  • Family-friendly Lancashire holiday park with views over Morecambe Bay
  • Between the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District national parks
  • Bar, restaurant, games room and play area on site; dogs welcome
Fancy a view over Morecambe Bay with your morning coffee? You got it – and it’ll still be there once cocktail hour rolls around in the evening too. As the name suggests, Bay View Holiday Park sits directly on the Lancashire coast, giving great sea views from many corners of the park. Now part of the Holgates Family Group of holiday parks, this location was once made up of two working farms – so it’s got quiet countryside all around as well as the coastline. And it’s got handy town facilities close by as well, with Bolton-le-Sands and Carnforth both just a couple of minutes' drive away. Morecambe (10 minutes’ drive) and Lancaster (15 minutes) are close by as well – and for greener times you’ll be close to walks in the Forest of Bowland National Landscape and the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales national parks. This is a place that’s been nicely designed with family holidays in mind (and yes, that includes family dogs, who are welcome to join you for a stay here. An outdoor play area and an indoor games room are on site to keep the kids entertained – and it’s only a short stroll along a traffic-free path to get to the beach for sand-based fun. Handy facilities include a launderette, a washing-up area and bathroom blocks, and there’s also a shop on site for self-catering bits (or pick up more supplies in the nearby towns). Over the weekend (Friday to Sunday) you’ll also be able to get drinks at the dog-friendly bar or settle in to the restaurant to have a meal cooked for you.

 Ryan J. 1 review

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Great location for short walks and hikes in the areas. The site was absolutely clean, spotless and the facilities were amazing and spacious (Toilets, showers, sinks, wash up areas, bar/restaurant, outdoor play area). Greatly and fairly priced for 2 nights at £62. For any extras required Carnforth was only a 5minute drive away for the likes of a Tesco Superstore/Aldi.

Disliked WiFi kept disconnecting frequently. But the network connection I had was great. Who really needs to be on there phone whilst camping anyway.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Size of tenting field, availability of wardens when needed, very clean facilities and friendliness of staff

Disliked Tenting is far from reception so unless you are fit and healthy, would be better going in the car but didn’t affect us directly during our stay (just an observation)

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked We had a great time, was overly busy which was a bonus, fantastic clean facilities. Good onsite was lovely. Great views and walks from the site. In a great location to reach numerous towns nearby we visited the lakes in 30 mins.

Already planning our return. Feel like we need to gatekeep these parks.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Great location, toilet block amazing, food really good and reasonable in the pub

Disliked We got a flat area on the tent field but if you don’t manage to get the top or bottom then the field is sloped. It’s a shame they don’t allow gazebos

Local attractions

These are some lovely surroundings, and there are lots of ways to explore, from local bike rides to walks with Wreay Syke Alpacas (20 minutes’ drive) to motorised meandering with Lakeland Segway (35 minutes). RSPB Leighton Moss is popular for birdwatchers, with Lakeland Wildlife Oasis also close by for more exotic animal spottings (both 10 minutes’ drive). Keeping it all outdoors, you may like to head north to the Lakeland Maze Farm Park (20 minutes) or venture into the Yorkshire Dales National Park for places like White Scar Cave (35 minutes). Hit upon a rainy day? Get your heritage fix at places like Lancaster Castle (15 minutes), National Trust - Sizergh (20 minutes) or Levens Hall (20 minutes). The Lakeland Motor Museum (half an hour) and The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction (35 minutes) are also good picks.
