  • Pop-up wild camping on a peaceful family farm near Ulverston
  • A 10-minute drive to Coniston Water; 15 minutes to Windermere
  • Kid- and dog-friendly site with essential facilities provided
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 fab 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. Although, 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, and with a fence and hedge circling the campsite, you don't have to too be worried about the kids straying too far. There’s lot to do en famille off-site too, with a zoo, steam railway and watersports all less than half an hour away. You should most of what you need for everyday within less than a 10-minute drive from here. A traditional local pub – all exposed beams and roaring log fires – is within a five-minute stroll, and serves comforting pub grub and well as cask ales. Another pub sits 20 minutes' walk away down the road, and is popular for its food and drink, outdoor pizza oven and live bands – try to book in advance. In riverside Greenodd (10 minutes' drive), you can source barbecue bits from the butcher, treat the family to fish and chips or pick up fresh loaves and takeout pizza from the bakery. There's also a pub 20 minutes' walk from the site, which runs a community art project with workshop events here and there and drop-in pottery. It has a woodfired pizza and music night on Thursdays.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Had a lovely stay with Tim at Lowick Bridge. The site was well maintained, clean toilets and beautiful scenery. Tim was lovely and on hand at a moments notice. Fire pits were available for free and a bag of wood just £5 from Tim w. fire lighters. Nice pub a short walk away. This is a great base for exploring the Lakes.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: We stopped at Lowick for 2 nights and I honestly could not fault it. There is lots to do near by, the campsite its self does not have showers however the portaloos were very clean. Has everything you need to enjoy a nice weekend of camping. We had no issues with any other campers, Infact while we were out our canopy half blew down and another camper pegged it back up for us!

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Last min booking, easy to find, large field, toilet facilities, washing facilities basic but all that was needed, even the fact they had fire bins to borrow incase needed. There was even a box of again basic but ideal toys to borrow for the kids as we travelled really minimal, very friendly welcoming owner who also gave some ideas of places to see, pretty local to a shop and 5 min drive to Coniston lake, ideal for the paddleboard.
