  • Pop-up wild camping on a peaceful family farm near Ulverston
  • A 10-minute drive to Coniston Water; 15 minutes to Windermere
  • Kids- and dog-friendly site with essential facilities
Lowick Bridge Campsite has one heck of a location, what with the spectacular mountain and fell views, and it being so close to Coniston Water and Windermere… It’s a splendid base for outdoorsy types keen to get up mountains or out on the water in as short a time as possible. This back-to-basics site is also a great stopover for long-distance hikers, as the Cumbria Way starts just 15 minutes’ drive away in Ulverston. You can get out onto footpaths and cycling tracks right from the pitches. You may also spot a nearby river, although take note that there's no direct access from the campsite. If you’re after a lazy day doing nothing much except admiring those views, there’s plenty of space around the secluded pitches for dogs (please keep them on a lead) and kids to roam safely. With a fence and hedge circling the campsite, you don't have to be too worried about the kids straying too far. There’s a lot to do en famille off-site too, with a steam railway and watersports all less than half an hour away. You should have most of what you need for everyday within less than a 10-minute drive from here. The nearest pub (home to a lovely beer garden) is five minutes' walk away in Lowick Bridge, and a second, 17th-century pub serving real ales is 20 minutes' walk away from the site in Lowick Green. In Spark Bridge, a third pub serves comforting pub grub and Sunday roasts – this one's a couple of minutes' drive away. In riverside Greenodd (10 minutes' drive), source barbecue bits from the butcher, treat the family to fish and chips or pick up fresh loaves and takeout pizza from the bakery. For evening activities, a limited number of firepits can be hired from the site on a first-come, first-served basis; firewood is also sold on site.

What customers say

A solid, no-frills campsite loved for its prime spot & helpful owner, Tim. Guests rave about clean portaloos, water, dish sinks, spacious field & free fire pits/toys. Ideal for quick trips near the lakes. Some report weekend noise & no showers (as listed).

Liked Friendly welcome. All we needed from a basic site (clean loos, water and plenty of space). A short walk to the local pub which was also welcoming. Entertainment provided by the lambs in the neighbouring field!

Primitive grass and earth RV campsite

Liked Nice, relaxed site with early access. Very easy to find and great enveloping views surrounding you. I had been over Hard Knott pass and down to Ulverston that morning and it made for a great spot in a decent area. Quiet overnight and slept right through.

Disliked Nope all good

Primitive grass and earth RV campsite

Liked There was plenty of space, the owner was great checking us in and offering us wood for the fire. There are fire pits there to use which is handy, the views are spectacular and it's just down the road from coniston water, we will be back making sure we pack our paddle board.

Disliked It would be nice to have an outside tap not just the pot was space to fill water tankers up. It's quite a slow for a larger water carrier.
No option for a single person, costs the same for 1 person as it did for 4

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review and suggestions. The additional tap is a good idea !

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite

Liked The campsite is very clean and was spaced out lovely. It didn’t feel cramped and crowded, even on the bank holiday! You can camp wherever in the field and there’s a family field separate to the groups field which is great for younger people. Tim is a great help and replies very quickly when you need anything. It’s very close to water and also pubs so you can walk to nearby things. Also bike hires nearby which was fab. The toilets were very clean and were seen to every morning! I highly recommend taking a walk to the Royal Oak pub nearby, the food was amazing. Personally avoid the Farmers Arms food as this was really disappointing.
