Syke Farm Campsite sits in Buttermere, in the heart of the Lake District, Cumbria, neighbouring Keswick, Cockermouth and Borrowdale. It's a back-to-basics campsite with space for around 50 tents, where you choose your own pitch on arrival and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and lakes. On site you'll find toilet and shower facilities, a separate car park reached over a small wooden bridge, and a warm welcome for dogs on leads. Nearby cafes and pubs are also dog-friendly, and the area offers plenty of walking straight from the campsite. For a change of pace, the Puzzling Place, The Retro Zone and Derwent Pencil Museum are all around seven miles away, making this a relaxed base for exploring the Lakes.
