  • Pop-up wild camping on a peaceful family farm near Ulverston
  • A 10-minute drive to Coniston Water; 15 minutes to Windermere
  • Safe kids- and dog-friendly site with a pub five minutes’ walk away
With one heck of a location amid spectacular mountain and fell views, Lowick Bridge Campsite is close to both Coniston Water and Windermere. This back-to-basics pop-up site makes a splendid base for outdoorsy types keen to get onto cycling tracks, up mountains or out on the water as soon as possible. It’s also a handy stopover for long-distance hikers; footpaths are accessible directly from the pitches, and the Cumbria Way starts in Ulverston (15 minutes’ drive). There’s a lot for families to do too, with a steam railway and boat cruises less than half an hour away. If you’re after a lazy day doing nothing much except admiring those views, there’s plenty of space around the pitches for dogs (please keep them on a lead) and kids to roam safely. With a fence and hedge encircling the site, no-one can stray too far – the River Crake runs nearby, but there’s no direct access.
 The nearest pub has a beer garden and is five minutes’ walk away in Lowick Bridge. A 17th-century pub serves real ales in Lowick Green (20 minutes on foot), and you can get pub grub and Sunday roasts in Spark Bridge, less than five minutes’ drive away. Riverside Greenodd (10 minutes’ drive) has a butcher’s, a fish and chip shop and a bakery serving takeout pizza.  When you fancy a barbecue, firepits can be hired from the site on a first-come, first-served basis and bundles of firewood are also for sale.

What customers say

This is a basic, back-to-basics campsite with exceptional portaloos, praised for their cleanliness. Guests frequently highlight the friendly and helpful owner, Tim, and the site's picturesque location, close to Coniston Water and local pubs. The spacious, open field allows flexible pitching, and thoughtful touches include buckets of toys and fire pits. While some found noise an issue on weekends, and a few noted the basic nature of the facilities (no showers), the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many recommending it for its value and peaceful atmosphere.

Non-electric grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked Great value with views and excellent location for exploring the lakes.
Open field to setup where ever you want. Free fire pit and toilets were portable toilets that worried us but the owner visited every couple of hours to keep immaculate. Any road noise subsided early on to make it nice and peaceful.
A great site.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Immaculately clean toilets & washing up area. Clearly labelled drinking water. Easy to pitch tents (not rock underneath a thin layer of grass like some Lake District sites). Excellent and helpful communication from the owners.

We loved it but this is a basic site - clean toilets, sink for washing up drinking water & that's it. Perfect for what we needed!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked really good location , toilets and sink was really clean. Really nice service from owner.

Disliked The only thing I would tell people which isn't to do with the campsite but the location is that there is very little transport available and there aren't really any shops near by so make sure to book at the pub or bring plenty of food to eat.

Local attractions

Walkers and climbers can make a beeline for the slopes of The Old Man of Coniston (20 minutes’ drive) to see the 17th-century mines or take the circular route to the summit for views over Coniston Water. It’s an easy stroll suitable for families up a stone track to remote Swinside Stone Circle from the car park (25 minutes) – once there you have stunning views over the fells. Arnside and Silverdale National Landscape (40 minutes) is a scenic spot for cycle rides and dips in the sea on warmer days. Coniston Water (10 minutes) is a hub for watersports from dinghy sailing to kayaking and paddleboarding; you can hire all the gear at the Water Park Lakeland Adventure Centre (also 10 minutes). If all that sounds too much like hard work, chug through lakeland countryside aboard the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway (10 minutes), or jump aboard the National Trust - Steam Yacht Gondola (20 minutes) for gentle cruises around Coniston Water. Another local National Trust attraction is Fell Foot (15 minutes), where you can take out rowing boats to explore Windermere or safely let the kids loose at the playground.
