  • 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.

What customers say

Super clean site with spacious, private pitches and great facilities (toilets even have music!). Friendly staff and a top location near the beach. Food/drink a bit pricey and bins could be better placed, but overall a top spot that visitors rave about and want to revisit.

Liked This was our second visit to this site. Both visits have been brilliant. The site is conveniently located and the amenities are great. The on site restaurant/pub where you can eat in or take out is a bonus and the shop provides lots of essentials at a reasonable price. Staff are friendly and welcoming. We will definitely visit again.

1 bedroom camping pod (bunk beds)

Liked this place is so clean and tidy all over from the hedges and grass to the bar and toilets. staff are friendy and helpful. we stopped in one of the clamping pods which was a dream so nice and calming. i can not wait to book again. the toilets play music and smeeled lovely as you walked in. bar food was lovely and the pints of beer where just right after a long day out. good area by the beach for dog walking if a bit wet in places. no weeds or litter to be seen any where. a big thank you to all the staff
