Moss Side Farm Campsite: Sun shining over the pitches

General

  • Small, quiet site on a working farm with scenic views
  • Woodland valley with walks, bike rides and riding trails all around
  • Peaceful Lake District site; no music, groups, ball games or under-13s

Moss Side Farm Campsite, near Cumbria's Broughton-in-Furness, should hit the spot for hikers: it's in a woodland valley with many footpaths leading directly from the farm. And for watery types too, as the farm is in the Lake District, 10 minutes' drive from the nearest lake and 40 from Windermere. And for cyclists, and horse riders, and those who like smashing views of lakeland fells leading down to the Irish Sea…

This is a small, friendly and family-run site on a working hill farm with working dogs along with sheep, cows, ponies, ducks and hens. Two ladies' and two gents' showers, a freezer and a washing-up area are among the site amenities, and campfires are permitted.

Moss Farm's nearest village is Broughton-in-Furness, a seven-minute drive or 30 or so minute walk away; here guests can buy bread from the award-winning Broughton bakery and groceries and meat from a family-run butcher and grocer. The village also has three pubs, two of which serve food, plus a restaurant, two cafés, a petrol station, a post office, a bank and a gift shop.

Quiet well-behaved dogs are welcome at Moss Farm as long as they're kept on leads while on site. No music or radios may be used at this peaceful site, and groups, ball games and kids under 13 are not allowed.

    Our host was welcoming, friendly and totally unfazed by our late arrival on Friday night.

    20 mins from Coniston and Windermere in the other direction. Quiet site with excellent rules around noise.

    30 minute mainly flat walk to next village, pub good for a simple meal.

    We would normally camp but late arrival meant we ended up looking at cabins and this site didn’t disappoint with a good price point, if you’re sharing four to a cabin the price is cheaper than pitching your tent at most camp sites.

    Disliked: 

    Not much to dislike, basic cabin camping at its finest

    Loved the stay, very peaceful and quiet site with a lovely view across the valley. Stayed in one of the Railway Pods, just perfect for three of us for a night in the area. Wood burner warmed the place beautifully on a chilly evening, beds were comfy enough for a good night's sleep, though we were up and out early on our way to an event so didn't explore much more.

    Too much of a working farm vibe (which it was) .. and facilities seemed to be a money-making afterthought .. not well though thru, of high enough quality for the price charged, or very visitor friendly.

    Ground wet expected in February what you don't expect isnits also full of animal droppings which are wet and squidgy everything got covered in feaces.
    Bathrooms very poor really need updating showers very tired no privacy

From the manager...

Sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy your stay. Perhaps you should have parked your campervan on the hard standing pitches as suggested. I had advised that the camping field that you chose had just been vacated by our pregnant sheep ladies who are now comfortably installed in the lambing shed awaiting the arrival of their lambs.
We are indeed a basic farm Campsite but not too basic, some campsites don’t offer toilets/showers at all!
The farm and the campsite have worked very successfully together for over 15 years, not a hobby. Most of our guest choose to come here because we are a proper old fashioned Campsite based on a farm.
Can’t please everyone.
Obviously not for you. ☹️

    John the proprietor was very understanding of my need to arrive in the middle of the night - my reason for staying was I needed somewhere to sleep after a night time endurance event - I ended up finishing the event a lot quicker so didn’t use the pitch in the end and just drive straight home - I really appreciated John’s kindness in giving the flexibility to arrive in the middle of the night though, had I needed it - thanks John - All the best Chris

Directions


Please note: All distances on this page are calculated "as the crow flies" - please check actual distance depending on your mode of travel using the Get directions button above.

Local attractions

Of the many footpaths straight from the farm, the main one is the Foxfield to Broughton route along a disused railway line right into Broughton. Other paths can take you to the Broughton Mills area, Seathwaite valley and Ulpha valley; ask the Moss Farm team to point you in the right direction.

If you're in the area for watersports, Coniston Lake, the third biggest in the Lake District, is the closest to the farm and is 10 minutes' drive away. Otherwise try pony trekking at Spoon Hall near Coniston, Muirthwaite Green at Silecroft or Cumbrian Heavy Horses in the Whicham Valley, all within 15 minutes' drive.

Historic house fans have many in the area to pick from, like Muncaster Castle, Sizer Castle, Holker Hall and Levens Hall, as well as many National Trust houses such as Dove House in Grasmere, home of daffs man William Wordsworth.

The towns of Windermere and Ambleside are about 20 minutes' drive away, as is South Lakes Animal Park at Dalton-in-Furness, an attractive option for animal fans.

The staff at the Broughton-in-Furness tourist information centre can give you tips on what's best to see and do.

Must see

  • Lakeland Motor Museum (8.2 miles)
  • South Lakes Wild Animal Park (8.7 miles)
