Accommodation and Activities
Camping on site is available for £10 per person per night payable on arrival. Pre-booking is not necessary. Modestly sized motorhomes and caravans are welcomed on the sports field. Camping is available from Thursday to Sunday afternoon. The grassy tented areas are flat and it is usually possible to park alongside your tent. Free showers. There are NO electric hookups for campervans.
Non-competitors are also welcome to camp and join in. Details will be in the competitor's information pack sent nearer the time.
If you prefer not to camp, search the usual online accommodation portals for Grasmere Village options to suit most budgets.
The X-Lakes hike and fly challenges are now officially Cumbria Soaring Club events and will again run alongside the LCC. They overlap with the LCC events so it is not possible to take part in both.
