The historic western coast of Cumbria, where Ravenglass stands, is a region that dates back to a time when ancient Romans guarded the area against barbarian invasion. Along with ruins of Roman baths and other historic landmarks, the area is dotted with camping sites along the beach and cliffs to inland valleys and fells. Coastal campsites can be found from St. Bees Head Heritage Coast, north of Ravenglass, and next to the pristine sands of Silecroft Beach, south of town. Enjoy waterfront views of the Irish Sea from caravan pitches along the coast, as well.

Camping around Ravenglass is most comfortable from late spring to early autumn. Lake District weather is most pleasant in summertime, due to warmer temperatures, drier conditions, and longer daylight hours for hiking, cycling, and other outdoor activities. Summer is the peak season for trout fishing on the lakes, too. For a quieter experience with fewer people, consider camping during the shoulder months. Campers should note that rain can be in the forecast year-round.
