Campervan Life at Sykeside... A Stunning Lake District Escape

Join us for an unforgettable campervan adventure in the heart of the Lake District as we stay at the beautiful Sykeside Campsite in Hartsop. Surrounded by dramatic fells and peaceful countryside, this spot is the perfect base for exploring one of the UK’s most breathtaking regions. In this vlog, we take on some iconic Lake District experiences- driving the legendary Struggle and tackling the famous Kirkstone Pass with incredible views around every bend. We also lace up our boots and take on the Hartsop Dodd horseshoe, bagging a series of Wainwrights along the way with rewarding panoramic views across the fells. Whether you're into vanlife, hiking, or just love scenic getaways, this trip has a bit of everything- adventure, relaxation, and some seriously stunning landscapes.
