Great Langdale Campsite
Langdale, Cumbria
A National Trust dog friendly campsite beneath the Langdale Pikes, with direct access to world-class walking and dogs welcome everywhere on site.
Great Langdale Campsite sits at the foot of the Langdale Pikes and is one of the most spectacularly located dog friendly campsites in the Lake District. Run by the National Trust, it offers direct access to some of the finest walking trails in the country straight from your pitch, with plenty of open space, a small stream for dogs to cool off in, and a laid-back atmosphere that feels unmistakably Lakeland.

Are dogs allowed at Great Langdale Campsite year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions on dogs, and as a National Trust campsite in an open fell setting, it has the feel of a place that embraces dogs as part of the experience. We'd recommend checking directly with the National Trust for exact opening dates and any seasonal booking requirements before you visit.
What should I know before visiting Great Langdale Campsite with my dog?
It's worth knowing that parking arrangements vary depending on your pitch type — hardstanding pitches have parking right next to them, while tent pitches require you to park in the arrival car park and carry your gear to the pitch. There's a small stream on site where dogs can cool off, which is handy after a day on the fells. The surrounding Langdale Valley offers some serious walking terrain, including routes to Blea Tarn and Stickle Tarn, so it's best suited to dogs who are comfortable on open, hilly ground.
