That said, the dale is well suited to a tent, with a small campsite near Semer Water itself offering pitches within walking distance of the lake, along with other options around Bainbridge and further up Wensleydale towards Hawes. Facilities on the more remote sites can be basic, so it is worth checking what is provided, particularly around water, showers and mobile signal, before setting off. The terrain here is classic Yorkshire Dales: open fell above the dale, drystone-walled pasture lower down, and the lake itself sitting in a natural bowl surrounded by hills. It is exposed ground, and weather can turn quickly even in summer, so a good four-season tent and proper waterproofs are worth having whatever the forecast says at the campsite gate. Midges can be an issue by the water on still summer evenings. Late spring to early autumn is the most reliable camping season, when daylight hours are long and the hay meadows and lakeside paths are at their best; the water-lilies on Semer Water flower in July, making a midsummer visit particularly rewarding. Outside these months, nights lengthen and turn cold quickly this far north, and some smaller sites reduce services or close altogether over winter. For those who would rather leave the tent poles at home, glamping pods, shepherd's huts and static caravans are available at sites around Semer Water and Bainbridge, offering a similar sense of being out in the dale with rather more comfort. These tend to book up well in advance for the summer holidays, so early planning pays off for anyone set on a stay by the lake itself.
