  • Peaceful Lancashire farm site with sea views in a National Landscape
  • A 40-minute drive from The World of Beatrix Potter in Windermere
  • Coffee and croissants sold in the morning; Morecambe 20 minutes' drive
Scar Close Camping and Glamping is a peaceful site set in the grounds of a 36-acre old hobby farm in the Arnside and Silverdale Area National Landscape. The surrounding landscape is made up of sloping hills, grassland and woodland, and the coast is within easy reach (20 minutes’ drive) – you can see the waters of Morecambe Bay from the site, which sits at the foot of Warton Crag, a prominent limestone hill and the highest point in Arnside and Silverdale. Guest facilities at this spacious rural spot include serviced toilet cubicles and basic showers. Coffee and croissants are available to buy in the morning, and there is plentiful parking, too (with an alternative area off the grass in the event of wet weather). The owners recommend bringing a bucket or bowl for washing up, as well as a torch – it can get very dark in this part of northern Lancashire at night. (But that translates into excellent stargazing, so no one is complaining…) Geared towards families, laidback Scar Close also welcomes well-behaved pets (who should be on leads and carefully supervised at all times). While you can’t build an open fire, a ready-made traditional stone firepit is available for evening cook-outs, and barbecues are welcome as long as they’re not placed directly on the ground or picnic benches. The small village of Warton is about a mile down the road and has a brewery, pub and post office.

What customers say

Stunning Morecambe Bay views & super friendly owners! Immaculate, modern facilities and a popular coffee/croissant van. Some pitches are windy/sloped, but overall, a highly recommended spot for its cleanliness, peace, and beauty.

Bell tent (basic)

Liked What a fabulous campsite. Clean, tidy and beautiful location. The owners are lovely people and this is probably the friendliest campsite we have ever been to. Will definitely return. The basic bell tent was a decent size and included some floor mats to sleep on. The luxury tents are slightly bigger with proper beds inside. The owners dogs are lovely (Red and Zeus) and they made the trip extra special.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Quiet location with spectacular scenery.
Good local amenities nearby and the showers/toilets are truly excellent; I have literally stayed in 4* hotels that don’t have ablutions of this cleanliness and quality.
The stall selling hot drinks and light breakfast each morning were really appreciated.

Josh R.

Bell tent (basic)

Liked The owners are really nice and very helpful. They had a chat with us about the horses and other animals when we were having a walk about the site.
The shower block is one of the nicest I have ever seen on a campsite and definitely the nicest I've seen on a privately run site such as this.
The price of £60 to stay the night in a pre erected bell tent was a great price.
100% would recommend and have already done so to friends and family.
Thanks for a great stay.

Local attractions

In addition to elegant interiors and expansive parkland, Leighton Hall Estate (10 minutes’ drive) runs a lively programme of events, which includes falconry displays, plant fairs and craft markets. A little further up the road, the wetlands of RSPB Leighton Moss are home to egrets, harriers and red deer. Take a stroll along the wide promenade that hugs the bay at Morecambe (25 minutes), stopping for a selfie next to the statue of British comedian Eric Morecambe. Close to the seafront, there are also a bowling alley, a trampoline park and a skatepark, so the kids should have plenty to keep them occupied while you take a tour of the Morecambe Winter Gardens theatre (Easter–October). On the banks of Lake Windermere, the World of Beatrix Potter Attraction (40 minutes) recreates the fictional universe of beloved characters like Peter Rabbit and Jemima Puddle-Duck. After that, you can cross the lake and visit National Trust - Hill Top (50 minutes), the cottage where the children’s author lived and worked.
