eastwards along the valley floor into the wooded areas around the picturesque valley of Elterwater. For more walking and climbing information, see our frequently asked questions or go to our links page.

For an alternative luxurious experience, Long Valley Yurts now have two fully equiped yurts available for hire located at our Great Langdale campsite. More information.
