A good rustic-style campsite. No frills but great views, and all the essentials. When we arrived we were told to choose where to pitch. We found it very hard to get tent pegs into the stony ground. This seemed to be a common problem wherever you chose to pitch. The toilets and showers are very basic and not the cleanest, but they were adequate and the water was hot and plentiful. There was a room with a freezer, and sockets to charge phones, and a wood stove. Also there was an area for washing up. I’d say there were too many people for the facilities available, at least in the school holidays. It may be better in quieter times. The owner was helpful and welcoming. The site is near to Broughton in Furness, which has a few shops and a very nice cafe. For anything more you need transport really. …

Second visit and it was even better than the first! We're absolutely in love with this campsite, we came the same time last year and loved it so much we decided to come again. It's very rural which means it comes with rural animals and bugs but it also means the views are fantastic. We stayed in one of the railway carriages which for us just means you're off the ground with a solid roof above your head but they have everything you need. It's a 16 min drive to Coniston and a 30 min walk in to Broughton (which has an amazing bakery). We did Scafell Pike last year but stayed in the Duddon Valley this year. We'll definitely be back again next year!

What a lovely little working farm! We have just returned from a nights stay in the railway hut, with our daughter and the dog which was a very enjoyable, peaceful night away, with beautiful views! Toilets and showers basic but we’re always clean, freezer and charging points, huts also had electric lights which was good , also came with picnic bench and fire pits! So cosy inside when the log burners going! Host Louise was lovely and very welcoming! Loved the fact the farm animals were left to free roam and came to greet us 🤍

Absolutely perfect for a little getaway. Railway cabins spacious and clean. Just the basics you need. Ignore the negative reviews. Toilets are joined onto a farm barn but clean and have running water etc. showers and a wash up bit and charging station. It has all you need and the location and views are fabulous

MossSide Farm Campsite We can always expect rustic-ness when camping. After all, it is part of the experience. However, when paying the most we have EVER paid for a campsite (and we’ve done quite a lot!) we at least expect a bit of cleanliness in the toilets and showers. Even just a wipe around either in the morning or the evening perhaps by the owner? Not at Moss side campsite sadly. The toilets were quite literally, filth. We thought maybe they were just old and stained sinks and loos, perhaps should be forgiven for the dirt and grime and wee and poo over each loo, Nope. By day 3 with no change, we bought bottles of bleach, antiseptic wipes and cleaned every loo and sink to sparkling. At the price they charge, it isn’t too much to ask for clean facilities. We understand and love the ‘farm’ setting, (we lived on a farm ourselves for three years) but the showers were filthy also (warm, thankfully) Plus extra charges for having well behaved dogs on leads, while their own pooches ran around the field, wee-ing on the tent and pooing in a neighbours shoe that had been left out. Despite that, as dog people, we enjoyed their company! Electric points were also boasted of, however, all of them are in the ‘bunkhouse’ - so if the bunkhouse was being used - there would be nowhere to charge anything, not an ideal situation. Yes. The website boasts of gorgeous views, this was a YES from us! Gorgeous sun in the mornings, and a friendly communication with the lady offering wood between 6.00 - 7.00. There is NO small shop on site selling marshmallows as mentioned on the website. Do not let the impression of the high price and the photos/descriptions on the website give you high expectations of the site. It is very, very basic. There is also no kind of basic management of where tents / cars are pitched. If you were on the ‘front row’ the views were gorgeous, if you were on the back row behind them - not so great, especially if large tents were in front. Walking past the piles of rubbish in the recycling area every time you walked from the tent to the loos was a real shame also. The cleanliness and expense of the site was a popular conversation in the field of guests. We left a day early, along with the neighbouring tent who was going to ‘shower at home’. …

Very average. £25 a night, non electric pitch. No tuck shop for essentials mentioned online. Wood available. We camp a lot and were a little disappointed the advert did not match the site. Pitches are not marked out, which gives you freedom to choose but there seems to be little control over/care of number of tents/campers/ people allowed which soon meant we were cramped with neighbours crossing our guy lines. Campers were pitching up past 21:30 some evenings with flashlights & car headlights beaming. Farm dogs were a nightmare roaming the site when campers dogs (rightly so) need to be on a lead. Several dogs hassled campers dogs and there was almost several dog fights. The campers dogs were soon off leads and left to bark into the night. Farm dogs came onto pitches uninvited and freely urinated up our tent/equipment! The cacophony of barking between farm & campers dogs borderline spoiled the stay at times. Insufficient toilets and showers for the number of people staying. I’m very happy with rustic but it’s run down and lacks privacy given the numbers on site, we opted to brush our teeth at the tent. Nice owner. Views are good and local walks and villages nice but not enough to make up for the cost and drawbacks mentioned above.…

Stayed here with a group of mates, we had a few of the rail cabins. The cabin was very rustic and tight for space, bed was comfy enough and the wood burner was good. I wouldn’t recommend the rail cabins for anyone who doesn’t like spiders or creepy crawlies. The cabins have gaps in the walls and floorboards so you get alot of insects from the outside in the cabins. Lots of cobwebs inside aswell. Toilets and showers were a bit run down but they do the job and were clean(ish). There is a room that has plug sockets and a freezer, handy for charging electronics and refreezing ice packs. Lots of friendly animals roaming around, unfortunately there is a group of terriers running around the site terrorising other dogs and the farm animals, I would be reluctant to bring my own dog to this site. Louise who helped us with check in was friendly and helpful. Overall i’d recommend this site for couples or solo campers wanting a break in a less touristy area of the Lakes. This site isn’t for groups of lads as you’re not allowed to play music and noise has to be kept down by 22:30. Would I come back? Maybe, I wouldn’t stay in a rail cabin again if I did.…

Very average campsite. £84 for 3 nights for 2 adults, 1 well behaved dog always on a lead, without electric hook up. We camp a lot and were disappointed. Pitches a bit random and not marked out. Seems little control over number of units/people allowed. Farm dogs a nightmare roaming the site when campers dogs (rightly so) need to be on a lead. Two cairn terriers hassled campers dogs and there was almost a dog fight in the adjacent unit when the cairns were visiting with out an invitation. A white jack russel which belonged to the farm was not under control and came onto pitches uninvited and cocked his leg on cooking equipment! Insufficient toilets and showers for the number of people staying. I’m very happy with rustic but it’s all a bit tatty and run down. Farm animals as in ducks etc. very welcome. Two very large rams also “escaped” and were on the campsite one night and they can be a bit unpredictable. Nice owner. Views are good and local walks and villages nice but not enough to make up for the cost and drawbacks mentioned above.…

Room Tip: Probably best not to take your dog as it’s too much hassle with the farm dogs roaming wild

Lovely friendly site. When you feel the need for some nature go here. All the animals are really friendly. They all come visit. Beautiful views. There is a room with a freezer and plenty of plug sockets for recharging.

Absolutely loved the stay here. As mentioned it’s a working farm so if you’re not keen on animals roaming about I’d stay clear… however the animals made the trip for me! The ducks and dogs would make the rounds to come and check on us during the day (probably more interested in the food than us but I’ll take it) The showers and toilets are basic but the water was hot and they were never short of toilet paper and always seemed clean enough during our stay. Would definitely stay here again
