  • Wild camping site on the edge of the Lake District National Park
  • A five-minute drive to Cogra Moss lake; 25 minutes to the beach
  • On the Coast to Coast cycling route; a few pubs and a food shop nearby
From whizzing past lakes on a bicycle to hiking to the top of Blake Fell… if you’re in search of a site with raw countryside and dark skies, plant down your roots at Fellview Camping. All geared up for wild camping, this off-grid site is just outside the Lake District National Park at the foot of Blake Fell (a 15-minute drive for when you fancy a hike to the summit) and five minutes’ drive from the nearest lake. There are basic facilities including a portable toilet on site, so all you need to do is pitch up and prepare to unwind in the two-acre field with views across the Solway coast to Scotland… and the mountain on the other side, of course. There are already Shetland ponies, hens and a couple of cats on the site (plus sheep as your neighbours) to settle you in. With the Coast to Coast cycle route running past the site, jump onto your bicycle and grab a couple of snacks from a small food shop 10 minutes’ drive away (that’s half an hour’s cycle if you’re on two wheels). Or perhaps pack a picnic for a day by the sea, as the nearest beach is 25 minutes’ drive away. Handily, if the day’s activities turn out to be thirsty work, there are several pubs within 10 minutes drive of the site too, including a pub five minutes’ drive away with outdoor seating.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: I picked this campsite as I wanted to get some Wainwrights in before the weather changed. There is plenty of space to pitch, the portaloo was clean and the view on both sides is lovely. The owners were nice and very accommodating, I would definitely look to stay here again.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: My favourite place. Perfect for kids and adults. Waking up to ponies in the field is just too adorable. The lady was so nice and helpful. Will definitely return as it’s 25 minutes either way to beaches and walking. Lovely 30 minute walk to a fantastic pub with great food. Absolutely recommend. The toilet although unisex was absolutely spotless and there is a water tap and breeze blocks for fires

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: It’s a really peaceful spot with a great view of the sunset. The car is very close as you use the owners yard. It’s a very small site. I’d estimate there is only room for three or four single man tents. But then the owner was out so after a quick phone call I made camp and may not have appreciated everything available. I had a perfect quiet sun set and made a nice dinner. I felt bad as the other tent had a family with a young child and I thought I was cramping their style as a single male hiker. They came back later so I put headphones in and went to sleep and then broke camp before 7 so they wouldn’t be too disturbed. I’m not counting that as a dislike as it’s my sensitivity, having pitched after they had and they were already out somewhere. The portaloo was very good and close. The owners sounded nice and though we never met I heard them trying to get the pony’s into the fold and they were making an effort to be very quiet. The price was very reasonable and I was able to book it last minute through the app.

From the manager: We are glad you enjoyed your stay and thank you for the review. Sorry we missed you on arrival as we could have explained that you can pitch anywhere in the field. It is over 2 acre site and plenty of flat sections to pitch. It could easily fit in over 30 tents but we limit numbers to keep it quiet and peaceful for you to enjoy those sunsets.

very friendly people, everything as described , peace and quiet…

Liked: Almost empty so very convenient. Friendly welcome.

Disliked: Water supply was off although water was still offered from the house. With no shower facility and no water on hand this resembled wild camping.

Local attractions

With the Lake District National Park so close by, you’ll want to bring your walking boots for a peaceful walk around Cogra Moss (five minutes' drive), or perhaps go fishing or boating on Loweswater (15 minutes). Then, pull up to Crummock Water (20 minutes), where you can hire a rowing boat or go for a dip if you fancy it. Carry on to Buttermere (half an hour) for a great lakeside walk. Or perhaps you're more into your adventure sports? If so, gear up for something a little more demanding, such as canoeing on Ennerdale Water (15 minutes) or climbing the rockface on Pillar Rock (45 minutes). There’s an activity centre (20 minutes) that runs action-packed activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding and rock climbing… or try Go Ape Winlatter (25 minutes) for a daring treetop course. And don't forget about the sea. Happily, there are beaches in St Bees (25 minutes) and Allonby (half an hour), plus the scenic St. Bees Head Heritage Coast (half an hour) if you’re on the lookout for more ripe walking grounds, this time with sea views.
