Low Wray Campsite is situated on the quiet western shore of Windermere. Watch the sun rise over the lake and enjoy the magnificent fell views, and there are abundant opportunities for gentle walks, great off-road biking and non-powered water sports all from the campsite grounds. Leave the car behind and explore the area on foot, by bike or by boat. The shop and reception have been re-located to the centre of the campsite, providing a more spacious shopping area with a greater range of goods on offer and a local information point. Campers should follow the signs to reception on arrival. Our toilet and shower blocks have been completely refurbished over the winter.
