Thank you for your review. See you soon :-)

Great stay

Had a very nice break at Harbour Lights, the facilities were immaculate and the staff very friendly and helpful. They were above and beyond (along with local population) in helping to reunite me with my dog who went missing in action one evening… The site is well placed for coastal walks and for venturing further inland to visit the Lakes etc.

Beautiful

Very friendly people, will definitely be back - loved it.

Gorgeous and spotless

Such a little haven of loveliness. Site is in a gorgeous, quiet place with stunning views and a lovely little beach just across the road. Dainty café with luscious hot drinks and tasty cakes, biscuits and ice cream with really friendly staff. Showers were perfect, will be back. Thank you for a lovely weekend.

Great, fuss free stay

Lovely staff, easily upgraded to powered site at check in. Quiet and safe area, can walk to a number of pubs. Bathrooms were quite a highlight with the heated towel rails! Everything clean, stocked and in working order. Would definitely recommend.

Our stay

I'm being harsh here but the site is okay, it's in a good location but for some reason, the postcode we originally used was for a local supermarket. We eventually found the site and set up. The only problem was that the roads on site are made from a dark grey type of powdered stone which, when wet, got transferred into our motorhome and the site's shower block making them look dirty which they were not. I know it would be very expensive but tarmac roads and pitches would easily move it up to nearly a 5 star rating.

Site's response

Thank you for your review and points raised. Regarding the postcode, we were allocated this by Royal Mail and it has been updated via google maps and is correct on the royal mail site and also google maps, but there has been an issue with Apple Maps which has caused problems. We are looking at tarmacking for the road through the site and hope this will be done in the not too distant future. We are constantly trying to improve the site and obviously this is ongoing. We appreciate constructive criticism so thank you for your time and we hope you will come back

Brilliant place!

We had the best time here, sad to be leaving today. We will definitely be returning, facilities are great! Very clean and friendly site. All you need is there.

Pleasant stay despite storm Babette

Nice site well kept, friendly staff and great ice cream to boot. Many thanks.

Wet, windy and remote

The site was quite remote with very little in the way of local amenities. The only local take away is the chippy, which is a short walk away. Apart from the seafront, any sightseeing is a bit of a drive away. The site is full of potholes and some pitches flooded overnight, had to navigate them going to the loo overnight. Felt they needed to fill the holes and improve drainage.

Disappointed

The site is run very well. Unfortunately we were there in a very wet weather spell. This resulted in large puddles. Of course you can't predict the rain but the potholes on site could be attended to. The facilities looked good. The staff were very helpful and friendly, it just didn't meet our expectations. The access road, which isn't the responsibility of the site, was so full of deep potholes. It's all about first impressions. We just didn't enjoy our stay.

Great for dogs

As a couple with more than 2 dogs, this was a great site. Lovely walks, nice clean facilities and a good size pitch. Lovely beach and a nice walk around the nature reserve with a bar that was happy to allow dogs.

Harbour Lights stay

We found the site a very clean, spacious place for our motorhome. Lovely receptionist- Jacqueline who was very kind and helpful to us. The surrounding area is very picturesque. Beautiful walks along the beach.

Thank you for your review, which is very much appreciated. I am so happy you enjoyed your stay - Jacqueline

Solid campsite

Solid campsite. Maybe having a more sociable area for darts and pool etc would be a nice improvement to Harbour Lights. We had to drive an hour in order to play pool and go to a sports bar.

Lovely campsite

I am new to campsites so don't really know what to expect. Having just done the Nc500, I stayed at several sites in Scotland and they have all been great. Harbour Lights is a lovely site with great facilities and lovely and clean. Location right next to the beach and great for dog walking. Only stayed one night on way home.

Good campsite and basic essential services

Location amazing to be so close to beach and harbour. So sad it poured the whole time but a peaceful campsite. Lots of room and very dog friendly 🦮 Will come back for sure.

Sat nav

Followed sat nav, which takes you to middle of Haverigg, then blindly went down a pothole ridden road. Due to signs for another site, the Harbour Lights sign was hidden around a corner in a hedgerow. The site itself is kept clean and tidy and staff very friendly and helpful. New shower block was very nice. Ski Bar and water sports centre 5 min walk and well worth a visit. Only three minor criticisms. Only one waste water and toilet emptying facility, so in busy times expect to queue. The pot wash area was not covered so if it rains, expect to get wet, and roads around the site are full of small potholes. Having said that, if you were to ask me if I would go here again, without hesitation, I would say yes.

Amazing

Absolutely gorgeous place! Located very close to the beach. The park itself was very clean and well maintained. The staff were amazing and friendly and couldn't do enough to keep everyone happy. Will definitely be returning!

Good location but otherwise disappointed

Nice location near the beach. Based off the other good reviews we were disappointed. The two times I tried the showers, once was cold (there were signs to point this out) and once there was no water whatsoever. The toilets were consistently littered and dirty (floors especially). I understand this is down to how other guests leave them, which is difficult to manage, but it was a theme throughout. Not much help at check in. Noisy at night - I tried the out of hours number but no answer. No sign of the night security that was mentioned. Lots of noisy guests swearing and drinking until late. The site was very busy due to the hot weather which could be a mitigating factor, but I don't think they should accept that many bookings if they are not staffed to provide cleaning and security as advertised. Maybe fine if you are friends looking to stay up socialising, but no good with small children or if you are looking for peace and tranquillity.

Tidy site

Tidy site. Poor water pressure at the wash basin. Radiators on when the temperature outside was 26 degrees. Felt more sweaty after shower than before. Windows would not open. Pleasant pub nearby. Water activities good. Beach walk poor.

Great site

First time camping. This site had lovely, clean facilities and an ice cream café/shop. Beautiful views and close to the beach. Will be returning in the future for sure 🙂

Lovely site

Lovely site, very small town. Facilities great, shower rooms and extra toilets. Laundry, pot wash area. Well looked after site.

Perfect break away

We stayed for three nights and wished we had booked for longer. Lovely site, friendly, helpful staff, clean facilities and just next to the beach, perfect!

The ladies in reception were both so lovely and friendly

This is a lovely campsite! The ladies in reception were so lovely & friendly. Coming round on an evening before leaving (I'm assuming - before security came on) to make sure we had everything before she locked up, enough logs etc. It was lovely! Great shower rooms, just a shame the floors were filthy from the mud. It made showering a little harder with small children keeping them and their clean clothes off the floor. Maybe some kind of squeegee mop wouldn't go a miss in the shower rooms so people could clean the floors after themselves. Close to a great quiet beach too and beautiful views. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Highly recommend

Lovely caravan park, had a great stay. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to be close to the Lake District.

Great site

Staff were great, very helpful and polite. Facilities were great, very clean - cleaned 3 times a day. The restaurant and bar was good, staff very nice and food was amazing.
