 Visited Seacote during Easter holidays 2011, on arrival we were very pleased as we had a seafront pitch in the lifeboat section which we had booked in December.
Each pitch in that section has hookup and water and the weather was really good so the views were great, it was very busy on the beach area with groups of young teens for some reason, not sure where they all came from as there is nothing for miles around!
I took our 6 year old to the toilets only to find them very dirty, full of muddy water grass and toilet paper, they were not cleaned until day 3 of our holiday which was very disappointing as they really were a disgrace and had run out of toilet paper as well.
The other thing was the distance that the toilet and shower block was from the pitches, too far to walk in the night especially trying to enter the code in the dark, it made taking daughter to the toilet( very regularly ) a pain.
We braved a shower which we didn't look forward to due the dirtiness of the place but there was plenty of hot water and no tokens or money needed. We ordered a takeaway from Ropers after getting a leaflet and menu from reception and was told it would be here in half an hour only for it to arrive 1 and a half hours later, but the food was good and reasonably priced.
I think the site is aimed more at statics but if they cleaned toilets more and had toilets nearer to the pitches then this would be a brilliant place. We left a day before we were due to only because the weather had turned bad. Despite the toilets we would return as the location is great especially if the weather is good.

Stayed here for a day and a night before we started the Coast to Coast walk. This campsite is not cheap however the standard of the site is very high. It's in a great location right on the beach.
The campsite is very well maintained and the toilet/shower block were spacious, warm and clean. Nice flat ground for pitching the tent. St Bees is a lovely coastal village with a nice sea-front cafe close to the campsite.
The campsite itself is only 5 min walk from the train station. Would definitely recommend this campsite - it is worth the money.

This was our first outing in our new tent and I can safely say that we now have the camping bug. This site is excellent and has all the facilities you need. St Bees has an excellent beach only a stones throw away and, yes this is not a Spanish Stone, which has been known to travel many miles!
The site itself has plenty of space for camping and you never felt cramped even when it got busy.
Toilets and showers are clean and tidy with plenty of hot water.
Play park for kids is perfect, however with all the things to do in the area, we hardly used it.
All in all this site is A1 and in a great location to explore the lakes, without being in the tourist central sections around Windermere etc.

I found the whole experience wonderful. The Pitch was situated next to some beautiful views of Fields and hills and you could also see the Sea.
There was Fresh drinking water available and the Toilets are only a short walk away.
The Beach is a Stones throw away and is a great attraction, surrounded by Hills and the Countryside it makes for a Surreal experience.
The Local Shop has plenty to offer and has a Cafe situated within. Make sure you pack what you need as all other amenities are a fair distance away.
On the whole this was a very pleasant and enjoyable experience and I will certainly return.

Went to Seacote for the final days of our Winter tour as we left Scotland. Had a front pitch overlooking the beach with hook and water which was perfect. Beach is amazing and the tide is fast and bracing with the windy weather providing amazing surf!
Took both my dogs who ran absolutely riot around the beach and loved it. My five year old also loved the beach. The Beach Shop and cafe are awful, take all with you that you can. The Post Office in St Bees is ok [has wine, so hey what else is needed?] and is 1/2 a mile away. Did not eat at any of the pubs and never used the toilets as we were self sufficient.
If you want breathtaking views, amazing walks and a wonderful beach then this is the place for you.
Staff were also very friendly.

I agree with the previous writer, a lot of 'dog waste', however it seemed as though the 'visitors' picked up, it was the locals that walked on and could not be bothered. There is a 'Dog Toilet' in the car park, brilliant idea, a small fenced area, sanded, so that dogs can 'pop' in, poop scoop provided too.So no excuse.
St Bees is a lovely place, plenty of walks within the area, superb views, beach and children's play area. The site itself seems to be more biased to statics, we stopped on the sea view hardstandings.Very close to each other, gravel standings rather muddy in places. Although each pitch has water tap and drain. Excellent view of the lifeboat station we spent many hours watching the comings and goings of the boat, and the very brave crew.
There is a gate onto the front from this area. Toilets were not the cleanest, and would certainly not cope, toilets had wash basin and toilet, 2 showers for ladies, make sure you keep clothes out of reach of spray.
Apart from that staff were very helpful and friendly, the views from the sea view pitches are second to none, and we did have a very relaxing break there. One day we may return!

We are new to camping with our motorhome and this was the 2nd site we visited.We thought it was a bit expensive but the view was second to none.The staff were very helpful,about 1min walk from bus stop,but last bus from town was 1.50 pm or you could catch the train.The toilets and showers were very clean,It could do with clean chippings on hard standing area or grass blocks,it would have been rather muddy if you had children with you.Nice and quiet at the waters edge

We've been here 3 times in the last 3 months.
It could be a wonderful site, almost on the beach, lots of places to visit and tremendous views, but no drainage!
The place where our awning should have been on our last visit, was a sea of mud. OK, we expected bad weather, but had field drainage been adequate it would have coped. I suspect there's a bigger problem as the drains beside the water standpipes were slow running away too.
Toilets and showers were perfectly adequate, but their location in the middle of the static caravans?
Every pitch had it's own hookup and standpipe, a definite plus, but bear in mind the slow drainage under the stand pipes.

We were new to camping and I was really excited. I decided on the Lake District and specifically Seacote because of the facilities it claimed to have, however when we arrived we were disappointed to discover the facilities were actually not on site the park was a fair way from the camping field actually outside of Seacote Holiday Park, and the pub/restaurant was way over the otherside of the carpark outside Seacote.
The field was on a slope which if it was well drained would be ok, we were sinking through the mud and it was seeping through our tent by the end of the week. The field itself is accessed by a rickety old bridge which has all sorts of rubbish thrown underneath it.
I would never return and think it is a camp catered for mainly for statics and tourers.

The site was very busy for the earlier part of Spring Bank week, and the sanitary facilities were just not adequate. They were not clean enough, there are insufficient cubicles, and they are too far from the field of the people (tenters) who need them. There are no on site shopping facilities.
The site seems expensive, in view of the above, at £21 per night for a pitch with hook up and water.
A shame because the area is interesting and attractive, with good walking and other visitor attractions within 1/2 hour. There are some lovely down-loadable walks available from the St. Bees website. The locals were friendly and helpful.
A few on-the-spot litter fines might be in order as the beach area was a disgrace at the end of the day. There's no shortage of litter bins.
The pubs in St Bees are fine, with the beer garden at The Queen's especially pleasant with good food. The Seacote Hotel by the beach needs a fettle.
I would advise you to take all your requirements because the supermarkets are a good drive away in Whitehaven or Egremont. The harbour area in Whitehaven has benefited from millennium money and is a real attraction.
