Farmstay in Broughton-in-Furness with spacious pitches, railway carriage glamping and farm animals.
About Borderside Farm Certificated Site
Broughton-in-Furness is a small market town in the southern Lake District, with the fells rising inland and quieter countryside stretching towards the coast. Borderside Farm Certificated Site sits on working farmland just outside town, offering a genuine farmstay experience rather than a conventional campsite. Pitches are generous, and the site also has converted railway carriages available for those who want something different from a tent or caravan.
The farm is home to animals that roam the grounds, and guests have noted the friendly staff and peaceful working-farm atmosphere. Facilities include hot showers and washing-up areas, all kept clean and well maintained. The disused railway line that runs nearby is now a path into the surrounding villages, making it easy to walk out without a car.

What visitors say
Lovely place to camp. Plenty of space, really cute & well maintained. There isn't electric however there is a room you can plug chargers etc in for free. Basic shower area but clean. Lovely feel throughout the site with animals roaming free (ducks, hens, sheep & goats) Lovely walk into Broughton in Furness just over a mile where there is a petrol station, couple of grocery shops, 3 pubs & a cafe. Have stayed here twice and would definitely stay again.

Great campsite, old railroad carriages available too. We have camped here and stayed in the carriages. Fantastic location to explore the South Western area of the lake district. The welfare facilities are not as polished as some places we have stayed but they are more than adequate and clean. Fantastic hosts all very friendly and helpful. The village of broughton in furness is only a 30min walk down the old railway line which has some amazing pubs and shops.

The rooms are really good except the metal bed was very very squeaky very very squeaky!! but we had such a good time and it was so cozy plenty of room in there and I love the farm dogs coming to greet us and staying with us for a little while which was so nice! •The location is okay but it is 40 minutes away from the popular areas Make sure you bring a lighter, chargers with you!!!

Couldn’t have enjoyed my stay at Moss Side enough. Louise is incredibly friendly and offered us some recommendations to explore around the local area. The facilities were everything we needed - plenty of space in the field, hot showers, a place to do washing up. We also absolutely fell in love with some of the farm dogs. Would recommend and will definitely visit again.
