Heated indoor swimming pool with sauna and jacuzzi

Luxury pod with a private seating area

  • Family-friendly Lancashire holiday park with Morecambe Bay views
  • The Lakes Aquarium 35 minutes’ drive and Gisburn Forest an hour
  • Dog-friendly with a pool complex, bowling alley, bar and restaurant
Set in the Arnside and Silverdale National Landscape in over 100 acres of mature woodland and countryside, Silverdale Holiday Park has spectacular views over Morecambe Bay and Arnside Knott in Lancashire. However, there’s so much going on around the park that it’s doubtful you’ll ever leave its environs. Silverdale has plenty of children’s activities for wet and dry days. Hit the water in the indoor swimming complex and separate toddler pool, and don’t miss the weekly splash sessions to let off steam. Over-16s can kick back in the sauna and steam room, there’s a Jacuzzi and aqua-fit classes and dedicated swimming sessions for adults. The gym is fitted with cardio and resistance equipment for workouts, and TV screens to distract you from your exercise regime. Elsewhere in the leisure centre there’s a 10-pin bowling alley for family fun, and an indoor soft play area so younger guests can burn off energy. If that doesn’t work, let them loose in the two outdoor playgrounds or book a round on the eight-hole pitch-and-putt green (open in summer only). The bar, café and restaurant are open every day for a variety of homemade food – and although dogs are not allowed inside, you’re welcome to sit on the terrace with your four-legged chums. There’s also a designated dog-walking field on the park and several routes through woodland and along the stunning coastline where you can all stretch your legs.

Disliked Travelled all over the uk and it Just wasn’t the place for us paid a lot less for better place to stay and the price I would personally say wasn’t worth the stay, WiFi was terrible we was due to check out on Sunday ( today) however we left later Saturday evening, restaurant prices are ok but £50 for 2 lasagnas 3 chips and chicken nuggets and chips was a bit steep however never the less
Thank you for having us as I say just wasn’t the place for us also apart from one staff member the others didn’t really seem interested/ bothered
Also pitches are not the best unlevel

Liked This is the best UK site we have stayed on so far !!
We have been touring for 20 years plus, all over Europe so we are very experienced, The kids loved the pool and the bowling alley, We loved the restaurant and the bar🍻🍻.
The staff were very helpful and extremely polite. The facilities were exceptional and clean.

Onsite shop was very well stocked.

Noted a few previous reviews mentioned the drive in being an issue but we didn’t struggle with our 8 metre long 8 foot wide van, just take your time there’s plenty of passing places.

One teeny weeny issue was that the showers were trickling but it was extremely cold outside so this could be the reason.

Our first trip here but not our last !

Thank you for a lovely weekend 🙌 !!

Disliked Nothing. Amazing site !

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review following your stay at Silverdale Holiday Park.

We’re absolutely delighted to hear that, after 20+ years of touring across Europe, you rate Holgates as the best UK site you’ve stayed on – that really means a lot to our whole team. It’s great to know the kids enjoyed the pool and bowling alley, and that you had time to relax in the restaurant and bar

Thank you as well for your kind comments about our staff, 5* facilities, and superb cleanliness, and we’re pleased the onsite shop and access road worked well for your van. Your reassurance about the drive-in will be really helpful for future guests.

We appreciate you mentioning the showers too, we will be sure to check this with the park team.

We’re so pleased this was your first visit – and even happier to hear it won’t be your last! Thank you again for choosing to stay with us, and we look forward to welcoming you back very soon.

Local attractions

If you’re keen to stay local, the nearest Morecambe Bay beach is Silverdale Cove (15 minutes’ stroll, be sure to check tide times), while the rural village of Silverdale has a scattering of shops and eateries, including a pub and an Indian takeaway. Further afield, you have the choice of two national parks and a national landscape to explore. Introduce the kids to tales of Peter Rabbit with a visit to The World of Beatrix Potter at Windermere (35 minutes), or watch cute otters playing in water at The Lakes Aquarium (also 35 minutes), both in the Lake District National Park. Turn east for the Yorkshire Dales National Park and a trek up to dramatic Cautley Spout waterfall (50 minutes) or a browse around the shops in the pretty market town of Sedbergh (45 minutes). And to complete the triumvirate, you can head for the Forest of Bowland National Landscape for endless hiking opportunities on moorland around Gisburn Forest (an hour).
