Low Greenside Farm Campsite Reviews
"Camping as it used to be" sums up this quiet, eco-friendly, family-run site central to the Lakes and Dales. Spacious tent pitches, each with a fire pit, are set around the sides of a big meadow. Attractive, modern shower rooms and loos. There's also cosy glamping with private facilities in a separate field. Enjoy lovely views, natural surroundings and lots of space to play. Great walks from your tent, close to village pubs too. Pets welcome.

We loved our 3 day break staying in the beautiful bell tent with its own private garden. Magnus was an excellent host and really ensures you have everything you need to have a great holiday. The whole site is gorgeous and has everything you need to enjoy a peaceful stay. Looking forward to bringing our own tent for our next visit but would highly recommend the bell tent and the garden is amazing with double hammock, fire pit, picnic bench, and outside cooking area. Thanks for such a relaxing time!

A wonderful 4 night stay! The Green Bell Tent is set in it's own very private and very well equipped garden. Think double hammock, outdoor cooking equipment, picnic bench and luxurious sleeping quarters. The sheep and lambs will come to the fence when called and allow you to pet them. Partial to a custard cream!! Views across to Bowderdale and the north edge of the Howgill Fells, golden fields of wild flowers and two very good pubs within a short and pretty walk. Seriously well thought out and well executed. Comfortable glamping that offers privacy and a genuine feeling of a connection to nature and the outdoors. Thanks all.

We normally camp in the Lake District, but decided to look elsewhere this year as we thought (rightly) that the lakes would be too crowded. We booked Low Greenside based on the reviews and were not disappointed. The owners were very helpful and always happy to chat. The campsite is well laid out and all pitches are well spaced apart with a fire pit. The toilets and showers were always clean and tidy with plenty of hot water. Cars are left in the car park at the entrance, which meant that the site was always quiet and peaceful. We will definitely be heading back to this this one soon.

Thank you so much for your review. We're delighted that you enjoyed your 10 night stay and would like to come again, thank you. This is such a lovely unspoiled area with so many great walks to do from the campsite, and pretty towns and villages to visit with no traffic or parking problems. There's also excellent access for days out in both the Lakes and the Yorkshire Dales, then back for a peaceful evening round the campfire or a quiet pint in the village. So glad you found us and we look forward to seeing you again.
Tranquil and peaceful

A beautiful, well kept, clean and peaceful campsite. We stayed in the bell tent which is isolated from the rest of the campsite and a perfect hide away for couples. The firepit is fantastic to cook and sit by in the evening. Waking in the morning to make a cup of tea is amazing when you look around at the surrounding hills and valleys. Overall this is was a stunning break for us with walks a plenty and bicycle rides around the nearby village. Would recommend this whole heartedly to anyone wanting a break from the bustle of modern life.

This place is quiet and relaxing. And plenty of space for every tent, it is very spacious! Facilities are super clean and comfortable. Very modern composting toilets. Enough showers (nice and clean). Be prepared to do recycling:-) which I personally enjoy and support! Lovely and friendly people who run the place. Magnus is very creative... Even fire pit made from old alloy wheels. I find it very clever, and there was so much more... We very much enjoyed our stay and we defo recommend it. We had a bonus of lovely yellow flowers blooming around us but this lovely bonus depends on when you come to visit.

Thank you so much for your appreciative review and for being lovely guests. We enjoyed having you to stay. You're clearly keen on things being eco-friendly and we notice these days what a lot of other people are too - which is very pleasing and makes for considerate fellow campers, not to mention a cleaner planet! We look forward to seeing you again.
A fantastic site, one of the best!

I've been coming to this site for 9 years now. Amazing views, great facilities, reasonably priced.and.a ready made firepit! What more could you ask for? Great friendly staff! Magnus is always friendly, welcoming and helpful. One of the best sites in the UK, which is why it's our no. 1 favourite. P. S. Love the environmentally friendly ethos.

Stayed here for 3 nights this week and was blown away by the high standards both of the campsite itself and the local area. Magnus and his mum made us feel very welcome as did the sheep, friendly and warm. The field is huge and you can choose your own pitch with fire pit - so we felt our pitch was perfect to suit us and never too close to other campers. The facilities were spotless and kept this way throughout the day. I have never known a 'camping' loo block look and smell so clean. We were really impressed and will definitely be booking to stay here again. The per person price is such amazing value.

Magnus runs an excellent site, with toilets and showers pristine and cleaned multiple times each day. The pitches are well-spaced and the fire pits make for a cosy evening under the stars. Ravenstonedale has two excellent pubs and an ice cream farm - all within easy walking distance and very family friendly. Quiet hikes on the Howgill Fells and wild swimming in the Eden or Lune tributaries are a fantastic treat. We really enjoyed it and will be back!

Excellent time at Low Greenside Farm. From the moment we arrived until the day we left it felt though we where amongst friends. Great location for everything involved in the camping style we love as a couple. Plenty of great walks close by which all end near two great pubs in a close by local village. Relaxed site with fire facilities. The owners are fantastic and could not be more helpful. We never go back to the same place twice but will go back here without doubt.

Been staying at Low Greenside Farm for 10 years, it’s without doubt the best campsite I’ve stayed at, it’s why we go back at every opportunity! Toilets and showers are absolutely spotless. Magnus and Rosie are the best hosts you could hope for!

Thank you Graham. It's always a pleasure to have you and the family stay. Barry and Brenda Horn, our Rough Fell lambs, are missing you already - and especially missing the waffles and fig rolls! Look forward to seeing you again soon.

We had a lovely week here. Magnus is incredibly welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed the space, the buttercup meadows, the firebowls, the compost toilets, the recycling, the local pubs and walks, the careful management which creates an atmosphere of calm even in half-term week when it was fully booked. We also really liked that cars stay in the car park, and wheelbarrows are provided to take your stuff to your camping pitch. It makes a huge difference not to have cars on the site.
