Glamping in the Lake District is a great way to enjoy nature, while not giving up the comforts of home.

What is glamping?

Before diving into all the reasons to go glamping in the Lake District, we should start by explaining what glamping is. If you’re unfamiliar with it, glamping is a form of glamorous camping – the name might give this away! Glamping allows you to immerse yourself in the beauty of your surroundings, while enjoying well-equipped and comfortable accommodation. It’s a great option for families or couples looking for a unique place to stay!

Glamping has grown in popularity over the last couple of years, making holiday park breaks more accessible for those that do not have all of the necessary camping gear. At Park Cliffe we’re pleased to welcome families and couples to our glamping accommodation overlooking Windermere. We have a range of accommodation options, including a luxury shepherds hut and camping pods.
