 Superb site. Wonderful facilities. Cant wait to go again.
The midweek discount for OAPs is very welcome in these hard times
This site has all you could ask, lovely walks, we even spotted two deer in the woods near the river, plus loads of birds.
All the very best

Our first trip out as 'caravanners' so we picked this site as it was within 30mins travelling from home and the reviews showed it to be a small and quiet site (not to many people to watch us setting up!)
Although people have mentioned in other reviews the narrow bridge, we had no trouble going either way with our 27ft van!
On arrival we were shown to our pitch, all pitches had beautiful views over Pendle Hill.
The owners were very kind in asking if there was anything we needed.
The toilet/shower block was clean and well kept and the site nicely maintained. There's a lovely short dog walk on site and plenty of open countryside surrounding.
We had family visiting us through the day who were made to feel welcome.
We all went up to The Bayley Arms at Hurst Green who were very accommodating of 10 adults and 5 kids and the food was superb!
Will definitely return!

A lovely location - great views of the surrounding hills and run by a friendly and helpful couple with a lot of experience of camping themselves. The site is well spaced/ organised and there is a programme of continuous improvement with planting of shrubs and enhancement to the facilities. It was very cold weather but the toilet/shower facilities were warm and well equipped. Ribchester the nearby historic town is a 20 minute downhill walk or quick 2 minute bus ride back up. Ribchester offers 3 pubs and a walking trail to follow!
It was our first real outing in the motorhome and it was an enjoyable all round experience.

Just return from a 3 night stay at this caravan park and what pleasure it was to stop at such rural site without been isolated. The site is spick and spam and as I been here a few times the owner always seem to make alterations and its getting better all the time, four new hardstands being constructed. New tile floor in the ladies a new length of a lovely timber fence, and from what I gather a solar panel on the roof of the toilet block, extra trees planted and the grass always close cropped. The toilet block is always spotless with showers and toilets and wash hand basins. Water points very close, and elsan point and bins also close by and fire points here and there and all the hardstanding is level and spacious with ehu to every one. The views over Pendal hill is fantastic. Ribchester is walking distance with pubs and shops and Longridge is five minutes drive by car. If anyone is looking for a nice quiet decent site which is rural without been isolated try this one you wont be disappointed its a little gem

Just returned from a very enoyable weekend away at Dale Hey Farm. There were 7 families all with caravans and we all had a great time.
The site is very well laid out and all pitches are on hardstanding. The showers and toilets are really nice and large each has their own sink and a chair, there's plenty of room if you have young children.
This site is within walking distance of Ribchester which has a great kids park and local pubs are friendly and allow dogs and children. The views are stunning over the Ribble Valley.
The owners are very friendly and make you welcome, they are making this site into a top site and they are continuously looking for ways to improve it and work is ongoing with its expansion.
I would recommend this site to anyone who is looking for a good location and relaxing break away, yet close to lovely villages in the Ribble Valley.
We will be returning to this lovely site in the not too distant future as they only close for a short period and reopen again in Dec for the year.

Visited site for the first time over the weekend and it lived up to expectations. It is quite easy to spot on the left as you approach Ribchester from Longridge.
The owner is attentive when you arrive. She prefers you to pay cash but at £12 per night it was excellent value. The site is well laid out and although part is on a slope the touring caravan pitches are level.
The toilet block was kept very clean and tidy with a good supply of toilet rolls and handwash is provided. The showers are the push button type but the water is hot and the pressure is good. The gents had two WCs' and two showers and two wash basins (WHB) which seemed entirely adequate as there were never any queues.
I understand that the ladies have individual rooms with shower, WC and (WHB) There is no potwash facility at the moment although one appears to be under construction.
There are a number of different small walks into a wooded area accessed from the touring field which are ideal for those with dogs. The site does not have a shop (although Catherine was selling fresh plums) but there is a Spar in Ribchester a twenty minute walk away and Sainsburys in Longridge (with a cashpoint) a ten minute drive.
The site does not have a designated child play area but the children we saw had plenty of space to run and enjoyed themselves.
There are open views across the ribble Valley to Pendle Hill and Longridge fell can just be seen in the other direction. There are places of interest in the 'Roman' settlement of Ribchester and good walking around the site and in the area. We will return to this peaceful site.

We have been back again to this campsite as we had such a lovely time last time. Just had to warn fellow campers though that the traffic wardens in the village are very eager.
We were just finishing a lovely meal in the White Bull when we realised we were slightly over our ticket time. My husband rushed back to the car and we had a ticket timed at 12mins after the ticket ran out my husband got back to the car 15mins after the ticket had run out so warned!
Other than that the campsite is fab. The views are lovely and they now have an ice cream van calling, although we did not partake!

A very pleasant site with excellent quality pitches.
Access is controlled via an automatic barrier with swipe access.
There is a large, relatively recently planted wood with mown paths and interesting views, which is excellent for walking and/or dog walking, attached to, and owned by the site.
The toilet facilities seem to be nearly new and in excellent condition, there are no additional charges for the use of showers.
All EHUs are 10 Amp.
There is a SPAR/Post Office about half a mile away in Ribchester which sells newspapers and basic provisions. There is much better shopping available about 2 miles away in Longridge with a Sainsburys, COOP and some excellent butchers.
There are 3 basic areas used for camping/caravanning they are.
1) A six van site near the road, each pitch with more than adequate hardstanding and EHUs surrounded by really high quality grassed area.
2) A similar area more slopping each with hardstanding and EHU, further from the road used mainly for longer term pitches.
3) An all weather/winter site with 12 EHU leading to a rally area without facilities.
The site is well run, well managed by John and his family who go out of their way to be pleasant and helpful. The site fees £13. 00/ night are very reasonable for the area.

Have just returned from 2 nights at one of the most peaceful, well-kept sites we have used. Catherine (owner) was extremely friendly and helpful. The facilities were spotless and with 3 toilets, 3 washbasins and 2 showers were more than adequate (just for the girls but I assume the boys is the same). The views across the Ribble valley and hills were amazing and there are many walks near by. Especially if you have dogs with you, there is a wonderful woodland walk on the site with 'poo bag' bins dotted around it. Whilst walking around the woodland walkway in the evening we spotted an owl, a couple of pheasants and some mysterious rustlings in the undergrowth !
Would highly recommend this site.

We also stayed on the little 6 caravan bit, have to say the road noise was a bit disturbing I think the locals must use is a thoroughfare as they don't half speed past!
That said the site is beautiful, the woodland walk is fab for everyone our dogs loved it - I even spotted a deer! Ribchester itself is within easy walking distance and we visited the back bull and the white bull both lovely with real ale - my husband was in his element.
We will be back as soon as we can but we'll go for the bigger touring bit away from the road.
Defo one to return to.

A gem of a site, clean, tidy and well maintained. We stayed for a long weekend on a hard standing pitch over looking a forest and Pendle hill (stunning), for just £12 a night all in.Does slightly miss a playground for young ones to be amused but there is a great park in Ribchester itself.
Very happy dog though with a fabulous dog walk that has plenty of bins, & different paths so you don't get bored walking the same route.
We have already booked for the August Bank Hol & at £14 a night great value!

This is a super site in a wonderful location. Great access on good roads not far from the M6, when pitched it feels remote and in touch with the countryside. Each pitch is of a decent size, hardstanding with EHU and water nearby. The brand new toilets and showers were warm, clean and without queues. The owner was so down to earth and helpful it was refreshing to be able to stay on a site where attention to detail and care take priority. More remarkable was the price at £12. 00 per night this is superb value for money. On this visit we did not have the opportunity to visit Ribchester and Longridge we will be back to explore in the near future.

We stayed here for 5 nights on our first ever caravan holiday. John, the owner, was very helpful and always there if we needed him. We were in the small 6 van field which was lovely with great views. This field is closest to the road but there wasn't too much road noise.
The site is very well kept, the shower block was always spotless and well stocked. There are 3 loos, one basin and 2 shower cubicles in the ladies and similar in the gents. The showers are free, the push-button type and there is a separate area with a chair and hooks for clothes and a wash basin in each cubicle. There are plenty of water points around the site, general waste and recycling bins and a small information board. There are no pot-washing facilities.
The bottom of the site is planted with young trees and makes a very pleasant walk and a perfect dog-walk, with plenty of poo bins.
It is a 15-20 minute walk downhill to Ribchester where there is a Spar and two pubs, both of which allow dogs in. We were recommended the Ribchester Arms and found the food to be very good quality and reasonably priced. Take a torch if you're walking back in the dark as, although there is pavement all the way, the street lights stop about half way.
The bus to Longridge and Clitheroe stops outside the site if you stick your arm out!
If you're travelling to the site from the M6, there is a rather hairy bend in Ribchester - fine if nothing's coming the other way but a bit nerve-wracking for us novices when we met a huge oncoming coach. We went back home the other way, through Longridge!
All in all, we had a great holiday at a very reasonable price on a lovely site. We look forward to going back soon.

Stayed for 2 nights on the 5 van site for £10 inc. EHU and W.C. Facilities. John+Catherine, the owners were most pleasant and helpful.
John a mine of information on local hostelries offering fine food and real ale,the White Bull and Ribchester Arms being fine examples.
The site was beautifully kept with well planned walks incorporated, a joy for responsible dog owners. Wonderful views in all directions from the site's elevated position.
An excellent base for walkers wishing to explore all the attractions the Ribble Valley has to offer, and the bus stops outside the site for those who wish to travel further.
Couldn't fault anything, the sun shone, Catherine's home made plum jam went down a treat and we will be back often to this excellent site.

Stayd at dale hey for 3 night we were made very welcomed by john the owner.
What a brilliant site especially for dog owners there are nice walks for dogs on well kept paths. The site is well kept the best iv seen so far. The toilet block is clean with plenty of hand washing facilities, I didn't see any children's play area on site but there were no children there at this time.
Ribchester is well known for the roman ruins but we didn't visit due to weather
This is a well kept site and I will definitely return.
