 Fantastic location, facilities spotlessly clean, cleanest facilities I've ever seen on a camp/caravan site.
In and around the site very well kept, stunning views of the countryside.
Highly recommended this site.
Staff friendly and helpful.

A well organised site very quiet and the pitch we had was well spaced out with a nice area for the kids to play near to our caravan we used our awning which was on hard standing.
The organising for coved 19 was very good and the toilets were spotless and everybody was social distancing.
The staff were friendly and very helpful.
The site is very close to morcambe bay and there is a very nice bar and restaurant on site and a nice walk next to the canal into carnforth with a few pubs that do food which are very good
There is a reasonably priced shop on site and a supermarket about half a mile away.

Good site and well placed for walking the local area.
WiFi on site wasn't reliable as it kept dropping out
Other than that well recommended.
COVID19 measures seemed sensible and worked well.

Just returned from a weekend at Bay View.
Good points- Good size pitches, greeted by really friendly staff and escorted to pitch, facilities really good and bar area and food great
Not so good points- we went to this site because we were told they were in the process of completing a dog friendly area in the pub, so when we arrived on the Friday and enquired at the pub about the dogs we were told that they were only starting the work later on in the year. Dogs not allowed in the bar area
Felt a bit conned really.
Would of booked another site if we had known this before
Then when we went to the bar on Saturday tea time waited about 10 mins to get served. Apparently he was helping in the shop.
Don't think we will be returning, Silverdale much nicer with more walks for dogs, if you have dogs.

This site is very good. We were shown to our pitch and the warden was very helpful as we were only on our second trip at the time. Our pitch was large with our own water tap. Showers and toilets very clean and good quality. The on site laundrette is great, we used it twice. Views are great and the location excellent. We cycled to Lancaster along the canal, the towpath is firm all the way. I ride a trike so always looking for wide enough cycle paths, this one is fine. There is quite a steep path up to the towpath from the road, but after that access is good. We cycled a short distance in the other direction to Carnforth and had a meal in the Canal Turn pub, which was very good.
Our only gripe with this site was the closure times of the bar / restaurant in the height of the season and school holidays ! We ordered a bottle of wine, but were waiting for our washing to finish and so didn’t order food straight away. We saw on the menu that food was served until 9 pm, so we ordered food at 7. 50 pm. We were told that the kitchen was closing, and that the closure time of 8 pm was displayed on the door. We had not read the notice on the door, we were going by the information on the menu. In fairness, after complaining, they did cook us a meal, but they were not very happy with us. The next day we planned to have a cooked breakfast before leaving, but the restaurant wasn’t open until 12. 30. It’s a lesson learned, we will double check all opening times of site facilities in future.

The negatives. I get the impression that the tent field is an after thought and making use of spare land. The field is on quite a step gradient, there seems to be only a few inch of top soil and hammering in tent pegs can be quite difficult and due to the location the field is very windy, which actually caused a rip in my tent, after it got blown over a tent peg that was to be hammered in - frustrating!
The positives. The site is absolutely immaculate! The toilets and showers were spotless. On arrival the receptionist was pleasant and helpful. At any time of day there was always staff to be seen milling about doing something. I was most impressed with the site warden visiting the tent field late into the night. This was reassuring. The site is ideally located for Morecambe, Silverdale and Arnside.

Just done a quick weekend to this park and I have to say its spotless. Check in lady was fab and Mark the warden was very helpful. The toilet blocks are of a portacabin type but don't let that put you off they are spotless. The pitches are massive and I would love to come back in the summer and take advantage of the pitch and use my bbq etc. Some lovely walks to be had and a nice little garden centre not far away. I will deffo be back.

Beautifully kept site in a lovely location with direct access to the shore, which is wide salt marshes with the sea in the distance. Fabulous views across the bay to the Lake District fells. Nice walks directly from the site. Carnforth and good shopping just over a mile away, and a nice walk along the Lancaster canal towpath.
It is a large site with static vans, a large number of seasonal tourer pitches and both grass and hardstanding pitches for visitors. Pitches with electric hook up and water are all good sizes and a mixture of hardstanding and grass. The site was very windy, being in an exposed location and I'd imagine awnings need to be very well pegged down.
Toilet and shower facilities are very good - spotless and spacious.
The bar and restaurant on site are very attractive - looked cosy and welcoming and seem popular. We were disappointed that dogs are not allowed in the barn despite there being a stone floor and no carpets. The weather wasn't good enough to sit on the patio, where dogs are allowed, so this stopped us using the facilities on site as we personally won't leave the dog in the van alone, but that's our choice.
Overall pleasant enough and a quiet night's sleep, but at £29. 50 thought it a little expensive.

My rating would have been much better had I not seen a cleaner using ths same cloth to wipe the sink and taps as the urinal.
The location is amazing with superb views of Morecombe Bay and the mountains beyond.

This is one of our favourite sites, we like the fact that you are shown to the pitch and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The bar and restaurant were very nice with lots of space between the pitches with lovely walks for the dogs.

Lovely site, very peaceful and beautiful views of the sunset from the bottom of the site.
The pitches are spacious and have full services on them. It is a very clean and tidy site too.
The food in the restaurant was very good quality and the children's meals were great - good portion sizes and tasted good too.
The staff are very customer focussed and nothing is too much trouble - they will open the shop for you if you ask at the bar outside of its opening hours.
The managers walked round plenty to check everything was ok and were very friendly to all.
A great site and we will return

Just spent the 3 days at this fabulous campsite with my 11 year old son & nephew. The tent pitches are extremely generous (we have a large Vango tent and front canopy and still plenty of room) and EHU and water tap are right next to your tent pitch. The pitches are surrounded by motorhomes and caravans but enough of a distance away to be private. We arrived in very high winds, and the Warden came and helped us hold down our ground sheet - I'm not sure we'd have managed to pitch it without him - thank you!
The toilets and showers were plentiful and absolutely spotless. They were cleaned very regularly. All other areas were immaculate, and the grass was nice and short. We didn't use the Bar, but it looked lovely, an old converted barn. The boys were able to explore on their own (both 11) as the only downside was that the park was a fair distance away (this has been mentioned on previous reviews, but didn't cause us a problem at all as they went off exploring on their own, with their phones!). The site is down a hill of the main road so is very secluded and there is an entry barrier (which you need a code for) so it felt very safe.
There is only one negative that I have and that is the noise from the train tracks - it seemed to be a combination of freight trains and they were endless and fairly noisy well into the early hours.
It's quite an exposed site, but then it is right on the edge of Morecambe Bay which is beautiful and the views stunning.
We will definitely be back, a fabulous end to a summer holiday.
Thank you to all the staff for making us so welcome.

Well what lovely campsite we went as a group in tent (electric hook-up) all tents were spaced out the showers & facilities spot on clean & tidy. Grounds were well kept.
The kids had a field to play in which was in the middle of caravans & tents - where we could sit & watch them play (mine were 3&7yrs)they had a ball & met new friends & had kites to fly. Plus a pathway where they could scooter & ride their bikes.
Lovely walks to the coast with kids on tow staff were very helpful it was a secure site.
Shop, meals & bar were there not that we used the bar as we were happy staying @ our tent
