Harbour Lights Reviews

4 lovely nights

Lovely little site and friendly staff. The homemade ice cream is amazing. Not much to do but does have water sports nearby. The ski bar food was great. Our dog loved it here.

A wonderful site, very tidy and the showers are superb

Lovely site, showers were superb with a large wet room with heated towel rails. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this site....right close to the pet-friendly beach too.

Our stay

We stayed here for 2 nights with another couple. We're all between 22-26 years old and we 100% would recommend to anyone families or single couples. Really family friendly and dog friendly. The site is in a beautiful location and stunning views all around, the washing/toilet facilities where stunning and very, very clean. Would recommend anyone to stay.

Site's response

Thank you for your review. We are so pleased you had a great time and we hope you will return in the not too distant future

Our stay

Clean and well maintained facilities, staff professional, especially when we had a problem with noise, dealt with properly. Our only concern was lack an apparent lack of security, there seemed a lot of vehicles coming onto the site and not staying any length of time Will we return, definitely.

Millom camp

Great little campsite with all the basic facilities you need, plus coffee and an ice cream shop. Camp right on the beach. Great for dog walks. Local shops are a 5 minute walk.

Very nice stay

Almost everything was fine. Spacious pitches, calm environment, clean facilities...but I don't understand why the heating in the bathrooms has to run on max and waste has to be carried to the next village to be sorted- I am sure this could be fixed quickly.

Very pleasant stay

Our first stay on a campsite. Friendly lady in reception. Clean campsite and shower block. Lovely ice creams. The Ski Bar is not far away and does food and drink. Felt very safe.

Nice site with pleasant staff

Nice site, pleasant staff and amazing new shower wet rooms. Felt the site could do with more water points, waste disposal points, recycling bins and dog poo bins. The ski bar next door is nice, dog friendly but a little pricey. Village leaves a bit to be desired.

Nice and quiet site

I would recommend the park for a weekend stay. The only problem is the dust from the road and how far the toilets are, they need to have disabled bays near to the toilet block and showers. Otherwise a nice relaxing sit, would stay again.

Pleasant site on western side of the lakes

After initial problems with the electric hook up, we had a pleasant stay. The lady in reception was very helpful. We would like to see more water points around the site, as it is quite a distance pulling a full water carrier and wastewater.

Great weekend getaway

Tidy toilet facilities.

Everything you need

The site is great. Staff are friendly and check-in was really efficient. A definite highlight is the homemade gelato shop onsite which was absolutely brilliant (we ate there every day!) The site is pretty big and there was plenty of space for us while we were there. Two main things that detracted was the local area, which was a little run down (but a great fish and chip shop nearby!) and the shower block. Although the shower block looks really new, the interior walls look to be melamine, which I can understand from a wipe-clean perspective. However, they are starting to bow and bulge, suggesting that they are suffering from rising damp as the sealant around the bottom of the walls was fairly mouldy. Otherwise though, the shower block was warm, and cleaned well every day by the onsite staff and I had no issues with using the facilities with great pressure and temperatures in the showers.

Lakes

The park was nice, but very noisy for the 2 pods next to us - a group of girls were up very late.

Site's response

We are sorry for the noise of the pod pitches, but we had moved you to the empty pod pitch as a favour so you were close to your friends in the big pod. We do try our best to keep noise down.

Review

Water pressure was really bad in the showers and for me, there were no proper kitchen facilities.

Good facilities

Great facilities - clean and functional shower block. Hairdryer available in ladies loo. Reception sold fire wood. Ice cream parlour on site. Quick walk to water sports centre and bar which had a full range of drinks and good food options. We booked an all weather pitch which was waterlogged and had potholes - not exactly the site's fault that there had been rain, but I think this could have been better maintained to avoid the deep puddles.

Great place

We loved staying at Harbour Lights campsite. It was a short family break for us. The place is peaceful and quiet and the kids have a lot of fun. It's feels safe going with young children; friendly staff, you can have nice walks, beautiful views, and luckily the weather it was good the time we spent here. We will definitely come back and we highly recommend this place.

Peace and tranquility

Nice clean campsite, fabulous showers and toilets cleaned regularly. Could do with a sign for directions and could do with re tarmacking the roads in and out.

Peaceful and well maintained. Great welcome.

We picked this site to try out our new van, and achieved that aim. We had a gravel hardstanding for our van and adjacent grass for the drive-away awning. Lots of rain, but the site remained dry and usable. Excellent shower block with ten shower/toilet/wash basin rooms. Haverigg/ Millom is a place for beach walks not high life, but that was what we wanted on this trip. Great welcome.

Harbour Lights

It is a nice park with well laid out pitches. We didn't have any children with us but I wouldn't recommend for children as there is nothing on site for them, although the beach is nice and close. Only one toilet/shower block so if you were on the edge of the site like us it was a fair distance away. Grass areas got very waterlogged.

Lovely campsite

Lovely campsite, very nice shower and toilet facilities. Perfect.

First night away in new camper van

First night away in our new camper van and so glad we picked this site. Location was great as we have a dog and it’s right beside the beach. Shower/toilet block were kept clean and useable. Didn’t use any other of facilities so can’t comment but would recommend this site and we will more than likely be back.

Very nice people

Lovely park for our first outing in a motorhome, turned up late and they were still happy to let us in. We also had issues with tripping the power and they offered for us to stay longer in the day to charge.

Really accommodating

The toilet facilities and showers were so clean. The shower was really warm. The host was very friendly and sorted our pitch as the rain was terrible. They sorted us a safe pitch. Would definitely recommend.

Fab, quiet Christmas get away!

Well maintained site and facilities. Plenty of space between pitches. Fab location.

Stones throw from a beautiful beach!

Located in a beautiful part of the Cumbrian coast, the beach did not disappoint. Great for dog walking. Excellent opportunities for twitchers to spot many species of sea birds. Also, fantastic photography opportunities. Fantastic family washroom facilities. There is a great little ice-cream parlour too. Downside, the main lane leading to the site was closed as work was being carried out and so the only access to it was down a lane full of very deep pot holes, which wasn't great. On site there are only two drinking water points located together (but sinks provide fresh drinking water), I was unable to find the recycling facilities and there was no WiFi. Reception wasn't open when we arrived at 12pm and so had to ring the number on the door and we were then attended to in a timely manner. All that said, it is set in a stunning location and has fantastic family washrooms which is great for families with young children. We would definitely recommend and will be returning.
