Lake View Camping
Lake View Camping is a totally unique Lake District camping experience – a camping plot to call your own!
The site is only open for 60 days per year and has space for a limited number of tents (sorry, no camper vans).
The site is an absolute hidden gem and offers a rare opportunity to camp in isolation overlooking the stunning view of Ennerdale Water.
We offer 2 pitches for solo walkers on the Coast to Coast. 4 pitches for 2 or 3 person tents (max. tent size 6m2*) and a single pitch for tents 12m2 to 20m2*. Campers have shared use of toilet and shower with the Spinning Barn and Bothy.
If you are on the Coast to Coast Walk (or Duke of Edinburgh group) and cannot find availability please phone 01946 861270 and leave a message, as we can usually accommodate Coast to Coast walkers on a single night basis.
The site has chairs and tables and an undercover area to store equipment or for cooking… for occasional use when the Lake District weather is unusually inclement!
For evening meals you could head down to Ennerdale Bridge to savour the local cuisine at one at one of the 2 pubs there (2.5 mile lake-shore walk), or you could enjoy an evening barbecue watching the sunset over Ennerdale Water. The perfect location for the start of many great adventures.
Dogs are welcome! No charge.
* Larger tents can be accommodated, but are situated on the field, which requires campers to carry their equipment slightly further from the parking and facilities.
Please phone Susan on 01946 861270 for all camping enquiries.

"We had a wonderful time here - loved the cosy vibe of the barn and enjoyed switching off from it all! We did some beautiful walks, which were full of spectacular views! Loved reading about them in the Wainwrights book (provided by the host). Lovely to see the weaving in action too. A very special place and hope to come back."

"A wonderful Easter Break in this delightful bunkbarn in a beautiful setting. Susan was a lovely host offering lots of advice about the local area. Without a doubt, a gem of find - we will be back."

"Great location; beautiful views. Accommodation was just what we needed for the weekend and perfect size for 6 of us. Went to the lake and horse riding - we really enjoyed our weekend!"

"Beautiful place! We really enjoyed our last minute trip to the Lakes, and are so happy to have found this place. Well thought out fittings and fixtures - underfloor heating and stove especially appreciated! Hope to visit you all again sometime."
