Chapel House Farm Campsite sits deep in the Borrowdale Valley in the Lake District, a working farm site run by the same family for three generations. It's traditional, basic camping close to nature, with a well-lit toilet block, hot showers, dishwashing sinks and a fair-sized car park, but no electrical hook-ups. The site is ideally placed for the Coast to Coast path and the Cumbrian Way, with Scafell Pike and countless fell walks on the doorstep, and Keswick just an eight-mile drive or a fifteen-minute bus ride away. Dogs are welcome on leads, and firepits raised off the ground are permitted. You're also within reach of Derwent Water at Crow Park beach and several Museums & Galleries attractions near Keswick, including Puzzling Place and Keswick Museum & Art Gallery.
