Baysbrown Farm Campsite
Cumbria
Baysbrown Farm Campsite is a spacious, dog friendly working farm tucked into Great Langdale, surrounded by open countryside and some of the best walking in the Lake District. The site takes a refreshingly casual approach to camping, with no pre-booking required: campers simply turn up and pick a spot on a first-come, first-served basis. The setting is peaceful and genuinely rural, making it a favourite with people who want a low-key base for their adventures.
Dogs are welcome across the site and there is plenty of room to roam safely on-lead. Chapel Stile and Elterwater are both close by, home to The Britannia Inn and Wainwrights Inn, both dog friendly and popular with walkers. From the campsite itself you can walk out directly into Langdale, with Ambleside also within easy reach for days when you want a livelier village and more dog friendly pubs and cafes.
