  • 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.

Black Combe View electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Vending machine, ice cream shop, cakes and drinks

Disliked Pitches, lack of washing facilities given the amount of pitches. Shower rooms not very well ventilated and not cleaned enough. Lots of goose poo on site which I know can’t be helped but could be cleaned more as there are children on site and there is an awful lot

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked We have stayed at this location twice prior to this visit. The location is perfect for walking, water sports, sight seeing and engaging with friendly local residents. Wendy we have met before and we were always welcomed with such warmth and friendliness. On this booked long bank holiday weekend stay we brought family with us who had not visited the location prior, hey throughly enjoyed their stay and all that Harbour lights had to offer ie, great facilities, open space and no over crowding. One amazing thing that Wendy did was alert us to our van alarm constantly going off but we had set off and was at the train station heading into Whitehaven for the day, luckily the train hadn’t arrived and Wendy kindly sent a young man to retrieve the van key to prevent us having to return to camp and miss our train. On return Wendy greeted us at the station (with the key) and kindly gave us a lift back to site as it was heavily raining. We were all overwhelmed with her kindness. We will DEFINATELY will be booking for our next trip but this time with more family! 👍🥰

Disliked Leaving 😩🥴

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).
