Luxury Camping in the Lake District

You still have that wonderful ‘under canvas’ feeling but with lots more space. Your fully equipped yurt is ready for you when you arrive, easier on the knees and with a more laid-back vibe. And, of course, with less to carry in your car, you’ll spend less on fuel to get here!

Long Valley yurts are located on some of the most beautiful and peaceful Lake District campsites. From lakeside on Windermere to a working farm at Coniston and a secluded family run campsite under Skiddaw’s graceful flanks near Keswick.
