What customers say
Moss Howe Farm gets props for its lovely, peaceful spot and super friendly staff. Guests loved the tidy facilities, onsite shop, and tasty pizzas. While most enjoyed the quiet vibe and ample pitches, a few mentioned low shower pressure and weak Wi-Fi. Great for walks and a chilled escape.

Liked Great campsite with spacious, well-kept pitches. Facilities were spotless, and the showers had excellent pressure and temperature. The owner was welcoming and personally showed me to my pitch. The on-site shop was well-stocked, with fair prices, some items even cheaper than the high street. Free wifi which was strong which was great for my girls. Bonus points for pizza nights on Wednesdays and Sundays. Easy to find and set in a peaceful location — would happily stay again.

Excellent place to stay away from the more touristy spots
Powered grass tent or campervan site (premium)
Liked We really enjoyed our stay out Moss Howe Farm, warm welcome from the staff upon arrival and the staff were really friendly throughout our stay. Facilities really clean, showers are great for a a farm campsite. We stayed in an electric hook up pitch, very spacious and we were able to make it private. Ordered Pizzas on Saturday night which were amazing and ate them whilst sat in front of the fire pit. Shame the breakfast butties aren’t available on other days but I understand the demand may not be there. It was lovely to stay just outside of the more touristy spots such as bowness and Windermere. Will definitely be staying again

Quiet, friendly site.
Power optional grass tent or campervan site (large)
Liked Nice and quiet site in a slightly remote spot with good road access to all that the south lakes has to offer.
Exceptionally clean shower and toilet facilities.
A well stocked shop open morning and afternoon to 8pm.
Good walks locally, we took our dogs upto Simon's seat, a few miles round trip with spectacular views at the top across the Bay.

Liked We had a fantastic stay at this campsite! The location is absolutely amazing, with endless walking opportunities right from the doorstep of the farm – perfect for exploring the beautiful surroundings. The on-site shop is a lovely touch, stocking a range of local products; we especially enjoyed a delicious BBQ using their sausages and burgers. Pizza night was a highlight – very tasty – and the Sunday breakfast baps were a great treat. The toilet block is modern and clean, and we were pleasantly surprised by the strong WiFi signal throughout our stay.
Disliked We stayed on Pitch One, which is very close to the toilet block, and unfortunately, we were woken during the night by the sound of the hand dryer – it would be much better if this could be turned off overnight. Behind our pitch was a large picnic area strung with fairy lights, which looked lovely in the evening, but the lights stayed on all night and were quite bright inside our tent – having a cut-off time for these would really help. Lastly, the shower water pressure was very low and the on/off button was overly sensitive, so the water stopped every time we moved, which made showering a bit frustrating.

Lodge
Liked A well equipped, tidy and cosy camping hut with an excellent adjoining kitchen space that had everything we needed for a weekend walking in Lakes. The campsite was so peaceful (just like campsites used to be!) and the addition of a shop selling lovely coffee and a pizza van was welcome after a big walk on the Saturday! Great value and within easy reach of the fells without all the hecticness of places like Ambleside. Would love to return and explore the area really close to the campsite too. The Staff were all extremely helpful and friendly.
