About Moss Howe Farm Campsite

This attractive site is a space where families, couples and just good friends can enjoy a tranquil retreat. The farm is based in the secluded Winster Valley, with breathtaking views and plenty of wildlife to be found nearby. Tents and VW campervans can pitch up on a range of non electric pitches, ranging from 2.5m x 3m to 5m x 6m, sleeping a maximum of six guests. There are also three premium non electric grass pitches available, each 5m x 7m for up to six guests with a picnic bench and fire pit, great for nights under the stars. Sprinter and VW campervans also have the choice of the two electric grass pitches measuring 3m x 5m and allowing up to six people. For those who prefer glamping, the site also offers a range of mini lodge pods and yurts. The two mini lodges are furnished, including a three-quarter bed, with fresh bedding supplied. They also have electric and heating to keep you nice and warm. You will also find your own private compact kitchen with a food prep area in which you will find a cooking stove, kettle and all the cooking equipment you will need. There is a picnic bench for evenings outdoors, along with one of the pods offering a hot tub! There are also four spacious 18ft yurts available on the farm, each sleeping up to six in a double and four single futons. Inside you'll have cosy furnishings including blankets, storage and a wood-burning fire for those cooler months. Shared shower and toilet facilities can also be found nearby.

A maximum of two dogs are welcome on all of the pitches and in each of the pods and pet friendly yurts, just please keep them on the lead.

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Gravel Campervan PitchesOct 2024

However, although it is a nice site, not really set up for campervans staying more than one night. There is no Elsan point, drinking water supply or grey water disposal point. The site needs an Elsan point, drinking water supply and grey waste disposal for campers etc.

Site's response

Hi Gary, Glad you liked our slice of Lake District paradise. I'm sorry you felt that you would not be able to stay longer than one night in your campervan. We do have a facility for topping up drinking water, you just needed to ask at reception and we could have provided you with a hose we keep specifically for this purpose. We don't currently have a waste disposal point but this isn't something we advertise as being available on site either. We only fairly recently took over the site and have made many improvements to the overall camping experience. Adding a waste disposal point for campervans is very much on the list, especially as we plan to open all year next year. We do however have many campervans come and stay with us for multiple nights without issue. We hope you will come back and stay with us another time as we continue to develop the site. Thanks for staying with us. Moss Howe Farm team.

Lovely, with great pizza

VW-Type Campervan - Medium Optional Electric Grass PitchesOct 2024

A great place. It was the end of the season when I stayed, it was really quiet. Lovely flat pitches and well signposted through lanes from the main road. The facilities were good and clean. The onsite shop was well stocked and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Peaceful, beautiful, perfect

This site was one of the highlights of our trip to the lakes and completely unexpected. This is a gem of a site, with beautiful views, great loo block (clean and spacious), small shop with plenty of items, hot drinks (the hot chocolate was delicious!) and the most peaceful feeling. We absolutely loved visiting this site, and will definitely go back. They were mowing most of the day, which was a little annoying for noise, but we think there was a problem with the mower, so all is forgiven! It's worth noting that no one is at reception until 4pm, but the pitches were on a whiteboard and easy to find. Thank you for a lovely stay!
