About The Site

Hazel Mount Fellside is about as close to wild camping as you can get while someone else quietly handles the bits that would otherwise put you off. There's no reception, no rows of marked bays, no hum of generators — just a few cropped patches of grass, a couple of compost loos, a short list of sensible rules, and a view over the Duddon Estuary that does most of the talking. The idea is simple: if the freedom of pitching out in the wild appeals but you're not ready to load a pack and walk into the high fells for it, you can have the best of that feeling here, on the calm western edge of the Lake District, without roughing it entirely.

The reason it feels so untouched is that it genuinely is. Ruth, the ecologist who runs the place, chose this land precisely because it's been left to its own devices — grazed gently rather than farmed hard, with patches of woodland scattered through the grass. That's made it richly varied ground for wildlife, and keeping it that way matters more to her than packing in guests. Only a handful of campers are on site at once, and the deal is that everyone treads lightly in return.

In practice, "off grid" means exactly that. Cars stay tucked away where you can't see them from the field. Campfires are welcome on three of the four pitches, but they have to be raised off the turf so the ground underneath survives. There's no electric hook-up and no tap: instead, Ruth drops off a 20-litre jerry can of water at each pitch for cooking and washing, plus enough drinking water to see you through your first night. Daisy Camp, the largest pitch and home to as many as eight, gets a little kitchen unit with a sink and worktop — but otherwise you're expected to arrive self-sufficient and prepared.

None of which means you're cut off. Logs are for sale, and there's usually an honesty table with farm-fresh eggs and a few snacks. For a proper shop or a meal out, Broughton-in-Furness is close by, with a couple of pubs worth a visit and a very good butcher. The wider setting is the real draw: this is the south-western corner of the Lakes, with Coniston Water the nearest lake, 600-metre Black Combe the obvious summit to tackle, and sandy Irish Sea beaches only six miles away. It's not quite beach, not quite lakeside, not quite mountain, not quite true wilderness — but it sits within easy reach of all four, which is rather the point.
