About Hazel Mount Fellside
Get back to nature at this eco friendly, off-grid campsite. On the boundary of the Lake District National Park, the site is nestled between glorious beaches and picturesque walking country, the best of both worlds! Three smaller pitches, Foxglove, Snowdrop and Bluebell are spaced among wildflowers and trees. Each of these pitches welcome smaller tents and up to three guests. Bluebell is the most secluded and has the perk of being shaded during the day by nearby trees. Due to its location, this is the only pitch where BBQs and fire pits are not allowed. For families and groups of up to four, Primrose pitch allows a large family tent or a few smaller ones together, with stunning views over the estuary and Black Combe. Larger groups of up to eight can hire Daisy Camp. This spacious large grass pitch sits at the front of the site with wonderful panoramic estuary views and a private kitchen area with a sunken fire pit. Up to eight guests can pitch up here, with multiple tents allowed. A large BBQ and smoker can be hired if you wish to take your outdoor cooking to the next level. If you want the whole place to yourself, Hazel Mount Fellside also welcomes exclusive site hire, allowing up to 20 guests at a time. The site has the environment and local wildlife at its forefront. The site is designed to not affect its surroundings, but this does mean the terrain can be a little wild so be sure to pack trainers or walking boots. BBQs and fire pits are available to hire onsite, perfect for a spot of al fresco cooking. Great for toasting marshmallows and just taking in the breathtaking views while waiting to enjoy the night sky. Dogs are allowed too, with plenty of walking routes for you and your four-legged friends.
Hazel Mount is open for the weekend of 12th April, from 24th May to June 2nd and then from 17th July to 1st September.
Site facilities include two compost loos and portable solar showers on request (please note these will only work if the sun shines). Extra loos are installed when the site is fully booked. Bottled drinking water is supplied for the first night, with tap water freely available for washing and cleaning.
There is a small lending library stocked with items such as games, blankets and some extras, that campers are welcome to borrow during their stay. Please note, there are no bins on site but there is a small recycling station to lighten your load.
For picking up any essentials, Tesco in Millom is ten minutes drive away or explore the handful of local shops in Broughton in Furness. The nearest pub is The Punch Bowl Inn, a 30 minute walk or a few minutes drive away.

Amazing view in every direction just from the tent, it was easy to find and the owner was very nice and helpful, plus the sheep are very cute :)

Thank you for leaving a lovely review, Miriam. So glad you enjoyed your stay at my little plot of paradise. The sheep are cute but hopefully I'll have cuteness overload soon with some chicks - my gorgeous little hen Pumpkin is currently sitting on a clutch. You'll have to come back and see for yourself. Until then, all the very best, Ruth
Wonderful stay in the Lake District

I cannot recommend this campsite enough. The spot had a very secluded vibe while still being within driving distance to plenty of hiking spots and towns. Ruth was a fantastic host and made us feel so welcome. This trip was my friend's first time camping in a number of years and she left inspired to do some more camping on her own! Thanks Ruth!

Thank you for a lovely review, Laura. So glad you both enjoyed your stay at my little plot of paradise. Fantastic to hear more camping trips are now on the agenda! Thank you also for keeping the sheep out of my hay meadow, very much appreciated. Am still waiting on the better weather to return so I can harvest it. Look forward to welcoming you both back, and Toasty. Until then, all the very best, Ruth.

Ruth is a lovely welcoming host that couldn't do enough to help. Bottled drinking water was provided on arrival and you could hire a BBQ and charcoal for our pitch for £5. The campsite was quiet and remote and the views are beautiful. We didn't use the solar shower due to the rain but the shower cubicle was very clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning soon. Thank you again.

Thank you for leaving a lovely review and your incredibly thoughtful card, Catherine and Zoe. I have it pride of place at home and often read it especially when I'm having a tough day. It was a pleasure to meet you both, and would be lovely to welcome you back. Until then, all the very best, Ruth.

Things to do on site and in the Millom area
When the sun is shining, a day at the beach is a must. Haverigg and Silecroft beaches are just 15 minutes away. Being dog friendly, they are perfect for a morning walk, an afternoon swim or a spot of sunbathing.
Keen walkers will be spoilt for choice being on the edge of the Lake District National Park. Black Combe is just five minutes away, reaching a great 600m in height, the peak offers glorious views across the surrounding park and Cumbrian coast. On clear days, the Isle of Man, Dumfries and Galloway coastline can also be seen, and if you're really lucky, the northern edge of Wales.
For those wanting a more gentle trip out, Holker Hall and Gardens are a 35 minute drive away. The grand house offers guided tours with fine art from throughout the ages and glorious, manicured gardens, great for a picnic. Further up the coast there's also Muncaster Castle, home to the Hawk and Owl Centre.
