A small yet simple and scenic site with lakeside views, Side Farm is sandwiched between the beauty of Ullswater and Place Fell. Languish in the peace and tranquillity or use this as your perfect, dog friendly base for boating, canoeing and great walks.
About the site
There are flat pitches to be had here on grass and the site overlooks shimmering Ullswater itself. Soak up the tranquillity with the simplicity of a non electric pitch. The site isn't suitable for large vehicles, but it's perfect for tents and small day van type campervans. No advance bookings here, it's a turn up and pitch (rather than book) kind of place. Do get there early on bank holiday weekends, as things can get busy!
The site is open from Easter to October.
There are 70 accommodation options on-site

70 x Non Electric Grass Pitches
Grass pitches for tents and small to medium campervans only.
