Low Moor Head is a very peaceful, quiet site just outside the hamlet of Easton, near Longtown the gateway from England to the Scottish Borders. The site is located within one acre lawned area, on a slight incline, with the beautiful backdrop of Heatherybelt Wood, part of Netherby Estates. All our pitches are spacious, all hard standing with both electric and individual water supplies. On arrival visitors and pets are greeted with a warm, friendly welcome, together with six free range complimentary eggs.  In addition we have a small car park on the site for guests, which also houses our heated toilet/shower, with disabled facilities (replacement Autumn 2023) recycling and waste bins.

We have an information area where guests can relax and study the many brochures of places, activities and up coming events.

In adjacent fields which border the campsite visitors can enjoy watching our Shetland ponies play, together with  3 donkeys, ducks chickens, 2 pigmy goats and sheep.  In early March visitors can enjoy the new born lambs as they play!

The site is an excellent base for exploring the surrounding area known as the Debatable Lands, battle ground of the Border Reivers, which is steeped in history, and close to South West Scotland, the World famous Gretna Green, historic Carlisle, Lake District and the Solway coast.

The town is within a mile of the site and provides an excellent selection of shops, hotel, restaurants, cafes, chemist,  Post Office and supermarket. Visitors can enjoy a walk or cycle into the town, where they can take a beautiful riverside walk, along the banks of the river Esk a renowned salmon river (speak to owner re permit), or visit the Coop house, Arthuret Church, Netherby Hall or the largest sheep sales market in the country.

We are located an easy 6 mile drive from Hadrians Wall. There is also a new Border Reivers cycle route in addition to Sustrans Route 7 - please ask the CL owners for more details when you arrive. There is a summer house information and recreational area which provides tourist information, local history and other local information.

Opposite the entrance to the CL are three woodland walks of varying distance and excellent for dog walking (dogs must be on leads at all times) and local wildlife (red squirrels and roe deer as well as wild birds and flaura and fauna)

Luxury Norwegian log cabin, ideal for couples retreat with hot-tub and sauna, child free and dog free. Shepherds Hut and Glamping also available with hot tub, ideal for friends and family who wish to join you. Please speak to owner

People that can’t drive motorhomes

Low Moor Head Farm
Was at this lively site and watched a motorhome make a terrible mess of the grass I don’t think that they were very experienced at driving it but they could have hired it been at this site on many occasions and seen the mess that some motorhomes leave the owners must be out a fortune rectifying the damage the sings are all around the place to keep of the grass and when it has been raining you have to be more careful and the owner are good at letting big units know what pitch to go on as they take pride in the campsite

Motorhomers Beware

Low Moor Head Farm
We arrived at the site at the agreed time for a 3 night stay, price £32 if not paying by cash, £30 if cash. We waited at the gate as advised but when no-one came to greet us we rang the number provided. The owner turned up a few minutes later, he said his son dealt with pitch bookings and did not seem to have a clue as to where we should park, but did mention a pitch which was better for larger motorhomes. We were having a normal conversation when he began expressing comments and views on ethnicity which were totally inappropriate and belonged in the dark ages. Thankfully his son turned up and the conversation ended, we selected which of the 3 available pitches we would prefer to use, at no time was a specific verbal warning given about the quagmire state of the site should you not be on the gravel. As a result of their one way system, instead of driving more or less straight onto the pitch we ended up having no option but to swing out slightly onto the grass in order to manoeuvre onto the pitch, the state of the ground resulted in our motorhome becoming stuck. To be fair the owner made every effort to pull us out and all seemed ok at that point. We were asked to park on the larger motorhome pitch, which is where we should have been directed to in the first place. The owner came over as I was sorting out our tow hook and out of the blue said it would be best if we left the site, this was after all seeming well when we had thanked him for all his help. In hindsight it was probably for the best as we already felt extremely uncomfortable about his manner and opinions plus the virtually zero level of communication from his son throughout. We rarely write negative reviews and have never had to regarding any of the numerous CL sites visited and owners we have met over the years, but felt this was unavoidable, bearing in mind our dreadful experience and their behaviour.

Perfect New Year getaway 5* CL

Low Moor Head Farm
We would like to thank you for a fantastic stay. We've loved our little adventure despite encountering every weather condition. (Even staying up all night to make sure the awning was still standing in storm Gerett 🤣 it was eventful but enjoyable!) To anyone considering this site you wont be disappointed. Its quiet, within walking distance to the local town with lots of amenities and the owners and their many Geese and other live stock are very welcoming. 🤣 We loved listening to donkeys especially on a morning 😍 Shower and toilet facilities were always spotless. Here you can also take in all the information of their many awards they have won over the years.👏👏👏 We enjoyed our free fesh eggs which were delivered to our caravan along with a lovely gesture of wine and chocolates to bring in the New Year. The owners go above and beyond which is wholeheartedly welcomed, they are such friendly people. The owners informed us that they'd had an influx of rain fall throughout the year, this was evident as it was very muddy, we found navigating to the toilet waste area very slippy. A suggestion if i may, is to make a gravel/wooden pallet path to this area. We feel this will be beneficial in the long run. This did not affect our stay in any way. We will be back at some point this year for definite. See you soon! Becky, Paul, Sarah, Emma and Milo 🐶 x

Brilliant CL

Low Moor Head Farm
We used this CL as a stop off point on our way home to Cornwall after visiting family in Scotland. I can only reiterate what others have said - a well laid out site with all you could wish for in a CL, peaceful and well maintained. The shower and loo were immaculate. If we didn't live so far away we would use it as a favourite 'go to' site but as it is we will definitely stay again on our travels to Scotland and be tempted to stay for more than one night. I'm not surprised it has won so many awards! Many thanks for your hospitality.

Superb CL and Owners

Low Moor Head Farm
Just spend 2 nights here, what a well kept and peaceful site with fully serviced pitches and the shower and toilet are spotless. We have spoken to the owners who are very friendly and easy too talk too, also we received 6 freshly laid eggs. There is plenty to see in the area and a wood with walks in it just across the road form the site, the road is also very quiet and safe to walk on. We will be back for a longer stay or two.
