 Very enjoyable stay. Never saw owners (but didn't need to!), communications before arrival were great.
Nicely laid out, spacious pitches. Views across the bay are amazing. Lovely cafe just outside the entrance.
Easy walk into town.
Would definitely stay again, if in the area.

Last visited 50 years ago (mustn't leave it so long next time!). Not much has changed, apart from the new toilet block.
Perfect location with stunning views and a short walk to the beach or village.
The camp field was lush, crazy farmer with his sit-on grass cutter keeps it in tip top condition.
Handy shed reception area on arrival, easy pre booking, good value for solo bikepacker.

We loved the campsite at Gibralter farm. The view of Morecombe Bay from the spacious and beautifully kept grassy field was beautiful.
And it was lovely to be able to wander through the woods to the private cove and over the fields to the beach.
There was lots of space and utter tranquility with birdsong and no traffic noise.
The washing and toilet facilities were modern, plentiful and immacualately clean.
Thank you to Amy and the team. We will be back.

Lovely setting and a well organised site.
Plenty space for kids to wild play and a lot for them to explore (stoney beach area & rock pools a woodland & ‘rocky caves’ and farm animals ) a great escape.

After a horrible journey up the M6 from Warwickshire we arrived at 3 pm and were greeted by the friendly stand-in steward. We booked in and were directed to pitch R7 with a sea view which we had requested. We last visited in September 2022 on pitch L34 and witnessed spectacular sunsets.
We had overlooked the fact that the sun sets further to the north in June and our view of the sunsets from our ‘van was hidden behind a bank of trees (albeit they do provide a windbreak from northwesterly winds. In future we will pre-book L9 or L10 if available.
In all other respects it was a good pitch with EHU and water hook up. I would score facilities at 10/10 if the pitches also had grey water disposal but a wastewater trug is required here.
The toilet/shower facilities are well designed and kept spotlessly clean. The grey and black water disposal are sighted adjacent, together with dish washing up facilities for campers. A laundry room is an added bonus for those staying for longer periods.
The campsite is accessed along Hollins Lane which is tight for a conventional caravan and more so for an 8 foot wide ‘van. That said, we were able to negotiate it and there are passing places. The campsite is situated on a working farm and you do have to drive through cow slurry from the milking parlour on wet days (and wash it off the front of the caravan and wheels on arrival). Hence my 8/10 score for location.
From the campsite there is a “dog walk” through woods, or a short walk to Jack Scout NT Nature Reserve and onto Jenny Brown’s Point with views across Morecambe Bay and Heysham (nuclear power station).
Further on you can cross the causeway to Quaker Stand and visit the bird hides overlooking pools on the salt marsh. We spotted a Marsh Harrier, Kestrel, Spoonbill, Grey Heron, Avocet, Godwit and a large colony of Black-headed Gulls, and more.
A short drive or bus ride away is Wharton Crag Nature Reserve where we spotted Peregrine Falcons and amazing views from the summit along marked trails. Similarly, RSPB Leighton Moss Reserve is fantastic for similar bird sightings and otters, with marked trails, hides and a viewing tower.
It also has a good cafe. If you are not RSPB Members there is a discount for arriving by public transport and is served by rail and bus routes. Nearby is Arnside again with amazing views from the summit of the Knott and several cafes in town.
One “must do” in Silverdale is lunch or dinner at the Silverdale Hotel - probably the best pies in Lancashire if not the world! Good beer too and very friendly service.
So overall, a very good campsite for a stopover if travelling north or south, weekends away or longer holidays.

We were really impressed by the site and it has very good facilities. The wardens were very friendly and helpful.
We were walking the Morecambe Bay for Breast Cancer so it was an ideal base.
We will be rebooking for September to explore the local area.
It was very quiet and any problems were soon resolved with the wardens.
Absolutely lovely views. The only thing as feedback to the owner's would be to reassure guests that going down the farm track was the correct route as we were rather anxious we would have to turn around with our motorhome.
Thank you for a wonderful couple of nights.

Welcoming site despite not being able to prebook due to busy owner.
Quiet (we were there midweek) and clean with free, adequate showers.
Lovely walks from the site.
Loved having cows as our neighbours too.

Had we not been on pitch 15, which is sandwiched between the toilets and the bins, I might have given this site a high score.
But I’m equally miffed that when we saw 2 cracking sea view pitches that were empty, the steward 2 days running said that we couldn’t move there as they were booked, yet nobody pitched there the whole time!
This site is good with great facilities, just a shame the steward wasn’t more helpful and just check you’re not on pitch 15

Great campsite with excellent facilities.
Views from the site are amazing if you're lucky enough to have a pitch facing the sea.
Lovely to wake up hearing the pheasants and birds. Toilets are shared at the moment but there are plenty and private cubicles.
Loved the boot and dog wash.

We travelled to Gibraltar Farm Campsite on Sunday 25th September. Instructions on the website were easy to follow from the M6 and we arrived ahead of the 2pm entry time.
The campsite is located on a working dairy farm and we did have to drive through some cow slurry before entering the site down a steep slope. The Stewards allowed us to book in early and as there was a choice of pitches we chose one with extensive views across Morecambe Bay.
Each tourer pitch has EHU and water making life easier, with only grey and black water to dispose of into the facilities provided. The toilet and shower block has cubicles for both able and disabled campers, communal hand basins, boot and dog wash, and washing up basins.
It was a bit chilly to use them early morning or late evening but kept very clean by the stewards. In fact, the stewards kept the grounds well tended with mowers and strimmers used on every day we were there. A small wild flower garden had been established which myst have looked very colourful in the summer.
The terraced site has a large number of permanent or semi permanent caravans, some if which have created gardens and boundaries with ornaments and lights (solar powered?). Waste disposal bins are located by the grass plots enclosure but we couldn’t find any recycling bins which are usually expected nowadays. WiFi is available and works best within 50m if the toilet block.
Fields and a wood adjoin the site with lots of dog walkers taking advantage of short walks and using the poo bins (mostly). Being late September it was quiet, with spectacular sunsets and the dark skies allowed amazing views of the stars and constellations.
There are numerous walks nearby, our favourite being a circular to Jenny Brown point via Jack Scout and around the bay through woods to Hollins Lane and back to Gibraltar Farm. RSPB Leighton Moss reserve is a must for keen ornithologists or familied, with buses running from Woodwell Lane to Silverdale Station, a short walk away. We had a lunch at the Silverdale Hotel and the best beef and onion pie I’ve ever eaten.
The chips are cooked in beef dripping (a northern favourite) and tasted fantastic but not for vegetarians! The village also has a very well stocked Co-op store, butcher, newsagents/P. O. , other independent shoos and weekly activities organised by local charity groups.
Overall, Gibraltar Farm is a very well kept campsite with good facilities located in a beautiful part of N. W. Lancs and real value for money at £26/night for two adults, without awning.
We will definitely go there again.

This is the second year I have been to Gibraltar Farm and was my first choice.
It's in a lovely spot and the village is only a hop, skip and jump away.
Nice walks along the coast line and in line through the woods.
The toilet/shower (etc) block is always lovely and clean and the wardens are very helpful.
Easy to get to and a relaxed atmosphere. Of course, being on the coast, if there is wind it is breezy here.
Definitely worth a try, I am sure you will be back, as I will.
