The Lake District is a beautiful area in the northwest of England that is known for its stunning natural beauty, including its many lakes, mountains, and forests. It is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, including those who enjoy camping in campervans.

There are a number of campsites in the Lake District that allow campervans, and many of these offer amenities such as toilets, showers, and electric hook-ups.

When camping in the Lake District with a campervan, it is also important to be mindful of the environment and to follow ‘Leave No Trace’ principles. This means taking care not to damage the natural surroundings, leaving the campsite as you found it, and disposing of waste properly.

There are many different activities to enjoy while camping in the Lake District, including hiking, climbing, cycling, and water sports. The area is also home to a number of charming villages and towns, so there is plenty to see and do during your stay.

 

Here are a number of campsites in the Lake District that allow campervans:
