We had a fantastic week at bay view holiday park. Would reccomend.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked The site was immaculate and the toilets where extremely clean and checked multiple times a day. The staff were so friendly, we visited the shop and there was no ice left, the lady called the wardens to check if they, had more ice and it was delivered to the shop straight away. We visited the restaurant and the service was again fantastic. The food was delicious and I liked there was colouring sheets available for the children. When you arrive at the site and you've checked in at reception theres a warden waiting to show you to the camping field, which is really helpful. Loved theres bunnies everywhere all the time. My sister and her family camped for a few days with us and we had more family visit for the day and had a bbq. Theres a tesco 5. Minutes down the road, and an aldi 10 minutes away
Morecombe is 10 minute drive innthe other direction. Perfect location and it was silent at night time. Everyone was so respectful. Theres a park onsite for children and its very well maintained. My kids enjoyed it, we also visited the games room which again my kids had a great time. We used the laundry facilities onsite too, theres a change machine in the games room.
Disliked Absolutely nothing.

Perfect hub for a outdoorsy family holiday
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Luxuary toilet facilities clean and modern not too far even at the furthest corner of the camping field
Good grass quality (even in a quadruple heatwave!)
Friendly staff, who were happy to help in any way possible
Child friendly, lots of family groups and children playing happily
Onsite shop has everything you need and more.
Quiet hours respected
Plenty of choice for flat pitches at the top and bottom of the hill
Lots to do nearby, Arnside is a lovely day trip, as is Morecambe and the Lake District.
Secured and spacious dog park
The entire park is well maintained and has a no expense spared feel.
Disliked Children’s entertainment is only on Saturdays however the nearby flagship site has entertainment on Wednesdays and other amenities Saturdays accessible to Bay View campers.
