Top Lake District Campsites for Campervans

Planning a campervan trip to the Lake District? These three campsites offer excellent bases for exploring lakes, mountain walks, picturesque villages and some of Cumbria’s most memorable scenery. Facilities, prices and seasonal opening dates can change, so check each campsite’s official website before travelling.

Sykeside Camping Park

Set in the Dovedale Valley near Brotherswater, Sykeside Camping Park is surrounded by Dove Crag, Hart Crag and Fairfield. Its location makes it an excellent base for walkers and visitors looking to experience the dramatic scenery of the Lake District.

The campsite welcomes dogs, although they should be kept on leads and under control because sheep and deer live nearby. Check directly with the campsite for current facilities and pet policies.

Windermere Camping and Caravanning Club Site

Located between Bowness-on-Windermere and Kendal, this campsite is well placed for exploring the southern Lake District. Visitors can enjoy walking, water-based activities and easy access to the shops, restaurants and attractions of both towns.

The peaceful setting, countryside views and surrounding wildlife make it a relaxing base for a campervan holiday. Confirm current pitch availability, facilities and booking requirements with the site before your visit.

Troutbeck Head Caravan and Motorhome Club Site

Troutbeck Head sits in the North Lakeland countryside near Penrith, with views towards Blencathra and access to beautiful walks, valleys and rivers. Ullswater is nearby, while the Kirkstone Pass provides a scenic route towards Windermere, Ambleside and Grasmere.

The surrounding area offers country pubs, farm shops and outdoor activities, making this a convenient location for exploring and relaxing in Cumbria. Check the official site for current facilities, opening dates and pitch information.
