About the site
At the foot of the Howgill Fells in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this site is perfect for a relaxed camping or glamping holiday for couples, families or friends. This beautiful, quiet, unspoiled area is ideal for exploring both the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District - but with none of their hustle and bustle. Large areas of grass in the centre of the camping field are kept long as a meadow for wildlife (and for children to roll about in!), and there is a programme of planting native trees, shrubs, and wildflowers. The owners are proud to have a Silver Award from the Green Tourism Scheme. Large pitches for tents and three campervan pitches are positioned around the central meadow, leaving plenty of room for everyone to enjoy in peace. The site is justly proud that many visitors return year after year or several times a year. After a day out exploring, return home to a peaceful campsite to watch the sunset and enjoy life's simple pleasures while swallows swoop across the meadow. The friendly sheep are very happy to be fed bits of bread and will come trotting over when they see you. If you're lucky, you'll see a red squirrel popping along the drystone walls. Wander down to one of the two village pubs or light your campfire, toast your marshmallows and wait for the stars to come out in an inky black sky. The campsite is in an International Dark Skies Reserve and is a Dark Sky Business. There are two options for glampers - Far Field Yurt for couples or families, and Green Bell Tent for couples only. Both offer the chance to relax in peace, comfort and privacy while surrounded by nature! What could be better? The yurt and bell tent are in a separate field framed by a little woodland behind and a meadow with gorgeous views in front. They are separated by a block of trees. Each has its own fully equipped kitchen (including cool box with ice blocks provided) and bijou private composting toilet. They also have their own private garden areas with a campfire and BBQ, lovely double hammock (great for stargazing!), picnic table and seating. All glamping is off-grid with solar powered lighting and phone charging. Far Field Yurt is fully insulated and beautifully equipped for couples or families. Inside is light and spacious, with large windows and a clear central roof dome for stargazing. Furnished with a wood burning stove to keep you toasty warm, handmade and vintage furniture, and comfy modern beds. The yurt's kitchen hut is equipped to cook proper meals for up to five people. It has a fully made-up double bed. Pillows and a bottom sheet are provided for up to three single beds. A cot is available on request. Like the yurt, Green Bell Tent is spacious, comfy, and very private with its own kitchen and garden. It has a fully made up comfy double bed, carpet and cosy furnishings.

We are so glad we found Low Greenside. The listing gives a great sense of what's to come. The site designer has clearly spent considerable time and energy to present the site in the best possible way and is truly representative of this fantastic site. On arrival we were met by Magnus. What an absolute gent. Nothing was too much trouble and his friendly warm manner shone through. The site was spotless, as were the facilities (yes Magnus, we saw you cleaning at midnight 🤗). Hot showers and immaculate washing up area, secure phone charging and plentiful recycling facilities. Compost type loos were immaculate too. We parked on the hard standing with our van which was firm. grass covered and immaculate. The grass site was well cared for, walls in tact, grass mown and numerous patches left to rewilding. Definitely recommend the campsite guide book to local walks. Completed several which were well described and easy to follow. Viaduct one was really good. Both pubs in the village ( 10 min walk if that) were of great, with very warm welcomes. We cannot rate this site highly enough and are very much looking forward to returning before too long. Thank you Magnus and Magnus' mum for a great stay. We wish you every success for the future. Best wishes - Rich, Rosalie and Islay.

The campsite is set in a stunning location with no noise pollution and minimal light pollution. Surrounding areas are lovely and we found it easy to get to the Lake District, and the North Pennines. The facilities are brilliant, with hot showers, washing up area and fresh clean toilets. Hosts were very accommodating letting us choose our pitch and allowing us to extend our stay at short notice. Also, dog friendly! Would highly recommend and can't wait to come back!

We had a lovely stay here. The campsite has great views and is very picturesque. No cars are allowed on the field, so wheelbarrows are provided for carrying your things. Each pitch has a fire pit which is great. The toilets, showers and washing up facilities were great, lovely and modern and clean - no matter what time we used them. There were good recycling options which was good to see and helped reduce our waste. There are lots of lovely walks nearby and we found a short walk through fields to the village where there are two lovely pubs. Great site, we would stay again.
