A few minutes' walk across the fields is the ancient Walna Scar track, taking you to Dow Crag and Coniston's classic peak, the Old Man, with views out across Coniston Water en route. Walkers and climbers alike will enjoy the site's closeness to Wallowbarrow gorge and crags.

"Wasdale campsite nestles under the Scafell mountain range at the head of beautiful Wastwater, the deepest lake in England, with its distinctive Nordic character and the pyramidal peak of Great Gable reflected in its waters. This stunning place is attractive for its remoteness and utter peace. The dramatic landscape will inspire the most adventurous outdoor enthusiast. England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike, is within striking distance from Wasdale Campsite as are many other high fell walking routes. The birthplace of British rock climbing, Wasdale offers true mountaineering in the surrounding fells. A great base for climbers of all abilities, the valley offers classic routes such as Napes Needle and Central Buttress. Canoeing is possible on Wastwater although limited to no more than 15 on the lake at a time."
