  • Well-maintained peaceful park a minute's stroll from the beach
  • Half a mile from Haverigg and within walking distance of shops/pubs
  • Barbecues allowed; beachside café by the sand dunes
On the Cumbrian coast within a minute's stroll of a sandy beach – what an utter stunner. Butterflowers Holiday Park is in spectacular setting on the coast and with easy access to the Lake District, next to a café which overlooks an adventure play area, sand dunes and the sea. It's half a mile from the small fishing village of Haverigg, on the Duddon estuary five minutes' drive from Millom. Coniston Water and Barrow-in-Furness are both within 50 minutes; Kendal is just over an hour away, and outdoor options like hiking, golfing, pony trekking and fishing are all nearby. Leisurely pursuits are well sorted on site too, with that beachside café for alfresco bites overlooking the water. Barbecues are allowed: shops as well as pubs serving food are within walking distance. Dogs are welcome to come and stay at Butterflowers Holiday Park throughout the camping season.

What customers say

This is a well-maintained, friendly site with a fantastic location, just a short walk from a beautiful beach and local amenities. Pitches are generally spacious, level, and clean. Visitors consistently praise the helpful and welcoming staff. Facilities are generally clean and tidy, although some reviewers note they are dated and could benefit from refurbishment, particularly showers. The quiet atmosphere is appreciated, though some guests mention noise from children or seasonal residents. WiFi is not available.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Flat, clean facilities, clean area, space around pitch and location.
On seafront and walking distance to cafe shops pubs. Welcoming staff.

Disliked Women's toilet door lock continuously jammed and broken and could not unlock/open.
We have the same locks at work, I know how they work, this one is clearly broken. It's not fun trying to open for 10 minutes. It also wasn't only me.
It was being looked at as we left but I suggest that if it doesn't work, it needs replacing with a different type of lock. This has lowered the scores of our review, if it happened again, I would not return.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Proximity to the beach. Access to nice walks. Lovely, friendly staff.

Disliked Closeness of other vans. People literally walking through us whilst we were eating outside. People constantly walking through our camp area. Noisy campers. Off lead dogs running around. Cold water in pot wash. Luke warm water in showers. Outdated shower block . Advertising a swimming pool that’s not open and hasn’t not been for several years apparently.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Location to die for. Extremely tidy and well organized. Staff amazingly helpful, help place van on pitch, lend tools. Nice people. Clean toilets, cleaner is a lovely lady from Bolton. Easy walk to Harbour Inn, Londis shop. Kids playground, beaches, history.

Disliked Pool permanently shut. Talking to locals been like this for several years but website still advertises pool. Poor internet, needs Wi-Fi.

Local attractions

Start your local activities with a couple of hours at Millom Discovery Centre, five minutes' drive away at Millom station on the Cumbria Coastal Line. The centre has a museum, a Rail Room with exhibits on the area's railway heritage, a mining area with a full-sized mining cage, and a café, gift shop and prehistory gallery. Adventurous kids – and their grownups – should also like the costume room, where a nicely eclectic selection of 18th- and 19th-century threads await for dressing up. It's 10 minutes' drive from Butterflowers to the Hodbarrow RSPB reserve, a coastal lagoon on a former iron mine overlooking the Duddon estuary. Terns, oystercatchers, ringed plovers and redshanks are among the species that flock here; look out too for the protected great crested grebes on the reserve's island. Venturing further afield, take a ride on the Ravenglass & Eskdale Steam Railway (half an hour) or the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway from Haverthwaite Station (40 minutes). Kids might like the Lakes Aquarium in Newby Bridge (50 minutes), Grizedale Forest's Go Ape (an hour) or Muncaster Castle (half an hour). Windermere is an hour and five minutes away.
