Moss Side Farm Campsite sits in the beautiful southern fells of the Lake District National Park. Quietly nestled in scenic Woodland Valley, close to Coniston. Views here are second to none. This small, family-run campsite is a traditional Lakeland Hill farm with sheep, cows, horses, ducks, pigs and hens onsite. There are many beautiful footpaths leading to and from the site, as well as space to relax and explore.

Absolutely loved it, lovely quiet site, good showers, clean washing up area and the farm animals wandering round added to the enjoyment. Views from the site were amazing and it was a lovely quiet site also. Will definitely be returning.

Lovely campsite

The site is quiet, the host was friendly & helpful. For the price, I was expecting hot showers but I couldn't find them, just stone cold water.

Lovely farm site with absolutely stunning views. The site is a quiet site no load noise after 10.30pm. Goats, chickens, ducks and the farms dogs roam freely and all know how to beg for food. Facilities are basic but very clean and there is a hot water washing up area. I will definitely want to visit again.

Lovely stay! Thanks!

Had 5 nights, lovely views, quiet (wouldn't suit young party goers) and the home sourced burgers are good. Friendly and accommodating working farm.

Great stay over

Lovely site. Great owners to meet and greet you when you arrive and gave details of the areas to visit. Would be nice to have shower curtains as I'm a little shy.

Site's response

We have lovely shower curtains in the shower block!! You must have looked into the old shower room!! No shower heads, water, pipes or curtains!! Ohh dear!! You should have said something 🤭

Peaceful camping

Lovely campsite situated in lakes, short drive to lots of lovely walks and tourist attractions as well as the coast. Great views looking out over countryside. Proper loos and warm showers. The homemade beef burgers bought from the farm were delicious too!

Lovely stay!

Superb no frills farm campsite in a stunning location, secluded, picturesque pitch spots - beautiful views... A very warm welcome was given & there was a very welcoming, relaxed feel about the place & the owners. Facilities are basic, but perfectly adequate. There is somewhere to wash pots & nice warm showers. Exactly the kind of campsite I love. Please. Don't change a thing! 🙂

Great place

There are a few pitch sites at Moss Side Farm and we chose to set up camp at the top of the hill. There were a few other couples up with us but there was enough space for us all to have a private area of sorts and keep ourselves to ourselves. Due to injuries we weren't up to much hiking, so just stayed local, but the spot was idyllic, and the view from our tent pitch spectacular. The perfect weekend getaway. We were lucky enough to have a clear night on the Saturday so stargazing with a campfire (using wood and firelighters purchased from the farm) was a true highlight. Being on top of the hill meant the facilities (water tap, showers) were a little further away, but that's the choice you make for a more secluded spot. There was a portaloo at least! The car struggled to get up the hill a bit as the dirt track up it is a bit rough and worn away in places but we managed. There's a knack to it I'm sure! Louise the owner was lovely, very accommodating. We were late on the Friday, past check-in o'clock, and it was no problem. She was nearly one dog down when we were leaving as one of the little farm dogs came for some cuddles (perhaps hoping to score a sausage or two from our breakfast) - gorgeous little thing! We really enjoyed our stay at Moss Side Farm and would definitely come stay again. Just what we needed.

Fantastic and accommodating

It was beautiful. The campsite was extremely clean and quiet. We unfortunately had a car breakdown and they allowed us to use their personal lift and tools to fix our car! Highly recommend Moss Side Farm.

Authentic farm stay

We stayed in one of the rail cabins and it was lovely and spacious. The wood burner is a nice touch, but not practical for heating over night, as you'd need to put logs on every couple of hours, so bring warm blankets! Lots of friendly animals roaming the grounds and very friendly staff!

Lovely rustic site

Lovely site for a weekend of rustic camping. Lovely to see the animals having free reign around the site. Beautiful location. Calm and tranquil. Some lovely touches around the site and Louise, the owner, was very friendly. Great walk to the village, which is full of friendly people. A fantastic choice of pubs.

Great campsite, fantastic views and welcome

Was a last minute booking getaway for us. Super pleased we managed to get booked in. Lovely location, fantastic welcome, beautiful views across the valley. Great that you could have a campfire, spaced out "free camping" within reason. Lots more accommodation options than we realised, but we were really pleased with our campervan pitch. The only slight negative was showers/toilets - both were perfectly ok, totally clean, working and really cannot complain but only two cubicles in guys so when busy in morning it was a bit of a wait. The showers were again ok, warm and clean but lacking pressure, more of a "good dribble" than a shower... but I'm being picky here. Overall, a great campsite, lovely welcome by owner and told us how to get into village where few pubs and coffee shops were. All good.

Easy peaceful camping with a great view

If you like a small, peaceful, no-frills campsite, then buy a groundsheet protector, some rock tent pegs (with hammer) and book to stay here. Remember this is a working farm, so there might not be someone waiting to greet you. Just call the number and you will be met swiftly by one of the friendly helpful staff, and maybe a duck, goose and a puppy. Go with the flow here, the mood is very laid back, which creates a lovely peaceful ambience. The showers are warm, clean and free, but could possibly benefit from a little more water pressure, if I am being overly picky. There is no EHU, but there is a shared freezer, so bring extra ice blocks to keep your cool-box chilled. The owners ask you to separate your recycling, which appeared to be really popular with all guests when we were there. There is a 30-40 min easy walk down into the village where there are 3 pubs, butcher, baker and general store. There is also a petrol station. The walk back includes a short steep road just before the campsite, but you will see this when you leave the campsite. The main part of the walk is along a disused railway line, which has a couple of lovely spots to stop at. The main camping ground is pretty rocky under the grass, so I recommend a groundsheet protector and rock pegs are a must. But you will be rewarded with a beautiful view. You may be joined from time to time by the friendly farm dogs, geese, chickens or sheep.... none of these will cause you any concern. Just remember to keep your pitch clean and tidy and don't leave rubbish bags lying around (I don't just mean Gola bags). When you arrive to check-in, look out for the "guard ducks". They are not aggressive, but they like their spot by the gate so just drive slowly. What a cracking little site with super friendly staff.

My wife and myself had a fantastic time staying at Moss farm. It is a beautiful place to stay and the railway cabins are very comfortable and a great way to glamp. Louise was very happy and helpful. Great calm atmosphere.

What a beautiful campsite, with rolling hill views and great pubs in walking distance. A lovely lady welcomed us, we parked our van in the dark and woke up to a stunning view in the morning. We had a lovely walk to Broughton in Furness that has a couple of great pubs just half an hour walk away so we did that twice for lunch and with friends later on in the night. Great location for a rural camp with a lovely vibe on a working farm. Hot showers and friendly dogs, what more could you ask for?!

Nice farm site near Coniston
