This was our first visit to Gibraltar Farm Campsite. The stewards were very helpful and friendly even though it was a busy weekend. The weather was warm and sunny but the wind was a little cold.
The entrance to the campsite is down a steep hill but gave us no problems. The toilet block was very clean with plenty of room in the showers. We had a hard standing pitch with hook up and great views overlooking the sea. The locally made ice cream was great. I would go to Gibraltar farm again.

We have just come back from 2 nights camping at Gibraltar farm. This is by far the best campsite we have stayed in in the England. The views from the tent field were amazing and we enjoyed chilling on an evening with a drink whilst watching the sunset. There are plenty of walks, woods and tree swings to go on around the campsite, my children had an amazing time and made lots of new friends.
The stewards were very friendly and helpful and have even turned their awning into a shop :) selling the basics like bread, milk, tinned/packet foods, drinks, sweets, chocolate, crisps and my daughters favourite ice pops lol. The steward is also always walking around or in his van so you can always get hold of him if need be. On the weekend/hot days the owner opens her ice cream hut where she sells homemade ice cream which we all found delicious. The farm workers were also very friendly and let my children visit the baby calves and sit on his tractor, my son loved this!
The toilet blocks are fab and clean and even had a family shower room which was nice and spacious for me and my 2 children (2 and 8 years) there were plenty of toilets, hot showers and a few electric points. Even though it was busy we never had to queue :) there were separate laundry and dish washing rooms which again were more then adequate.
We had a 4 man tent and only paid £12 a night. Bargain!
We can't wait to go back again :)

Just had 3 days at Gibraltar Farm. Great site in fantastic location.
The couple who look after the site are really friendly and helpful.
Toilet block was clean, even when the site was busy, and plenty of hot water. Good washing up facilities.
The stewards operate from a camper van with an awning which is reception and shop. They sell basics groceries, including some tinned goods, sweets and pop and have some information leaflets. You can use the freezers in there for freezer blocks (free of charge).
Although site was busy, it wasn't too noisy and the stewards made sure noise was kept to a minimum after 11pm. One group were asked to leave while we were there because they had made too much noise. If there are any issues, the stewards seem to deal with them promptly.
Very close to Leighton Moss RSPB reserve, loads of walking in the area.
Can't believe what good value the site is. We intend to go back. Would think booking essential in school hols and summer weekends.
Didn't use any local pubs this time.
No playground, other than a tyre swing in a tree, but space for kids to play and bits of woodland for them to explore.

Have just spent 2 nights at this site and thought it was wonderful. Took my dog and 2 daughters and hubby. This was our first trip for almost 2 years and the first test of our new (to us) tent. Arrived on site and it was heaving down with rain but picked a spot and got cracking. The tent went up easily despite the rain and we didn't even fall out! It rained all day and night with heavy wind during the night to the extent the girls slept in the car, I spent the night sat in a chair as expected the tent to go any minute! Hubby was as expected sleeping like a log and snoring!
Despite really poor weather and being cold this site is brilliant. The toilets and shower block were clean and warm at all times and the stewards little shop was well stocked. She gave me some of her own sugar as she had none in stock.
The stewards were very helpful and did remove a rowdy group of young adults at 2 am. We have been on other sites and the noise has been terrible.
My children are a little older but it looked as if all the younger children were having fun despite the poor weather, there are rope swings and a central rocky outcrop which all the kids seemed to love. There is plenty of room for ball games. The smell of the wild garlic walking to the shower block is divine. The woods are lovely and the walk to the bay is fab. The views over Morecambe bay are stunning, I could just imagine a beautiful few days of nice weather and it would be brilliant. We will definitely go back to this site it is everything you want for a peaceful, relaxing break.

Just spent a few days at Gib, loved it, (although it was a little cold) the site was lovely and quiet, not many tents and a few caravans, we were in a camper so had the amenities more or less to ourselves. The site has been improved lots even since our last visit last year.
The toilet and shower block is the best we have come across with underfloor heating which was definitely a blessing in this weather, the paths have all been improved so no more tripping in the dark! (even though the boys quite liked the rocky limestone paths)
The new stewards are lovely and very helpful.
If you are wanting a campsite that has top class amenities but not a top class price this is definitely for you. It is by far the best site we have visited and one of the cheapest. The kids can be kids and spend the day climbing, exploring, getting dirty and making new friends while the adults can enjoy the gorgeous views over the bay and sip a nice vino!

Have just enjoyed a 2 night stay with friends, in total 3 tents 6 people, we found the site to be excellent in every way,
The staff were very friendly & helpful,
The views across the bay were stunning with a sunset to remember,
We enjoyed meals on both nights at the Silverdale hotel & for lovers of cask ales the Cricketers Arms is well worth a visit, both not too much of a walk from the site,
The facilities were of a very high standard & we are looking forward to our next stay.

We have just come back from a lovely weekend away at this site. The first time visiting and will definitely go back but for longer. We arrived around lunch time, the warden wasn't on site at the time but we were told by some very helpful long staying caravaners which pitches were free and which ones were the better for drainage as it had been heavy rain and some pitches were boggy. We chose our pitch with plenty of drainage and we were glad we chose the pitch we did as we did see a few struggle later getting caravans on due to the conditions of the grass on some pitches. The warden came shortly after and greeted us and said she was going to leave us to set up and get settled before coming back. She is a lovely lady and made us feel welcome.
We were situated not far from the toilet/shower block which is fantastic, out of all the campsites we have visited the facilities are the best on this one so clean and spacious. But if we were campers I think we would be writing a different review as they are quiet far away from the camping field.
The atmosphere in both the caravan and camping fields were brilliant fellow campers are so helpful and are willing to help you if struggling with awnings tv receptions as we witnessed. There is no park for the kids but you don't need it on this site with the little forest which leads to the beach and caves my kids loved it. On the Saturday of our visit Morecambe were having a firework display so we took our kids on an adventure with the torches through the forest and sat on the cliffs with many others watching the fireworks across the bay. Lovely views at the top of this site with benches so you can eat your home made ice cream. We didn't want to leave and will be back!

The location of this site is just beautiful and the village has a coop, Indian takeaway, a pub, chemist etc. The camping fields are very exposed to the winds and a seasonal caravan pitcher told us that many tents are lost and damaged due to the severe winds and he had in fact lost his own awning to the winds.
The new facilities are lovely but after using the toilet you have to walk to another room to wash your hands! ON the last day of our stay the farm tractor came down and we had to endure the machine emptying the sewage from the toilets. The stench was terrible and I'm sure a health hazard. Sadly this site isnt for us

We've been going to this lovely, friendly site for over ten years both in caravans and tents. It shows we like it so much as we keep coming back numerous times a year and will continue doing so, even though are kids are now older and don't always want to come with us. Ideal for kids as they have plenty of freedom are able to play in woods and on the beach, not in concrete parks (Just remember to tell them how dangerous the sands can be).
The new toilet/shower blocks are great, plenty of hot water in the showers, the only drawbacks are not enough hooks in the cubicles and next to the plug sockets and sinks they could do with some hooks and a shelf for campers drying their hair, doing makeup etc. So your stuff doesn't have to be on the floor just in case it is dirty (mind you we've always found the floors clean - so no criticism about cleanliness!)
Our only other criticism is that fires are no longer allowed. Fires have always been part of camping, again it's a change for kids to make melted marshmallow sandwiches, at night round a campfire (rich tea biscuits and marshmallows to those who didn't learn this in the Brownies) and it does take some of the atmosphere away, especially on a cold night in the camping field, when everyone goes inside early to keep warm rather than staying outside and having fun. Maybe the rules could be relaxed a bit that you could have a fire in an off the ground bbq or fire pit.
Finally, well done to the stewards who keep such long hours. We were there when they've put on quizzes to get everyone together. It's a great atmosphere and gets people talking and laughing together.
Again, it is just a great site, fantastic views nice area, handy Co-Op but I don't want to recommend it to any more people in case there isn't space for us when we try to book in!

Just returned from our camping trip to gibraltar farm and must say there new toilet block is a hit with me. There are plenty of showers, sinks and toilets, plug sockets to charge your phone or hairdryer. The only downside to this usually great site is they have stopped the fires at the caravans, we have friends who have a caravan on this site and use to look forward to having a glass of wine while sat out with a fire, that's all about camping, and feel its lost it's charm by doing this! Please reconsider the fire issue! Other than this it was a good but very wet weekend :)
