  • Peaceful Lancashire farm site with sea views in a National Landscape
  • A 40-minute drive from The World of Beatrix Potter in Windermere
  • Coffee and croissants sold in the morning; Morecambe 20 minutes' drive
Scar Close Camping and Glamping is a peaceful site set in the grounds of a 36-acre old hobby farm in the Arnside and Silverdale Area National Landscape. The surrounding landscape is made up of sloping hills, grassland and woodland, and the coast is within easy reach (20 minutes’ drive) – you can see the waters of Morecambe Bay from the site, which sits at the foot of Warton Crag, a prominent limestone hill and the highest point in Arnside and Silverdale. Guest facilities at this spacious rural spot include serviced toilet cubicles and basic showers. Coffee and croissants are available to buy in the morning, and there is plentiful parking, too (with an alternative area off the grass in the event of wet weather). The owners recommend bringing a bucket or bowl for washing up, as well as a torch – it can get very dark in this part of northern Lancashire at night. (But that translates into excellent stargazing, so no one is complaining…) Geared towards families, laidback Scar Close also welcomes well-behaved pets (who should be on leads and carefully supervised at all times). While you can’t build an open fire, a ready-made traditional stone firepit is available for evening cook-outs, and barbecues are welcome as long as they’re not placed directly on the ground or picnic benches. The small village of Warton is about a mile down the road and has a brewery, pub and post office.

What customers say

This well-maintained site offers stunning views and a friendly atmosphere. Guests consistently praise the immaculate, modern toilet and shower facilities, often described as hotel-quality. Bell tents and spacious pitches are highlights, with options for privacy. The on-site coffee and food van is a popular addition. While generally peaceful, some noted the exposed location can be windy. Limited signage to facilities was mentioned, but this is being addressed.

Bell tent (basic)

Liked Stunning views. Friendly, safe and relaxed. Thoughtfully planned pitches and facilities. Nice to be able to hire the fire pit and get wood on site. Excellent coffee from Scarbucks! Lots to do in the local area. We did a fantastic walk at Warton Crag and a had a beach day at Arnside. Enjoyed a pint and some live music at the Old School Brewery. Thank you for your hospitality. A true paradise!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Great views, nice clean field, really nice toilet and shower block.

Disliked Not a dislike, but there’s no signage (apart from later found a tiny A4 piece of paper saying where it was) on the toilet/shower block, the staff were busy when we arrived so didn’t have time to explain to us so spent 10 mins searching for it as it looks like another farm building.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Ah, sorry about lack of directions to toilet block .
We will work to improve that.
Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked The location was absolutely stunning and the owners were friendly and warm throughout our stay. The shower and toilet facilities were beautiful and clean at all times. There is some lovely walks close to the campsite and the Old School Brewery is well worth a visit. Coffees and Croissants from Scarbucks were loved by our party and a really nice touch. We will definitely be back, thank you for your hospitality!!

Disliked That we couldn't stay longer

Local attractions

In addition to elegant interiors and expansive parkland, Leighton Hall Estate (10 minutes’ drive) runs a lively programme of events, which includes falconry displays, plant fairs and craft markets. A little further up the road, the wetlands of RSPB Leighton Moss are home to egrets, harriers and red deer. Take a stroll along the wide promenade that hugs the bay at Morecambe (25 minutes), stopping for a selfie next to the statue of British comedian Eric Morecambe. Close to the seafront, there are also a bowling alley, a trampoline park and a skatepark, so the kids should have plenty to keep them occupied while you take a tour of the Morecambe Winter Gardens theatre (Easter–October). On the banks of Lake Windermere, the World of Beatrix Potter Attraction (40 minutes) recreates the fictional universe of beloved characters like Peter Rabbit and Jemima Puddle-Duck. After that, you can cross the lake and visit National Trust - Hill Top (50 minutes), the cottage where the children’s author lived and worked.
