  • Small Lake District farm site for families and couples
  • Two miles from Broughton-in-Furness; Coniston Water 20 minutes' drive
  • Family-run farm with sheep and cows; eggs and logs available to buy
Half a mile from the small village of Broughton Mills and two miles from the market town of Broughton-in-Furness, this quiet Lake District farm has a small selection of spacious pitches for families and couples looking to sleep under canvas in the gorgeous Lickle Valley. Set in the south of the Lake District and 20 minutes’ from the coast, Lane End Farm has simple amenities including portable toilets and an honesty shop where you can pick up logs and fresh eggs. Other than that, you'll pretty much be left to your own devices here. This site makes an excellent base for many a day trip in the national park, whether you have your eye on watersports at Coniston Water (20 minutes' drive) or conquering the lofty heights of Scafell Pike (an hour). If you haven't yet decided on your itinerary, perhaps this spot's fantastic far-reaching views will help you with some inspiration: the views over the fells just seem to go on and on, with several footpaths directly accessible from the farm for off-road rambles. This quiet part of the Lake District is also a wildlife haven: sit quietly in the field and you'll likely be treated to the sight of buzzards flying overhead; if they fail to make an appearance, there are always the cows and sheep grazing in the neighbouring fields. After a meal out or drink? This site is within roughly a quarter of an hour's walk of The Blacksmith's Arms, rated by the farm's owners as one of the best in the area.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked I stayed as a solo female and felt so safe. Portaloos are clean and they have a single shower on site.

Small site with likeminded friendly people staying which made my experience pleasant.

Location is great if wanting to climb old man.

Each pitch has a fire drum and picnic table, plenty of space between one pitch to the next, very private.

I am with network 3 and had signal / 3G / 4G the majority of the time with it occasionally dropping out.

I’m very picky with campsites but I have no complaints here !

Thanks for a great experience, will most definitely be back.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked The peace and quiet, the added bonus of a shower which wasn't listed on the features. Our very own picnic table and fire pit. The local pub, The Blacksmith Arms, was only a 10 minute stroll away with a great, reasonably priced selection of beers. They even had Guinness! Very rural location in the middle of nowhere but also managed to get 4G mobile phone signal at our pitch. Looking forward to coming back next season.

Disliked The slight slope of the pitch and the shower door wouldn't close as it was warped.

Liked The views are spectacular.

Disliked Toilets are disgusting. If you have portaloos, ensure they're clean and if there is nothing to wash your hands with, at least have hand sanitizer. I understand they're outside, but every corner was filthy.

Pot wash is just cold water

The wind - site sits in a dip and when the wind comes in it's bad. I mean theres no escaping it unless you get in your tent. The wind comes in all directions and is constantly hitting you. Grated, it was high winds that day but even low winds would still hit you in every direction.

There was no meet and greet.
