Fantastic Location and Facilities
Small Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2026 Highly recommend this place. Lots of good spots for walking in the area! Definitely not one to miss.
Peaceful farm campsite with stunning views and great walks
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2026 An absolute gem if you're looking for a peaceful, scenic getaway! While the site is wonderfully remote, it's very easy to find using the postcode, and we received a warm welcome on arrival with a helpful rundown of the facilities and you get to choose your own pitch. Due to this there aren't any shops nearby, so stock up on supplies before you arrive.
We spent two nights here in a tent and found the site amazing, with gorgeous views and a lovely stream running right through it. The facilities are basic but perfectly clean, functional, and well-stocked with toilet paper, soap, and hand towels. There's a toilet block right on the field with unisex toilets and a shower, plus extra facilities by the farmhouse. You'll also find drinking water, a chemical disposal point, and rubbish bins on hand.
Because it's a working farm, it was a real treat to watch the sheep being herded in for the night. The site enforces a 10 PM quiet time. We had a slightly noisy group arrive late on our first night who stayed loud past midnight, which we figured was just opening-night excitement, but otherwise, everyone respected the quiet hours. Off-the-ground barbecues and firepits are allowed, as long as they're put out by 10:30 PM. Being so remote also means zero light pollution, which made for incredible stargazing.
Overall, I would recommend Birchbank if you want a quiet, relaxing stay in nature, and we will definitely be heading back!
Excellent site
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2026 Excellent site, we had it all to ourselves the first night. Then a few others after. The site is very remote and peaceful. Facilities are well maintained. Nice to see the sheep & plenty of bird life. Some very nice walks.
Fabulous views!
Large Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2026 Lovely campsite, very remote but has all the essentials needed such as toilets, showers and wash up area. The amenities were very clean and were cleaned regularly. It was such a peaceful stay with plenty of walks straight from the camp site.
Birchbank campsite
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2026 Lovely campsite. Lovely location and people.
Perfect campsite
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2026 The campsite is perfect for all the beginner, easy to access, clean toilet and shower facilities, 20 mins drive to nearest Aldi, highly recommend
Lovely place
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2026 Just really wanted somewhere to pitch or tent so we could go explore and it was lovely, really chill
Lovely campsite near coniston
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2026 Lovely campsite plenty of space for tge children to play while we set up. Walks from the site were lovely and it was near Coniston. Easy to find and service on site was great.
Beautiful scenic campsite
Large Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2026 The setting of this campsite is just beautiful. There is no road noise or light pollution; the only noise is that of the sheep!
The campsite has everything you need, although the showers and toilets are fairly basic- but they are cleaned several times a day and there is always plenty of loo roll and hand towels.
There's almost no mobile signal so may not be great for teenagers- although I welcomed the break from my phone pinging every five minutes! Very good value for money.
The hosts don't bother you or give you a list of rules like some campsites do. Very relaxed And an ideal spot for just chilling! I would stay here again.
Wonderful!
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2026 Magical location, plenty of space between pitches and helpful owner. We had a wonderful night and will be back.
lovely farm campsite
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2026 Stayed with my partner and friend, is a lovely farm, with nice facilities and an excellent price. Would easily stay again!
Thank you
Brilliant little site
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2026 We stayed just for 2 nights, plenty of space for all on site, no pushy owners saying where to pitch up, which is a lovely touch.
The owners were very friendly when we spoke to them and to say how busy the site was, maybe 30 tents, the showers and toilet facilities were well maintained and never messy.
A very peaceful location. The only downside, we didn't stay longer!
Beautiful small rural site
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2026 We loved this campsite. It had everything we needed which isn't much! We especially loved the walk to Beacon Tarn and being surrounded by beautiful countryside. If you're looking for a quiet rural campsite and you love walking and the lake district I'd highly recommend this site to you
Super campsite
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2026 Lovely quiet campsite in a beautiful location. Great for local walks and exploring the Southern Lakes. Facilities fairly basic but kept really clean.
Lovely campsite

Great spot on the Cumbria Way

Fantastic views

Great Site
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2026 Great site, I wouldn't hesitate to book this again. Good for walking & stunning views.
Nicely little campsite
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2026 Perfect little campsite to break our long drive up to the Scottish Highlands
A lovely quiet site
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2026 Lovely small quiet site with lovely views across the fells. Facilities were nothing fancy but very functional and clean - having access to washer, drier and fridge/freezer was fantastic and the showers were electric so were wonderful. I like the family bathroom cubicle too which gives families/people who need a bit more space room to shower/toilet - ideal for trying to get children showered without ending up drenched in a tiny cubicle!
Great campsite
Large Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2026 This is a lovely campsite, it's a little off the track so it is very isolated.
The facilities are clean and the showers are lovely. The pitches are nice and flat too. It's a working farm, so there is some animal noises, but that never bothered us.
No complaints about the site at all.
Nice and quiet little campsite
Large Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2026 My wife and I with our 5 young children camped here for 6 nights, along with my brother and his family. We really enjoyed it. It was quite windy for the first few nights and rained a good bit. Not the fault of the campsite, but it's located in the hills which perhaps was why it was more windy than elsewhere when out and about.
Off the beaten track a bit and very limited phone signal (which was a positive for multiple reasons).
Host was very nice and helpful and the site is well maintained. Facilities are basic, but includes what is needed - toilets, showers, dish wash area.
Not too far from the lakes or main towns with shops and other facilities. We were out on a lake a couple of days which was excellent.
No issues with bugs or wildlife for us. It is a working farm and there were some animals around, mostly sheep, that were a little noisy at times but not enough to impact us in anyway, including our sleep.
We would go again, but would hope for better weather! It's a roll of the dice in lake district though.
Great campsite in a lovely location
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2026 This is a lovely campsite set in stunning countryside. The facilities are clean and just what we required. The location was peaceful and a perfect base for what we wanted to do.
Lovely little farm
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2026 We had a great 2 night stay. Plenty of space so didn't feel like I was camping with the other people. Facilities where basic but very clean, it seemed like it had just been cleaned every time I went in
Perfectly peaceful site
Large Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2026 Beautiful campsite in such a peaceful location.
Would definitely stay again.
