Camping ideas

Camping in the Lake District

Are you a confident camper, or a newbie who’s planning a first outdoor stay? Either way, this page is all about inspiring you to get out exploring with your tent, caravan or motorhome, or to try out glamping somewhere new and exciting – whether you're looking for a carefully planned itinerary or fancy finding somewhere off the beaten track. 

Camping is one of the most versatile ways to spend a holiday, opening up possibilities that range from completing a pilgrimage to attending a music festival. Where you go is also totally up to you, whether you're eager to travel the world or want to explore more of your own country. 

When one of our road trips, long-distance walks or other adventures strikes a chord, head over to our camping guides hub for details about how to choose and look after your kit. Those of you who are already clued up and kitted out should click here for practical tips on finding campsites by theme or advice on what to do when you arrive.
