  • In the Cumbrian hills a couple of miles from Witherslack
  • A 15-minute drive from Grange-over-Sands and 25 from Windermere
  • Campfires allowed: firepits for hire and wood for sale on site
How might you fancy a peaceful and well-equipped Lake District place to stay, among the peaceful hills of Cumbria, and with easy access to famed Lake District destinations including Lake Windermere, Ambleside, Cartmel and Kendal? Bed down at quiet and secluded Moss Howe Farm for all the above, a couple of miles from local village Witherslack and 15 minutes' drive from Grange-over-Sands. This is an excellent setting for campfire evenings: guests can arrange firepit hire by adding a request to the Moss Howe team when booking, or use their own barbecues as long as they're raised off the ground and placed on top of the firepit using the supplied grill. A shop and pub are nearby in Witherslack for supplies and other eats. Moss Howe is well equipped, with modern shower, washroom and toilet facilities, plus a tumble dryer in the ladies' shower block, and dishwashing basins just outside. Charging facilities are available for an extra fee; freshwater taps are around the accommodation areas, and wifi is at reception.

What customers say

This peaceful, well-kept site has modern, clean facilities, a well-stocked shop, and popular pizza nights. Guests loved the friendly staff, beautiful location, and great amenities like fridges. A few noted a narrow access road, occasional shower sensor issues, and limited privacy. Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway.

Powered grass campervan or tent campsite (large)

Liked The location was pleasant with some nice walking and a decent pub not far away. The site had decent extras such as a little pub of its own and a pizza van.

Disliked The men’s showers were grim. I don’t think they were cleaned the 3 days we were there. Th me floor was always an inch deep in cold, muddy water and the shower cut out every few seconds. Disappointed for £45 a night.

Primitive grass tent campsite (small)

Liked The little bar was great and we enjoyed the freshly made pizzas from the pizza van as it was too rainy to BBQ. Very friendly staff, modern and clean facilities and the fridges were especially helpful for re-freezing our cool box blocks!

Disliked Would have been nice to have vegan cheese on the pizza as advertised but these things happen. Shame about the heavy rain too but obviously not the campsite's fault!

Local attractions

A particularly scenic way to explore these surroundings is atop a horse, so make your way first to the Witherslack Hall Equestrian Centre, 10 minutes' drive away, for rides through the woods or on the local fell. A big sheltered arena is also at the centre if you'd like to practise your cantering first. If horses aren't for you, take to the car instead for the spectacularly scenic 25-minute drive to Windermere and Consiton Water via the A590, among the views of the east side of the lake to Bowness, Troutbeck and Ambleside. You'll need at least a day at Britain's biggest natural water lake, for steam ferry rides from Bowness Bay to Waterhead at Ambleside, or boating trips around the water and Windermere's 18 islands. Also have a potter around Lakeside Pier at the southern end of the lake (the ferry from Bowness finishes here), for the Aquarium of the Lakes showcasing Windermere's wildlife. Hikes, mountain biking and lake and mountain views are at Grizedale Forest, 35 minutes away.
