Moss Side Farm Campsite

Fire pit at the pitch with amazing views

Small, quiet site on a working farm with scenic views near a village
Woodland valley with walks, bike rides and riding trails all around
Peaceful Lake District site; no music, groups, ball games or under-15s

Moss Side Farm Campsite, near Cumbria's Broughton-in-Furness, should hit the spot for hikers: it's in a woodland valley with many footpaths leading directly from the farm. And for watery types too, as the farm is in the Lake District, 10 minutes' drive from the nearest lake and 40 from Windermere. And for cyclists, and horse riders, and those who like smashing views of lakeland fells leading down to the Irish Sea… This is a small, friendly and family-run site on a working hill farm with working dogs along with ducks, goats, pigs and hens. Three ladies' and three gents' showers, a freezer and a washing-up area are among the site amenities, and campfires are permitted. Moss Farm's nearest village is Broughton-in-Furness, a seven-minute drive or 30 or so minute walk away; here guests can buy bread from the award-winning Broughton bakery and groceries and meat from a family-run butcher and grocer. The village also has three pubs, two of which serve food, plus a restaurant, two cafés, a petrol station, a post office, a bank and a gift shop. Quiet well-behaved dogs are welcome at Moss Farm as long as they're kept on leads while on site. No music or radios may be used at this peaceful site, and groups, ball games and kids under 15 are not allowed.

What customers say

This is a peaceful, adults-only, working farm campsite offering beautiful countryside views. Visitors consistently praise the friendly hosts and the charm of the roaming farm animals. Facilities are described as basic but clean and functional, with fire pits available for use. The site is well-located for local walks, with a village accessible via an old railway line. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, some mention the rustic nature of the facilities and occasional noise from farm activities.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The location was beautiful and peaceful, with friendly farm animals casually walking by, which made the stay feel even more special. The facilities were excellent too – clean showers, proper toilets, a fridge available for guests, and even places to charge your phone. A great spot for a relaxing getaway and I’d definitely return.

Disliked Nothing to dislike — everything was spot on

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We had a lovely stay. The host was super friendly on arrival and very accommodating throughout. We had a fantastic view from our campervan, which made the experience even better, and it was great to be able to use the fire pits. A really enjoyable visit and we would definitely recommend it.

Disliked Nothing really. Facilities were as expected for this type of environment.

Local attractions

Of the many footpaths straight from the farm, the main one is the Foxfield to Broughton route along a disused railway line right into Broughton. Other paths can take you to the Broughton Mills area, Seathwaite valley and Ulpha valley; ask the Moss Farm team to point you in the right direction. If you're in the area for watersports, Coniston Lake, the third biggest in the Lake District, is the closest to the farm and is 10 minutes' drive away. Otherwise try pony trekking at Spoon Hall near Coniston, Muirthwaite Green at Silecroft or Cumbrian Heavy Horses in the Whicham Valley, all within 15 minutes' drive. Historic house fans have many in the area to pick from, like Muncaster Castle, Sizer Castle, Holker Hall and Levens Hall, as well as many National Trust houses such as Dove House in Grasmere, home of daffs man William Wordsworth. The towns of Windermere and Ambleside are about 20 minutes' drive away, as is South Lakes Animal Park at Dalton-in-Furness, an attractive option for animal fans. The staff at the Broughton-in-Furness tourist information centre can give you tips on what's best to see and do.
