Old Waterslack Farm

The gentle rustle of canvas in the Lake District breeze and the distant bleat of sheep set the soundtrack at Old Waterslack Farm, where Cumbrian countryside stretches in every direction beneath ever-changing skies. Morning mist often clings to the surrounding fells, burning off to reveal the kind of pastoral views that draw campers back to this corner of northwest England year after year.

This working farm site welcomes tents, campervans and caravans, making it ideal for families seeking an authentic rural escape or couples wanting to explore the Lakes without the crowds of the honeypot villages. The Cumbrian location puts you within striking distance of both dramatic mountain scenery and quieter valley walks, though you'll want to arrive well-prepared as facilities information is limited.

Campfires may be permitted, but you'll need to check the current policy on arrival—always worth asking as rules can vary by season and conditions. The farm atmosphere provides that genuine back-to-basics camping experience where the stars shine brighter and the pace slows to match the rhythm of agricultural life surrounding you.
