 What a lovely campsite made even better by the friendly welcome. After cycling all day we were welcomed to the site by the offer of a free burger, freshly cooked on the barbecue, and a space to pitch despite not having booked.
Despite being full we were given a pitch in the 'Wild camping' field. Although this was a short walk up a gravel track from the main site facilities (more later), it offered the best views of the local area and beyond.
The toilet facilities were basic but more than functional, very clean and the showers lovely and warm, perfect after the long day in the saddle.
We did not use most of the facilities available as we went into town to eat, despite the complementary burger, but there was a communal area that could be used for eating and preparing food, great for those rainy days when under a small canvas.
I recommend highly recommend this site, well done Moss Side Farm.

We stayed in the two rail cabins for two nights. They were spacious with plenty of space for two adults. The beds were comfortable and the cabins kept their warmth well. Be sure to bring your own lights or lamps as there are no lights in the cabin/camping area.
The campsite was kept well and tidy, something we really appreciated. In the washing up area, there were some electric kettles. The showers were clean and really hot, maybe a little too hot for June weather.
The owners were very friendly and their dogs were well behaved. Our children loved seeing the ducks and horses walking around. A lovely basic campsite.

On arrival friendly greeting, showed use where we could pitch, nobody else there, pitched a fantastic spot looking out over the countryside with a fire pit (could buy logs from farmer), nice peaceful, ducks roaming, horses in next field, sun shining, nice. Basic camping no hook ups.
Then the rain came down on second night/third day our pitch got water logged (hard ground)we ended up packing away & homeward bound.
Showers & toilets could make do only there for 3 nights, could do with some attention, shower had a shower curtain that didn't close well, nowhere to hang clothes, sink with nowhere to dry hands, water red hot, could do with mopping regularly.
Apparently there's an old railway track to go into the village, we were told we cant use this due to other farmer next door put his bull in field & is a bit grumpy, we were given an other route, but that didn't work out too well an ocean of cow poo prevented us from linking on to the track further down had to come back.

What else can be said beyond an enchanting little place? Well, allow me to try!
We started off by arriving in the nearby town of Broughton in Furness. (Side note, for ale lovers I advise venturing into the Mannor and for anyone looking for a fantastic all day breakfast, find your way to the Square Cafe. I honestly didn't eat anything else for the rest of the day and I'm a big guy!)
But I digress.
The walk to the site was lovely, down an old rail line where dog walkers and people out and about were happy to say a friendly hello, something sorely missing in some places. The site, not hard at all to find if you're capable of listening to even the simplest of directions or (as we did) have a map, is wonderfully simple. We got there in February and were the only ones there which meant the only thing to interrupt the peace and quiet was the sound of the birds in the trees and the occasional moo from a cow. (Not a bad point since it is to be expected from a working farm, though it must be noted that the ladies were, for the most part, quite polite in keeping their mooing volume down :) )
The camping pods are actually converted railway trams that are surprisingly roomy boasting a double bed AND bunk beds. As noted earlier, I'm a big guy coming in at a little over 6ft4' and I had plenty of head and leg room. Plus. BUNKBEDS! What better way to indulge your inner child? I'd have spent the entirety of my time up there if my wife hadn't given me 'the look'. But I digress again.
The rail pods come equipped with a log burner and Oh my word how lovely an addition they are! Logs can be purchased from the nearby petrol station though we actually brought our own. A good number was certainly enough to see us through the night and kept us warm throughout the evening. The lack of lighting within the pods is also something that contributes to the wonderfully rustic feel of the place. We have our own L. E. D lantern but candles might have been a better choice if we'd thought on or had room in our packs. We'll certainly know for next time! The scenery is also wonderful with sunrise revealing a glorious landscape over hill and dell since the previous day had been spent in freezing fog typical of the time of year.
The facilities are basic but all intrepid adventurers really need with toilets, showers and hot (and I do mean HOT) water.
All in all it made for a cosy place to sit and unwind.
In fact, the only negative thing I can think to say is simply if you've never been camping before or are simply an armchair explorer, you might want to build up to somewhere like this. (While leaving it available for the rest of us, ha ha!)
Special note must be made to the lady of the farm who was absolutely lovely. Thank you so much for providing such a great place. We will look forward to returning!

We received a very friendly welcome at the site and it was excellent value for money
The toilet and shower block were spotless.
The walk to the village of Broughton took 25 minutes along a disused railway line which was a pleasant after dinner stroll to a dog friendly pub
We will definitely return in the future

Good basic campsite. 2 ad 2 ch for 18 pound per night.
Beautiful view over the valley, all the way to the Irish Sea.
Tranquil
Fireplaces provided.
Arrive and pitch, pay later.
Nice barn to do the washing up and use when it is raining,
One shower was not working, sanitary is very small and there is a direct view from outside into the shower area.
The one chair to hang your clothes on when showering was shared by the two showers and cuvet. So you felt very intrusive to use it together with someone else.
My girls loved the horses and other animals.
We visited The old man of consiston, the sea, the mosses, a stone circle, the nice town Broughton in Furness, the lake. Al within reach, which makes for a good mixed holiday.

This is a lovely relaxed site within easy reach of the general hubbub of the east side of Windermere but nestled in the tranquility of the western lakes. We spent a week here in mixed weather but still managed to have campfires and BBQs.
The owners were very friendly and helpful albeit busy as this is a working farm. Fellow campers had very happy children who enjoyed all of the freedom and fresh air. The amenities appeared newly refurbished, the showers were free and always good and hot as was the water in the washing up area.
We walked down the old train line into Broughton and discovered an amazing little group of shops; bakers, grocers and butchers selling delicious produce, no need to try to find a supermarket! We did all of the usual, Motor Museum, Boat rip to Ambleside, fell walking, the Railway at Ravenglass and Grizedale plus other off the beaten track activities and the Segways at Graythwaite.
The weather could have been better but for a warm welcome and back to basics camping this site fits the bill. If you are in a tent you will definitely need rock pegs though

We stayed here for three nights in one of the old railway trucks which was really comfortable and warm once we got the stove going which was fantastic as we had two children with us
There are ducks and chickens wandering about and two small dogs which the children loved
It is a working farm so there are cars and tractors about but it is still really safe for the children
The shower blocks are small with only two toilets and one shower but very clean with hot water
There is a washing up area but it only has cold water
Great views and very quiet
Had to drive to most places but there is a track that goes into broughton that is about a 20min walk
Will definitely be back hopefully in the summer

We had a lovely 6 nights here over a wet half term.
The site is small but that makes it friendly and quiet, apart from the odd early morning wake up call from the farm animals.
The welcome is warm and friendly, despite the amount of work that goes on running campsite, farm, dog grooming and horse riding!
The ground is a little hard for pegs if you stay on the old railway track, but on the plus side you can walk the track into Broughton in 20 minutes.
It is great to find a site where you are actively encouraged to have fires, with fire drums provided and wood for sale. We had a fire most nights despite the rain.
The facilities are fine. Showers are hot and clean enough and the washing up area is refreshingly simple.
We found we needed to drive a lot to get to Lakes and attractions but we soon got the hang of that and it was nice to be able to escape the crowds.
