 This is a lovely campsite - very busy during half-term week and rather windy when we went. Not a lot of shelter with it being on the coast. However, the campsite itself is lovely - freerange eggs from the hens that wander about the camping field, we ate in the cafe once and food very good but it shuts early (about 4 or 4.30pm), lovely icecreams and delicious lamb burgers from the farm's own saltmarsh lamb (if none in fridge then ask as they have frozen ones in the back). Toilets new and very clean considering number of people using them. Kids loved the pets corner and watching the cows being milked.

Our first trip away camping and I think we've now set the bar very high in choosing Red Bank Farm. OK, so I've nothing to compare it with but I though it was excellent and others on the site seemed to agree.
Left to our own devices to find a spot after paying £17.50 per night for 2 adults and 3 kids and chose the upper field. Bit of a slope but OK. Location and views superb. Cafe really excellent, selling home grown produce well cooked and as everyone else has said, superb local ice-cream.
Facilities modern and clean.
Would have no hesitation in recommending this site and we will return later in the Summer

We haven't been to Red Bank Farm since July 07 and had been itching to get back ever since. Since then they have built a much needed cafe called Archers, after the owners surname, to the entrance of the site on the beach front which opens everyday except mondays but unfortunately closes at 4.00pm. I think in time and maybe in the summer months that a later opening time may be advantageous.
They also have a brand spanking new toilet block which is stunning and makes an already excellent site into a superb site. As ever the owners are very friendly and relaxed allowing children to watch the milking of the cows and to visit the petting zoo.
There are two main fields and by arriving mid-week after the Bank Holiday we had a good choice of pitches in the second field. We always choose the second field for the stunning views over the bay and the pitches are reasonably flat as both fields are on a slope. Be aware that even on the nicest days there can be some ferocious winds overnight.
There are only 4 EHU's available in the second field and require booking, all other pitches you can just turn up. As the weekend neared and the temperatures rose the tents flooded in. Normally no camping is allowed in the centre of the fields to allow the children to play freely but an exception was made for a handful of tents which still allowed plenty of space for football, badminton, frisbee etc. The kids loved running on the beach (mud flats) and playing in the rock pools but always remember to be constantly aware of the tides.
Lovely walks left to Hest Bank and Morecambe through the cows field and right to Bolton Le Sands and Carnforth where a reasonable walk takes you to the village past the Bay View garden centre and brings you out by a family pub. Carnforth has a Tesco that provides you with all the things you will ever need or you can simply sample the farmers salt fed minted lamb burgers or free range eggs. We will be returning end of June and the kids can't wait definitely one of our favourites.

Don't know what I could say that isn't already in other reviews. Just that it's well worth a visit. Stayed during the Bank Holiday. A relaxed, warm and friendly site.
Pretty much left to choose our own pitch, they are not numbered and there are no restrictions on size of tent. Site in 2 fields - Higher and Lower. Pitched in the larger lower field which sloped gently. Even though it had rained a day or so prior to visit ground was surprisingly firm.
Site on a working farm with chickens roaming freely and a small animal farm. A nice cafe, however, I did not eat there but seemed quite popular. Did try the ice-cream - which was lovely.
The shower / loo facilities are excellent (plentiful and free) and always clean and complete with loo paper! The hairdryer takes 20p coins and there is an outside shower for dirty wellies etc.
Plenty of space for the kids to play and make their own fun. It was so relaxing that we didn't venture out to any shops/pubs etc but this was our first camping trip so wasn't on our agenda. Had a nice walk around surrounding area though.
There are only 2 washing-up sinks, however, that said, we never had to wait, even though there were plenty of families staying. All in all, we had a great time, the kids loved it, the weather was on our side and at £15 p/n (2 adults/2 kids) would definitely go back. Go on. Give it a try.

Very good site for families looking for a relaxing weekend. Informal and easygoing atmosphere, with ball games and campfires allowed, everyone played respectfully and it just added to the friendly ambience.
Lovely cafe onsite, and excellent toilet/shower blocks. Many of the pitches do slope and it's worth trying to find a sheltered spot as the wind can be quite strong at night. As we normally camp in the Lakes we thought £25 for 2 x adults, 1 x child and 1 x dog for 2 nights was good value.

Camped here over late May bank holiday. As said before brilliant price with no extra for a large tent. Masses of space - really good shower and loo facilities wonderful and clean.
Even though a few minutes from Morecambe a real country campsite. Good local walking - walked along foot path to Hest Bank with daughter but needed a car to reach local shops, 20 mins walk to local pub. No playground but space for ball games. Good mini animal area - 15 year old loved it!
Location fabulous for Lakes, Lancaster etc.
Cafe has excellent cake, filter coffee and reasonably priced ice cream. Chickens roaming lower field - fascinating to watch.
Looking forward to visiting again!

There is two fields a lower and a higher one, as we drove in we picked the higher field to the right as the lower field entrance was really muddy and I didn’t want to risk getting my little car and trailer stuck, as I got halfway up the higher field my car started wheel spinning but I managed to manoeuvre it to a space for pitching but it had been raining most of the day and I’m sure the owner would of hooked his quad bike up to the car and towed it to a pitch.
It was a bank holiday so there was a few tents pitched on their so people are turning up and trying to squeeze theie tents in tight areas. We had a couple pitch there tent a meter from ours which I didn’t mind but I felt sorry for them when our 10 month and two year old girls where crying at 7am and there bedroom was a meter away from there tent.
The toilet & shower blocks are excellent condition, clean, tidy & warm.
Plenty of bins to get rid of your rubbish and a water tap at the bottom of the field.
The onsite Cafe is really nice & outside seating to enjoy your food on nice days. You can purchase fresh eggs and milk from here, and the ice-cream is lovely.
There's a little animal farm for the kids to look around (watch out for the big pigs and their ugly teeth). There is hand washing facilities on the way out of the petting farm just in case the kids pet the animals.
There is also a paper van that comes around every morning about 9.30 if you want to purchase your daily rag.
Excellent views from the site, just a fifteen min drive will take you to Morecambe which has a good indoor / outdoor market on a Sunday and plenty of other shops for supplies. Also a 5 min drive to a town called Carnforth where there is a Tesco.
All in all this is a good site, great facilities and also cheap (£5.00 per adult, per night, no charge for kiddies) Would be nice to have a little park for the smaller kids, but there is plenty of room for them to run around and play.

This was our first time camping, and we wanted to try our new tent out. We paid £15 for one night for 2 adults, 2 toddlers and a dog, which seemed reasonable to us. The toilet / shower facilities were spotless and warm, if a tiny bit far from the field. Only because it poured all night!
Our cooker didn't work so we sampled the local chippy. It was a couple of miles away so we went in the car. It was v expensive but nice. There is a little cafe on site but it wasn't open while we were there so can't comment on that.
The surrounding area is gorgeous and the site is right on the beach, we could see the sea from our tent.
It is a farm so there are animals. Our kids loved seeing the chickens roaming and the sheep and cows.
Because of the rain we didn't do half the things we wanted to so will definitely, definitely go back to Red Bank Farm.

Just got back from a great weekend camping at Red Bank Farm!
I visited this site 3 years ago and the change has been amazing. The facilities are absolutely spot on and the pitches are great. We used one of the 4 electric hook-up pitches and had a view in one direction of the huge beach and miles of fields in the other direction. Sure, it is on a hill but not enough to be too problematic and, as other reviews have mentioned, it is such great value for money that it is a small price to pay.
The family had a great time visiting the animals and my daughter thought chickens wandering through our camp was fantastic! We will definitely go back here again.
The farmer and all the staff were fab too, by the way!

Fantastic site. Its become our fave place to stay! They just updated their loos n shower to 5 star hotel standard; they are warm, clean and posh lol, oh and free too.
They have two camping fields, one right on the beach almost; you can see the beach clearly and watch all the power kites and RC planes etc. Beach is so peaceful and it’s not filled with people either.
Camp site has a little animal farm for the kids complete with hand washing facilities and dog parking.
There is a cafe/restaurant on site that opens about 9.30 till 4pm so you can be lazy and not cook. The food is great! You can even purchase very fresh eggs and milk here too.
If you are lucky you might get to go watch the cows get milked. There are free range hens running about which is rather nice to see.
All in all it’s a bargain at just a fiver per tent per night. Couldn't ask for more really. Oh and there is loads and loads of space for kids to just run about and play too. Doggies are also welcome.
I'd give it ten out of ten. People are all friendly as well. Wish more camp sites were this good!

Our first time at Red Bank and will certainly be back, we were early in the season and pitched on the top field for two nights with five or six other tents, gently sloping field but no trouble for pegs. £10 a night for myself and two 6 year olds.
There's a supermarket within ten minutes drive, a beach you can walk to in five and a brand new shower block for 2009 with four showers and plenty of sinks and loos in my side.
The cafe looked busy throughout our stay, though we didn't use it this time.
I'll be back there soon.

Nice place, clean and very well looked after with man going round checking everything ok. Right on shore and it rained, badly. First night was great kids had lovely time, next morning it never stopped and wind was terrible. Unfortunately our tent split in the rain so we had to pack up and go home. The owners were really understanding and gave us a refund and couldn't have done more to help in our unfortunate situation.
I believe there is an animal area, which we didn't get to see, we didn't even make it onto beach! We will go back, but this is a very basic site with basic amenities, but is in nice area and is nice and clean so would have another go. Cheap too at only £7.00 for tent 2 adults and 3 kids, per night!

Just got back today from Red Bank Farm,It was £11 a day with electric but I think they only have 4 points so book well in advance if electric is needed,the fields are gently sloping & it can get very windy .The ladies have 8 toilets & 2 showers & I believe the mens toilets have plenty as well. The village is about 1 mile away with a Spar etc it's a lovely place with a canal.The sands were quite busy with someone windsurfing & kite flying ,the tide comes in & out quite quick some days but be careful of any quick sand in places.Had a good time just chilling ,kids all grown up so on our own .Look forward to going back next year .

Fantastic site. Is very basic but has everything you need and is kept well. Thes have a few animals which they were happy for the children to go and have a look.
Very large area get there early to get the pitch you want as parts can be lumpy.
The owners are very friendly and prices are great.
Definitely go there again

The overall theme of the other reviews is correct, but the facilities were very run down, although kept clean.
We camped in the bottom field leaving enough space between other tents, maybe too much as when we came back tents had squashed in, letting us hear every movement at night.
If you have a dog, a very good place for you. But be prepared to be packed to the hilt.
