Family campsites in the Lake District
Think of a traditional camping holiday and it won't be long before you think of the Lakes' otherworldly beauty. From boating around mirror-like water to picnicking in the fells, it's paradise for little ones. Beatrix Potter's Hill Top will bring beloved characters alive and then it's down to Muncaster Castle to meet their dazzling owls or over to Grizedale Forest for orienteering. Whisk the kids off to these family campsites in the Lake District!
