Baystone Bank Farm Campsite

Whicham Valley, Millom, Cumbria, LA18 5LY

Situated in the south western Lake District National Park
Baystone Bank Farm Campsite, Whicham Valley offers pitches for tents, campervans, motorhomes, caravans, dogs, you name it! We even have Glamping Pods for those looking for more luxury. Large groups by prior arrangement.

50+ Camping pitches (7 with electricity), 7 Hardstanding pitches and 3 Bespoke WigWam Pods on wooden decking with hot tubs, neighbouring our Luxury Timber Roundhouse.

Grass pitches are located alongside a beautiful shallow running stream which is ideal for children to play in. The pitches are level and each one has its own fire pit area for campfires (logs sold onsite).

Most pitches are close to the facilities, which include a toilet and shower block kitted with pot washing facilities kept to a high standard.

Hardstanding pitches are slightly elevated overlooking the Whicham Valley. Each pitch is level, with electric hook up and has its own fire pit area for campfires.

There is a lovely area which was the farm orchard, which now has four new wooden decking areas with three caravans with fairy lights and bunting galore! Kids can run free, enjoying the stream or relaxing by the table and chairs enjoying the firelight (fire pits by side of decking), no BBQ or Fire on the decking please.

You will find two WigWam Pods and The Roundhouse on the terrace overlooking the campsite. All our Pods are set up to provide an easy solution to your camping requirements, fully furnished with a double bed and a double sofa bed inside. You do need to bring your own bedding and towels for a stay in the cabins (or you can hire Bedding Kits) and you can BBQ on our firepits that come with cooking grills!

The view from your doorstep will take your breath away, while at night the stars shine so brightly. On a full moon you won't even need a torch!

The ancient woodland Scroggs on the bank and alongside the stream provides shelter for a wealth of birds and other wildlife, with the occasional deer and plenty of buzzards. If you like the idea of a small and peaceful campsite based on a working farm with sheep and horses meandering around, and buzzards soaring overhead, look no further.
Baystone Bank Farm Campsite is situated in the south western Lake District National Park in Cumbria.

Across the meadow is Baystone Bank Farm's very own horse riding centre, Cumbrian Heavy Horses.

The campsite is a 5-minute drive or a half hour walk to the nearest pub The Punch Bowl in local village of Hallthwaites. For more options, drive the 10 minutes to Broughton-in-Furness, where there's a trio of good pubs open all year round. There is also the Beach Cafe at Haverigg by the sea where there is a playground for the young ones which is also about t 8-10 mins away and the Harbour pub which is reasonably priced and offers a 3 course Sunday lunch which is good value. Do ask individuals, we have numbers for local establishments a plenty.

There are endless walking opportunities. A series of footpaths run through the farm, with routes up both Black and White Combe (the foothills are accessible from the campsite) and the rest of the National Park on your doorstep. Coniston Water (10 miles) is the closest of the main lakes nearby, but there are several smaller tarns that you can walk around, too including Rydal Water and Tarn Hows. Grizedale Forest is only 30 minutes drive away and offers miles of fabulous off road mountain biking.
