  • 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 popular site offers great views & a quiet stay. Expect super clean, modern washrooms. Owners are super friendly & helpful. Coffee/breakfast van's a hit! Some pitches are windy/hilly, so pick carefully. Motorcyclists might find the electronic gate tricky.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Me and my friend have just come home from a 1 night stay and all I can say is WOW! What a beautiful camp site. The views are absolutely stunning. The owners are so helpful and friendly. Martyn helped with our tent as we were struggling and made sure we were ok. Scarbucks in the morning for a brew and a croissant what a lovely little touch! We will definitely be returning! Thank you so much x

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked We booked this campsite to test out our new camping set up and it was a perfect spot to do so. We only stayed for 1 night but definitely could've stayed longer. The location is breathtakingly stunning and the site as a whole was perfect. From arriving at the gate we were greeted by the lovely couple who run the place. They explained where we could pitch and gave us a tip to pitch near the crag face as it was more sheltered and this was definitely a good call. The site was very peaceful and the facilities were immaculate. We would highly recommend this site to anyone thinking about booking a stay.

Bell tent (deluxe)

Liked Comfy beds in in a spacious bell tent. Lovely coffee & croissants every morning! Toilets/shower blocks are kept clean and the fridge freezer is helpful for campers. Anne & Martyn are generous and easy going, along with their gorgeous dogs Red & Zeus. The site is peaceful with beautiful views. This was our second stay and we can't wait for our third!

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked This camp site was so peaceful and with scenic sea views
Grounds were kept ideal for campers!
Shower block was outstanding and gets a 10 out of 10👏👏
Also the perfect addition of “scar bucks” for coffees and buttys
I found was a really nice touch and well recommended!
Access in and out of the site by NPR made me feel my camp was well
Protected when I was out!

Disliked I do have to mention the 2 dogs although very friendly
Going into my tent on regular basis was not ideal,
I’m sure this could be worked on?

From the manager: Thank you for your great review. Sorry about the digs, will certainly work on it.

Thanks Anne

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked A lovely site with friendly staff and the fanciest looking facilities I've ever seen on a campsite. The location with views out over Morecambe bay is wonderful, there's plenty of flat spots despite the gentle overall slope of the site. Note, the ground is very hard so bring a mallet!

The little popup breakfast van on site (Scarbucks!) was great, especially as there's nothing else nearby really. It would be quite nice if there was a little shop on site, perhaps something the owners could consider?

Good phone service on site.

Disliked They have a fancy electronic gate with numberplate recognition which I'm sure is great if you arrive by car, it is however not very motorcycle friendly and meant I didn't feel confident going out in the evening as if no one was around to open it for me I'd have potentially have been locked out of the site. Having a code or something to open the gate would be really beneficial as it's a super site otherwise.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi, thank you for your comments, glad you enjoyed your stay. We shall certainly look into the number plate recognition. My brother is a motor cyclist & he recommends a camera to see the rear of tithe bike , which we shall certainly look into .

Thanks again Anne

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked We had a wonderful weekend camping at Scar Close. The site is very well run, the facilities are amazing and immaculately clean. The views from our tent over to Morecambe Bay are stunning. We particularly enjoyed the coffee and bacon sandwich from Scarbucks. We look forward to returning very soon.

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.
