  • Scenic farm site five minutes' drive from the Lake District
  • A 10-minute drive from Sizergh Castle; 20 from Lake Windermere
  • On-site bar with outdoor seating; views over hills and Morecambe Bay
Mornings roaming the hills followed by afternoons at the beach? Sounds a lot like Park House Farm Campsite, a scenic site between the Lake District National Park (five minutes' drive), Arnside and Silverdale (five minutes) and the coast (15 minutes). Wherever you're aiming to go, this well-located site comes up trumps in terms of access to nearby natural attractions. The vistas at this site are a mix of green hills dotted with farm animals and far-ranging views over the Kent Estuary (part of Morecambe Bay). Not that it's all about the views: portable toilets and a washing-up area are on hand to make daily essentials easier too. Park House Farm Campsite has a licensed bar set in a barn that dates as far back as the 1340s – with exposed timber beams, fine booze and chandeliers hanging from the roof, it's a rather swish affair. Things kick off here from 5pm; those too young to have a tipple can still join in by heading to the barn's tuck shop. (Please note that the bar will not be accessible to guests if there is a private booking, but drinks will still be available outside. If you're hanging out on your pitch instead, the folk on site ask that you're mindful of your neighbours and their sleeping kids; no music or noise after 10.30pm, ta.) Barbecues are permitted on site if you'd like to do a little alfresco cookery (please keep them off the ground to avoid damaging the grass though). Heading out instead? Milnthorpe (five minutes' drive) has several cafés, restaurants and a supermarket.

Liked: Very welcoming and friendly, sheep and the cat came to say hello too. A lovely simple site, with minimal facilities, and a nice little barn to go for a pint.

Daisy the Cow non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Very friendly and welcoming campsite. It’s only a small site with basic facilities though that’s part of its charm. The views are also gorgeous, especially when the sunsets.

Disliked: The entrance isn’t obvious though google maps works a treat in locating the site. It’s also I little scary leaving the site as it’s hard to see the on coming traffic on the 60 mph road 😬

Daisy the Cow non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Easy motorcycle access to site. Views were outstanding. Bar with a good range of beer and cider. Hot (and I mean hot) shower.

Disliked: Depending where you are on site road noise could be a small issue at night.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked: We liked Park house but it also has a lot more potential. Park House wasn’t sign posted well to find and felt like we was driving on private property. The pictures was rather deceiving which was a little disappointment for the price per night. Toilets and showers spot on if you don’t mind compost toilets, this doesn’t bother us and showers are hot which is perfect for when it’s a rainy day/dull day. Overall this campsite was ok. Could do with some extra bits. 👍🏼

Local attractions

Hankering for the scent of sea air? Head down to Arnside Pier (15 minutes' drive) for a stroll along the shore, or drive half an hour down the road to the broad expanse of beach at Morecambe. Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (five minutes), a marshy spot where birdlife thrives, is pretty close at hand too – get yourself to RSPB Leighton Moss (15 minutes) if you find yourself tempted by twitching. Park House Farm Campsite is also on the very edge of the Lake District National Park, a sterling spot where you can go pottering about the home of the creator of Peter Rabbit (35 minutes), boating on Lake Windermere (20 minutes) or launch yourself onto the high ropes at Go Ape Grizedale (40 minutes). National parks and natural beauty spots are far from being the only things this part of the world has to offer – alternative attractions in the local area include surveying the age-old ruins at Dallam Tower (10 minutes), checking out the animals at Lakeland Wildlife Oasis (10 minutes) and running around the ramparts of splendid Sizergh Castle (10 minutes).
