Lake District Langdale Great Langdale National Trust Campsite

This National Trust campsite sits in Great Langdale valley, surrounded by some of the Lake District’s most iconic peaks including the Langdale Pikes, Bow Fell, and Crinkle Crags. The site offers 98 pitches across terraced fields with stunning mountain views, basic facilities including toilets, showers, and a small shop. Tent pitches dominate, with limited motorhome spaces. The Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel next door provides pub meals and real ale. Bookings essential in summer and weekends year-round.

Access via the narrow B5343 through Chapel Stile — not suitable for large RVs due to stone walls and tight turns. The campsite serves as base camp for serious fell walking, with trailheads to Stickle Tarn, Pike of Stickle, and the high fells literally from your tent door. Weather can change rapidly; come prepared for Lake District conditions regardless of season.
