Wild Camping in the Lake District

The Lake District is the largest national park in the UK and is a favourite for many. It’s a popular adventure spot due to its glacial ribbon lakes and rugged mountain ranges which you can call home for the night. One thing to note is that wild camping in the Lake District is not permitted. You’ll need to seek permission from the landowner to legally wild camp there.

If you follow these simple tips and are respectful to the wildlife, wild camping in the Lake District is usually tolerated:

  1. Seek permission from the landowner.
  2. Most importantly, LEAVE NO TRACE – the only sign of your wild camp should be the flat grass your tent was pitched on.
  3. Do not start fires for any reason – use a cooking stove or Trangia instead.
  4. Take all of your waste and anything else you have bought with you, back home.
  5. Pitch up late at night and leave early in the morning.
  6. Do not stay longer than 1 night.
  7. Before heading off on a wild camping adventure, make sure your gear is up for the challenge.

Best wild camping spots in the Lake District

The Lake District is the biggest national park in the UK, so naturally, there will be plenty of spots where you can set up your tent. It’s always a good idea to look out for potential spots on hikes and keep a note of any you may find along the way. Here are a few spots in the Lake District where we recommend starting with:

  • Haystacks, Cockermouth – this spot lies in the corner of the beautiful and popular Buttermere Valley. This spot has many great flat wild camping spots thanks to the large flat plateau that offers plenty of shelter to pitch your tent.
  • Ennerdale Valley, Ennerdale – this area is the best for wild camping in our opinion. It is the most remote part of the Lake District meaning it won’t be overrun by other people so you can pitch up and enjoy the views in peace. The most westerly lake, called Ennerdale lake can also be found here.
  • Codale Tarn, Grasmere – this one is for the more experienced wild campers amongst us. Codale Tarn could be the next spot for you if you’re after a good adventure. It is known amongst the wild camping community as one of the best secret spots in Grasmere.
  • Holme Fell, Coniston – this spot is one of the better ones for those that want to camp on a fell but don’t want to hike for miles up steep terrain. The fell is only 317m high and the climb to the top is easy with many camping spots on the way.

The Lake District is a great place for intermediate wild campers to explore, but if you don’t quite feel up for the challenge why not check out our top camping spots in the Peak District and build your confidence up.
