Set in the Lake District - 15 minutes to Haverigg Beach and 20 minutes to Coniston Water
Glorious valley views at the foot of White Combe mountain, next door to a heavy horse riding centre
Surrounded by glorious walking country, breathtaking views and unspoilt landscapes, this is the ideal destination for spending days in the outdoors. Next door to the world's only BHS-approved Heavy Horse Riding Centre, you can even try your hand at horse riding! Grass only pitches are located alongside a beautiful shallow running stream which is ideal for children to play in. These pitches are suitable for tents, trailer tents and small campervans, set on level ground with your own fire pit area for campfires (logs sold onsite). These are located only a two minute walk away from the facilities. Some of these pitches are also car-free, but vehicles can be left in the car park with wheelbarrows provided to transport your things! For campers, caravans and motorhomes, there are hardstanding electric pitches which are slightly elevated overlooking the Whicham Valley and surrounding mountains. Each pitch is level and has its own fire pit area for campfires and allows units up to 6m in length. Pitches are also available without electric in the Bramless and Little Mead fields, which offer minimal shelter but glorious unspoilt views. The roundhouse is custom built, and well-insulated to keep you snug in winter and cooler in summer. Sleeping up to four, the roundhouse offers a double bed, electric, heating, a log burner, and a fully equipped kitchen. Three Wigwam pods are also available onsite, with two pods sleeping four and one sleeping six. All the pods have an ensuite shower room and decking area with a hot tub! To the south is the Baystone Bank, where the farm name comes from. The ancient woodland on the bank and alongside the stream provides shelter for a wealth of birds and other wildlife. If you like the idea of a small and peaceful campsite based on a working farm with sheep and horses meandering around, and buzzards soaring overhead, look no further. Four-legged friends can also join you for your stay, with up to two allowed per pitch. BBQs are also permitted as long as they are raised from the ground!
Baystone Bank Farm Campsite is open all year round.
