Lake District Fights Back Against Fly Camping
29 Aug
Summary
- Branded bin liners promote responsible camping and offer campsite alternatives.
- Rangers actively engage with campers leaving litter.
- The campaign encourages visitors to protect the environment and leave no trace.

The Lake District National Park Authority has launched a new initiative to address irresponsible fly camping and littering. Branded bin liners are being distributed to visitors, urging them to "leave no trace, just good vibes." These liners include a QR code that directs users to a directory of more than 100 campsites, offering alternatives to informal camping spots.
Lake District National Park Authority rangers are actively engaging with individuals and groups found camping irresponsibly. They are providing these campers with the necessary tools to clean up any litter or mess left behind. The campaign, part of the wider "Lake District Kind" initiative, also involves partners like the National Trust and Forestry England.
This effort encourages visitors to explore the natural beauty of the Lake District while emphasizing the importance of environmental protection. The goal is to ensure the landscape is enjoyed responsibly, with a strong focus on sustainability and preserving the area for future generations.
