 This is typical of the Holgate brand, it is a beautifully kept site with immaculate shower facilities. The site is now open for 10 1/2 months of the year, it is located within easy walking distance of Bolton le Sands which is a busy village with good pubs and a really good Indian Restaurant. The Royal Hotel is the nearest pub that we found and they do quite good food and nice surroundings. Sadly the restaurant was closed until March but there was a roaring fire in the bar (also not serving till March) and the staff happily made us a cuppa, the WiFi was working. Walking is really good, the bay is easily accessible from the site. No beach as such that we could find. On the down side, the children's play area is so far away we didn't feel safe leaving them to play unaccompanied, we couldn't fathom the reasoning behind this but it is a big negative if you want to stay with children for any length of time. All in all, this is an excellent site well placed in the doorway to the lakes, it has excellent public transport links as far as Keswick and easy to reach Lancaster, with very regular buses and sited right on the A6 so easy access for the largest of vans.

We stayed at Bay View Holiday Park for 3 nights over the August Bank Holiday weekend with a group of friends and had a brilliant time.
We did have bad weather including a storm on the Saturday night but it didn't spoil our time and we would definitely go back.
Our two children loved it and spent hours playing, our 2 year old loved the cows in the field behind us and the hens that ran free around the park. There wasn't much to do on the site but that wasn't a problem for us.The children's play area is near the entrance of the park and is to far away from where we pitched our tent.
The toilet / shower facilities were so clean and not too far away from our tent.
The bar / restaurant was lovely although we didn't eat in there we had a few drinks.
The shop is small and sells the basics but with Tesco's down the road you couldn't go wrong.
We all had a walk to The Royal which is just outside the park, this pub has a play area which was great for the kids and sky sports which was great for the men (who needed their football fix) and a good bar menu.
We will definitely go back next year

Just returned from site stopped there for a week, me my wife and 6 year old son. Nice clean site plenty of space between pitches, good that each pitch had own water so you didn't have to walk miles for water. Toilets and showers very clean, plenty of sinks in washing up area and plenty of hot water. Didnt go in the bar or restaurant but looked ok, the only downside was to use the pool at their sister site (10 mins drive away) there was a charge of £4. 50 adults and £3. 50 children but if you were on that site there wasn't a charge. Dont be under the impression you are on the beech, there are salt marshes but no sand. Park is along way to let children go on their own.

We've just spent another delightful weekend at Bay view. We were pitched on the new hardstanding area which provided water waste ehu and tv point (we bought a coax cable from the on site shop for 7 pounds )as people have said there is no view of the bay but depending where you are you get a lovely view of the sunset. The pitches are really big and you don't get that closed in feeling.
The showers are fab and spotless (they should be they're all new !) none of that push the button and get 10 seconds nonsense.
We drove to Heysham and found the most amazing walk (with or without dog) if you turn right at the Strawberry Gardens pub and park on the road at the beach. The walk (to the left)takes you around Heysham Head along the not so high cliff tops through Heysham Village (really quaint, pop into the heritage centre - I told the lady there I'd give her a mention on here !) through the church grounds and along to the Heysham docks where there is a fab beach cafe called half moon bay cafe, about 2 miles in total there and back lovely.

Having just returned from this campsite After a two night stay felt I had to share my thoughts on it.
Upon arrival the staff are very friendly taking me to where to pitch with a golf buggy. (I opted for water & electric) lovely field not to close together. The none electric & water pitches looked very steep. As did some of the touring caravan pitches as well.
Bar food ok staff friendly though.
Playground far to far away really no one ever on it. Could do with being moved really closer to the tents caravans etc. But after the walk there it was ok.
Tesco 5 min drive away.
More should be done though to enforce the be quiet after 10pm lots of teenagers screeching past on bikes till all hours. Would I go back probably not as there is not much on the site. I'd probably try their other sites with more to do on site ie swimming.

Just got home from a fabulous weekend at bay view.
Huge immaculate pitches with all facilities on tap.
Spotless toilets and showers with no time limit.
Welcoming helpful staff with a 'i will do it now' attitude made our stay so good that we have just booked a week at their flagship park in silverdale.
Bay view was so good that we are looking forward to finding out what their best site is like.
My mates son asked me to mention that the kids fun is weatherproof at bay view as view gate a great playground but also an indoor amusement arcade with sit down car racing video games and other machines. Just like a mini arcade at a sea side resort. So bring plenty of pound coins.
Overall, we can't fault this park.
Brilliant

We stayed at one of their sister sites Hollins Farm a couple of years ago, and were very happy with our stay so we decided to give Bay View a whirl.
It's fabulous - there is so much space! We've been to plenty of campsites where you really feel like you're crammed in, but Bay View is so spread out we had more space than we knew what to do with. We had electric hook up and our own water supply. Booking in was very welcoming and W
We were asked where we wanted to be pitched - somewhere quiet or near the loos. We asked for loos as we have a 4 year old.
The loos are new and the showers were proper ones, so no pressing of the water button every 30 seconds! It might have been tricky showering our little girl, but as we were only there for the weekend we gave it a miss.
We ventured into the bar on Saturday night and it really is lovely. We were made to feel very welcome.
The play park is a long way from the pitches - but this is something to do with not being able to get planning permission to have it sited nearer to where it should be. Apparently an ongoing battle with the planners. It's such a shame because it's good quality but deserted.
We loved our little visit to Bay View and will definitely be going back.

Just spent the weekend in one of the brand new pods. Decided with the weather to have a little but of a upgrade from our tent and we had a great time. Wardens were lovely very welcoming.
The park itself is great. There is a well stocked reasonably priced shop on park.
The location is very handy with it being right on the A6 and there is a Tesco's only a 5 minute drive away and a pub 2 minutes drive in the other direction (the royal). We decided to eat at their restaurant on the Friday night, which was rather yummy. The menu was nice and simple but great quality.
We had a Chinese from Trungs on the Saturday night which was delicious. I will definitely stay in the pods again.
Watching the campers fold there tents down in the rain on the Sunday Morning made me realise it was definitely worth paying that little bit more.

Planned to only spend 2 nights at this site and then move closer to the lakes, but chose to extend a further 2 nights because it was so good. Liked the friendly chickens that wandered around the caravan.
We have stayed here several times and the level of service remains at the same high standard.
All the staff were friendly and very helpful. All areas were litter free and the showers and toilets were spotlessly clean. The first time we stayed the bar / restaurant had just been built but it still looks brand new.
Stayed on the new super pitch area this time, the road was being laid it was that new. You don’t have a view of the stunning Morecombe Bay in this area, as in some pitches, but there is still a great view of the peaks in the Lake District that is just as good.
Like people have said in the past the signage from the new arrivals area to the reception could be improved, the staff said this is to be done soon I’ll have to see the next time I use the site.
The bar / restaurant weren’t open every day we were there however Carnforth is only a short 15 minute walk away down the peaceful canal. The food and level of service in the restaurant could not be faulted when we did eat there.
The site is a short drive to the well known Morecombe, Lancaster and Kendal.
Will definitely be using this site again

We have just returned from a week at Bay View and thoroughly enjoyed the site and the surrounding area. On arrival at Bay View we walked down to the reception area, booked in and we were escorted on the Wardens golf buggy to our pitch.
The warden guided us into the pitch and was very helpful pointing out were everything was. We were on a super pitch with our own electricity, water and grey waste drain. This was all new to us but we found it very handy.
The toilet and shower blocks were very clean but hard work if showering young children. We ended up showering our 2 year old in the caravan because we struggled in the showers.
Washing machines and tumble driers are on site at an additional charge which we found very useful with two small children
The shop on site had all the essentials stocked and Tesco’s is a 5 minute drive away which was really useful.
We ate in the on site restaurant on one evening, the menu was only small but the food was lovely and the staff very friendly.
We went for a walk down the canal opposite the site, fed the ducks, walked to the Royal Hotel and had a lovely evening meal in there and the children enjoyed playing on the outdoor play area.
We had a few lovely days out with the children at Greenlands Farm Village, crab fishing and sandcastle building on Morecambe front and a day running through the aqua park in Happy Mount Park on the one gloriously sunny day we had.
The play area on site was a bit of a walk from the caravan area but once we got to it the children enjoyed it.
Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely return to Bay View in the future.
