  • 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.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked: Liked that it was close to the beach and there was a nice coffee and ice cream place on site and the lady in reception was helpful. It looked a very clean site when we arrived I could see the appeal for families and those that like noise and having a drink

Disliked: There was not much around to do, there was a lot of drunk people who did not know when to stop or behave, shouting and a lot of noise until 03:00am/04:00am. It is next door to a caravan site that has a bar/ cafe which was also noisy and people drinking all day. Each to their own but not what we go away to do, we like to explore, and make a day of things. Even in the night time there was no where in million or haverigg to eat, we needed up getting a Chinese takeaway and going back to our tent, but the noise was unbearable around us We booked for 2 nights but only stayed for 1 night and that was enough for us.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked: Really friendly peaceful campsite. Nice relaxed atmosphere.Excellent shower and toilet facilities, the shower room was as big as at home! The staff phoned us to let us know they'd had a lot of rain, and did we still want to come. Changed us to hard standing at short notice. Interesting local area with dog friendly bar nearby.

Liked: Lovely campsite in a good location. Best shower block I've been in. Lots of room. Lovely and clean and warm. Also nice choices ofglamping pods and mobile homes that we will look at as an alternative to camping for another time.

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).
