  • Small, quiet and friendly farm site with spectacular views
  • Lots of room and spacious pitches
  • Several walks direct from the farm including onto the Howgill Fells
For splendid walks among grazing animals, and nights gazing up at big open skies, Low Greenside Farm is an excellent bet for an outdoorsy break of the old-school variety. This small, quiet and friendly site is on a sheep farm in a level field, with spectacular Cumbria countryside views in all directions: the owners say it's 'camping as it used to be', with spacious pitches set around the edge of a large field. There are assorted hill and valley hikes from the site, where up-to-date info is on hand to help you pick places to walk, eat and visit, as well as sorting countryside events and day trip ideas. There's direct access onto the Howgill Fells for long walks, where sheep and ponies will keep you company; the Lakes, the Dales and the lovely Eden Valley are all close by for days out. Campfires are allowed in the hearths provided with logs available to purchase at the farm, and guests can also blaze up a barbecue on site. Ravenstonedale village – a five-minute walk from the farm – has two country pubs with riverside gardens, both serving food and real ales. For foodie supplies you might also want to check out the nearby farmers’ market, or drive over to one of the surrounding towns and villages.

What customers say

Stunning views, generous sites, and top-notch modern facilities (incl. luxury showers, free perks). Eco-friendly, with handy wheelbarrows. Near walks & pubs. Road noise & occasional toilet queues noted, but most loved it & would return. Spotty cell service for some.

Rob H.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Relaxed atmosphere, excellent facilities with lots of attention to detail like the recharging points in lockers, fire pits and friendly staff. Plus they don’t try to squeeze too many tents in like some campsites. Great value too!

Disliked Nothing at all!

From the manager: Thank you for your review Rob - just what we like to hear! So glad you like it so much and we'll look forward to eeing you again.

Alexzandra B.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked This was our favourite campsite of all the ones we’ve stayed on. The facilities are amazing. Toilet blocks - exceptionally clean, always well stocked. They’re eco toilets and so I didn’t know what to expect but they smelt better than most other campsite toilets.
Shower block-again, really clean. Each shower is in its own little room with a chair and a sink and hooks for your things and then you get into a really decent sized shower, with a basket to hang put all your bits in. (Showers are free)
In the shower block area there are also several sinks for pot washing, a fridge and a freezer and a kettle for communal use, a little seating area for if you’re waiting, a little area with plug sockets and a mirror and several lockers where you can charge your devices. There is also a little shelf where you can leave unwanted items for other people to use.
The site itself is spacious, really well looked after. Cars aren’t allowed on the camping field but there are wheelbarrows to get your stuff to your pitch. Every pitch comes with a firepit at no extra charge, logs are really reasonably priced and kindling is free. The site is also really dark as the toilet blocks and everything are sort of behind it so the views of the stars at night are incredible. The views in the day are equally beautiful as it’s surrounded by hills and countryside. There is no music allowed on the site which is actually lovely, because it’s so peaceful. People are up chatting but there isn’t excessive noise from anywhere and it’s lovely. Dogs, awnings, gazebos, large pitches are all included in the price as standard. The owner is great, couldn’t be more friendly and helpful and honestly they have thought of everything. The little details here really make a difference. I’ve never considered camping without electric for more than a long weekend but here I will because there are so many little things that would make it easy to do. Thank you so much! We loved it! 100% going back.

Disliked Honestly couldn’t think of anything.

Hope to see you again soon.

From the manager: Thanks for your recommendation, Lindsay, and telling people what you enjoy here. I think this was your 4th visit and we're always pleased to see you.
What WE love is that, like yourselves, our campers enjoy the simple pleasures of being in a beautiful, quiet, safe, clean, natural environment, and sharing it with others who enjoy peaceful play and relaxation. It makes for a happy, friendly atmosphere for everyone, from tiny tots upward. What's not to like about that!
Look forward to seeing you again.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked A lovely spacious campsite with great views and great facilities. Brand new shower block, free hot water, free use of fridge and freezer plus free phone charging sockets in a locker so you can safely leave your phone charging. Good recycling facilities and the use of wheelbarrows for transporting your gear to your chosen spot. Only downside is the noise of traffic from the nearby A road. Would stay here again, it’s one of the best campsites I’ve stayed on for many years.

Local attractions

There are plenty of interesting local walks and bike rides in the region – several of which start at the farm gate – with refreshments to be had at pubs and cafés en route. The Howgill Fells are a few minutes' stroll up the lane. There's excellent access to both the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales, with the equally scenic Eden Valley another option for those looking to avoid the crowds. Close to the site, you can go pony trekking or trout fishing – catch one and barbecue it later (the trout, not the pony...) Ravenstonedale village has a playground, public tennis court, nine and 18-hole golf course and a small art gallery to take in. The market towns of Kirkby Stephen, Appleby and Sedbergh are all within hiking distance. For some food and tipples to finish the day with back at base, head to Hawes (40 minutes' drive) for cheese from the Wensleydale Creamery and craft beers from the Yorkshire Dales Brewery.
