Sleeping on a remote col above the highest fell wall, with only your tent between you and the stars: wild camping in the Lake District is an unforgettable way to experience the fells. Carry your kit through the mountains under the guidance of an experienced Mountain Leader.
Two-day trips introduce self-supported mountain travel with a single wild camp above the highest fell wall. You walk with a loaded rucksack while your guide leads the route, coaches lightweight packing and helps you choose camp spots with water access and minimal impact.
Extended trips add a third day and a second wild camp, linking more remote valleys and summits for a fuller taste of Lake District wild camping. Both formats teach camp craft, water sourcing and multi-day pacing away from roads and villages.
Wasdale routes start from England's deepest valley with immediate access to Scafell country and high moorland camps above Wast Water. Langdale programmes use the central fells around Great Langdale and Bowfell approaches, with camps on sheltered cols above the valley floor.
Ullswater starts bring you into eastern Lakeland with long ridge days and camps overlooking the quieter eastern fells. Your guide confirms the meeting point and finish location ahead of your trip based on the scheduled route.
Carrying a loaded rucksack over mountain terrain demands good fitness, including consecutive days with significant ascent on rough paths. Previous hill walking and camping experience helps you manage kit weight and keep pace in changeable Lakeland weather.
Bring your own full backpacking kit including tent, sleeping system, stove and cooking gear. We can talk through packing and kit choices when you confirm your place if you are relatively new to wild camping.
Wild camping in Lakeland rewards expert choice of camp spots, safe route lines and coaching on lightweight hill skills in a remote setting where small decisions matter. An experienced Mountain Leader makes all the difference when the weather turns or the light fades.
We know Wasdale, Langdale and Ullswater country intimately, from reliable water sources to sheltered cols that stay usable when conditions change, so you can focus on the wild camping rather than worrying about where to sleep.
The specific wild camping route depends on the dates you choose. Two-day trips introduce multi-day mountain travel with a single wild camp, while extended trips add a third day with more remote fells and a second camp.
We send a full route plan with daily distances, camp locations, and meeting points ahead of your trip.
Two-day trips suit walkers building confidence with wild camping on mountain terrain. You'll carry your kit across a compact Lake District route with one overnight camp above the highest fell wall.
Extended trips add another day and camp, linking more remote valleys and summits for a fuller wild camping experience.
Wild camping in the Lake District is tolerated when done responsibly, following leave-no-trace principles and camping above the highest fell wall away from villages and roads. Your guide selects appropriate camp spots and teaches responsible practice throughout.
Specific camp locations for your trip are confirmed ahead of your dates based on the route and seasonal conditions.

We contact you ahead of your trip if a significant change is needed.
