Tucked at the foot of Blencathra, Low Hollows is an off-grid campsite that trades electricity hook-ups for spectacular mountain views and a genuinely relaxed atmosphere. The fifty grass pitches are basic but well-maintained, with clean shower blocks and washing-up facilities that visitors consistently praise. It's family and dog friendly, and the reasonable pricing makes it a solid choice for anyone wanting a straightforward Lake District base just ten minutes from Keswick.
Fair warning: some pitches can be uneven, so you'll want to pack a spirit level if you're particular about your sleeping angle. But for those happy to embrace a bit of old-school camping in stunning surroundings, Low Hollows delivers exactly what it promises.

What visitors say
Perfect little stop off for the night to get a shower and a good night's sleep between bagging Wainwrights. Cosy laid back place with shower block and toilets. Basic but as expected, wouldn't want it any other way. You can pay by bank transfer too, details in the barn (shower toilet area). Would recommend!
