- 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.

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.

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. ☹️
