Stayed here over the heatwave weekend, did not use the cafe apart from buying ice cream so cannot comment, although it seemed quite busy. The toilet block was quite new and regularly cleaned.
The site was quite busy with quite a few motor homes when when we were there but it was still quite.apart from a few children making noise after 11pm. Although with the weather being so hot we were still sat outside at this time.
Not far from morecambe and its many amenities. We visited happy mount park just at the beginning of the prom as you enter from carnforth end. Plenty to do for the kids although charges apply to some of the activities.
We visited the royal hotel in bolton le sands lovely meal although a bit on the dear side, nice surrounds and a large car park opposite.
The site is right on the edge of salt marsh which gives you lovely views especially if you set up in the field with the electric hookup. The tide comes in and out very quickly so be careful if going for a walk on the sand, sand is also quite soft so be careful.
Finally lovely site great for a weekend or short stay.
This was our first camping trip (my 5 year old son and myself). I chose Red Bank Farm after reading reviews on this site and its reasonably close location to where we live.
The site has two camping fields, both on a slope. The grass looked as if it had been cut recently. The site also accommodates a number of static caravans. You have to go through the farm complex and past the caravans to get to the fields.
The toilet / shower block is relatively new and is well equipped, however, the showers could have been a bit hotter. Archers Café on site is a bit expensive, but it does sell some good food.
The site is located on the coast north of Morecambe with easy access to the beach (across the salt marsh). When the tide is out this area attracts power kites and land yachts.
Thanks to Ashly55 for the information about the local pubs – useful to know if you don’t want to cook yourself.
A good first camping experience, which we hope to repeat.
Spent the last weekend of the year at this wonderful site. It is a well kept farm campsite.
We were the only tent there, which we thought was quite funny if not a bit mad. But there you go! Bear Lake 6 stood up to tough late October weather! Great location- several good pubs within easy walking distance! The Royal at Bolton Le Sands and The Hest Bank - fantastic food at both!, try Steak Frites at Hest Bank! The EHU made it for us! Can't wait for next Easter!
RED BANK FARM is a family run site. It is a working farm but they have two camping fields which are in an idyllic setting on the coastline near Morecambe.
We were recommended the site a few years ago and try to go several times a year (weather permitting). It can get quite windy as it is exposed to the elements but when the sun is shining we love it. Plenty of space for all size of tents and the site owners are very welcoming. Ideal if you just want to get away for a weekend and chill out.
The shower block is brand new and is always clean and tidy, last time we went there was 4 or 5 electric hook-ups ,they could do with more but its all about cost.
Morecambe is only several miles away and the near-by walks with the dog are superb.There is a animal corner which is very popular with the kids and there is a fantastic restaurant at the entrance to the site.
Our fifth visit to this fantastic campsite. Great views, loads of space for our 2 Lads to run around and make friends. Lots to do nearby, would recommend Happy Mount Park in Morecambe, free Splash Pool, Water Jets, Trampolines, Crazy Golf!
All in all a great campsite, just a word of warning the wind can blow heavy at times, due to the Location. Just peg all your guy ropes down, all will be fine.
Will Be returning again without a shadow of a doubt. Love the Place
Arrived here on what must have been one of the rainiest and windiest days for a long time, we had booked on the phone a couple of weeks prior for 3 nights at £13 P/N, and I was begining to wonder what I'd let myself in for. We drove through the farm entrance and called into the archers cafe (and reception) where I paid the fees. I was given all the info needed and carried on up the sloping field to a pitch with EHU (stated at booking), needed levellers and was quite muddy, eventually got sorted.It was a bleak picture over the bay with all the bad weather coming at us.
Next day fantastic weather and we were lifted, walked into nearest place (bolton le sands) approx 1 mile - 20 mins, there was a chippy and two pubs, which, at the time, were keeping three police cars and crews, plus helicopter, busy, so we did'nt bother with either.Also the walk was not very inviting at night time so we stayed in.
Another place to walk to is Carnforth which took approx 45 mins -2.5 mile, where you can find a tesco and a booths supermarkets also a few pubs and a chinese, we walked the canal bank back as it was busy/noisy at the roadside.
We also walked into Morecombe which took about 1.5 hours, approx 5 mile, where there is everything you need and some wonderful shopping malls.
On one occasion we were taking the dogs for a walk but as we were leaving the site, was confronted by a growling rottweiler and I had to shout it down just as the owner came out of the farmhouse, so was very weary going through there every time.
There is no beach here as I would call it anyway, it's more like mudflats there's plenty of grass on the beach anyway.
The shower block looked new and everything was very clean although I never saw anyone do it, pity there was no stool or shelf in the 4 showers so it was a juggling act with two hooks, plus you get a measly five seconds of water before you have to press again so you can't have a decent shower, also there was no mop installed so floor was a bit iffy.An outside potwash and shower for kids in summer were also at the block.Would maybe stay for a night here again but would rather pass through.
This site was certainly great value for money - £10 a night for an adult, 2 kids, plus dogs!
The showers/loos were cleaned every day we were there. Plenty of hot water in the showers. An outdoor hot shower for sandy kids and dogs was a great idea - kids used it each time they went on the beach.
The beach was not your usual sandy beach, it was rather sludgy and sinking sand in some parts, also hilly grassy areas to navigate before reaching the sand - but it was all good fun.
The site itself was clean and there was a choice of pitching in one of two fields - the lower one away from wind, or the higher one with sea views.
Free range hens wander through the fields which was nice. There is a good pets are for the kids. Although I will say I felt very sorry for the guinea pigs as they seemed to appear rather neglected, lack of sawdust/hay etc :(
Nice cafe which was rather overpriced, but as it was a holiday you don't mind treats now and then.
- Location, right on Morecambe Bay and, yes, it's a Range Rover buried in the mud!;
- Facilities, the cafe and the toilets/showers are first-class, and look like new;
- Price, not only is the cost model simple, but they're also good value. When I went recently the charge was £5/adult, £2.50/child. I try and avoid the sites that squeeze every penny out with per person, per tent, and per car charges!
The only down-side is that the site has few level pitches, though they're not too bad and they are reasonable flat, so make sure you pitch your head uphill of your feet!
The Lake District is within driving distance, as is Lancaster Castle & Williamson's Park. For eating we walked along the coast to the Hest Bank Inn next to the canal ***great beer***, and drove to The Curry Leaf in Morecambe.
We had a restful night - free from tents with Party-Goers - despite the Stormy Weekend Weather.
We chose this site on recommendation only 90 mins away.Two families of four with ages of children 3 - 13. Lovely site consisting of two fields. We were on the lower field which doesn't give the better views but still was pleasant. The new facilities were good with four various shower cubicles and about 10 toilets lovely hot water all free. Wash basin hot water came out very quickly. No park for the children but a pet corner with about 8 different types of animals. Cafe on site did't use but had a delicious ice cream. Also bought the recommended salt lamb burgers which we all enjoyed.Very near to the beach and sea. Lots of sand buggys using the vast space of sand.
We did a lovely walk along the front into Bolton Le Sands and found an excellent pub serving food which we ate at and would recommend and the bottles of wine are £10 with very friendly staff.Has a beer garden and a play area for the children. Dogs not allowed inside. The beer garden leads out to the canal where we walked to another pub again child and dog friendly although not as busy had just been taken over.
It is possible to walk into Morcambe we didn't. We went in the car and walked along the front. Plenty of supermarkets. Morrisons Aldi etc. The usual sea front amusements and a clean beach with sand.
At Carnforth there is a Tesco. If travelling up/down the M6 recommend to get of at junction 35 for Carnforth and not 34 for Lancaster.
We managed to book 1 night at this really nice site. Set off in lovely sunny weather and look forward to our stay. We were not restricted to a specified pitch so were free to wander and look around. Pitched up in the top field which overlooks the bay, great views from here. The wind had picked up by now and after struggling a bit got the tent up. By t-time the sky was very black and then wham! gale force howling winds & lashing rain. This was relentless all night, thought we were sure to lift off. At 5 am I was in the car, looking at flattened and bashed about tents. How we didn't all end up tentless I'll never know.
What with no sleep hardly sad to say we had had enough for this camping trip and unfortunately the wind hadn't died down enough to calm our frayed nerves.
For those who like to stay out of the wind, they would fair better in the bottom field, this looked to be more sheltered (their tents didn't look like ours did).
At £10 a night we would defo stay here again with better weather conditions as it is really nice. Grass kept cut, toilets/showers good, didn't get chance to sample archers cafe, but hear it is worth a visit.Funny to see chickens freely clucking their way around, if you pitch in the top field the cows come right up to you, they would be in your tent without the fence lol.
Anyway, all in all I would recommend this great site, bet its brilliant in good weather and fantastic views across the bay.
I can understand why this site has so many reviews as after our last tour of 11 different sites, this was not only the best, but also the cheapest!
We could not believe we only paid £13.50 for two adults, two dogs and electricity as everything was so luxurious. I would employ the designer of the shower unit for my own home as so classy and spacious. The views we had were beautiful, watching the sea whizz in and out across a field of friendly Fresian cows to one side and hills with a train track to the other.
Archers Cafe is fantastic, again amazing interior design which puts the icing on the cake for the glorious food served there. Do make sure you eat one of their breakfast baps, local produce and the best bacon and egg I have eaten since I was a child about 55 years ago! They also sell wonderful salt marsh lamb, so the previous night I bought 2 'lamb henries' and cooked them in our oven and again, a real taste from childhood and about half the price I would pay in London.
The petting farm animals for the children were also greatly appreciated by this pensioner, and to top it all delightful campers on the site. A wonderful place that attracts wonderful people!
Just got back from red bank farm,stayed fri-sun.weather was horrendous bad winds all through each night did not get any sleep.
The site is on a hill near the sea so no getting away from it.
The site facilities good toilets and showers v good animals for the kids to look at. Archers cafe on site nice bit pricey you can buy half an organic lamb for £60 or full for £120. They also sell lamb burgers for £1.10. Out from the site on main road turn left on that road is an indian, chinese and a pub where you can buy food.
This site has to be one of the best I have been to. It's extremely clean for a working farm, well signposted and in an ideal spot right near the sea with lovely walks and plenty to do for everyone at £5pppn you can't grumble.
The owners are friendly and the onsite cafe with home made baking is a real luxury. Showers are hot and free but you have to keep pressing them every few seconds to keep the flow - it was fun! children are welcome and dogs kept on a lead. Both fields are sloping but there are a few flat spaces and be warned it can windy at night. If you check in after 4pm you may struggle to find someone onsite to take your money but the atmosphere is so relaxed that you can pay the next day. The site is well kept and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves
We stayed (a group of 7 of us) from Thurs to Sun and it got busy on Friday night and Satuday morning so be sure to book to save yourself a place. I hope to go back one day. Well impressed. Enjoy people!
Red Bank Farm was the host to our first ever camping trip (well, hers anyway - I used to 'rough' it in the scouts) and I think we spoilt ourselves.
Such a lovely well kept site, toilets and shower block was always very clean and great standard. I think 'facilities' were the make or break with camping for the other half and she was certainly more than happy - so much so she has turned into a camping addict now!
It is situated right near the beach, although didn't go for some of the more adventurous walks like others it was great to chill out and watch the tide come in in the evenings.
Met some friendly people there, most of which seem to be regulars to the site. It is on a slight slope, but nothing that adjusting the direction of the air bed didn't help solve.
Tried the ice cream from the cafe on site which was wonderful, menu looked very good and heard good things about the food.
Looking forward to our next visit, hopefully it the not too distant future! Next time we will pickup some of the lamb burgers people have mentioned!
