  • Spacious, friendly site on the Cumbrian coast
  • Fell walks, Lakes Coniston and Windermere within 45 minutes' drive
  • A few minutes from pubs, chip shop, dog-friendly beach and watersports
How’s this for having your cake and eating it? Harbour Lights Campsite is a couple of minutes’ walk from Haverigg beach on the Cumbrian coast – and behind it, with trails beginning 15 minutes' drive away, the famed hills and fells of the Lake District (not to mention those lakes themselves). No more tough choices, have the lot here. If you have any problems on this Cumbrian cracker of a site, it’ll be deciding what to do first. You could start by taking in the view: sunsets over the beach and sea with the hills looming in the background; on this friendly, well-kept but unfussy site there’s little to get in between you and the grand surroundings. Don’t fancy missing a minute in the open air? No problem, barbecues and firepits are all to hand. Dogs are welcome on site, on the beach next door and in many of the nearby pubs. On that note, there are places to sip and sup in Haverigg, and more of the same plus supermarkets in Millom, both about five minutes' drive away.

What customers say

This campsite offers a great location, moments from the beach, with friendly and helpful staff. Visitors praise the clean, modern toilet and shower facilities, with many highlighting the individual wet rooms. The on-site cafe and ice cream parlour are popular additions. The site is generally quiet and well-maintained, offering spacious pitches and ideal dog walking routes. Some guests experienced issues with pitch drainage and noted the remote location with limited local amenities, though the proximity to the beach and nature reserve is a key draw for many.

Megan R.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Fantastic shower/ toilet facilities (wet rooms with toilet and ample hanging space).
Dog friendly.
Superb icecream on site (probs the best I’ve had).
10min walk to Haverigg beach. Keep walking another 20mins and you come across the most beautiful open stretch of beach which is perfect for dogs.
5 min walk from village. There’s a Londis there if you’re short on supplies. Couple of pubs but we personally preferred the Ski Bar next to the site.
Very friendly owner.
Chilled camping vibe.
Really couldn’t fault it - new favourite place.

Disliked That we couldn’t stay longer.

Debbie H.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Greeted by a lovely lady who explained everything so well to us as first time in our Campervan.
Can’t fault the campsite at all, the showers spotless & lovely & warm with radiators in them all. Great pitch, was level & the whole experience enjoyable on the site.

Disliked Downside was the local town, the local pub took cash only & things seem to close early, the fish & chip shop / Londis closed by 7:30pm on a Friday .
Also need to order food at the Ski Bar before 8pm
Great camp side but the town lets it’s down! But if you’re planning on eating on the site, it’s perfect & a lovely walk to the beach.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Good size hardstanding and grass pitches. Nice clean site with plenty of space for motorhomes, caravans and tents. Bonus was a homemade ice cream shop and cafe. Toilets and showers very clean. Staff friendly and helpful. Only a 5 min walk to the beach and 10min walk into Haverigg village for a good chippy.
There is also a bar only 5 min walk away on the holiday village next door.

Disliked Nothing.

Julia J.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked We only stayed one night, but everything was clean and tidy, lovely level pitches, spacious site, with shower cubicles, laundry, loos, and an ice cream shop on site. Peaceful with a good nights sleep.

Disliked The only small issue I could not find any way to dry my hands in the loos after washing them.

Local attractions

Haverigg’s wide sandy beach is fab for walks, castle building and kite-based antics, from flying them to being hauled along the sands in buggies at high speed. If you’re after activities on the water, Port Haverigg Wakepark five minutes’ drive away has something wet and wild for everyone. Without straying too far, you can also go horse trekking through the countryside and galloping on the beach from Murthwaite Green trekking centre, or get your kicks with wheels and mud included at Haverigg Motocross Track (both 10 minutes). For walks with wildlife, it’s five minutes to RSPB Hodbarrow, where hosts of rare birds and plants thrive in the distinctive wetland environment. If you want to get higher, Black Combe is officially England’s biggest hill, 30 feet short of being a mountain and accessible by trails starting about 15 minutes' drive away in Wicham. Walks up the famed Old Man and surrounding fells start in Coniston, 40 minutes away. For lakes, well, take your pick… Windermere is 45 minutes away, for boat cruises, steamer trips and watersports as well as lakeside walks and cycling. Families make for Muncaster Castle (half an hour), on account of its Harry Potter-like appearance, resident ghost, adventure trails and playground and its Hawk and Owl centre with regular feeding and flying shows. For even wilder wildlife, the South Lakes Safari Zoo is 40 minutes away or you can Go Ape yourselves at Grizedale, zipping through the forest treetops on wires and ropeways (50 minutes).
