  • Top-notch family holiday park on the edge of Silloth
  • Close to the Galloway Hills and Lake District National Park
  • Indoor pool, restaurant-bar and busy activity/entertainment programme
Off to explore the Lake District, the Scottish Borders or Hadrian's Wall – and want to stay at a holiday park with heaps to do on site for when you’re not out and about? Nearby Solway Holiday Park should fit the bill, as it's had several million pounds on updating its leisure facilities to make this 130-acre holiday park a highly sought-after place to stay on the stunning Solway Firth coast. It’s also located within walking distance of the Victorian seaside town of Silloth, in a handy spot for all sorts of outings on both sides of the England/Scotland border. That mix means you can really tailor your holiday to your own tastes, whether you’re planning to explore the scenery of the Lake District National Park and Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, hit the beach or focus your attentions on the activities available on site (or some combination of all of the above…) And those activities… well, there are lots and lots of them to fill your time with. The indoor pool, sports field and games arcade might be a place to start (all of these being free to use) while you consider which of the other activities you might like to join in with. Might it be aqua games, teddy bear hunts or pirates and princesses adventures for the younger kids, or archery, zorbing, axe throwing and bird of prey experiences for older guests? Head over to reception to find out the options and put your schedule together. It’s really worth finding some time for the entertainment too – there’s a packed programme of all sorts from kids’ shows through karaoke and bingo to live music from top-notch performers. Of course, all the practicalities are covered here too – the site has a launderette, a mini market and a restaurant/bar that’s open through the day for breakfasts, lunches, dinners and drinks.

What customers say

Great for families with lots to do, clean facilities (new toilets praised!), friendly staff. Pool, arcades, and food popular. Some found pitches muddy after rain & had noise issues. Renovations underway suggest future upgrades.

Liked Ok park to camp on, basic camp as camping your further away from activities, club house, park and other areas.

Disliked If you’re willing to travel every where then this is the camp for you! Everything you have to travel miles to get to.
Pitches are very well used so lots of w
holes and big dips in the ground. The toilets are ok but could be cleaner. When we stopped a man was cleaning the girls toilets at 7am which ment we couldn’t use them for around half hour which with children was difficult. The showers are ridiculous, there is no where to hang your cloths or get changed. Very small especially if you trying to wash children.

Chanelle E.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Modern bathroom

Lots of different activities for kids

Feeling like you were on a caravan holiday park instead of just a camp site

Free swimming everyday

Disliked The camp site was more like entering a council estate where people are up making noise till god knows what time (after midnight) with their kids screaming and messing on. Doesn’t seem to be any camp respect for others at night or security around the camp site bit.

Entertainment on a night was more for little little kids and terrible

Although the pizza from the van was nice, I was told it was 12” for 14 pound… it was overpriced and half the size

Activities are expensive

Recommend to friends Visit again

Liked The site was well organised, the staff were helpful and friendly, the facilities were clean and tidy and well maintained, and the Dino Carts were great fun and good value for the price. The fish and chips from the Fishbox were good value and tasty.

Disliked The activities were expensive, the pitches were not checked after previous occupants had left resulting in the dogs trying to eat what had been left behind.

Liked Facilities, activities for kids, restaurant food was delicious, nice walks along the promenade, weather was perfect (for a change), friendly & helpful staff, football on the big screen. Loved that I could take my dog into the arcade too to watch the footy. Live music outside was a bonus. My son loved the laser tag

Disliked No supermarket for miles and miles. There is only the on site nisa or a small local co-op which didn’t stock much.
My son done the zorbing but there was only one other child so seemed a bit silly having it on for two kids when it’s meant to include games etc. he enjoyed it but would have been a lot better if there was more.
Noisy neighbour watching friends on full volume well after midnight. I think every tent could hear word for word. I love friends but not when I’m shattered. Thankfully they only done it once. It was usually pretty quiet once 11pm hit, with the exception of a car alarm and a few dogs barking.
Pitch was completely shaded and didn’t get any of the gorgeous sun. I did ask for a pitch that wouldn’t get flooded so probs my own fault being given under the huge trees but that was before seeing the fab weather forecast. I should have asked for a different pitch on arrival. Never mind!

Liked We had a great time and wish we’d booked for longer! There was so much to do for the kids and adults alike. The resort was well laid out and we had everything we needed close to hand (camping).
Entertainment was great and my daughter absolutely loved it!
A special mention to the guy maintaining the arcades (wish I got his name) as he was amazing. Had to ask for his help twice and both times he was so friendly. It’s things like this that make a good resort great… the staff! Couldn’t fault it and will definitely be booking again but for longer!

Liked The entertainment was brilliant, the staff were very helpful, food was lovely!

Disliked There wasn’t much to dislike, would have been nicer if there were perhaps more baby friendly facilities instead of a stand alone changer. Or maybe some extra space or hooks in the showers

Easy book in process, grass pitches were decent, clean toilets.

Powered grass campsite

Liked The campsite was good, we would return. We camped on an electric hook up and the pitches were flat.

Toilets were cleaned regularly.

Great swimming is included in price and other bits going on for the kids.

Disliked Showers became blocked and lots of water from multiple showers built up at feet.

Could do with another washroom for washing dishes. Only 2 sinks and often had to queue.

Kids club definitely needs air con!

Local attractions

On the English side of the Firth, Solway guests can reach the north-western lakes of the Lake District National Park, day trips to Carlisle and the hills and stargazing of Northumberland National Park. On the Scottish side, you could hike the Galloway Hills, run away to Gretna or drive further afield to urban days out at Edinburgh or Glasgow. (To see it all at once, take a trip to championship Solway Golf Course where you can tee around to views of the Lakeland Fells, Galloway Hills and across to the Isle of Man.) Moseying towards Northumberland (stop off at Carlisle Castle and The Lanes shopping centre on the way), friends, Romans and countrymen can walk as much of the Hadrian’s Wall Path as they can manage: it’s the north of England’s most visited tourist attraction and most of it runs along the Solway Firth on its way to Northumberland. Happily for such a family-centred site, kiddish fun is all around Solway Holiday Park too: farm park Orton Grange, getting open-mouthed at the fish and other inhabitants at Lake District Coast Aquarium, or going on a hop around award-winning World of Beatrix Potter.
