I did it a couple of years ago bunkhousing rather than camping. "Hadrians Haul" is a company that takes your heavy bags along to your next stopover so you can walk with just day kit.
The owners of the bunkhouses were, without fail, the kindest, most generous folk and the welcome was fantastic!
Bunkhouses that shone above the others were
Houghton North Farm - Haddon on the Hill (Pam runs it and was great at making us feel at home in 4* luxury)
Greencarts - Humshaugh (the farmers wife made her husband drive us to the pub!)
Winshields Farm - Bardon Mill -( very peaceful)
Sandysike - Waldon, Brompton (excellent bunkhouse, 3 legged dog, great owners ... I would like to have chatted forever)
Ashleigh House B&B -Carlisle (Huge breakfasts)
We stayed 2 nights each at Winshields and Ashleigh House the first to visit Vindolanda and the second so we walked from Carlisle to the end of the walk and got the bus back.
Book accom in Carlisle early as it is hard to get good cheap prices.
Keep an eye out for "Honesty tuck shops" along the way - tables at the end of tracks, garden shed etc - sweets and drinks pricelist and box for the dosh ....
The Centurian Inn near Sandysike had an honesty bar as well!
I have walked many LDPs and literally have walked the length and breadth of England (Lands End to the Scottish Border North Sea to Irish sea) but this was the best!
We had lousy weather - hot and wet with thunder and lightning - but the best of times!
