Overnight parking

The most dramatic park up in the Lake District

Park overnight in our large bottom car park, with incredible views across Borrowdale and easy access to Buttermere, Keswick, Derwentwater and beyond.
A climber in a white helmet and dark jacket sits on a rocky outcrop, gazing out at a steep mountainside covered in loose scree and sparse vegetation. Climbing rope and equipment are visible in the foreground.

Incredible views

Open to campervans, motorhomes and vans. No tent camping, sorry, this is a mountain pass, not a campsite.

Mountain resort with rustic wooden structures and camping facilities, two people sitting at a picnic table in the foreground, surrounded by gravel grounds, evergreen trees, and a scenic alpine valley with winding stream in the background

Fuel your adventure

Our cafe will be open from 9am daily, serving bacon butties and freshly ground morning coffee.

Things you need to know

Location

Honister Pass is a 25% gradient and narrow in places. Drive carefully. The road has opinions.
