Keswick Campsite is expected to flood today, due to heavy rainfall in the Lake District area overnight.
Due to overnight rain, lake levels are expected to continue rising, causing flooding in the area.
Weather conditions are expected to improve throughout the afternoon but further rain is expected overnight tonight (August 22) into tomorrow morning (August 23).
Lake levels are expected to be high until 3pm on August 24.
Areas most at risk include low lying areas bordering the shores of Derwent Water and the frontage of the Keswick Camping and Caravan Club Site .
The Environment Agency said: "We are closely monitoring the situation and liaising with campsite staff.
"Take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water."
Flooding is also expected at the River Rothay at Grasmere, White Bridge and Stock Lane, while it is possible in several other Cumbrian coastal towns.
