Peaceful, private camping and glamping on our family farm in Cumbria

We are now taking bookings for 2025 and 2026. Our popular private camping fields are open from May to September each year and our Arctic cabin is open all year round (except for March and April when we close for lambing time). Located in between the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales, adjacent to Hutton Roof Crags SSSI and Farleton Knott SSSI, we are perfectly situated for walking, mountain biking, climbing, nature spotting and most importantly: relaxing. We are well set up for families, small groups and those looking for privacy and tranquillity. We can also take exclusive hire bookings. Whilst we are dog friendly, please be aware that our site is based on a working dairy and sheep farm which means there may be livestock in adjacent fields to our pitches. We would love to hear from you, so please do get in touch with any questions.

Sustainable Camping

Proud to be partnered with the Greener Camping Club – our eco-responsible camp site offers unique, secluded pitches with beautiful views of the surrounding countryside and instant access to public footpaths and bridleways.

Our site is based on a working dairy and sheep farm. This means there will be livestock adjacent to the pitches throughout the season. We are dog friendly, but we ask that dogs are kept on leads and supervised at all times. We are closed during March and April for lambing time.

If you would love to come and would prefer to book a separate holiday for your four legged friend, there is also an amazing family-run dog boarding kennels just a 5 minute drive away from our site and we highly recommend Barking Mad for happy dog holidays!

What We Offer

Whether you’re looking for a private camping field with private facilities and heaps of space to roam or a few more home comforts in our en-suite Arctic cabin situated in a private garden we’d like to think we have something tor everyone. Our site is perfect for outdoor-enthusiasts who are looking for a secluded and environmentally-friendly camping or glamping experience. For single camping bookings, please contact us for availability. The pitches are all in fields which you can only walk to.

We are perfect for singles, couples, families of any size, groups of families all wanting to camp together… We welcome anyone who just wants to get away from it all for a few days and enjoy the beautiful surroundings!

Our check in days are Fridays, but we can be flexible for last minute stays. Most of our stays are a minimum of 7 nights due to the off-grid nature of our site. However, please contact us and we’ll do our best to help.
