Fisherground Campsite

Fisherground Campsite sits in the heart of Eskdale, one of Cumbria's quieter valleys on the western side of the Lake District.

Named among the Independent newspaper's 50 World Best Campsites — ranking in the overall top 18 and top 4 for children's enjoyment — it welcomes walkers and families seeking peace away from the busier eastern fells.

The site's adventure playground features rafts on a pond, a treehouse, and an adventure course, making it a particular draw for younger visitors. Camp fires are permitted.

Wildlife in the surrounding valley includes red squirrels, buzzards, herons, and peregrine falcons, and the narrow-gauge Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway (La'al Ratty) passes nearby.

A short walk from the site leads along the River Esk to a shallow swimming spot by the bridge, while longer routes reach Stanley Force waterfall and, for experienced hikers, Scafell Pike.
