Glamping in Cumbria guide

Overview

The Lake District isn’t the only reason to visit Cumbria—but there’s no denying that it’s the main one. Home to the highest mountains and largest lakes in England, it’s no wonder that the Lake District is the most visited of the UK’s 15 national parks. There are, of course, glamping sites galore in this area, ones that cater to all tastes. Look out for yurts, shepherd’s huts, and tiny homes next to the water.

You’ll find all sorts of Cumbria glamping accommodation, from pods to treehouses and bell tents to shepherd’s huts. Plenty of family-friendly glamping spots are also on offer, in addition to others where you can bring your dog or escape for a cosy romantic stay.
