(LA14 3YQ) Barrow-in-Furness - Mawflat Lane

A great spot for the night near Barrow. Good views over to Piel castle. Road quiet through the night. 5G on EE so great if you need internet. Only 4 stars as there was rubbish everywhere, one hedge is completely filled with rusted cans. We did some litter picking as our van was surrounded with discarded kitchen roll and plastic food packaging.

Great night stay. No one around. Its right out the way. Great for a bit of bird watching in the morning

I live very local, stayed here in may. Great spot with flat ground, brilliant views of Piel Island & can get a good sunrise/sunset, plus not far from South Walney Nature reserve (visit to see the seals). This spot is quite popular now, and with no bins people do leave their rubbish, I cleaned up the night I stayed! Good phone signal. Plenty of space and is easy to drive in & out.

Parked up, ate and left. The lay-by has been fly tipped. The bushes were dotted with empty beer cans. There were a couple of other vans parked. One with four camping chairs out. So, it clearly will suit some, but the overall feel wasn’t a safe one.

Stopped here last night, drove past all the spots on walney think this is prob the best. Bit more shelter perhaps with not facing out to sea and nice views. Farmer/caravan site owner drove around a few times on the night and in the morning, I’d say he’s checking for litter and camp fires so keep that in mind.

Great spot, quiet and flat

great secluded parkup very scenic..had to do a litter pick though...great for a couple of nights...4g signal on Three.

Peaceful two nights, nice scenery, good stop over, would stay again for sure.

peaceful night sleep, felt safe

Long narrowing road to the stopover on the left (how did they get the mobile homes to the site further down the road?). Very quiet peaceful night. Beautiful sunset and gloriously dark night sky.

Fantastic spot. Got here around 3pm and set up camp. Had a lovely evening watching the tide go out and the sun setting. Simply beautiful. Well suited for large Motorhome’s, drive in drive out entry exits and plenty of room to find the perfect spot :0)

2 nights of peaceful rest. a bit windy but expected. friendly fishermen who go to the island opposite. if you get to the caravan site you've missed it, look for the big diamond shape gas pipe sign. signal a bit hit and miss. we'd use it again. no litter when we were there but a few pot holes. water and LPG at morrisons nearby.

Very very quite relaxed night. Loads of birds to watch and boats. Plenty of space, take the second entrance as first one gets a bit flooded

Incredible views and lots of birds at all times of the day. Quiet spot where we spent a couple nights. Unfortunately there's evidence of people littering and lighting fires. The sort of spot that will probably become restricted if this behaviour continues.

The sureal eligance of sleeping in a SSSI with a view of the submarine base tickled me. Absolutely glorious. Blessings

Dito all other comments. fully recommend wild camp

View is excellent very quiet .went past it at first and ended up at the nature reserve..back tracked and found it no trouble

Stayed 2 nights. very peaceful, fantastic views. would definitely stay again. no problems parking there.

Lovely view over the bay to the lakes, no passing traffic after dark although gap to road is good and its a dead end anyway so its very minimal

Nice view 1 other van dweller pulled up, no one bothered us, large deep puddle at one end when wet on entry to park spot other entry has minor potholes (better choice) grass and gravel area, exposed to wind but worth(only drawback was viewing what I think was power plant)
