 Just back from a week at this site. We pitched in the lower field close to the hedge at the top of the slope. This was, as it turned out, a good idea because the prevailing wind, when we were there was from the bay which was behind us and it did get very windy. There was plenty of space in the middle of the field for the kids to run round and let off steam.
The facilities were basic but kept clean. 2 showers and plenty of cubicles and sinks in the ladies, 2 washing up points, always plenty of hot water too.
The viws from the site are fantastic right up towards the Lake District you can see lots of hills (though you can't see the camp site from the opposite direction!).
We found it a very quiet site, there's no traffic noise at night, just wildlife and farm animals close by. The main west coast train line runs across the valley though and the trains run all night and they aren't quiet, especially the freight trains - but we were fine after the first night.
The on-site cafe sells good food (and local salt marsh lamb, bacon etc) as well as things like windbreaks and toys. It doesn't open until 9:30 though so their fantastic breakfast buns (baps if you come from the south) make it a very late breakfast. The chocolate cake and the lemon drizzle cake come highly recommended. The fish and chip shop in Hest Bank serves both fish and chips (very good) and chinese food (not tried).
Locally there's plenty to do, Morecombe has a nice sandy beach and lots of seaside activities, also a cinema, bowling alley and other places for a wet afternoon. The Lakes are within easy reach of course. Lancaster is within 15 minutes drive and there's plenty to do and see there - a visit to the butterfly house is a great wet afternoon thing but worth it even when it's sunny. The beach is easily accessible from the site but there are warnings about safety so we didn't venture too far.
We had a great time, despite the awful weather and we will certainly be going back as soon as we can manage it.

This was our second stay at red bank farm.
Its a lovely place to stay the only problem this time was the rain the field was very boggy as it rained none stop for 2 days everywhere was flooded.
Because of the rain the toilets was very busy with people coming and going and the line of people waiting for the shower was aprox 30mins as they only have 2 in the ladies which are so very very basic but you can cope for a couple of days.
What more can you ask for at £4 each per night.
We will keep going back its great for being so close to the beach and having all the animals around its a great place to be.

We visited here first bank holiday May (2007). It was a tad cold and windy but remained sunny and dry until the early hours of Saturday night when the heavens opened and the wind was so bad that many people packed up and left!
There are 2 very large fields to camp in , the first field has views of the sea but would be a little exposed and gets windy and the field below is still open and exposed but is a little less windy. We stayed on the 2nd field and although was a little windy in general that day and also has a gently slope it was fine with loads of room and so we didn't feel squashed from the other tent pitched right next to next to us . We had no problems pegging down into the ground.
The farm is delightful - it is a real working farm and you can go and see the farmer milk his cows and even help feed some of the milk to the little calf's/ lambs!. There are chickens just wandering around the site which delighted the children no end!
The shower block is adequate but need a bit of a update.But hey that's camping!
All in all, we would go back again as the views were wonderful and we spent the evening after tea on the beach collecting stones and shells (beware of sinking sand!) which was just lovely.

Just got back from a Friday to Monday stay here at Red Bank Farm.
We tried to follow everyone's advice and pitch in the lower field, without success. Looks like everyone had the same idea.
Eventually we found a spot on the upper field in the top corner sheltered on both sides by the hedge. The fields do slope, and there aren't too many places where it is flat.
We managed to get pitched without too many problems even though it was raining quite heavily. About an hour later the wind hit the open field and boy did we know about it. As you're right next to the beach the wind never really goes away, just died down a bit then picked back up when the tide came in (usually around 2am). This made getting a good nights sleep impossible, for me anyway.
The facilites are basic, just 2 showers in the ladies and 2 washing up spots. As the site was pretty full it did mean queuing at busy times.
The cafe on site looked great, but a little expensive so we didn't eat there. The pets corner was sweet and the farm cats very friendly too!
All in all a great site for the price, basic, but what do you expect for £8 per night?

If your looking for peace and quiet to chill out in the countryside this is the place to go, two good sized fields with unmarked pitches, the bottom field is on quite a slope but the two sides of it are reasonably level, I would say that a good set of pegs will be needed as it does get windy being right on the coast.
The toilet/shower block is clean and functional with only one shower in the male side, not sure about the ladies as I didn't fancy arrest.
There is a well appointed cafe where the reception is if you fancy someone else cooking your lunch although we didn't use it on this occasion
Can't say much about the area as we only left the site once to go to Tesco which is a couple of miles away in Carnforth

We went for the weekend Friday to Sunday 2 adults and a tent.
This was the first time we had stayed there.
We was on the 1st camp site as there are two fields you can choose from.
We just booked in at reception with mark the owner and he said just set up where ever you want.
It was busy and a lot of fellow campers we spoke two came regular because of its laid back approach.
The site is lovely with farm animals to can see in pens the children around the site seemed to really enjoy it.
It has a cafe serving good quality food and drinks.
The site is facing the beach so ideal for walking and strolling about.
The down side to the site is the toilet and showers they are the most basic set up that you could possibly imagine.
They are just in like an old out building with corrugated roof and concrete floor.
There are spiders, cob webs and beetles they are not the cleanest so be prepared.
The lighting is very poor at night. The showers are just a pipe spraying water out you cant change the temperature or anything its like a trickling hose pipe.
That is the main problem its the toilets and showers but if your not worried about that than am sure you will love the location and the site.

The owners were really friendly and welcoming. The children loved the pets corner, watching the cows being milked and the chickens roaming around the site. The shower and toilet facilities were cleaned regularly and very adequate, the water was very warm.
The cafe/restaurant looked really nice, they did sell fresh meat but did not sell milk or bread but there was a supermarket 10 minutes away, which was fine. The site is safe for children and everyone we came across was really friendly.
We really enjoyed our first camping experience and will definitely stay again.
The only thing that we would want to see added would be a playground for the children.

This is our second visit to the farm, we love everything about it. The relaxing atmosphere and warm welcome as soon as you arrive. We have both times managed to have electric hook up even though there are only 4, so you need to book in advance if you require this facility, we have been both times towards the bottom of the field, which has been a brill spot especially this time cause we took friends with us so we had all the bottom corner to ourselves. We have kids which are 3, 7, 13 and 16, who all love the site, they love watching the cows be milked, feeding them through the fence, and also going down to the farm corner were there a few more animals. The toilet blocks are spotless and cleaned very regular, the womens showers could do with speeding up but are ok.
The location of the farm is brill rite on the beach, were you can enjoy a nice stroll.
The views at night are tremendous, we got some lovely pics.
The staff are lovely, and the cafe is very nice.
There is a tesco just 5 mins down the road in a car, and morcome is 10 mins away by car were there is a nice beach and little park on the front for the kids.
Back to the site, the big open camping field is brill for the kids to run freely. Just getting our dates together to book again asap, would highly recommend BRILL!

We visited this site for the weekend to trial our new tent (Outwell Nevada XL which is brilliant by the way!).
When we arrived it was pouring with rain but we decided to pitch anyway. The site is part of a farm and there are two large fields that you can pitch in, we were told we could pitch wherever we wanted so I was guided by previous reviews that said the lower field was more sheltered. The grass had been freshly cut and we pitched in no time. We have a 2 year old and an 11 year old and both of them loved charging about in the open space.
The toliets and showers are very basic but sufficient for a weekend and were kept clean. It was amusing to have a shower whilst listening to the calves mooing in the little farm area where you are welcome to have a look round and stroke the animals which my little girl loved.
There is a cafe which looked very nice but we didn't use it, and the staff seemed friendly.
The site seemed to have mainly families on when we were there but would suit everyone. It was good value at £15 per night for 3 adults, 2 children and 2 cars. We would definitely return to this site for future weekends away.

This was our first trip as a family on May day Bank Holiday weekend.
We arrived on a very busy Saturday and were told to pitch where we could find a space so headed for the upper field. It felt very open. Good area for the kids to play in.
Good dishwashing area, if a little small (but then it was busy!) and the loos were kept clean with cleaning taking place at least 3 times a day.
At the top end of the field it is quite a walk with water and also a long walk to the loos!.
Even late Saturday it didn't feel too crowded. Much of the centre of the upper field also had tents in it but there was still plenty of space for children to play.
However on Saturday night a late storm hit the campsite. We moved all our loose belongings inside and slept. But during the night we reckon about 75% of the tents had left and many still showed some damage. The lower field fared a lot better being better sheltered.
No damage to our tent apart from a sprung pole but we decided to call it quits. Needless to say my husband had no problem getting hot water for his shower, or me for our breakfast dishes as there was no one left!
That morning we took our sons on a small tour of the animals before we left which they really enjoyed.
We would be happy to use this campsite again. Although the facilities are basic it is in a great location and very clean.

Just been back to the farm for Easter weekend - against everyones advice due to the weather! I can confirm that it was freezing! Couldnt get our tent up on the first day, it was too big, and too windy. The owners helped us to book into a local pub for the night, and we managed to set up camp the day after - and they refunded us for the night we missed!
Love it here, very friendly and relaxing, they have a new cafe since we went last, very upmarket slightly daunting for a numpty like me - but thankfully they serve crumpets and sausage and mash etc at very reasonable prices which are absolutley devine. 5 of us ate there and we all enjoyed it (which is saying something)
I cant wait to go back, its a lovely place, just which I'd have gone into the cafe on the first day instead of the last!

This is our first review of a Camp Site, so I apologise for any mistakes. Brilliant Site, the dogs love it there, as do the children (12 11 10 yrs)
Toilet/Shower/Washing area basic but cleaned at least twice a day. Staff are Very Nice, this is our regular Site as we find it very relaxing and peaceful.
We have been here three times and can pass on a few Handy Hints:
1, Pitch facing away from the beach as on our 2nd visit we faced the sea and were nearly blown inside out!
2, Use the M6 Jcn 35 turn off, it you use the 34, one you end up driving through Lancaster.
3, There are two roads which lead to 'the shore' one is sign posted Red Bank Farm, off the A5105 down Pasture Lane, the other entrance is off the A6 onto St Michaels Lane (near 'Far Pavillions') this is a bit twisty but easier than going down Pasture Lane.

I loved this site. It was cheap, no extra charges for large tents or dogs etc, and the owners were lovely.
Its on a farm and the pet corner is so cute. The girls were also invited to see the cows milking but we were on our way out much to their disappointment.
The showers and toilets are basic, but were always kept clean which can't have been easy as the weather was horrible! There were 2 showers in the ladies and so I presume the same in the gents and they were the push button type, but they were free and had plenty of hot water (tho you had to wait a while for the dribble to turn into a proper stream of water). The washing up area is quite small, but then we never had to queue for it and again it was always kept clean.
Fantastic views from the site. We were pitched in the top field and overlooked the sea which was beautiful, but it also meant we had NO shelter whatsoever. We had electric hookup (there are only 4) which meant we had little choice on where to pitch and we were quite close to the caravans either side of us. This did actually turn out to be a good thing tho as they gave us a little much needed shelter! It was EXTREMELY windy.
Its within easy distance of loads of good walks, Morecambe has a fantastic park for the kids and they are in the process of developing all the front and have just put a load of sand on the beach so the kids had a great time. Its also close enough for a day out to blackpool and that took us just over an hour to get there. Morecambe seemed much more child friendly tho. It has small play parks all along the promenade and a little fairground area with rides for younger children. We also found a soft play area at the back of one of the amusement arcades but I can't remember the name of it - I think it was pleasureland.
There is a wacky warehouse attached to a 2 for one pub, but we found the service extremely slow and the food not great. We did find a pub called duke of rothesay in heysham near the ferries and the food there was really nice, reasonably priced and they have an outside play area for the children.
All in all we had a great time even if we did have to move to a static after days cos the wind was so bad but I can't blame the farm for that.
We will definitely be visiting again.

I visited this site with two sons, Aug22/23, as a base for walking up Helvellyn. It was perfect camping. A friendly, trouble-free phone booking from London. Easy to reach and find. No problem arriving late (quietly). A huge camping field - no crowding. Adequate wash/ablution facilities. A working farm site with much to see and Morecamb Bay over the wall. Tesco site handy. Perfect.
