  • 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 friendly, working farm campsite in a beautiful, peaceful location with stunning views. Guests love the roaming farm animals, fire pits, and the option to choose their own pitch. The site offers a rustic charm and is a great base for exploring the local area, with a pleasant walk to Broughton village. Facilities are described as basic but adequate, though some visitors suggest an update is needed for the toilet and shower blocks. The welcoming and helpful host, Louise, receives consistent praise. Some minor issues, such as rocky ground for pegs and occasional farm dog interactions, are noted.

Liked Very peaceful on the outskirts of the Lake District. The cute farm dogs were very friendly, also the horses and the hills, buzzards and bats, everything you want from a countryside farm stay.
Thanks to the campsite hosts.

Rail camping pod

Liked Thanks to Louise & the team. Had a lovely stay, was glad to have upgraded to the Rail Wagon with the rain, though the camping field also looked nice. Cracking views as it’s on a hill side with a lovely walk into town down the disused rail line. Have already recommended & look forwards to stopping again.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Louise is a lovely friendly host. Very welcoming. The facilities are great plenty of hot water clean and I liked the changing areas being separate from the shower no damp clothes. Lots of little thoughtful touches like washing up bowls and spare tent pegs provided. Kits for fires were also avaliable which was really handy. Location is lovely with great scenery. We didn't get time to try any of the walking routes but they sounded nice and another nice touch from the hosts having well detailed routes provided.

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.
