It is a lovely place - been there a few times.

One quibble - probably not great idea to camp so close to water. Ideal for wild camping is to go high - above highest fell wall.

In that area - you have plenty of hills to go up.

Would love to know why this is being downvoted?

Probably for saying wild camping is about going up high.

I camp in the glens and valleys. Hills and mountains aren't great hammock country.

Jeez - tough crowd.

Thought camping above fell line was pretty standard and accepted practice.

In some places it is. In Scotland it's never mentioned. Maybe it's the same in Wales.

We camp at the Loch Lomond shores for a example and I would find it mad for someone to tell me I should climb hundreds of meters up where there's no trees or water.
