What customers say
Moor House Farm offers a peaceful, spacious campsite on a working farm with stunning views. Visitors consistently praise the immaculate, clean facilities, including hot showers. The owners are frequently described as exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The site's proximity to the M6 makes it an ideal stopover, yet it retains a quiet, rural feel. Some minor points include the undulating ground and unisex facilities, though these did not detract from the overall positive experiences reported.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Peaceful site in a beautiful location
Non-electric grass and earth motorhome pitch
Liked The site is set up on a moor with beautiful views. It was quiet when we stayed - only one other van - lovely clean toilets and showers. It was an easy walk to a great pub with food in Orton and very peaceful despite the proximity to the M6. Definitely one for a longer visit.
Great communication from the owner - very friendly and helpful 😊

Non-electric grass and earth motorhome pitch
Liked Lovely views and soundtrack to nature. We had enough space to feel like we had our own private ‘zone’ and the site wasn’t overly packed which we have found with other sites as this can really ruin a stay and the overall privacy and tranquility. We personally had no issue with road noise in the slightest. Owner was very friendly and regularly checked the facilities to ensure they were clean and tidy.
Disliked Outside tap for washing up doesn’t have hot water and showers are basic with low pressure. Could do with a storage bench or similar in the shower as it was a little tricky to wash and change in the cubicle without everything getting wet. Sinks are communal and not in a block which again isn’t an issue but worth noting if you are looking for a little more privacy. This is a working farm and the site to pitch is a field so not the most level but this is part of the charm, just something to note that levellers would be needed for larger vehicles.

Great campsite, with lovely owners. Would 100% recommend.
Non-electric grass and earth motorhome pitch
Liked This campsite is great, we like the less pruned campsites - many have become large caravan parks with roads around them. Moor House Farm is easily accessible, surrounded by fields and next to a farm. As you'd expect from Cumbria it's not flat but that's one of the joys of camping, right?
The owner is lovely and the small but perfectly formed showers and toilets are kept immaculately.
It's not too far to walk to the local pub and post office (where they sell food and drink). Nice cafe in Orton too.
Walks from the site, what else do you need?
Disliked Ok, so we parked really close to the wind turbine - no problem for us as we were in a camper but our friends in tents found it a little noisy - as you'd expect. Just pick where you pitch carefully! :D

Liked Gorgeous location, lovely quiet site with plenty of room. Great little shower block, everything you need is there without being expensive. Super easy access to fast roads as well as being in an ideal rural location. Great advice about local walks and attractions and all emergency information provided. The family who own it are lovely, they ensure they pop to see you and are friendly and helpful without being overbearing.
The doggos enjoyed it and it was easy with so much space.
Would stay again in the blink of an eye, superb place!
