Just stayed at Gt. Langdale over the bank holiday weekend. Great location for walks with fabulous scenery (if the low clouds ever disperse). However, the camp site is very boggy and muddy (think Glastonbury) with poor drainage. It was wet and overcast whilst the rest of the country was bathed in sunshine. This seems to be a theme with Langdale... More

I camped here with a friend for one night, difficult to pitch the tent due to lots of rocks below thin soil layer. There was torrential rain overnight which curtailed the fun to some extent - some areas of the campsite had not drained well...it was worth a few minutes checking the area before we pitched, and glad I had!...

The site is at the head of this beautiful valley in a superb location. Within walking distinct of 2 pubs, both serving food. Small shop on site sells the essentials. Hot showers included and toilets/ wash facilities kept clean and in good condition. Staff happy to help. Only downside is that it is hard to hammer standard tent pegs into... More

I stayed here over the weekend. The campsite was pretty quiet, as might be expected in early February when the weather forecast was for rain and snow (weather turned out to be better than I had thought it would be, although very wet when it came to putting tent away- cant blame campsite for that though!). This meant that it... More

We have stayed here on a number of occasions, both summer & winter. We camp in our tent over the summer months & stay in one of the wooden camping pods in the winter. Staff are always helpfully & polite. Good little shop on site. Will be returning when we go back to Great Langdale.

We stayed here for 2 nights over New year. We had a camper van with an electric hook up ( 1 of 2 on the site , need to pre book) . It was £36, and what a BARGIN! We decided to use the showers on site as it was included in the price. The showers were boiling hot (... More

We spent 4 days here in a cool damp week in October and the site was very quiet, not surprisingly! The location is second to none - the site is set in a valley surrounded by hills, there is only 1 road through the valley and few buildings, of which 3 are pubs which meant we didn't need to cook...

This site provides an excellent base for walking and motorcycling. I have been 4 times; it's a brilliant spot. The site seems to attract campers who are considerate but don't get stressed if you have a quietly spoken drink after the 11:00 curfew i.e. it manages to keep out the low life without being over regimented. This valley is prone... More

I was a bit surprised by some of the reviews when I saw them the other day when I was looking for the camp site number. I've stayed at this camp site loads of times before at different times of the year and have always found it to be great. I've never really found it to be particularly noisy (apart... More
