Birchbank is a small campsite on a Lake District sheep farm, located on the fells between Coniston Water and the Duddon Estuary. The site has a small stream running through it which the children love to play in and is next to the fell, with footpaths and bridleways directly from the gate making it ideal for walking and cycling.

I came with 2 friends for a weekend away. Found the campsite very relaxed and a great location for walking up the nearby mountains and feeling nice and remote.

Very nice place

Very nice place in a quiet and secluded area with only about an hour drive to a lot of places within the Lake District.

Nice, quiet location appropriately priced

Great rural location for a relaxed and quiet getaway to visit the Southern Lakes or Cumbrian coast. All amenities very clean and suitable to all abilities. Internet access ok. We would 100% recommend this site.

Very quiet site with spectacular views

My son and I had a fantastic stay here, using it as our base from which to explore the southern part of the Lake District. The site's basic facilities were all that's needed and were clean and well maintained. The location is breath-taking, and the approach road is an experience itself with horses and sheep free to roam. The site feels super remote but is within a short drive of some amazing parts of the lakes.

Simple, quiet stay

It was a nice spot, I think it was a bit overpriced for what you get. However, camping sites in general have have gone up, so it is what is.

Lovely camp on a peaceful farm with great access to the Lakes

Clean facilities and a lovely stay on a working farm. We liked being in the fells and surrounded by nature, but were still close enough to explore the Lakes.

Beautiful farmland camping

Great location. The site is small and basic but very clean. It feels very secluded but easy to travel to and from. Would definitely stay again.

Like camping in the Lakes should be

Small camp field in a working farm? Clean and bright facilities? Warm and helpful welcome? Exactly how everything should be. We’ll definitely be back.

Lovely rural site

What a great rural campsite this is. A gem of a find. The facilities are excellent and the host keeps this place immaculate for a working farm and very polite couple. Many walks out on to the Fells. Will definitely be returning.

Brilliant middle of nowhere perfect

As remote as it gets, only the sounds of nature - mainly sheep and cows. Loved it.

I had a fabulous stay at Birchbank farm! The site itself is lovely, I camped beside the stream and enjoyed the sound of water on a night time! The facilities are well maintained, this is only a basic campsite as advertised but has certainly impressed me. Staff are lovely, showers and toilets are cleaned regularly. There's an onsite fridge and freezer for use. And a tumble dryer if needed too! Plenty of things close by e.g shops, bars and gas stations. I particularly liked how isolated you felt as this is located in the hills so plenty of beautiful walking opportunities to get away from the everyday hustle! I would certainly stay here again! Oh and of course the cute on-site cats who welcome you with a big rub up your leg! Thank you again!
