style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Owned by the National Trust, this campsite sits in the jaw-dropping Wasdale Valley \u2013 home to England\u2019s deepest lake, highest mountain, and even its tiniest church!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">With countless trails leading up Scafell Pike, the campsite is just a short stroll from Wasdale Head Car Park, the starting point for one of the

you\u2019re in the heart of the National Park.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">To keep the atmosphere peaceful, the National Trust limits groups to a maximum of four adults, whether booked together or separately.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">For hill walking enthusiasts, the site is perfectly positioned near iconic fells such as Great Gable, Kirk Fell, Bowfell,
