Campsites in the Lakes

[Lithril]

Going to head up to the lake district this weekend and was looking at the national trust site next to Wasdale... that was until I saw the price. Does anyone know of any reasonable campsites that are slightly cheaper in the north lakes?

Hi Lithril,

We used to use the camping barns when we went to the Lake District, some of them used to allow camping with tents...Just a thought...Have a nice time, but don't forget the waterproofs

Matt I stayed at the Coniston Hall campsite about 4 years ago, I know it isn't bang on he Wast, but you have Coniston itself and the Old Man of Coniston up behind the site.

It also means that you will be closer to Ambleside (Gaynor Sports and other shops) and Windermere.

Cheers for the suggestions, I'm going to get the map out now and mark a few of those off.

Leon - sam will kill you, she's already banned me from going anywhere near Keswick because theres too many shops

Know it well, or you could sling a hammock next to blea tarn on the other side.

the forest at blea is an sssi, theres a sign or two asking for no fires or camping etc, however theres a few nice off the path spots half way up blake rig (the crag west of blea tarn).

if your in langdale, its worth a pop into langstrath its almost the same but with less sheep
