  • Spacious, friendly site on the Cumbrian coast
  • Fell walks, Lakes Coniston and Windermere within 45 minutes' drive
  • A few minutes from pubs, chip shop, dog-friendly beach and watersports
How’s this for having your cake and eating it? Harbour Lights Campsite is a couple of minutes’ walk from Haverigg beach on the Cumbrian coast – and behind it, with trails beginning 15 minutes' drive away, the famed hills and fells of the Lake District (not to mention those lakes themselves). No more tough choices, have the lot here. If you have any problems on this Cumbrian cracker of a site, it’ll be deciding what to do first. You could start by taking in the view: sunsets over the beach and sea with the hills looming in the background; on this friendly, well-kept but unfussy site there’s little to get in between you and the grand surroundings. Don’t fancy missing a minute in the open air? No problem, barbecues and firepits are all to hand. Dogs are welcome on site, on the beach next door and in many of the nearby pubs. On that note, there are places to sip and sup in Haverigg, and more of the same plus supermarkets in Millom, both about five minutes' drive away.

What customers say

This is a well-kept, clean campsite with excellent, modern washrooms, often highlighted as a major plus. Campers appreciate the spacious sites, friendly, helpful staff, and its prime location near the beach, offering great dog-walking. The on-site ice cream parlour is a popular treat. Some guests noted occasional noise or less ideal site locations, and a few mentioned limited on-site activities, though nearby amenities are available.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Fabulous campsite: great location next to the gorgeous South Cumbria coast with wonderful walks on the door step; that the site was very dog friendly; proximity to Haverigg village and its shop, friendly pubs (including the Ski Bar) and chippy; very friendly welcoming and helpful staff; the best toilet/shower facilities we’ve found with private rooms!

Elaine F.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked A lovely site. A couple of minutes walk to the beach area. It wasn’t really much of a beach, but there is a nice one very close.
We didn’t see all the amenities as we were travelling around.

The shower rooms were lovely and warm, the showers nice and hot, just the right temperature.

A local fish and chip shop not far away, get there early because it gets busy. Cash only. The fish and chips were lovely, the peas had black pepper in them, they were lovely too. There’s a shop near the chippy.

Disliked The beach area had areas of quicksand so we felt a little nervous on there.

Local attractions

Haverigg’s wide sandy beach is fab for walks, castle building and kite-based antics, from flying them to being hauled along the sands in buggies at high speed. If you’re after activities on the water, Port Haverigg Wakepark five minutes’ drive away has something wet and wild for everyone. Without straying too far, you can also go horse trekking through the countryside and galloping on the beach from Murthwaite Green trekking centre, or get your kicks with wheels and mud included at Haverigg Motocross Track (both 10 minutes). For walks with wildlife, it’s five minutes to RSPB Hodbarrow, where hosts of rare birds and plants thrive in the distinctive wetland environment. If you want to get higher, Black Combe is officially England’s biggest hill, 30 feet short of being a mountain and accessible by trails starting about 15 minutes' drive away in Wicham. Walks up the famed Old Man and surrounding fells start in Coniston, 40 minutes away. For lakes, well, take your pick… Windermere is 45 minutes away, for boat cruises, steamer trips and watersports as well as lakeside walks and cycling. Families make for Muncaster Castle (half an hour), on account of its Harry Potter-like appearance, resident ghost, adventure trails and playground and its Hawk and Owl centre with regular feeding and flying shows. For even wilder wildlife, the South Lakes Safari Zoo is 40 minutes away or you can Go Ape yourselves at Grizedale, zipping through the forest treetops on wires and ropeways (50 minutes).
