It is perfectly placed to explore the Western Lakes and offers the only business on the Wasdaleweb accepting touring caravans The National Trust Wasdale Head campsite is situated at the head of Wastwater, at the bottom of the Brown Tongue path up Scafell Pike. It is a large family-friendly site with showers, a small shop and laundry facilities and is approx 20 mins walk from the head of the valley and the Wasdale Head Inn. As with all the camping in Wasdale, the site is not ideal for those wishing a camping holiday based around a holiday-style site, as the local area does not have those kind of facilities. As a base for a great activity type holiday in superb countryside it is, however, ideal. The Barn Door Shop offers basic camping facilities at the very head of the valley adjacent to the Wasdale Head Inn It should be noted that as this site is close to the pub, is only for tents and has only toilets and fresh water for facilities, it is best suited for shorter stays and is perhaps not ideal for family-type car camping. The National Trust site above is ideal for those who desire that type of venue.
