Camping at Banks

Camping at Banks is a small, back to basics campsite for walkers and cyclists (no vehicles) 150m from the Hadrian’s Wall National Trail path in the village of Banks, near Brampton offering a great place to stay.

We have space for tents and a simple, cosy shepherds hut shelter sleeping up to 3 with a woodburining stove inside. Camping spots are in a natural space and are most suited to small backpacking tents. The hut has a double and single bunk (the single has restricted head space so better for small people) with mattresses and pillows. We provide fresh pillowcases and if you don’t have you own sleeping bag our Fine Bedding Co bags can be provided for £5pppn. We have 2 compost loos – one for campers and one for those staying in the shepherds hut. There are also 3 outside clay sinks with drinking water. There is no shower.

There are many places to explore nearby, including the historic city of Carlisle, Lake District National Park, North Pennines AONB and the medieval Lanercost Priory is just a mile away. The market town of Brampton is 3 miles away offering shops, restaurants and pubs.
