Lakeland DA
Welcome to the Lakeland District Association, part of the Camping & Caravanning Club.
Discover the heart of who we are, our stories, our adventures, and our shared love for the great outdoors. Let's embark on this journey together, creating lasting memories under the open sky.
Camping with your local group or District Association (DA) is one of the best ways to make the most of the great outdoors whilst making new friends at the same time. The Club has 93 DA’s spread across 13 Regions.
Being part of a camping community not only opens the door to new camping locations and insider knowledge on the best spots to visit, but also provides a true sense of belonging within a supportive and welcoming group. Whether you’re a seasoned camper or just starting out, joining a camping community in the UK enriches every adventure and builds lasting camaraderie that makes each trip more enjoyable. What’s more, these communities offer some of the most affordable camping opportunities, along with the assurance of a warm, friendly welcome wherever you go. Members are encouraged to attend any Meet, whether organised by their own District Association (DA) or by another DA elsewhere in the country, making it easy to explore new places while always feeling at home.
Your local DA is shown on your membership card and is based on your home postcode. To belong to the same DA as family or friends it’s easy to change or ‘opt’ to a different DA. Simply contact the Secretary of the District Association you would like to move to and they will send you an Opting Form to complete and return to them together with your Membership Cards.
The area we cover is wide and varied, with 2, 3, 4, 5 days and temporary holiday meets available. Some of the best scenery and walking in the country, from quiet locations to major towns.
We are sure you can find a place you would like to visit.
We look forward to seeing you at one of our meets.
Who we are:
When Cumberland, Westmorland & Furness all amalgamated in 1969, Lakeland District Association was formed.
Joining a camping community in the UK, such as the Lakeland District Association (LDA), comes with a host of benefits for outdoor enthusiasts. Our community offers a welcoming space to connect with like-minded people who share a love for exploring the great outdoors and creating lasting memories. Members can take part in organized meets throughout the year, providing opportunities to socialize, exchange camping tips, and build lifelong friendships.
Q. How can I find out more?
A. Look in the Out and About pages of Camping & Caravanning magazine for details of the Meets, Temporary Holiday Sites and events which are organised all over the country.
Alternatively you can download the ‘Out & About’ app, which provides listings of camping meets and temporary holiday sites run by members of the Camping and Caravanning Club which are ideal for short or long stays and often in or close to scenic locations.
