Holgates Hollins Farm

Carnforth, Cumbria, England
1 acre hosted by Steven B.

Bookended by the towering Lakeland fells on one side and the boundless blue of Morecombe Bay on the other, it won't surprise you to learn that the neighbouring areas of Arnside and Silverdale form a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The area is, in fact, the UK's smallest. While the wildlife-rich salt marshes, verdant hills and limestone grasslands might not have the epic scale of the iconic National Park to the north, it more than matches it for wow factor. And it is on this unspoilt stretch of the north-west coast that we find the equally impressive Hollins Farm campsite. 

Ok, so admittedly Hollins Farm is a touring park, but not as we know it. Though owned and maintained by Holgates Holiday Parks, it manages to combine best elements of such places (friendly attentive staff and first-rate facilities) with the intimacy and character of a traditional farm site. The farm hosts a menagerie of farmyard friends including goats, ponies, sheep, and a pair of inquisitive moggies – Bladrick and Lenny. Campers can even expect freshly-laid eggs courtesy of Hollins Farm hens every morning (well, willingness permitting at least).    

The gently undulating, well-kempt tent field has space for just 23 lucky pitches. Best of all, guests are free to use the 5-star facilities (including heated swimming pool, sauna, and restaurant) of Holgate's flagship, bells n' whistles site just down the road. Hollins have also just constructed a brand new, stone facilities block housing immaculately clean showers and wash facilities. The toilets even received no higher accolade than the AA's prestigious Loo of the Year 2013 (but you already knew that, right).  

Garlanded khazis aside, there's innumerable great days out to be had in one of England's more overlooked camping areas – whether parading the promenade at Morecombe, teeing off at Silverdale Gold Club, or visiting the famous Carnforth railway station (as featured in A Brief Encounter). However you decide to spend your time, be sure you don't have too brief an encounter with one of one of the north-west's loveliest campsites.
