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 campsite offers spacious pitches, beautiful views, and exceptionally friendly and helpful owners. Facilities are generally clean and functional, though some visitors noted they are basic. Children particularly enjoy interacting with the farm animals. While most guests had a perfect stay, some experienced queues for toilets and showers during busy periods, and one review mentioned cold water for washing up. Overall, a highly recommended site for a relaxed getaway.

Liked The hosts are lovely and will go out of their way to help you enjoy your stay. Field and facilities are clean and well kept. Beautiful scenery all around. Close to the town plus a village even closer is another option.

Disliked The weather ! It’s the Lakes 😏

Liked Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Had absolutely everything you need and more.

Beverley and her husband were so friendly and accommodating. On our first afternoon they let our little boy drive one of the tractors, and he hasnt stopped talking about it since. Keeps telling everyone it was his favourite part of our holiday!

Can't fault it. Great stay from start to finish. We'll be back.
