  • Adults-only tourer site with stunning views of Cumbria’s Duddon Valley
  • Swinside Stone Circle and Eskdale waterfalls 20 minutes’ drive
  • Birdwatching and dark skies; shops and pubs within 10 minutes’ drive
If you’re after spectacular views and no crowds, that’s what you’ll get at Sella Farm Camping, 10 minutes’ drive from Broughton-in-Furness in Cumbria’s dramatic Duddon Valley. This tiny adults-only touring site on a working beef and sheep farm has grass pitches with direct access to the fells, and a tangle of footpaths and bridleways located all around the property. As the emphasis is on getting out into the stunning lakeland scenery, there’s not much in the way of practical amenities (charging facilities, chemical disposal and recycling) at Sella Farm. Chances are that birdwatching, stargazing on clear nights, wild swimming in the River Duddon (10 minutes’ walk) or boating on Coniston Water (half an hour’s drive) will soon make up for any lack of facilities. Drag yourself away from the stunning landscapes and you can get to a couple of food pubs within 10 minutes’ drive, and a grocery shop, bakery and butcher at Broughton-in-Furness. The nearest supermarket is at Millom (20 minutes in the car).

This peaceful, rural campsite offers magnificent mountain views and is ideal for wild camping. Guests praise the friendly and welcoming owners, the quiet atmosphere, and the proximity to walking trails and river swimming spots. Basic facilities like water and waste disposal are available. Some guests noted occasional road noise, and a lack of mobile signal was also mentioned, though many found this a positive aspect.
