  • Family-friendly Yorkshire Dales farm near the Dales Way
  • In southern Cumbria, a mile from the centre of Sedbergh
  • Walk to Sedbergh for dog-friendly pubs, cafés and eateries in 15 mins
There's something mightily tempting about staying on a working Dales farm with cattle, sheep, pigs, horses and goats. Farm and Fell Campsite is a peaceful farm site in scenic southern Cumbria, just 15 minutes' walk away from Sedbergh, where guests can get stuck into a number of dog-friendly pubs, cafés and family-friendly eateries. This site is something of a geographical oddity, being located within the borders of the Yorkshire Dales but outside the boundaries of Yorkshire. The surroundings have all the stunning scenery you'd expect from this national park location, with highlights including the nearby river Rawthey, miles of dry stone walls and views over the spectacular Howgill Fells. Walkers itching to get out and explore it all have footpaths (including the Dales Way) that start almost opposite the site entrance. Every pitch at Farm and Fell Campsite has its own firepit; hardwood logs, sticks and firelighters are available from the farmer between 6pm and 8pm every evening. Farm activities may also be available (to be booked separately – mention you're interested on the booking form to learn more). These include lamb feeding, calf rearing and goat walking.

What customers say

Stunning spot, lovely owners & near Sedbergh. Farm animals, fire pits, great showers. Basic facilities good for some, others want more sinks/hotter showers. Muddy after rain, can be noisy. Perfect for a chilled rural escape.

Sally D. 1 review

Main Field unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked - Lots of options of where to pitch up to choose from
- Nice field down by the river as the furthest option
- Great location for walks
- Owners came round offering logs of wood

Disliked When we visited it was booked out to what felt like over capacity. Hundreds of people cramped in. We have two dogs and like to have space so they can settle but had people within 1 metre of our pitch. There didn’t seem to be any specified spots or even a limit to how many people were allowed to book.
If choosing the further fields, there are two portaloo’s and the showers / washing up station are a good 15minute walk from the furthest pitch we chose.

Liked We staying in the river field and we couldn't fault the site at all!

Love being directly next to the river, the freedom to choose your own spot instead of being told where to go, and just how peaceful the whole place was!

Main Field unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked Very scenic site. Felt close to nature. Also really liked the fire pit that comes with seemingly every pitch

Disliked The pitches felt slightly close together but not by a lot. Toilets, though clean, were unisex which my partner doesn't like too much.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Really nice place. With some tweaks it could be excellent.

Liked Attentive host

Disliked Only three toilets and two showers. Not enough for the quantity of people on site. Many pitches had several families and they did not follow the 9:30 quiet time.
No hand washing facilities in the toilets

Local attractions

Guests at Farm and Fell Campsite have access to the Dales Way footpath within a few minutes' walk of base, opening up 80 miles of traffic-free trails, most of which run alongside local watercourses. Whether you head south to the Pennines or north to the Lakeland foothills, walking in this part of the world is always a very special experience. Sedbergh town centre (15 minutes' walk) is also close by, with places to stop for snacks and drinks and a couple of book shops (one of them very large) where you can pick up some holiday reading material. For more low-key local things to do, check out Farfield Mill five minutes' drive down the road, or set off on a round trip on the scenic Settle to Carlisle railway from Garsdale (20 minutes' drive). Into your sport? Try Killington Sailing Association's watersports centre (10 minutes) or the Lakeland Climbing Centre (30 minutes).
