The Lake District is a camper van paradise, though it can feel busier than a duck pond in summer—especially during school holidays. But don’t worry, there are still plenty of hidden gems to discover. From the tranquil shores of Coniston to the majestic views around Ullswater, Derwentwater, and Windermere, you’ll find secluded spots and jaw-dropping vistas that make battling the crowds totally worth it. Just keep your eyes peeled for sheep—they don’t do traffic rules!

Avoid school holidays if you can. Well any holidays American, French or weekends or weekdays, maybe Christmas day would be good.

Make sure your Van brakes are good I have smelt burning in the past. Although not as bad as Italy but that's another story....
