Stunning views
The centre of the camping field is a wildflower meadow

  • Small, quiet and friendly farm site with spectacular views
  • Lots of room and spacious pitches
  • Several walks direct from the farm including onto the Howgill Fells
For splendid walks among grazing animals, and nights gazing up at big open skies, Low Greenside Farm is an excellent bet for an outdoorsy break of the old-school variety. This small, quiet and friendly site is on a sheep farm in a level field, with spectacular Cumbria countryside views in all directions: the owners say it's 'camping as it used to be', with spacious pitches set around the edge of a large field. There are assorted hill and valley hikes from the site, where up-to-date info is on hand to help you pick places to walk, eat and visit, as well as sorting countryside events and day trip ideas. There's direct access onto the Howgill Fells for long walks, where sheep and ponies will keep you company; the Lakes, the Dales and the lovely Eden Valley are all close by for days out. Campfires are allowed in the hearths provided with logs available to purchase at the farm, and guests can also blaze up a barbecue on site. Ravenstonedale village – a five-minute walk from the farm – has two country pubs with riverside gardens, both serving food and real ales. For foodie supplies you might also want to check out the nearby farmers’ market, or drive over to one of the surrounding towns and villages.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Great location and a lovely site which is clean throughout. Although it was fully booked when we were there, it felt very spacious, with plenty of space in between pitches. Hosts were very helpful, great facilities in the kitchen area.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Many thanks for your great review. We're super keen on giving everyone plenty of space and not cramming lots of tents in. We will never prioritise more bookings over our campers' comfort :)
So pleased you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again soon.

Brilliant!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked The welcome was very friendly, everything was explained to us. The pitches are generous, each with a firepit, and the grass was short. A plentiful supply of barrows was available to help take your gear to your pitch, we've been to so many where we've had to carry everything as the one or two barrows were in use. The showers and toilets are immaculate and well looked after. We appreciated the use of an electric kettle in the shower block plus a fridge and freezer. We enjoyed the fact that there are several good walks straight from the site too.

Disliked Nothing

From the manager: Thanks for your lovely comments about our spacious pitches and the usefulness of our facilities in the shower block. We know little touches like that really do help for the comfort of our campers. I'm pleased you got to enjoy some of the great walks available direct from the campsite too - there are plenty to explore :)
Hope to see you again soon.

Simply the best campsite I've ever…

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Great pitches. Friendly and helpful owners. Peaceful. Great views from elevated pitch choice. Brilliant facilities. Love the eco friendliness of the site.
The fact they charge pet pitch and not itemise eveything like the majority of sites do fo tent size, awning, dog, car, per person fee.
This site has a great ethos. Definitely coming back.

Disliked Nothing.

From the manager: Hi James. Many thanks for your lovely review. It's so encouraging to hear that our eco-concious ethos was noticed and that the care we take of our facilities was appreciated. We can't take the credit for the views, but it's one of our favorite things about our location for sure :)
We strongly believe campers should be able to camp how they like so not charging for additional add-ons is one of our core values. We're thrilled you'll be coming back and hope to see you again soon.

From the manager: Hi Stuart. Thank you for your fabulous review. We love your sign off - "camping like it should be" - that's exactly what we try to provide and why we don't charge for a lot of stuff that other sites do. We believe you should be able to camp as you like and it's so lovely to hear that resonates with you. Comfy campers are happy campers :)

Local attractions

There are plenty of interesting local walks and bike rides in the region – several of which start at the farm gate – with refreshments to be had at pubs and cafés en route. The Howgill Fells are a few minutes' stroll up the lane. There's excellent access to both the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales, with the equally scenic Eden Valley another option for those looking to avoid the crowds. Close to the site, you can go pony trekking or trout fishing – catch one and barbecue it later (the trout, not the pony...) Ravenstonedale village has a playground, public tennis court, nine and 18-hole golf course and a small art gallery to take in. The market towns of Kirkby Stephen, Appleby and Sedbergh are all within hiking distance. For some food and tipples to finish the day with back at base, head to Hawes (40 minutes' drive) for cheese from the Wensleydale Creamery and craft beers from the Yorkshire Dales Brewery.
