Camping without a car in the Lake District

Campsites you can reach without driving: a bus stop by the gate or a train station within a mile.

35 of the 66 campsites in the Lake District are on this list (about half). That's 1.6 times the UK share, so Lake District National Park is one of the better places for camping without a car. The most are around Pooley Bridge (4), Windermere (4) and Keswick (3).
