Camping in New Biggin

Camping directly at New Biggin is limited, as this is a small, unserviced hamlet rather than a holiday destination, but the wider Furness peninsula around Morecambe Bay has a scattering of campsites and glamping options within easy reach along the coast road towards Ulverston and Bardsea. As with anywhere in England, wild camping is illegal without the landowner's permission, so it is worth booking a proper site rather than pitching up on the saltmarsh or foreshore, both for legal reasons and because Morecambe Bay's tides and mudflats can be genuinely dangerous for anyone straying off the marked paths.

The best months to camp here run from late spring through to early autumn, when the coast road and surrounding fields are at their driest and the long evenings make the most of the views across the bay towards the Lake District fells. Outside of that window the exposed, flat landscape can feel bleak and the ground can turn heavy underfoot, though a well-equipped site with hardstanding pitches can still work well for a shoulder-season break.

For those who prefer a roof over their heads, glamping pods, static caravans and small touring sites can be found dotted around Bardsea, Ulverston and the wider Furness coast, offering a comfortable way to enjoy the birdlife, saltmarsh walks and big coastal skies around New Biggin without needing your own tent. Booking ahead is recommended in peak summer weeks, particularly around any local events in Ulverston.
