Campsite aerial

Birchbank is a small campsite on a Lake District sheep farm, located on the fells between Coniston Water and the Duddon Estuary. The site has a small stream running through it which the children love to play in and is next to the fell, with footpaths and bridleways directly from the gate making it ideal for walking and cycling.

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2025

Excellent site, quiet and very basic, but had exactly what we needed and wanted out of our stay. Our only criticism is that we arrived late and all the level pitches were taken. Only three showers and three toilets, but we never had to wait to use one! Freezer and fridge available to use as well as a washing machine.

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2025

Loved this very rural site… brilliant location and adequate facilities. The only thing I didn’t like was they only provide mixed toilet and shower blocks. I don’t like mixed as I hate having to take our 7 year old granddaughter into toilets/showers men have been in. I also don’t like this for myself. I don’t think it is acceptable.

Amazing location

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2025

Lovely site in a beautiful location, quiet area but has easy access to nearby towns like Ulverston. Basic but functional utilities (has fridge freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer at £5 per use), and as we were staying in a tent, we especially found the washing up area to be a nice and helpful addition. Only complaints would be it was somewhat hard to get in touch with the site owner when needed, considering the lack of phone signal — an alternative line of communication could definitely have been helpful as we were a little confused about a couple of things upon arrival, and water pressure can be very low at times in showers when multiple people are using the bathroom at one time. Overall, would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a quiet and relaxing stay in a lovely rural location!

Great place

Really friendly staff. Beautiful location in Ulverston (barely anything away from old man of Coniston). Basic yet exceptionally well maintained facilities. Would highly recommend.

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJun 2025

Good old camping, with little touches which made it even better. Pick your own pitch in the non-electric area. On a working farm so busy but nothing noticeable. Surrounded by hills and sheep. Site owner lovely and friendly and answered questions we had about happenings on the farm. Toilets clean, good showers and washing up room. Added bonus, washing machine and dryer with honesty box and there was a fridge and freezer for all to use. Brilliant, thank you

Fabulous location for a much quieter camping experience

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesJun 2025

A lovely site, well looked after, with clean toileting facilities, pleasant camping spaces, and friendly welcome. Could benefit from additional toilets when the site is busy, and the lack of phone reception or WIFI facilities will deter some and attract others!

Lovely

Roof Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJun 2025

We only arrived at 5pm due to delays and stress, but as you come over the hills and drop down the drive to the camp, nothing else matters. Great little place hidden away with nothing but rolling hills around it. Everyone was very friendly and the facilities give you everything needed. As we arrived, several children were playing in the stream and despite the cold, they looked to be having a great time. Plenty of pleasant people enjoying a little break at this site. It was a shame to pack up so early and carry on as there was a lot to explore. We will definitely head back next time we are in the area for another night.

Fantastic Site
