Wild camping directly on the Wainwright coast 2 coast walking route

We are hoping to open our popup campsite in late March 2025, weather pending.  Our bunkhouse is open all year.

News….!! Our honesty cafe was destroyed by storm Isha in January 2024,  we are hoping to rebuild bigger and better in March 2025.  We will keep you posted…

Sunbiggin Farm is at the heart of the Eden Valley, 3 miles from Orton.  A seasonal simple campsite and now bunk house on a family working farm.  Situated at the Sunbiggin cafe and rest point on the coast 2 coast route.  Between Orton and Kirby Stephen, near the dramatic Sunbiggin Tarn and moors.  A perfect place to “pitch up” and rest your head during the C2C walk and an ideal location for a night stop for the Walney 2 Wear cycle.  

"Lovely site, friendly staff, right on the Coast to Coast Path

Really friendly site. Advertised as wild and is basic in terms of facilities but having said that there were some great extras such as the barn with its microwave, kettle etc.
For anyone doing the coast to coast its a great place to stay, right on the pathway of the walk. For non coast to coast walkers it is a beautiful area with some great walks right from the camp site.
Definitely recommend it.

"Perfect spot for single night stopover

Our pitch was in the small fenced area called Tommy's Garth. The pitch was immaculate and it was easy to pitch the tent. The area included a solid picnic bench for our use. Fabulous views of local scenery. Owners were very helpful, and had sent good instructions prior to our stay.

We both lost mobile phone signals but that may simply have been to do with our providers. We arrived by car using SATNAV which worked well, though it did initially try and take us to the farm via a gated road (which might have worked), but we weren't brave enough to continue that way.

We would also recommend a visit to their Summerhouse Honesty Cafe before leaving.
A perfect overnight stop.

Breath taking nature.

This is back to basics camping with some home comforts.  

A working farm with early risers.

Our campsite comes with country smells, fresh mornings and Cumbrian weather.  We offer wonderful views and bbq facilities.  If the weather is not playing, our warm barn is there for you to cook and relax in the evenings.
