This site has everything. A choice of pitches, some sheltered which are closest to the main reception, some next to shower blocks.
A bar which thankfully excludes under 16's, a lovely dining area with a great choice of food, slightly expensive large portions.
The pool, with hot tub spa, sauna, steam room which does not get overcrowded. A games room, soft play room, 2 outdoor play areas. Pitch and put.
It was our first time here and we will definitely return, it it the best site we have been on to date.
Arnside Knott is strongly recommended and is easily reached from the site, a 2 hour leisurely stroll (round trip). Tv hook up. Five star site

Its not cheap. But like most things you get what you pay for. Fully serviced pitches, excellent toilet facilities, lovely views, swimming pool on site.
All in all its a lovely place to go and have a break. If you choose your pitch carefully ( away for the play areas) you can have a peaceful time.
The number plate recognition system is ideal, means the gate opens when you go in and out. They have nice theme weekends, like Bonfire night, Halloween etc and these are well attended. Book early.
We have been several times and are booked in again for Bonfire weekend later this year. Lovely walks from and through the site too.

We visited Holgates over the winter to try out our then new caravan. We have sited the van for 3 weeks this August.
We have stayed for two weeks and my parents (who have never stayed in a tourer before) are still there. I have already booked October half term off work so that we can book again.
Lovely Staff throughout the park, excellent facilities, Great food, toilet block spotless,
Our daughter who is an only child met loads of friends, they enjoyed the playground and found a den and rope swing in the woods, the nice thing was we wouldn't have known this was there but another child remembered it from their holiday last year.
We can't wait to return on Friday.

Have just returned from a 4 night stay at Holgates with our two children 8 & 11 yrs. Found site very quiet as English schools had not broken up yet for holidays. On arrival there is a very modern and efficient reception and you can choose your own pitch some having the odd sea view.
There were two playgrounds which kids found okay.
We were pitched at the top end of the site and found the toilet block modern and immaculate. Always being cleaned and checked. Probably the best toilet block we have ever visited. The only gripe was that you had to keep pressing a button for hot shower and one of them only lasted 7 seconds. Dish washing water was luke warm but we were informed this was going to be repaired shortly.
Swimming pool was excellent with lifeguards and an inflatable fun hour on a Sunday.
Restaurant was very nice with a good menu choice and average prices.
Bar area was lovely but you could not take any children under 16yrs into it. However you could sit with a drink in the restaurant area.
There was a pitch & putt area which our kids enjoyed.
Shop was very well stocked however you could walk to Silverdale (20minute stroll)where there was a good small supermarket, shop and butchers.
The road to and from site had a few bends and narrow in places - certainly taking the route from Carnforth was best if towing a caravan.
All in all this was a great site but just a bit too quiet for our children because of time of year and mid-week.

Have been visiting Holgates for the past 46 years (that's showing my age!) and stayed in statics and also toured and it doesn't get any better than here.
It's a credit to the owners. Wonderful facilities. Yes it is a little more expensive than most, but is definitely worth it.
Tend to site the tourer near the top if a space available, you pick your own.
Be careful of the lanes leading to the site, barely passable with two vehicles, never mind a caravan, but take your time and its fine.
A must is watching the tide come in at Arnside.

We had the pleasure of a stay at Holgates while on a break with the family in our touring caravan.
The pitches are well maintained and well serviced with power, water, waste and TV UHF socket for each. The latter is important given the level of TV signal received (esp. Where the teenagers were concerned!)
The toilets are clean and of a very high standard - although the showers are the push for flow and one shower I used managed 10 seconds per push. We never saw a problem with cleanliness even after some heavy rain so full marks there.
The touring pitches are a reasonable walk from the central facilities which is great on a nice evening but not so pleasant when it's raining.
The club area is very comfortable and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. Food is excellent and not outrageously priced.
The shop in the centre was open until 9pm - slightly different from a previous poster's experience - summer times?? - was well stocked and catered for touring and camping needs as well as the usual food provisions / mags / newspapers.
The kids absolutely loved the swimming pool although weren't too keen about the 'no under 18s between 1745 and 1900' which may well be a big attraction to some people. With a sauna and steam room also, the pool area is very well appointed.
Our younger campers were a bit too old for the playgrounds but they seemed to be very well maintained and well designed. They did however, like the games room which has Air Hockey and pool tables as well as the usual shoot-em-up and driving video games.
As at least one other poster has pointed out, the roads leading up to the site are rather scary especially when towing a caravan but this is hardly the fault of the site. The locals do tend to hammer round the roads which have very limited visibility. We ended up with a few leaves and twigs sticking in the door on our way home but it's not a particularly long road and to a person, everyone we met was very courteous and very considerate with their road usage.
The only piece of advice I'd give anyone towing to their from the north is 'ignore your satnav: go all the way to M6 J35 and head through Carnforth. ' It's a longer journey but will be kinder on your brakes and your nerves.
Would we be back? Absolutely! It's around 20 miles or so to Bowness-on-Windermere but the peace and quiet on the site and the facilities for our younger campers make this a very minor disadvantage.
For us, it's definitely worth the added motorway miles for the facilities.
