  • Quiet back-to-basics camping on a working farm in Grange-over-Sands
  • A five-minute drive to Cartmel; 20 minutes to Windermere
  • Dog-friendly site with Morecambe Bay views
At a peaceful countryside location with outstanding views over Morecambe Bay, Low Fell Gate Farm Campsite is a back-to-basics spot for those of you who like to get off grid but remain reassuringly close to civilisation. There’s easy access from the M6 at Junction 36, and you’re only a five-minute drive from Grange-over-Sands railway station. You can walk into Grange-over-Sands in 15 minutes, to source bits and bobs for the barbecue, try out the local pubs and then clear your head by walking along the seafront promenade. The pretty medieval village of Cartmel has indie food shops to nose around and a micro-brewery, as well as a handful of restaurants and takeaways. Drive north towards the Lakes and you’re at Windermere in 20 minutes, for all sorts of water-based activities from sailing to paddleboarding and canoeing. Don’t want to get wet? You can also cross the lake on an old-world cruiser, explore cutesy waterfront villages like Bowness and Ambleside, or get up into the hills for some healthy hiking. Back at site, simple facilities include running water for washing up, and portable toilets. This is a working farm, so while your pet pooches are welcome too, please keep them on a lead and under control at all times. It's also a peaceful place, so there's a no-noise rule in place after 10pm.

What customers say

This is a basic, no-frills campsite offering exceptional views over Morecambe Bay, praised for its peaceful atmosphere and convenient location within walking distance of Grange-over-Sands. While facilities are limited to portaloos, many reviewers found them clean and well-maintained. Some noted issues with the sloping pitches and mud in wet weather, as well as occasional noise from other campers. Overall, it's a good value option for those prioritising views and a relaxed stay.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Able to book at short notice, friendly, no frills. No intrusion from the very pleasant owners who each came to check in on us after arriving and quickly let us know where everything was, then was left to it!
Lovely views and peaceful setting.

Disliked Can’t really rate the facilities too high as there was only a couple of portaloos, which is fine for a one nighter but won’t be able to use this place for consecutive days which is a shame. Saying that the toilets were kept clean which was good.

Janet R.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The view was gorgeous, location perfect to explore the area and it was a very peaceful campsite. The wildlife such as bats and an owl alongside the brightness of the stars of an evening were a great sight to behold. Portaloos were clean, tidy and well maintained.

Disliked The road up to it which our sat nav sent us to was closed. It was easy enough to look for an alternative route on the map but it would have been nice to know before we went. The lack of a tap on site and washing up facilities were a bit of an inconvenience but we went into the local shops to get big bottles of water so wasn’t a big issue.

Local attractions

Golfers can practise their swing on seafront links or a hilltop course (both five minutes’ drive) with Lakes views. Experienced riders might like the chance to hack across the fells on rare-breed Friesian horses (10 minutes), while horse-lovers of the betting kind can catch race meetings at Cartmel Racecourse. There’s plenty of beach walking on offer too, on the wide expanse of Morecambe Bay’s Silverdale Coast (30 minutes) or Blackstone Point (35 minutes), and you’ll come across salt marshes and woodland trails at Roudsea Wood and Mosses National Nature Reserve (15 minutes). For something a bit more vigorous, The Old Man of Coniston (45 minutes) is a challenging mountain hike rewarded with spectacular views across the Lake District. To up the cultural vibe, there are summer theatre evenings and guided tours at Holker Hall and Gardens (10 minutes), and Grasmere (50 minutes) has several Wordsworth-related attractions and 17th-century cottages owned by the National Trust.
