About Baystone Bank Farm Campsite
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.
Toilets include three individual large areas for the ladies and an area for men with two cubicles and a urinal. There are four private shower cubicles available, each with hot running water, a changing bench, sink, mirror and hooks for hanging clothes and bags. Washing up facilities with three double sinks and drying space are also available.
There is an onsite cafe serving hot/cold food and drinks. For the essentials, there is an onsite shop selling food items (including ingredients for breakfast) and camping equipment. Both are only open from April to the start of September.
A ten minute drive away you will also find Broughton-in-Furness with a selection of local shops and eateries, including the Old Kings Head. Cumbrian Heavy Horses is also next door to the site where you can book riding experiences.

We booked this site because we were planning on exploring the South Western Lakes. It was perfect. Great location for what we wanted. The facilities, though basic, were clean and well maintained. It had electric hook up, a chemical toilet disposal tank, fresh water and a shop/cafe to get the basics. We were greeted by Jamie, very helpful and friendly. Well worth a visit.
A true gem in the Lake District

An absolutely amazing stay at Baystone Bank. We spent 4 nights at the site in a tent by the stream and have no complaints at all. The small shop is well stocked and the food was lovely, the location of the site is perfect and relatively close to all main sites you want to visit and there are some amazing walks nearby. We certainly will return and will recommend to all who think about coming to the Lake District.

We have been several times and love the campsite. It is a traditional family campsite in a beautiful setting and very peaceful. The heavy horses are a great bonus too.
