The centre of the camping field is a wildflower meadow

  • Small, quiet and friendly farm site with spectacular views
  • Lots of room and spacious pitches
  • Several walks direct from the farm including onto the Howgill Fells
For splendid walks among grazing animals, and nights gazing up at big open skies, Low Greenside Farm is an excellent bet for an outdoorsy break of the old-school variety. This small, quiet and friendly site is on a sheep farm in a level field, with spectacular Cumbria countryside views in all directions: the owners say it's 'camping as it used to be', with spacious pitches set around the edge of a large field. There are assorted hill and valley hikes from the site, where up-to-date info is on hand to help you pick places to walk, eat and visit, as well as sorting countryside events and day trip ideas. There's direct access onto the Howgill Fells for long walks, where sheep and ponies will keep you company; the Lakes, the Dales and the lovely Eden Valley are all close by for days out. Campfires are allowed in the hearths provided with logs available to purchase at the farm, and guests can also blaze up a barbecue on site. Ravenstonedale village – a five-minute walk from the farm – has two country pubs with riverside gardens, both serving food and real ales. For foodie supplies you might also want to check out the nearby farmers’ market, or drive over to one of the surrounding towns and villages.

Liked This is an amazing campsite. Magnus is so friendly and helpful. The pitches are great and spacious, each has their own fire-pit. The amenities are fab, toilets are eco-friendly and clean. Showers are spacious and clean. There is a locker area for phone charging, well appointed kitchen area for washing up with a fridge and freezer. The saturday night Guitarist in the dip was a super added extra.

From the manager: Hi Rachel. Thanks so much for for your great review. Spacious pitches and clean, well-maintained facilities are really important to what we offer so it's so lovely to hear they were noticed and appreciated. We loved sitting with everyone listening to Dave the guitarist for this week's Super Saturday treat for our campers too - it was such a lovely atmosphere :)
Hope to see you back again next year.

Liked The area The cleanliness of the site.The wash facilities and the peace and quiet .

Disliked Nothing really once we got use to the Non flush toilets only as we hadn't come across them before.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Andrew. Thanks very much for your review. The peaceful nature of the site in our beautiful, relatively undiscovered region is one of our favourite things too :)
Our waterless toilets sometimes catch those looking for the flush handle out on their first visit, and we often get asked how they work without any smell :)
Hope you'll visit us again.

Far Field yurt

Liked Campsite perfection. Chilled atmosphere, amazing scenery, great facilities.

We spent the weekend in the yurt and absolutely loved it. Really cute set up with its own private area overlooking the fields and rolling hills.

Had a meal at the King's Head down the road which is a great friendly pub next to the river. Would recommend walking up Green Bell from the campsite.

Hope to return soon!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Sophie. We're so pleased that you enjoyed your stay in the Yurt and enjoyed the privacy, facilities and views from down there. We're very lucky in our location to have some amazing walks accessible straight from the campsite, and have some great pubs in walkable distance. Sounds like you found them both :)
Hope to see you again.

Local attractions

There are plenty of interesting local walks and bike rides in the region – several of which start at the farm gate – with refreshments to be had at pubs and cafés en route. The Howgill Fells are a few minutes' stroll up the lane. There's excellent access to both the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales, with the equally scenic Eden Valley another option for those looking to avoid the crowds. Close to the site, you can go pony trekking or trout fishing – catch one and barbecue it later (the trout, not the pony...) Ravenstonedale village has a playground, public tennis court, nine and 18-hole golf course and a small art gallery to take in. The market towns of Kirkby Stephen, Appleby and Sedbergh are all within hiking distance. For some food and tipples to finish the day with back at base, head to Hawes (40 minutes' drive) for cheese from the Wensleydale Creamery and craft beers from the Yorkshire Dales Brewery.
