Our Lake District campsites are the perfect base for climbing, fell walking and outdoor family adventures in stunning scenery.
Walking holidays in the Lake District
With its craggy peaks, lush valleys and miles of woodland, the Lake District has a well-deserved reputation as the walking capital of the UK. Every one of our holiday cottages and campsites has direct access to a range of walking routes for any level of adventure.
Whether you'd like a long day out on England's highest peaks or a gentle amble along a lakeshore, you'll find a walk for you. Some places are close to the well-trodden routes around Windermere or Ambleside, while others give immediate access to wild and remote places where you'll barely see a soul all day.
