Estuary View Escapes Reviews

Fantastic for dogs

Fantastic location and a short walk along the coast path to the beach. Site was secure and all facilities were immaculately clean. Louise was very attentive and welcoming. Being picky, the only thing that would improve the site would be electric hook up but we survived the night without it! Would happily recommend the site.

Amazing few days

This is an amazing site to stop. Louise is an excellent host and goes out of her way to make sure you enjoy your stay. The site was perfect for us and the amenities are excellent and clean. Right next to the beach and some lovely walks, I highly recommend.

Exceptional

This is a hidden gem of a place. Unbelievably peaceful and tranquil. Some photos gave me the impression that it was just an old junk yard that you can camp on, but nothing could be further from the truth when you get there. The views are stunning and when the tide goes out the empty estuary is just so interesting to look at. At the end of the site is a walk down to a beach with sand that has just been taken off a desert island. Only gave 4 stars for facilities as there is no hook-up and showers, which didn't bother us, but some people might not like that. The toilets were amazingly clean, as was the site.

Thanks. It does say on the listing that there are no showers or electric.

3 night stay

Stop for 3 nights. Louise and Lee were brilliant, friendly and helpful with great knowledge of the local area. Fantastic place, stunning views, good walking and bird watching 😊

Lovely night stay

Lovely area for a night's stay, facilities were clean and looked after! Perfect views in the distance, beautiful for the super low price!

Thank you 👍👍

Nice and quite environment

The location is very spacious, I drove a Tesla but each pitch is large enough to park at least 2 RVs with much margin. It is east-facing, so the sun rising above the mountains was glorious. Toilets were clean, water taps, dustbins and waste disposal for RVs were all well sorted. Took a bit of a drive to get there but the driving was a fun experience too.

Great site with great views

Fabulous site, basic facilities but very well-kept and very clean. You won't get better views. Also, lovely costal path walks. Louise was very helpful and ensured everything is well kept.

Great spot and peaceful

Great spot for an overnight stay. Very peaceful with lovely views. Great walks on the doorstep along the beach or through the fields. Louise is a great host and makes sure you are settled in.

Site's response

Great thanks.

Beautiful site, exceptional views

Found this little gem. The owner was the most helpful lady and guided us to our pitch right next to a wooden seat and table, explained everything to us and recommended a dog walk for our dog. We walked into Haverigg, only a half hour or so walk away. Not a huge site which was good, gated with a code so no undesirables! Thank you so much Louise, we'll return xx

Great, thanks.

The perfect escape

For a quiet park up away from everything, you couldn't ask for better. Situated along the estuary, you're surrounded by water, sand and greenery, the only sounds you'll hear are the walkers going along the path to the beach and the other park visitors. Louise and Lea, the owners, have provided the necessities to make it a great place, with fresh water on tap, a really nice porta loo and the grey water and Elsan disposal points. No fancy shower blocks or electric hook up, but you don't need it. The site is set out with 7 tables, perfect for the barbecue, and the art work around the site is bright and interesting. We spent our time taking walks to the beach just a short walk away and doing several trips into Millom for the local shops, which is accessible along a coastal footpath taking you straight into the town.

Lovely unusual location

Was sent the access code for the gate and toilets at site (so no hassle getting on site). The site owners come down with their dogs to greet us and tell us about the site. The site has an amazing history of iron ore mining and ship breaking. Views were amazing and some lovely walks. All facilities are on site except showers. Toilets are locked porta-loos (code provided) but were impeccably clean and had been decorated with homely décor. Waste point, and clean water points were all clean and accessible. No electric hook ups at time of visit. Definitely recommend a visit to this site.

Tranquil haven with outstanding service

Situated with excellent views overlooking the majestic mountains across the estuary, and boasting a serene beach right at its doorstep, this site is a paradise for nature lovers and those seeking respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The first thing that strikes you upon arrival is the sheer tranquillity that permeates the site. The peaceful ambiance envelops you as you take in the expansive vistas of the estuary and the mountains beyond. It's a place where time seems to slow down, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the beauty of your surroundings. While simple, the amenities provided cater to the essential needs of guests, including portable toilets, waste disposal facilities, and water points. Despite their simplicity, they are well-maintained and ensure a comfortable stay for all visitors. However, what truly sets this caravan site apart is the exceptional hospitality extended by its hostess, Louise. From the moment of our arrival, Louise went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was nothing short of perfect. Her warm and welcoming demeanour instantly made us feel at home, and her dedication to customer satisfaction was evident in every interaction. During our stay, we encountered a minor issue with the gas in our caravan. Without hesitation, Louise tapped into her network to find a solution. She reached out to a friend who is a caravan engineer, seeking advice on how to resolve the issue. Thanks to her help, our problem was swiftly resolved, allowing us to fully enjoy our trip without any disruptions. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat amidst nature or simply looking to unwind and recharge, this site ticks all the boxes. And with Louise at the helm, you can rest assured that your stay will be nothing short of exceptional.

Wow thanks so much for this amazing review. Always happy to help 👍👍 Thanks again, Louise.

Spectacular!

What a site! The most amazing view and a glorious sunrise. The dog and I spent our time out on the beach, we were both in our elements. I was there on my own and was the only van and felt safe. It was lovely chatting with the local dog walkers. Louise is super friendly, it felt like I was staying with friends.

Brilliant, thanks Paul 👍👍

Fantastic pitch

Great place to park up and stay. Fantastic views over the estuary and the dark night sky was great for stargazing, so peaceful and relaxing. On arrival, the owner is very informative and helpful. There are fresh water taps, a toilet emptying facility and a spotless portaloo on site, if needed. Nice walks from here too. We stayed for 2 nights and couldn't fault anything, will definitely be back 👍👍😀

Paradise

Fantastic location, beautiful views of the estuary and fantastic walks. Will defo be returning again and will be recommending to friends, such a lovely informal site where the owner lives in the house but leaves you to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Thank you for sharing your corner of paradise.

Thanks for the great review 👍

Brilliant with good walking from the site

Quiet and relaxing, we were the only ones on (at the most, it only takes 5). Beautiful scenery & great for dog walking as it's on the coastal path. Louise was very welcoming & friendly. She even texted to see if we were okay in the morning as the weather had been extremely windy and wet at night. Even though the weather wasn't great, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Will be back when in the area again. Cheers xx

Lovely, quiet location with amazing views

Had a lovely stay! Louise came to greet us not long after we had arrived. She told us good areas to walk, all about the site and her plans over the next year. Can see this being a very popular site, especially over the summer months with the views. Thank you Louise for such a lovely stay!

Nice secluded location by the beach

We stayed here on our way back home after touring the lakes and what a find it was! Louise was a fantastic host and went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed for a successful stay. The site is right on the water's edge with views to die for, a secluded beach a short walk away and we had the place to ourselves so could pick the best spot to enjoy the location. The facilities were all kept well, the only downside being no electric hook-up or a grey water dumping point, but this was not an issue for us at all. All in all, even during a wet and wild storm overnight, we had a fabulous stay and will definitely be back again.

Thank you for your great review 👍

Lovely little break

Lovely, clean site. The weather wasn't on our side when we booked but we will definitely be coming back on a sunny day as I can imagine the views to be amazing. The best portable loo I've ever seen! So clean and had little lights in for night time trips.

Great, thanks for your review👍

Fantastic stay

This was our 2nd stay here and we will be back. We love how peaceful, welcoming, beautiful views, what more do you want? We even put the van tent up this time and it is fine in the gravel, just need good pegs. My husband enjoyed fishing, which you can do straight in front of your van. The beach is just a 5 min walk away. We had some lovely days out in the villages close by, such as Bootle, Kirksanton. We visited Coniston, Muncaster Castle. If you love great views and walks and history you will love it. Proper camping experience. Louise is extremely helpful.

Fantastic, thanks both of you 👍👍
