What customers say
Moss Side Farm is a peaceful, adults-only campsite on a working farm, highly recommended for its stunning views, tranquil atmosphere, and friendly hosts. Visitors appreciate the spacious pitches, proximity to walking routes, and the charm of roaming farm animals. Facilities are described as basic but clean and functional. While some mention rocky ground, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many planning return visits. A few reviews note occasional noise from other campers or basic facilities.

Relaxed vibe, superb views, really loved it!
Rail camping pod
Liked As a novice camper loved the idea of the railway sheds with heat/light/real beds. Louise was a fabulous host and welcomed us warmly, told us all about the farm and area. Availability of fire wood, helped ourselves to apples, plums, pears! Really relaxed feel to the place - absolutely loved and will return. Felt very rustic and homely.
Disliked Nothing to dislike - views sensational and as someone who has had a bad experience of camping it really changed my view!

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Beautiful spot with good facilities. Host is lovely. There are nearby walks for a morning/evening stroll & firewood & fire starters available for making an evening fire to keep warm.
Disliked The road to the camp is bumpy! Go slow! :)

Fantastic campsite in an idyllic location, we plan to stay again!
Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely campsite run by a friendly family. The site has showers, toilets and a hot water sink area for washing up. There are also various farm animals wandering around, so you will get the full rural farm experience! We were staying as a pair of couples, and Louise (the owner) made us feel very welcome. Firepits and logs/kindling/firestarters are also sold, which was great as we forgot ours at home! We plan to stay again as the views, facilities and staff were all fantastic. There was even good phone signal!
Disliked The only thing I could really criticize is the water pressure; as all of the showers are connected to a single water line, the pressure drops quite sharply when several people are in there. The showers also have those water-saving timer buttons that last around 20 seconds, if you let it go off you may struggle to get your water pressure back if its busy. We just started getting up earlier to miss the morning rush.

Perfect countryside getaway.
Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked We had a really lovely time at Moss Side, absolutely loved the site. Louise was super friendly and helpful, amenities on site were fantastic, hot showers, always tidy and clean. We were able to buy firewood and use a fire pit which was great for campfire s’mores! The view was beautiful and the whole place was great for a peaceful getaway. We loved the farm animals wandering around, friendly dogs, along with goats, chickens, ducks and a cockerel! There’s a great walk to the village straight from the site which we enjoyed. No faults, would love to come again.

Liked Absolutely stunning! Checking in was very easy and in few minutes we had our spot to pitch up our tents, no issues at all! ✨️
Felt like home. Beautiful farm with a lot of animals running around ( if you are animal lover like us). Very peaceful, with amazing views and green surroundings.
Campfires are allowed which is a big bonus so you can sit around the fire in the evenings after all day of exploring Lake District.
Everyone was so lovely and facilities were very well maintained. Can't fault anything 👏
