Syke Farm Campsite is a long-established, back-to-basics campsite in Buttermere village, placing walkers within easy reach of both Buttermere and Crummock Water.

Facilities include toilets and coin-operated hot showers. Dogs are welcome subject to the site rules and should be kept on leads on the campsite. Syke Farm also offers glamping accommodation including a shepherd's hut and yurts.

The site can fill during busy periods, so advance booking is sensible. Conditions on a working farm and in a mountain valley can be affected by wet weather.
