  • 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

Highly recommended, basic site with lots of space & great rural views. Tim's super friendly & portaloos are spotless. Near Coniston Water & pubs, perfect for exploring. Free fire pits, kids' toys a bonus. Basic, some weekend noise, but excellent value – would return!

Liked The owners of the campsite were really friendly and helpful. Even allowing me to leave my car on their land for a week when I ran into car trouble.

All in all - great facilities, great people and right next to a half decent pub. Highly recommend.

Liked Friendly welcome. All we needed from a basic site (clean loos, water and plenty of space). A short walk to the local pub which was also welcoming. Entertainment provided by the lambs in the neighbouring field!

Primitive grass and earth RV campsite

Liked Nice, relaxed site with early access. Very easy to find and great enveloping views surrounding you. I had been over Hard Knott pass and down to Ulverston that morning and it made for a great spot in a decent area. Quiet overnight and slept right through.

Disliked Nope all good

Primitive grass and earth RV campsite

Liked There was plenty of space, the owner was great checking us in and offering us wood for the fire. There are fire pits there to use which is handy, the views are spectacular and it's just down the road from coniston water, we will be back making sure we pack our paddle board.

Disliked It would be nice to have an outside tap not just the pot was space to fill water tankers up. It's quite a slow for a larger water carrier.
No option for a single person, costs the same for 1 person as it did for 4

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review and suggestions. The additional tap is a good idea !

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.
