 We stayed here for 2 nights 2nd-4th may bank holiday weekend.The tent field is on a slope but not a problem. The site is right next to the beach which has rock pools to the right which can keep kids(and my girlfriend) busy for hours.
The site has good showers with plenty of hot water but the toilets in the gents were disgusting it seems as if people were using the to empty there chemical toilets in! I think this is because of the signs were not very prominent they were like this from Saturday till we left on Monday we told reception they apologized for the state we had found them and said they are cleaned in the morning and evening but it didn't look like it. My girlfriend said The ladies toilets were better and were very warm as the radiators were on in there
There are some leaflets in reception get the one for Rokers chippy its about 4miles away towards Whitehaven well worth the trip they do fish and chips kebabs burgers lots of choice there's also an Indian & chinese takeaway and and off license for essentials or if you carry on the main road to Whitehaven you'll find a netto aldi and Iceland
The only thing stopping us going back is the toilets but if you've got a tourer and porta loo you wont need them nearly forgot the toilets are some distance from the tents which if you need to go in the middle of the night could be a problem or just take a bucket!

We decided to have our Easter Break here at Seacotes St Bees. We arrived on the Thursday. Weather was awful. We had pitch number 4. Front view. Amazing position. Hardstanding with electric and water hook up.
Good Friday weather mixed, but Easter Saturday, Sunday and Monday weather was amazing.
We sat outside our caravan. Barbie going, just chilling, watching peaople on the beach, jet skiers, and walkers taking advantage of the coastal walk that starts from the beach. Lovely.
The showers were not the best. If this had been my first visit as a camper. It would have put me off for life. !
I can put up with most things as long as they are clean. !
There is a hotel in walking distance from the campsite and they serve pub meals. We ate there thursday evening. Not bad. They have a lounge with a singer on three times a week and a games room with two pool tables and satellite tv.
It also has a beer garden that could do with some new tables and chairs for sitting out on.
In St Bees there are three pubs. About a 15 min walk down from the campsite. Maybe 20-25 back. A lovely walk. But recovering from a broken ankle meant we had to take the car. A small car park at the bottom of the main street and then it was a two minute walk to the pubs.
We ate at one of them on Good Friday. The Queens Head. Excellent. Loved it. And very reasonable.
As I said Saturday, Sunday and Monday we barbequed. And loved every minute of it.
We loved the position of this site and it was very busy with locals coming for the day with their families and dogs. There is a playground for the children and when the tide goes out it is great for crabbing in the rock pools.
We would return.

This was my second stay here and both times I opted to book into one of the sites own static caravans.
The site is brilliantly located for the beach, as it's right next door. It's a really quiet site and there are pitches for tents/caravans/motorhomes with facilities which I didn't use.
There are some great walks and it's really dog-friendly place which is why I picked it and a return visitor. The walks range in ability and time and you can download some walk routes from the St Bees village website and some take you on the start of the coast to coast walk.
When the sea is out the beach is really wide and is very popular with dog-walkers, horses and anyone who fancies exploring. The beach is a misture of sand, pebbles and some rock-pools where kids can explore.
The village is about 7 minutes walk away with a choice of pubs and shops as well as a regular train. You can catch the bus into Whitehaven from the carpark near the site and they run regularly and I would recommended venturing out on public transport as it takes you through scenery you may not see in the car.
The statics are very clean with everything you need, they even include bedding if you need it.
I liked it so much that I'm thinking about a third visit.

Stayed for 2 nights on the way home from Scotland - mixed review really. Fantastic location. Pitched practically on the beach as we had a small unit with no awning etc. Views are stunning. £20/night with hook up.
Toilet block is average and in the middle of the static site. Pitches were large with plenty of space in between.
No real facilities on site - The pub; shop etc are not on the site but a couple of minutes walk away. Hotel where the bar is was very tired looking and very quiet. Bar food was OK. Entertainment on Thursday night was alright - a local singer - but I think that the majority of customers were on a coach trip to the hotel and not there through choice!
Some very pretty areas around and about but if the weather was good I don't think you would be able to move any children off the fantastic beach!
Whitehaven is a bit run down but has all you need with regard to shops; fuel etc.

Stayed here for one night at the beginning of easter. The site was large and well kept. Toilet blocks were clean and well maintained with hairdryers available at reception if needed. There was only one toilet block and staying in a tent we were on the back field past the caravans and static's which was quite a trek in a morning!
The beach was a 5minute walk and was lovely and plenty of walks in the area. St bees was a quaint village and offered the local shop etc, whilst whitehaven was the nearest town that had all you would need.
All in all the site was nice but not really catered for tents?

Had long weekend here - caravan great and practically on the beach. Area is exceptionally quiet and nearest pub closed due to non-payment of electricity so ended up staying in at night-time at weekend! Don't think we could stay more that a few days as nothing really to do, no entertainment on site just sightseeing and walking so too quiet for us. Enjoyed break though.

I like it here, The toilet block was very clean when we were there, the weather was glorious for 2 weeks, and when it rains! you leave before you get swept in the sea As I had pitched at the bottom of the road, my self, granddaughter and dog got drenched and had to stop and change clothes on layby on A66.
The owners of the site were very good to us, when I was out walking with the dog and my granddaughter locked the key in the motorhome, they gave us a cup of tea and let us wait for the AA. Shops, I tend to shop at Tesco in Whitehaven as it seemed to be very convenient, also for diesel. It is an ideal location for children, playing on the grass, rockpools, walking along the headland and walking into St Bees itself. Dodge the dog also loved playing on the beach and being taken walkes on the lead. Cumbria when you get good weather seems the ideal place to be.

I have stayed at this site on numerous occasions over the years, in everything from a static to a tent. It has a great location which is the reason it does so well
The site has greatly expanded over the years, I bet the owner is raking it in! It doesn't actually have a pub or a shop or a play park! These are owned by the local council and two families although they are made to look as though the site owns them in the brochure! It even states there's a local pool which is in fact St Bees Schools pool!
Any how the toilets are a great distance from the tent site and both touring sites, they have been in that position for years and just been renovated when it would have probably been better to build some more, nearer to the touring and tent pitches. Trying to put the code in when its dark and you are desperate is no easy task!
The beach and the location is lovely though and the site is clean and tidy. Its great when the sun is out and Hartley's ice cream from the beach shop is a local speciality,.
The site is a good base for touring the lakes as well. I will be returning as I only live a few mile away but when you're in your caravan in the sun it feels like you're at the other end of the country!

A great site in a great area. If you go without an awning you have the chance to park on the seawall facing the sea, otherwise you go in the tourer (Tomlin) Field. Water & Hook-up to every pitch. I found the pub to my liking, near enough to walk to but far enough away to stop any sound travelling to site. The nearest newsagents is the Post Office in the village, a nice walk for the fit. The entrance to the toilets looked a bit tired but in the main the facilities were fine. Would definitely go back (the wife's son only lives 4 mile away so I suppose I'll have to).

Just got back from a weekend in St Bees after swiftly changing plans from the East coast to the West coast. (Severe weather warning for Norfolk - didn't fancy it!) Stopped in the tent field with no hook up for two nights. Was a bit miffed that we had to pay extra because we have a large Vango 900, anything over 6 berth incurs an extra charge. I thought this was a bit steep when the tent site is simply a field and was far from booked up.
Camp site is nicely laid out, majority of area is statics, one tent field and one touring field from the look of it. Toilets generally clean, although the gents had no electricity all weekend, so no shaving and lots of tripping up after dark! (Word of warning girls, no electric points in the toilets/showers so there's no opportunity for driers or GHDs. Trauma!)
Beach is right on doorstep, great rock pools and shallow sea so perfect for our 6 and 9 year old although a sudden outbreak of jellyfish had them running back to shore.
There's a beachshop/cafe at the other end of the beach which was basic. A truly awful pub which looks as if it's in the process of being renovated, at least I hope it is. Went once and decided not to venture inside. All in all I would say it was a good place for tenters for a weekend but I don't think there are sufficient facilities nearby to survive a week.
