About Moss Side Farm Campsite
This is a quiet site, suitable for older families (children aged 15 and over) and couples. Come and soak up the peace and quiet, and relax in the wonderful surroundings of the Woodland Valley. The historic village of Broughton in Furness is just a five minute drive or a 35 minute stroll down the footpath, with cafes, pubs and more. There is plenty of space to explore, hills, woodlands and streams all here on the site. Pitch up on grass to enjoy incredible views and you'll also find a small selection of hardstanding areas. For glampers, there are cosy rail cabins to try, which sleep four and include a wood burner, double bed and a set of bunks, larger groups of six can rent the entire rustic bunk house for an adventure in the Lakes, with comfy adult size bunkbeds, couch, wood burning stove, kettle, toaster and microwave. The site is fairly near the coast, the lovely beaches of Haverigg and Silecroft being a 20 minute drive away. The nearest lake, Coniston, is a 15 minute drive. Moss Side is a great base for walkers who want to ramble on the lower footpaths and for the more adventurous who want a little more of a challenge of the higher peaks like Coniston Old Man, Blackcombe or Scar Fell! Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead whilst on the farm.
Moss Side Farm Campsite is open all year round in 2024 and 2025.
Site facilities include toilets and hot, free and clean showers. There is a fridge-freezer, washing up room and communal power points that guests can use. Wood, firelighters, kindling, BBQs and fresh produce such as eggs are all sold on site.
The village of Broughton-in-Furness is only a 30 minute walk (accessed from site via a footpath) or so away, with pubs, cafes, a bakery, shops, an off licence etc. The local pubs do great food at reasonable prices, such as the Black Cock Inn, the Old Kings Head pub and the Blacksmiths Arms in nearby Broughton Mills.

Really friendly and accommodating campsite owner. We were later arriving as M6 closed and we needed to register for the Windermere swim event first. Owner was fine about us leaving at 5am the next morning to get to the event.
Beautiful view

Enjoyed our stay. Good view from pitch. Unfortunately, there was a power cut during our stay so shower block was unlit and shower cold. Lovely host, thanks Louise!
Great stay

Things to do on site and in the Broughton-in-Furness area
The site is a 15 minute drive from Coniston Lake where you can take part in many water sports. Sail on the lake on the historic steam gondola, or try your hand at pony trekking through the stunning lakeside scenery. You can also sail up Windermere on a steam boat or just sit, relax and listen to the sheep, birds and the breeze in the trees!
There are many National Trust houses for you to explore and the ancient Muncaster and Sizer Castles are romantic and beautiful, well worth a day trip.
When you fancy something more active, try mountain biking and Go Ape in Grizedale Forest. Then visit Wasdale which has the deepest lake, the highest mountain and the smallest church in the country!
The historic market town on Ulverston should be next on your list, home of Stan Laurel of Laurel and Hardy, cobbled street, tea rooms, authentic Art Deco Roxy cinema a real treat, they still have an interval at half time where the ice cream lady walks in selling here wares!
Other incredible things to see and do include:
- Roman forts and bathhouses at Ravenglass
- Old Hall Farm in Bouth, a historic working farm
- The Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway
- South Lakes Safari Zoo
- Furness Abbey
- Hill Top, Beatrix Potter's house
- Lakes Aquarium
