Camping at hayfield

  • Pop-up site at a friendly family farm five minutes from Ulverston
  • A five-minute drive to beach or safari zoo; 20 minutes to Windermere
  • Local pub and ice cream parlour within walking distance
If a spot just a few minutes away from both Ulverston and the Cumbria coast sounds like a good place to be (and it surely should…) then you’ll likely be most pleased with the setup at Camping at Hayfield. This pop-up site is part of a family farm, and it’s run by people who are keen on travelling and exploring who know a thing or two about what makes for a fab place to stay. It’s all about splendid simplicity here: facilities are limited to just portable toilets, so you can focus on the key elements of a peaceful stay (namely meeting the farm animals, checking out the gorgeous Lake District views and bonding over an evening by the barbecue or campfire…) Look out from the pitches and you’ll see rural views all around, with footpaths easily accessible for when you fancy getting out to see a bit more. Handily it’s about a 20-minute stroll to the local pub, and an even shorter one to an ice cream parlour. For more foodie options (including pubs, takeaways and supermarkets), it’s a five-minute drive up to Ulverston. A countryside site this may be, but as it’s not far from the A590 it’s also one that’s well placed for getting out and about. Some of the biggest sights in the Lake District National Park (including Windermere and Coniston Water) are about 20 minutes away by car, or you can get to Bardsea Beach or South Lakes Safari Zoo in about five minutes.

What customers say

This well-maintained and spacious campsite offers beautiful countryside views and is praised for its exceptionally friendly and helpful owners. Guests highlight the clean facilities, including warm showers and toilets. Children enjoy the farm animals, and the location is convenient for local attractions like an ice cream farm and town. While most experiences are overwhelmingly positive, a few minor points were raised regarding the lack of mirrors in showers and the basic nature of portaloos.

Laura B.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The warm welcome when we arrived from Beverley. The set up is great- pitch around the side which allows for a big space in the middle for the kids to play. The proximity to Ulverston and Piel Island was great. I can't recommend the seal tour enough. My son was allowed to join in with feeding the cows, herding the sheep and cutting the grass at Hayfield. He was absolutely overjoyed at the experience. Everyone seemed to respect quiet hours from around 10/11pm. The shower was also a lovely addition and was very refreshing. Porta loos are never a particularly pleasant experience but these were definitely the cleanest I've ever used and are cleaned daily.
The views during the day are beautiful as is the night sky, full of stars.

Disliked Some might consider the site quite basic in terms of amenities however we prefer that. We love having the space to do activities around the tent. So many camp sites, you're on top of each other. We had a great pitch on an absolutely glorious weekend.

From the manager: Wow, thank you sooo much for your fab review Laura, sorry I missed you before you left. It was our pleasure having you stay and seeing Jesse live his best live. We love what we do and just hope everyone loves it too. Hope to see you back soon

Joanne E.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The owners care about their site and their guests and the good reviews are well deserved. Lovely friendly atmosphere with drinks and snacks, fire pits and logs and helpful tips for places to visit - including the neighbouring ice cream farm. Don't be worried about the toilets - they are cleaned regularly. We extended our stay because we were having so much fun. Thank you!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Firstly ..... those children, an absolute credit to you both, the cutest little boy and kindest little girl (hope she enjoys her new school).

Thank you so much for your kind review Joanne, you probably noticed we love what we do so its good to hear people enjoy what we enjoy everyday.

Your spot over by the hedge is yours if you decide to call on us again, you will all be most welcome.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Large open field with great views. Toilet and shower very functional

Disliked Didn’t appear to have a quiet policy so late night music and chatter.

Low hedges so limited shelter from high winds.

I personally thought it was a little expensive for a site with limited facilities(£30 per night)

Not ideal for caravans or campers as there’s no Elsan point but apart from that it worked well for us in our motorhome
