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.

We absolutely loved our stay on this site. Beautiful views from every angle and walks right from the site, so you don't have to drive anywhere. The toilets and showers were spotless. Would definitely recommend this site to anyone wanting a peaceful away from it all location. A trip to Beacon Tarn is well worth a visit.

Beautiful location a little off the beaten track, with friendly welcoming owners. This is a quiet site and no noise by 10:00pm. Ideal for families of all ages. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend.

Just loved this site. Two miles off the main road along winding single track road through the hills and moors. Fairly small site but plenty of space between pitches and lovely views. Friendly welcome. Facilities are basic but kept immaculately clean, and included washing machine, tumble drier, fridge and freezer for freezer packs. Beautiful walks in all directions from the site. The site is on a working farm so expect the background sound of cows, sheep, tractors and loads of bird song. For anyone who likes the idea of wild camping but still loves a hot shower and clean toilets, this is perfect.

If you want a place in the middle of South Lakes farmland, this is ideal. Placed in a good location for walkers, or those wanting to ramble in the countryside. A quiet location, only farm animals and occasional farm machinery with early morning songbirds. One piece of advice, please be respectful of the simple suggestions about the quiet nature of the site. Unfortunately we were camping next to someone who thought it would be a good idea to fly his drone at 7.15am and then again at 10pm!

We stayed at this campsite in June 2022 with our two small dogs. It has the most stunning views, and the toilets and showers are always kept clean and has toilet rolls. Nice to see the farm running. If you are a walker, there's lots of walking routes. Very spacious too, not so close to each other. We arrived early to pitch our tent and, as the previous pitchers had left, we could pitch up when we arrived. Nice to see the sunset going down. You have to walk over the hill to receive your Wifi or telephone reception. But it is nice to get away and have no reception on your telephone for a while. Owners are lovely too if you need anything they will help. Our table had broken and got some glue from the owners.

Nice campsite, with lovely views. It is out of the way, so very quiet. Lovely to hear the farm animals and the cuckoo in the morning. Owner was very welcoming. Shared toilet facilities but wasn't a problem. 😊

Lovely, quiet, small campsite surrounded by farmland. 20-30 min drive to Coniston on pretty little roads. Hot showers, very clean and tidy.

We had a brilliant stay. Quiet and peaceful site. Back-to-basics vibes but with clean facilities. We were pleased that pitches are so far apart and all campers were spread out across two fields. Lovely walks nearby and the stream running through the middle was perfect for our toddler to play and splash. 15 minute drive from the gorgeous Ulverston Town centre which has everything you would need. Showers were free and never any queue for the toilets. Washing up area was spotless. The cows in the barn were brilliant background noise. We will definitely visit again.

Little campsite on a farm in unspoilt countryside with amazing views and walks. Basic facilities but very clean, with easy access to lots of local sightseeing places. Thank you for a lovely stress-free break.

This was our second visit to Birchbank campsite, having returned as we had enjoyed it so much the first time around. The location is absolutely breathtaking. The campsite was quiet as it was nearing the end of season so we had a choice of pitches all of which are very spacious. The owners were away but their son was available if we had any issues, which we didn't.. washing up and laundry facilities available and always kept very clean as are the toilet and shower block. We shall return in 2022.

The toilet facilities were so clean and impeccably maintained. Always hot water and truly so clean! Washing up facilities were brilliant and so was the local information available. The pitch was perfect, dark skies and nothing around for miles!

I would definitely recommend this site and would love to stay again. Being far off the beaten track makes it a perfect stay with stunning views of The Fells to boot.
