Dog-friendly campsites in the Lake District National Park guide

Overview

Why choose dog-friendly camping in the Lake District?

Opting for dog-friendly camping and glamping in the Lake District will give you a plethora of activities to enjoy with your pooch. The Lake District National Park itself is dog-friendly, so enjoy going for a scenic walk or hike with your fur baby in tow. The National Trust has rules dog walkers should abide by, from making sure you're cleaning up after them to being wary of the nearby wildlife. Make sure you take your lead with you, as no one wants them to chase any of the sheep that take up residence here!

Dog walks in the Lake District

In terms of dog walks in the Lake District, it's recommended that visitors try the Windermere west shore walk, a linear route that takes up to three hours and encompasses the grounds and parkland of Wray Castle. The Octavia Hill walk at Brandelhow Park, Derwent Water is a shorter route, taking around an hour and 30 minutes, letting you walk lakeside with your dog. Derwentwater has a nine-mile route around its wondrous lake, while Ullwater provides another beautiful spot by the water to explore. Here are the best Lake District dog walks:

  • Windermere west shore
  • Octavia Hill
  • Derwentwater
  • Ullswater
  • Grasmere and Rydal
