  • 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.

What customers say

Bay View Holiday Park is highly praised for its spacious, clean, and private pitches, excellent modern toilet and shower facilities, and friendly staff. Guests particularly enjoyed the location, ideal for walks, and the on-site bar and restaurant. Minor points raised include occasional issues with WiFi stability, the distance to waste bins for some pitches, and the bar/restaurant not always being open mid-week. Noise was mentioned by one guest during peak holiday times. The site is consistently described as well-maintained and offers great value.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked The site as a whole was very nice. Toilet block is second to none, very clean, spacious and even music playing away. The pitch we had was an excellent size, enough for the caravan and awning with room to spare. Water supply is also on the pitch which saves on the legs. I'm not going to put this as a dislike as it would do the site an injustice, but we arrived on the Monday and left the Friday and the bar/restaurant wasn't opening till the Friday, so that's down to our booking time. All in all a great stay and would definitely recommend.

Liked Staff on reception were friendly, information pack was given on arrival which was very useful. We had the camping field to ourselves for the weekend. The shower and pot washing facilities are spotless as well as the site as a whole. We eat in the restaurant both nights, food was lovely and reasonably priced. Great location, will visit again.
