  • Pop-up wild camping on a peaceful family farm near Ulverston
  • A 10-minute drive to Coniston Water; 15 minutes to Windermere
  • Kids- and dog-friendly site with essential facilities
Lowick Bridge Campsite has one heck of a location, what with the spectacular mountain and fell views, and it being so close to Coniston Water and Windermere… It’s a fab base for outdoorsy types keen to get up mountains or out on the water in as short a time as possible. This back-to-basics site is also a great stopover for long-distance hikers, as the Cumbria Way starts just 15 minutes’ drive away in Ulverston. You can get out onto footpaths and cycling tracks right from the pitches. You may also spot a nearby river, although take note that there's no direct access from the campsite. If you’re after a lazy day doing nothing much except admiring those views, there’s plenty of space around the secluded pitches for dogs (please keep them on a lead) and kids to roam safely. With a fence and hedge circling the campsite, you don't have to be too worried about the kids straying too far. There’s a lot to do en famille off-site too, with a steam railway and watersports all less than half an hour away. You should have most of what you need for everyday within less than a 10-minute drive from here. The nearest pub (home to a lovely beer garden) is five minutes' walk away in Lowick Bridge, and a second, 17th-century pub serving real ales is 20 minutes' walk away from the site in Lowick Green. In Spark Bridge, a third pub serves comforting pub grub and Sunday roasts – this one's a couple of minutes' drive away. In riverside Greenodd (10 minutes' drive), source barbecue bits from the butcher, treat the family to fish and chips or pick up fresh loaves and takeout pizza from the bakery. For evening activities, a limited number of firepits can be hired from the site on a first-come, first-served basis; firewood is also sold on site.

From the manager: Thankyou for your review. Sorry you felt it didnt meet your requirements ! There is a sink unit and drinking water available at the top of the field . It does state on the information that there are no onsite showers . So glad you managed to pitch your tent to the side of the little stone barn. The pricing may be expensive for a single person , but i am glad you managed to stay the extra night ! Many thanks Tim

Lovely site with the best views and very clean toilets.

Liked: The location was great, less than 20 minutes from Coniston. Access was easy and the site beautifully located with superb views of the fells. It was dog friendly and the portaloo facilities were very clean. There were also rubbish bins and a sink and tap on site. A superb camping experience!

Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: Clean port-a-loo's, fresh drinking water.

Disliked: The campsite was overbooked so it was very crowded. Next to busy road, noise restrictions not followed (Loud music and rowdy people partying till 4 AM). Field is covered in sheep poo.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We take all the comments on board , sorry you felt it was overbooked and crowded. The road can be busy over the bank holidays ! We live on site and monitor the noise as best we can . I am contactable if there is a issue ! Because of the extreme hot weather and lack of rain , there has been an issue with sheep poo , but it is totally dry !

Great views, nice and spacious, easy access onto site and clean toilets.…

Liked: Had a lovely stay with Tim at Lowick Bridge. The site was well maintained, clean toilets and beautiful scenery. Tim was lovely and on hand at a moments notice. Fire pits were available for free and a bag of wood just £5 from Tim w. fire lighters. Nice pub a short walk away. This is a great base for exploring the Lakes.
