Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches May 2024 One of the loveliest campsites we have stayed at. Walkable to a local village, and all the attractions of the Lake District a short drive away. It's a working farm so there were lots of cute animals roaming. The view was stunning and the surrounding walks were too.
Lovely countryside camping
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Mar 2024 First time camping in our van, friendly welcome, told we could choose were to park then left to get on with our stay.
The campsite is on a working farm. Being spring, we got to see the lamb's in the surrounding fields and as it had been wet weather, the cows were still in the farm building, including a calf.
We had a 40 minute walk through beautiful countryside, passing sheep and horses in the fields and a scenic lake area along the disused railway to Broughton in Furness, were there was a cafe, pubs with food, butchers, post office, deli and garage.
We had fun cooking outside and we're allowed a raised camp fire, we had taken our own, but wood was available to buy from the farm house. We had a visit from the farm dogs both mornings of our stay, 2 border collies and and three terriers, before they went on their rounds of the other guests, proper characters.
So peaceful, we had a great night's sleep and the hosts were always available if we had needed them.
Fantastic location and a lovely host
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Mar 2024 Brilliant campsite as part of a farm. Nice to be able to walk to the local village off road the whole way and a quick drive to Coniston. Clean toilets and showers with hot water. Lovely host who was very helpful.
Really unique experience thanks was great!
Glamping - Rail Cabins (Dog Friendly) Mar 2024 A really nice couple of days here to finish off our week in the Lake District.
I would recommend 🙂
Great place
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jan 2024 An amazing campsite. Perfect setting and owners were very helpful.
A wonderful place
Glamping - Rail Cabins (Dog Friendly) Oct 2023 We stayed in a railway wagon and loved it. A cosy log burner, comfy (standard double) bed and well lit. Tucked away on a working farm, it is basic but very clean and comfy, all we needed to be able to camp in October.
Great powerful, hot showers, hot water washing up area, wood available to buy and a few ducks to chat to!
A good location to explore the southern Lake District with thoughtful, helpful hosts.
Lovely view VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2023 The pitch we had gave us lovely views across the fields to the mountains in the distance. Lovely spot for star gazing.
Facilities were very basic and very little in ways of places to eat/drink locally. Hosts friendly and helpful.
There was wood for sale on site for an open fire which was good.
Negative was the awful smell from a rubbish filled skip you had to pass on way to toilets and showers.
Definitely recommend
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 Lovely destination. Owner was very helpful and friendly, facilities were exactly what you would need and overall very spacious. Also lovely to see all the farm animals around.
Fantastic stay
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 Lovely stay at this campsite over the weekend with our friends. Great facilities that don't get too busy, firewood available to buy and gorgeous dogs who love to come for a cuddle! Great owner, who is very friendly too, immaculate vibes and fantastic views of the lakes.
Peaceful getaway
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 Despite the rain we really enjoyed Moss Side, a tucked away gem, but don’t tell anyone!
Lovely location, nice atmosphere
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 Lovely site, super views.
Toilets and showers a little rudimentary - no hot water on second morning.
Fire pits available to most pitches which created a lovely atmosphere.
Loved it!
Glamping - Rail Cabins (Dog Friendly) Aug 2023 We stayed in the rail cart and we loved it. We had our own firepit and picnic bench and chairs outside, the views were amazing. The best bit was all the animals roaming around, the goats and the farm dogs and chickens. The showers and oilers were clean and there was a communal area to charge devices....had the best time here and would definitely go back 😊
Lovely, wild site
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2023 Lovely, remote campsite. Very casual. Good facilities. Would recommend and stay again.

Fantastic
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2023 Lovely place, real character! Very welcoming and kind
Beautiful camping in the Lakes
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches May 2023 Absolutely gorgeous views to wake up to. Lovely area out in the countryside. Left to your own devices but the greeting and the help was lovely.
The animals there freely wander around making it fun and feels like you are wild camping but with facilities available.
Simply the best
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches May 2023 Amazing location with a stunning view and level pitches and great shower facilities. Louise was very helpful and responsive to our various requests for firewood and even some chairs to borrow. Will be coming back for sure
Great views, well equipped
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches May 2023 Pitches overlooking a beautiful valley. Goats wandering around and lambs to say hi to. Exactly what I was after. And only a short, maybe 25min, drive into Ambleside.
Weekend stay VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Apr 2023 Very basic facilities.
Great location but potential for better facilities. VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Apr 2023 Great location with friendly hosts. However, the facilities were very basic and there was no evidence that they had been cleaned before or during our stay.
Fantastic
Glamping - Rail Cabins (Dog Friendly) Apr 2023 Lovely stay, really good facilities.
We stayed in a rail cabin which I couldn't recommend more with a great log burner to keep the chill off in April.
Lovely bank holiday
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Apr 2023 My friend and I stayed at this camp site for the bank holiday weekend which was just perfect. The site is on a working farm with multiple animals and it was so fun to see the animals every morning. The owner was very polite and welcoming when we arrived and she asked us to pitch any where we liked!
The facilities were basic but clean and all you can expect for the great price we paid for the weekend. One slight issue was the water pressure dropped slightly if more than one shower was running at a time.
However, we still had a great time staying here, the location was great for Coniston and the little village of Broughton. The site was so peaceful and quiet which was really enjoyable for a relaxing weekend (except for the cockerels at 5am).
There was lots of walks to do from the campsite and it was also quite easy to navigate to the main roads via car.
Perfect stay!
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Apr 2023 Fantastic stay hosts were really accommodating and the view was absolutely amazing ! Would definitely recommend to anyone staying around there!
Great stay
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Apr 2023 We had an issue with our tent pegs going into the ground, so Louise kindly put us up in the cabin.
We had a great stay and a great location for Scafell Pike. Thanks again.
