Moss Side Farm Campsite Reviews
Moss Side Farm Campsite sits in the beautiful southern fells of the Lake District National Park. Quietly nestled in scenic Woodland Valley, close to Coniston. Views here are second to none. This small, family-run campsite is a traditional Lakeland Hill farm with sheep, cows, horses, ducks, pigs and hens onsite. There are many beautiful footpaths leading to and from the site, as well as space to relax and explore.

Brilliant campsite as part of a farm. Nice to be able to walk to the local village off road the whole way and a quick drive to Coniston. Clean toilets and showers with hot water. Lovely host who was very helpful.

Lovely stay at this campsite over the weekend with our friends. Great facilities that don't get too busy, firewood available to buy and gorgeous dogs who love to come for a cuddle! Great owner, who is very friendly too, immaculate vibes and fantastic views of the lakes.

First time camping in our van, friendly welcome, told we could choose were to park then left to get on with our stay. The campsite is on a working farm. Being spring, we got to see the lamb's in the surrounding fields and as it had been wet weather, the cows were still in the farm building, including a calf. We had a 40 minute walk through beautiful countryside, passing sheep and horses in the fields and a scenic lake area along the disused railway to Broughton in Furness, were there was a cafe, pubs with food, butchers, post office, deli and garage. We had fun cooking outside and we're allowed a raised camp fire, we had taken our own, but wood was available to buy from the farm house. We had a visit from the farm dogs both mornings of our stay, 2 border collies and and three terriers, before they went on their rounds of the other guests, proper characters. So peaceful, we had a great night's sleep and the hosts were always available if we had needed them.
Really unique experience thanks was great!

We stayed in a railway wagon and loved it. A cosy log burner, comfy (standard double) bed and well lit. Tucked away on a working farm, it is basic but very clean and comfy, all we needed to be able to camp in October. Great powerful, hot showers, hot water washing up area, wood available to buy and a few ducks to chat to! A good location to explore the southern Lake District with thoughtful, helpful hosts.
Lovely view

The pitch we had gave us lovely views across the fields to the mountains in the distance. Lovely spot for star gazing. Facilities were very basic and very little in ways of places to eat/drink locally. Hosts friendly and helpful. There was wood for sale on site for an open fire which was good. Negative was the awful smell from a rubbish filled skip you had to pass on way to toilets and showers.
Definitely recommend

Lovely site, super views. Toilets and showers a little rudimentary - no hot water on second morning. Fire pits available to most pitches which created a lovely atmosphere.
Loved it!

We stayed in the rail cart and we loved it. We had our own firepit and picnic bench and chairs outside, the views were amazing. The best bit was all the animals roaming around, the goats and the farm dogs and chickens. The showers and oilers were clean and there was a communal area to charge devices....had the best time here and would definitely go back 😊
Lovely, wild site

Absolutely gorgeous views to wake up to. Lovely area out in the countryside. Left to your own devices but the greeting and the help was lovely. The animals there freely wander around making it fun and feels like you are wild camping but with facilities available.
Simply the best

Pitches overlooking a beautiful valley. Goats wandering around and lambs to say hi to. Exactly what I was after. And only a short, maybe 25min, drive into Ambleside.

Great location with friendly hosts. However, the facilities were very basic and there was no evidence that they had been cleaned before or during our stay.

Lovely stay, really good facilities. We stayed in a rail cabin which I couldn't recommend more with a great log burner to keep the chill off in April.

My friend and I stayed at this camp site for the bank holiday weekend which was just perfect. The site is on a working farm with multiple animals and it was so fun to see the animals every morning. The owner was very polite and welcoming when we arrived and she asked us to pitch any where we liked! The facilities were basic but clean and all you can expect for the great price we paid for the weekend. One slight issue was the water pressure dropped slightly if more than one shower was running at a time. However, we still had a great time staying here, the location was great for Coniston and the little village of Broughton. The site was so peaceful and quiet which was really enjoyable for a relaxing weekend (except for the cockerels at 5am). There was lots of walks to do from the campsite and it was also quite easy to navigate to the main roads via car.
Perfect stay!

We had an issue with our tent pegs going into the ground, so Louise kindly put us up in the cabin. We had a great stay and a great location for Scafell Pike. Thanks again.

Nice quiet location, lovely views. Just keep in mind there are no local amenities or pubs, the closest is a 40 mins walk (6min drive). Would stay again.
