About Low Greenside Farm Campsite
At the foot of the Howgill Fells in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this site is perfect for a relaxed camping or glamping holiday for couples, families or friends. This beautiful, quiet, unspoiled area is ideal for exploring both the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District - but with none of their hustle and bustle. On this eco-friendly site, everything is designed to be sustainable without sacrificing looks, comfort or utility. Well designed, low impact buildings house attractive, family size shower rooms with walk-in showers, modern water saving toilets, washing up sinks, fridge, freezer and secure phone charging all included. Large areas of grass in the centre of the camping field are kept long as a meadow for wildlife (and for children to roll about in!), and there is a programme of planting native trees, shrubs, and wildflowers. The owners are proud to have a Silver Award from the Green Tourism Scheme. Large pitches for tents and three campervan pitches are positioned around the central meadow, leaving plenty of room for everyone to enjoy in peace. The site is justly proud that many visitors return year after year or several times a year. After a day out exploring, return home to a peaceful campsite to watch the sunset and enjoy life's simple pleasures while swallows swoop across the meadow. The friendly sheep are very happy to be fed bits of bread and will come trotting over when they see you. If you're lucky, you'll see a red squirrel popping along the drystone walls. Wander down to one of the two village pubs or light your campfire, toast your marshmallows and wait for the stars to come out in an inky black sky. The campsite is in an International Dark Skies Reserve and is a Dark Sky Business. There are two options for glampers - Far Field Yurt for couples or families, and Green Bell Tent for couples only. Both offer the chance to relax in peace, comfort and privacy while surrounded by nature! What could be better? The yurt and bell tent are in a separate field framed by a little woodland behind and a meadow with gorgeous views in front. They are separated by a block of trees. Each has its own fully equipped kitchen (including cool box with ice blocks provided) and bijou private composting toilet. Each has its own private garden with campfire and BBQ, lovely double hammock (great for stargazing!), picnic table and seating. All glamping is off-grid with solar powered lighting and phone charging. Far Field Yurt is fully insulated and beautifully equipped for couples or families. Inside is light and spacious, with large windows and a clear central roof dome for stargazing. Furnished with a wood burning stove to keep you toasty warm, handmade and vintage furniture, and comfy modern beds. The yurt's kitchen hut is equipped to cook proper meals for up to five people. Fully made up double bed. Pillows and bottom sheet are provided for up to 3 single beds. Cot available on request. Like the yurt, Green Bell Tent is spacious, comfy, and very private with its own kitchen and garden. Fully made up comfy double bed, carpet and cosy furnishings. Either camping or glamping, Low Greenside is perfect for romantic getaways or family holidays. There's plenty of space for quiet contemplation of the gorgeous views as well as running wild and playing games.
Pitches and the yurt are available from 10th April, the bell tent from the start of May. The site closes mid September.
The individual shower rooms are all family size. Toilets are all in separate rooms, each with its own basin. Other facilities include indoor washing up area, laundry sinks, ice block freezer, fridge, sockets for hairdryers and blowing up airbeds. Secure phone charging lockers. All facilities are free of charge. A fire pit is included on every pitch and there is EV charging onsite.
Two dog-friendly village pubs serving local food and ales within a 15 minute walk, in the village of Ravenstonedale.

Things to do on site and in the Kirkby Stephen area
There's plenty to see and do in this lovely corner of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, with pretty villages and interesting market towns to explore, lots of nice little shops and cafes with friendly people running them. You'll find the roads quiet, no parking problems, and walking very peaceful.
There's a great choice of long and short walks from your tent door. The campsite offers a useful walking guide - Nine Great Walks from Low Greenside (£3). Smardale Ghyll Nature Reserve is a favourite walk from the farm, crossing a big old railway viaduct - see massive lime kilns, lots of wildflowers and rare butterflies. Boweberhead Nature Reserve with its beautiful upland hay meadows and re-wiggled beck is another favourite.
Other circular walks from the farm are via one of the two village pubs, all through beautiful limestone countryside. You can also walk straight out to the Howgill Fells and go all day with only sheep and ponies for company.
Pretty Ravenstonedale village is a 10 minute stroll away. The Black Swan and The King's Head both serve excellent food (including breakfasts if you're feeling indulgent) and real ales.
There's a lovely, informal, and inexpensive 9/18 hole golf course (clubs available free of charge at the campsite), a public tennis court (bring racquets), children's playground, interesting church with monastic ruins, and an art gallery with coffee and homemade cakes. Catch a vintage bus from the village to visit Kendal or Barnard Castle on weekly market days.
Nearby is Bessy Beck Trout Farm where you can fish - catch one and BBQ it on your campfire!
In Kirkby Stephen (5 miles), you can shop locally for everything you're likely to need. There are lots of cafes and small shops to explore as well as a supermarket.
Visit the little railway museum free of charge and ride on a steam train.
Follow the Poetry Path through Stenkrith Park along an extraordinary and beautiful stretch of the River Eden.
Ride on the scenic Settle-Carlisle Railway from Kirkby Stephen for a day out to Settle, Appleby or Dentdale.
The Eden Valley is lovely to explore, with quiet roads, pretty villages, small attractions, and unspoiled and varied countryside. Appleby and Sedbergh are both nearby and worth visiting. Far Field Mill Arts and Heritage Centre near Sedbergh is a place to stop for tea on a return trip from Hawes where there is lots to see and do.
The campsite stocks an up-to-date range of visitor information including walking trails.
