  • 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.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Never got the chance to enjoy the camp as we had made a mistake and booked for a tent pitch. On arrival we were made aware of our mistake and abruptly told the tent area was closed. Nothing was offered to accommodate us in any other area and no empathy shown in our situation. Fortunately for us we found a local site nearby (also only for vans and caravans) that were happy to accommodate.us in a our moment of need.

Liked Friendly Staff, super pitch & excellent toilet block with good showers.

Disliked When I go for a shower, often take change of clothes for the evening, plus wearing a warm coat. The shower has only one hook!!!! Many campsites provide a few hooks so one can hang a coat, a change of clothes & a towel.

Local attractions

These are some lovely surroundings, and there are lots of ways to explore, from local bike rides to walks with Wreay Syke Alpacas (20 minutes’ drive) to motorised meandering with Lakeland Segway (35 minutes). RSPB Leighton Moss is popular for birdwatchers, with Lakeland Wildlife Oasis also close by for more exotic animal spottings (both 10 minutes’ drive). Keeping it all outdoors, you may like to head north to the Lakeland Maze Farm Park (20 minutes) or venture into the Yorkshire Dales National Park for places like White Scar Cave (35 minutes). Hit upon a rainy day? Get your heritage fix at places like Lancaster Castle (15 minutes), National Trust - Sizergh (20 minutes) or Levens Hall (20 minutes). The Lakeland Motor Museum (half an hour) and The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction (35 minutes) are also good picks.
