Family-run hill farm campsite five minutes’ drive from Boot in Eskdale
West Lakes Adventure five minutes’ drive; Muncaster Castle 15 minutes
Lake District walks straight from the off-grid, dog-friendly pitches

When you’re after spectacular mountain views on an almost wild Lake District camping break, Hollin Head Campsite is a top contender. Set on a family-run hill farm running a flock of Herdwick sheep, the spacious pitches sit in a tree-sheltered camping meadow by the side of the burbling River Esk. There are scenic walks along the Esk from the pitches, and numerous fell and mountain hikes right from the campsite gate. If you like the sound of a pint at the end of your day, there’s a pub within five minutes’ stroll, and when foodie supplies are running low, you can stock up on pretty much everything at the local shop in Eskdale (five minutes’ drive). Well-behaved dogs are more than welcome to accompany you on your Lake District adventure, but please keep them on leads at all times while on site, due to the proximity of the sheep. Small firepits and barbecues are allowed by your pitch, just be sure to raise them off the ground to prevent the grass getting burnt. And as this peaceful, no-frills site is firmly off-grid, please note that there are no showers or electric hook-ups; simple facilities include clean portable loos, a drinking-water tap and recycling bins.
