 This is the first time we have visited Gibraltar Farm for 2 nights. It is a beautiful place. The Toilet/shower blocks were really nice and clean all the time. The stewards were excellent. I visited with my 2 boys and we went down to the beach lots of time which my boys loved. We will hopefully going again soon. Would benefit possibly from a childs play area, but that is the only criticism I have about it.

 We have visited this site several times over the years and it just gets better. The price is great value and the shower block is spotless with loads of hot showers and all free. This year they have new stewards and they are such lovely helpful people with a little shop that stocks things you may have forgotten. The weather was a bit wild when we visited but we still had a good time. Superb walking and very near Leighton Moss for birdwatching. We went mid week but it gets busy at weekends and school hols

 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.

 Don't get me wrong this site has spectacular views and much improved facilities as compared with a couple of years ago. It really is ideal. However, having just returned from a two night stay I am sorry to say that a few people have been allowed to camp there that really shouldn't. A group of lads and a group of girls (separate to each other) made a point of swearing loudly and using abusive language till about 12. 10am. When you've got kids with you (we haven't) it really would be a shame to hear this. The management of the site seems to have slipped somewhat compared to a couple of years ago. I spoke to the manager at 12am and he said he'd go and walk around. Surely it would have been better to do this at 11pm when everyone should have toned down.

Please don't be put off by this review. This is a great site with a great location but if the management slips things could change.

 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.

 After disappointing stay last September we came with friends for May bank holiday. We hardly recognised the caravan site, the fields looked so bare and open and we were horrified to see the amount of trees that have been felled on the fields and in the woodlands. As a personal member of the National Trust, I spent the whole weekend photographing the damage caused to this wonderful wooded area.

We were booked in by a new steward who told me mike and linda had retired. She said they had big plans for the site and I was pleasantly surprised to see fires were back up and running on the tent fields. Her partner said he felt 'chimney' fires should be part of camping. No protection whatsoever from winds and many tents were trashed. Was unhapppy at being told where to pitch unlike previously where you could choose your own pitch.

Toilet block was far cleaner than last season which is good but the showers were again cold. Lovely views from the tenting field, which is the main reason for our visit. 10 min walk to village

 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!
