Tent Pitches are a reasonable, minimum 70 square metre space for you and your tent. Some pitches allow parking, some do not. If the weather has been utterly foul we might request that you park in the car park to avoid you getting stuck or damaging the pitch.
Car/small campervan space included in pitches S1-10 and on Electric pitches E1-8 where you have access to an electric hook up. If it is REALLY wet weather we will re-site you if a camper van, or ask you to park in the car park to avoid you getting stuck or damaging the pitch..
No car spaces in the car free zone (S11-18 and CFS 19-23) and outlying fields. Parking is on spaces nearby or the car park, a couple of mins walk maximum
Hard standing for Campervans, Motorhomes, caravans – a two space hard standing area with grass for relaxing on next to it. 
Check the map and individual pitch for full details before booking. 
You will need to bring everything! If you forget something please, do ask as if we can help, we will! The shop stocks sleeping bags, karrimats, tent pegs and a variety of camping items which might be of help!

Our main site has a shower block with toilets and dish washing facilities, as well as water points located in various places around the main site. Our Bramless and Little Mead fields have their own toilet block and water point!

ALL tent pitches are for minimum two nights over a weekend, the bell tents are different, see below

Unfortunately, this is not possible on all pitches due to the nature of both the site and camping in the Lake District on a fell farm generally, but we would always endeavour to accommodate any disability, as many of the pitches would easily be wheelchair accessible.. The best course of action is to give us a quick call before booking to confirm the accessibility of your preferred site.

Sorry, no, we do not offer Wi-Fi. We are happy that this is a site where you and your family can have some time interacting with each other! There is quite good mobile reception though.

Check in times are between 3-7pm, why not arrive early and get a feel for the local area? If you are running behind schedule, make sure to call ahead and let us know. We do not allow vehicles onto the main site after 10pm so campers can sleep. Check out is by 11am.

IF you accidently break or damage anything, please don’t let it spoil your stay. Just let one of our on-site team know so they can provide a replacement.
In some circumstances there may be a charge for damage.

Our pitches are for one tent only, so we can’t allow a pup or small tent. In certain circumstances by pre arrangement we might allow it, please call us to discuss.

As every campers worst nightmare, we try to avoid this as much as we can by only allowing vehicle access where we deem it sensible to do so. Therefore, if found somewhere you shouldn’t be and you are stuck, there will be a charge of £50. This may seem steep, however when you take into account the use of farm vehicles, the staff wages and the landscaping of damaged areas of the site.

With the unpredictability of the last year, it puts us in a difficult position where we cannot be handing out refunds to everyone who asks. Cancellations made more than four weeks prior to arrival qualify for refunds, also those in difficult circumstances with Covid. Cancellations less than four weeks prior to arrival are subject to no refund. Large group cancellations (4+ pitches) will also not receive any refund. All refunds are made via Stripe so Stripe fees will apply.

No sorry we are a small independent site.

If you consider bringing your dog, you MUST read our Dog Policy before visit. Well behaved dogs are welcome at the Campsite, but must be kept on a lead at all times. Dogs should be walked well away from the camping area and any mess cleared up immediately. Cats are accepted but in the same case, keep them on a lead as we have five of our own! For other pets, call to discuss possibilities.

There is a shop on site selling all the basics such as bread, milk, beer, maps as well as some camping gear which is open daily (see the Facebook Page for times!). The closest shops are in Millom, Tesco’s, Co-op and a few independent shops.

Now thankfully passed covid, there are quite a selection of eateries in the surrounding area. Check onsite for our up to date lists and warden recommendations.

For information on what is offered nearby, go to our Lakes Page to see what is on offer.

The nearest hole in the wall is in Millom, there are several. Most major banks are located in Barrow in Furness, Whitehaven, or the Central Lakes such as Ambleside, Coniston, Keswick, Kendal etc

For campervan gas, Millom is your closest location, but for gas for cooking on a camping stove, ask in the shop onsite!

For up to date weather information, visit the Lake District weatherline.
Try the BBC Weather App or Met Office for regular updates, it’s quite accurate.

he challenge of a day on the fells should never be underestimated. Please look at the information onsite re what to take hill walking, do your research and do not go into the hills expecting to stroll up mountains with uneven ground, poor footwear, requiring a high level of fitness, and appropriate clothing and good navigation skills lightly. Take snacks and drinks, DO NOT GET CAUGHT OUT! There is much information and advice about climbing up e.g. Scafell Pike and the other mountains of the Lake District on the Mountain Rescue site. 

Yes, we accept most credit and debit cards for pre-bookings online or via our Wardens. Onsite payment can be made by cash or card if you are in the shop.

Thankfully, we are able to keep our showers as a part of your pitch fee, however we have introduced push buttons to ensure their is enough hot water to go around!

Under 18’s must be accompanied by an adult. For exceptional circumstances, give us a call.

Yes! All of our online bookings are by payment in advance, any changes or alterations that bring about price changes can be settled online or onsite.

All our water is suitable for drinking. We do NOT sell plastic bottles of water. Please bring your own containers, and take them home. The less plastic waste here, the better! 

All along the West Coast there are many gorgeous sandy beaches with rock pools for children to explore! The closest beach is Silecroft with a small Beach Cafe and miles of sand. Do consult the tide tables, at high tide there is NO sand!! Haverigg Beach has a small cafe and a play area. Grab that bucket and spade and head out! Please though, take your litter home.

There are a few footpaths directly from the site. Some have permissive use, some are Public Footpaths. Please KEEP TO THE FOOTPATH we have tried to clearly mark them. Local farmers private land is just that. Private. DO NOT encroach on their property. We will get our Campsite Licence revoked if they complain! There is a Coastal Path and hundreds of miles of fells and mountains to enjoy here, just be prepared if you venture onto the fells! Local meanders take in some stunning sights and lovely locations – walk as much or as little here as the mood takes you. We have a Google Map with local routes laid out at the bottom of the page.

As part of your booking information you will receive a site map, have a look so upon arrival you know where you should be. On arrival at the campsite you will be met by our friendly team who will show you to your pitch.

There are many picnic benches about our site, as well as camping chairs for sale in our shop.

There are sockets/wall outlets in our toilet block, or alternatively during the day you can charge the phone in our shop/café.

Camping just isn’t camping without a fire or a BBQ! If you fancy your sausages sizzling on a BBQ, please just remember to MAKE SURE YOU DO IT SAFELY, AWAY FROM THE TENT, please be kind to the grass or decking; DO NOT place it on or anywhere near the wood! NOTE! Damages will be charged to you, but more importantly, we do not want anyone hurt!

REMEMBER: Never use a fuel-burning appliance inside the tent or canopy, leave the BBQ outside and extinguished when you are finished as hot BBQ’s are dangerous and can be lethal. Please look after our site, and yourselves!
We know an open campfire is the best thing about camping, roasting marshmallows on a stick, stars overhead; you can cook your dinner on it! Each pitch has a fire pit of stones, please keep within that circle, don’t move them, and enjoy. You can buy wood at the shop and we pop around with the quad most evenings if you run out! So make sure you pack some warm fluffy blankets, and enjoy your nights around the campfire.

Please note, if you have little ones who aren’t used to being around fires/BBQ’s there are no guards around the fire pits or BBQ’s.

If you have children in your family/group, it is vital that you realise that the stream is unfenced, it has a variety of small, shallow but unfenced areas and at times of high rainfall can be strong and then unsuitable for children. YOU are responsible for YOUR children. DO NOT let them roam unattended or unsupervised. Because this is a farm/hillside setting there are dips and bumps, sticks/roots etc on the ground which can be tripped over if you do not take care! You may encounter wildlife such as insects, amphibians (frogs/newts/ slow-worms), small mammals (bank-voles, hedgehogs if you’re lucky, and wood-mice).

This is a great place for children, with the stream to play in and walks to be taken, a beach, hills….but you are responsible for the safety of all children in your care, and by booking you accept that we are not responsible for accidents caused by lack of supervision or encounters with the natural environment.  If you have crawlers or newly self-mobile young children then you can still enjoy being here, but will need to be extra aware. If you have any concerns please contact the Wardens

There is no guarantee, however you can still use our booking system to check availability, we will almost always have tent space but do call for other enquiries.

Although we are in a very rural area, the countryside is not silent, and is also a working farm and riding centre environment. There is a rural lane along one edge of the site. At certain times of year (silage/hay/barley harvest for example) there may be fairly frequent tractor activity on this lane. However, there are also long periods with no traffic and we think you will find Baystone Bank Farm Campsite generally very tranquil. The camping area is screened from the lane by trees.
Baystone Bank Farm Campsite is intended to be a quiet camp, so please respect this.

It is everyone’s, including your responsibility to keep the pitches, tents, toilet and shower areas clean and leave them as you find them please! If you find any area of the site unsuitable, unclean, littered, please PLEASE let us know ASAP we take pride in how beautiful and tidy the site is and want to keep it that way! Even if the toilets are missing TP, just text the onsite number and they can replace it.

There are big purple bins as you leave the site. These are for domestic rubbish only, not dumped camping equipment. We will charge you if we see you leave unwanted equipment, sorry.
Littering here or anywhere in the National Park is just a no. On every level. Pick it up. All of it. Take it home. Thank you.

Smoking is only permitted in the immediate environment of your tent.
Absolutely no smoking is allowed in any tents.
