About the site

At the foot of the Howgill Fells in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this site is perfect for a relaxed camping or glamping holiday for couples, families or friends. This beautiful, quiet, unspoiled area is ideal for exploring both the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District - but with none of their hustle and bustle. Large areas of grass in the centre of the camping field are kept long as a meadow for wildlife (and for children to roll about in!), and there is a programme of planting native trees, shrubs, and wildflowers. The owners are proud to have a Silver Award from the Green Tourism Scheme. Large pitches for tents and three campervan pitches are positioned around the central meadow, leaving plenty of room for everyone to enjoy in peace. The site is justly proud that many visitors return year after year or several times a year. After a day out exploring, return home to a peaceful campsite to watch the sunset and enjoy life's simple pleasures while swallows swoop across the meadow. The friendly sheep are very happy to be fed bits of bread and will come trotting over when they see you. If you're lucky, you'll see a red squirrel popping along the dry stone walls. Wander down to one of the two village pubs or light your campfire, toast your marshmallows and wait for the stars to come out in an inky black sky. The campsite is in an International Dark Skies Reserve and is a Dark Sky Business. There are two options for glampers - the Far Field Yurt for couples or families, and the Green Bell Tent for couples only. Both offer the chance to relax in peace, comfort and privacy while surrounded by nature! What could be better? The yurt and bell tent are in a separate field framed by a little woodland behind and a meadow with gorgeous views in front. They are separated by a block of trees. Each has its own fully equipped kitchen (including a cool box with ice blocks provided) and a bijou private composting toilet. They also have their own private garden areas with a campfire and BBQ, a lovely double hammock (great for stargazing!), a picnic table and seating. All glamping is off-grid with solar powered lighting and phone charging. Far Field Yurt is fully insulated and beautifully equipped for couples or families. Inside is light and spacious, with large windows and a clear central roof dome for stargazing. Furnished with a wood burning stove to keep you toasty warm, handmade and vintage furniture, and comfy modern beds. The yurt's kitchen hut is equipped to cook proper meals for up to five people. It has a fully made-up double bed. Pillows and a bottom sheet are provided for up to three single beds. A cot is available on request. Like the yurt, the Green Bell Tent is spacious, comfy, and very private with its own kitchen and garden. It has a fully made up comfy double bed, carpet and cosy furnishings.

Pitches and the yurt are available from start of April, the bell tent from the end of April. The site closes 27th September. Pitches from £18/night for 2 people.

Medium Tent - Non Electric Extra Large Grass Tent PitchesMay 2026

Low Greenside Farm Campsite was the perfect campsite for our trip. The facilities were exactly what they said they would be, but even cleaner than i expected, Magnus and co were all so friendly and genuinely cared which was so nice to see. This was my girlfriend's first ever time camping and she was worried as it was such a new experience for her but she absolutely lovely it. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful campsite

Yurt - Far Field YurtAug 2025

We stayed at Low Greenside Farm for a long weekend in the yurt. The yurt is beautiful with great facilities and lots of little touches that make it a real glamping experience. Magnus is very welcoming and showed us around when we arrived. The weather wasn't the kindest but we managed to get one evening out by the campfire with amazing views over the Dales. The showers for the wider campsite are amazing - really clean and well thought-out. The location is great for walking routes and days out. I would absolutely recommend this campsite.

Site's response

Thanks for your hearty recommendation, Julie. We're so pleased you enjoyed staying in Far Field Yurt and got a bit of decent weather for the campfire. Many thanks for saying how much you liked your experience and the facilities. Hope to see you again!

Overall a pleasant experience!

Medium Tent - Non Electric Large Grass Tent PitchesAug 2025

This campsite was beautiful. Beautiful views a lovely pub just a short walk away love that it's a working farm so got to see farmers at work on nearby fields. The shower facilities were amazing. A hot shower that felt like it was clean and a very decent size! My only two complaints would be the toilet seats in the compost loos and the unreliable charging stations. The toilet loo seats were really uncomfortable to sit on. There were about 12 lockers cubbies with two USB ports and a plug, which was a very pleasant surprise. However, it seemed that the plugs or USB slots were only on at certain times during the day as when getting a shower in the early morning (around 7am) I put my phone and battery bank into the ports and didn't charge at all. This had happened a few times during the day! It seemed to not charge at night too as I had left it for about 2 hours and went back around 10pm and only charged slightly. It was a bit frustrating, especially when you'd need to time it well as other people could use up all of the lockers, so was a tad annoying. But we were able to charge things in my car when travelling so wasn't too bad , ust a slight inconvenience. Overall, I would recommend this campsite, just bring extra power banks in case you can't charge it!

Site's response

Thank you for your review Jemma, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay with us. It's usually some good entertainment seeing the farmers move thier sheep around. We're very proud of our new shower block and it's nice to hear the generous sized shower rooms are appreciated. Our loo seats are specially designed because of the type of toilets that we have here, they can be unusual at first but everyone commends us on how clean and well maintained they are. That's very unusual about the charging lockers. They are never switched off, they are on mains power so will always have plenty of power to charge everything. I have just been to check each of the sockets and all seem to be working fine. I can only imagine you might have a dodgy charging cable. Thank you for the heads up though and I hope we'll see you another time.

A note from the site themselves...

We have lived at Low Greenside for over 40 years. Magnus is a third generation camper and the second generation to run the campsite, and he really loves doing it. We get the nicest people coming to stay - quietly sociable and considerate of fellow campers - and they make it a delight. We love this place and this area and we want you to love it too!

Ever since it began about 20 years ago, the campsite strap line has been 'Camping as it used to be'. We believe in keeping things simple while providing all the essentials of comfortable camping to the highest standard. Otherwise, the camping field and glamping are kept free of virtually anything but grass, trees, wildflowers, birds, and passing wildlife.

This leaves you free to enjoy proper, peaceful camping with uninterrupted views in the daytime and dark starry skies and a campfire at night - Camping as it used to be. It's what we like ourselves and it seems to appeal to really nice and well behaved people. Win win!

We think it's important for businesses to do their bit in the world and so we're very proud to have achieved a Silver Award for Green Tourism. The Award highlights how we take care of and enhance the natural environment by creating better spaces for nature to flourish, how we reduce our impact on the climate, and how we support local businesses and ethical suppliers.

We also produce a booklet of 'Nine Great Walks' from the campsite to help you enjoy our lovely countryside on foot. Proceeds from this go to support Tiyeni, a charity in Malawi that helps subsistence farmers to increase food production and soil health through sustainable organic farming.

Things to do on site and in the Kirkby Stephen area

There's plenty to see and do in this lovely corner of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, with pretty villages and interesting market towns to explore, lots of nice little shops and cafes with friendly people running them. You'll find the roads quiet, no parking problems, and walking very peaceful.

The campsite offers a useful walking guide - Nine Great Walks from Low Greenside (£3). Smardale Ghyll Nature Reserve is a great walk from the farm, crossing a big old railway viaduct - see massive lime kilns, lots of wildflowers and rare butterflies. Boweberhead Nature Reserve, with its beautiful upland hay meadows and re-wiggled beck, is another popular route.

There's a lovely, informal, and inexpensive 9/18 hole golf course (clubs available free of charge at the campsite), a public tennis court (bring racquets), a children's playground, an interesting church with monastic ruins, and an art gallery with coffee and homemade cakes. Catch a vintage bus from the village to visit Kendal or Barnard Castle on weekly market days.

Nearby is Bessy Beck Trout Farm, where you can fish - catch one and BBQ it on your campfire!

In Kirkby Stephen (10 minutes), you can shop locally for everything you're likely to need. There are lots of cafes and small shops to explore. Visit the little railway museum free of charge and ride on a steam train.

The Eden Valley is lovely to explore, with quiet roads, pretty villages, small attractions, and unspoiled and varied countryside. Appleby and Sedbergh are both nearby and worth visiting. Far Field Mill Arts and Heritage Centre near Sedbergh is a place to stop for tea on a return trip from Hawes, where there is lots to see and do.
