Date of Visit: June 2017 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Scek21 7 reviews from this member

 A really lovely site. Well cut grass and good views. Toilet block was immaculate. A nice warm welcome by Julie. Rivington is an excellent walking area for our dog. Drove in through Rivington Village no problems in our 8. 5m motorhome. Will be back again, just wish it was open all year.

 We have been to this site a number of times.

Perfect hostess (thanks again Julie)

If you have not been here before do NOT approach the site via Rivington village. There are often many cars at a junction and we were stuck a couple of years ago as someone coming the opposite way in a car couldn't reverse !

Approach via Belmont and come down the Belmont Road towards Rivington and the site is well signposted on the right.

This is a small site with slightly sloping pitches.

Toilet/shower area is small but has a perfect addition of two large wet rooms, suitable for families with baby changing facilities.

The ratio of showers/toilets to caravans is very good. Never had to queue.

Beautiful views across the hill towards Blackpool. The Welsh hills can be seen in fine weather.

Walking all over the place.

Washing machine, but facilities for hand washing of clothes and dish washing could do with a being upgraded.

Little to do nearby other than walk or admire the scenery. The local bowls club (walkable)allows visitors to their bar, when it is open, and a cafe down the road is open during the day.

This is perfect for a walking holiday or to visit nearby places.

 Site has nice, well drained flat pitches with a great view over to the coast. We could see as far as Blackpool. The other side has a clear view of Winter Hill.

Facilities are clean but ladies toilets were a bit smelly. Shower was nice and forceful.

Owner could do with enforcing dogs on leads policy as some campers let theirs wander and one fouled outside our awning.

Barking dogs kept in one of the barns kept us awake and woke son up at 5am which was frustrating.

Nice area. Lots of walks and there is Go Ape locally.

Generally a good site with a few frustrations that could be easily solved. T in one of the barns kept us awake and woke son up at 5am which was frustrating.

 We visited this lovely site for our first ever camping trip, having just purchased Motorhome. We didn't want to travel to far. The campsite was well planned out with excellent toilet/shower block. The campsite was very clean. The views were amazing. The surrounding area is lovely with the lovely village of Rivington not to far away. We would visit again no problem.

Reviewer: Arleyboy 1 review from this member

 Spent the early May bank Holiday here, it was blowing a gale, chucking it down and views were limited, you can see the Fylde coast on a normal day. We liked the site so much we left our caravan for £3 a night and came back the following weekend, The facilities were good, only complaint is that the showers were a bit hot. The management were really friendly and helpful. The site is ideal for walkers and there are some good shopping malls in the surrounding area. 


Popular Choice in this Area

Laverick Hall Caravan Site - Lancaster

This touring site offers spectacular views towards the Lake District and Morecambe Bay, with Blackpool Tower also in the distance, yet located just over 3 miles from Junctions 34 and 35 of the M6 motorway. Visitors will find just 10 electric pitches for motorhomes and touring caravans, with access to the superfast Wifi, toilets with sinks, a shower room and fresh water taps. Dogs are allowed and there is a designated field for walks.

The local village of Halton is a mile away from the site, offering a convenience store, newsagent, pharmacy, post office and fish and chip shop. The market town of Carnforth is 3 miles away, with its train station (featured in the 1945 film Brief Encounter) and supermarkets. The seaside resort of Morecambe is within 5 miles and the Lake District is only 35-minutes drive. Find out more here

 Visited this site may bank holiday for 3 nights, went to a wedding at Rivington Hall, so this site is only 1 mile away from the venue, very handy. Nice friendly owners of the site to greet us. I liked our name on the board on the plot reserved for us. Large plots for our unit. Fabulous views over The Lancashire countryside. A great walking area. Nice clean toilet and shower block, the only complaint I would have is the light in the toilet block does not stay on long enough, it's on a timer. I would visit this site again if I was in the area. 


Date of Visit: September 2014 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Davij 11 reviews from this member

 What a great site, Just returned from a weekend break.

So peaceful with views across the Reservoirs and surrounding fields.

Toilets where kept very clean, including a family room and baby changing room.

Large gravel pitches.

Sheep dog herding was being practised and the kids where fascinated to watch.

Plenty of lovely walks to do in the area.

As mentioned only problem is the last mile of narrow lane/ road leading to the site but its well worth the trouble once you get there.

Will definitely go back. 


Date of Visit: April 2014 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Debbiemon 2 reviews from this member

 We have just returned from a nice 2 day break at wilcocks farm caravan site, with our motorhome. The site is nestled in the lovely Rivington countryside, and is on a working farm, which is great. It is very peaceful and you certainly feel away from it all. There are lovely walks from the site, but you cannot easily reach shops on foot. There is a toilet block on site, with 2 toilets and 1 shower, for men, and the same for women. There is also a family room, which is a good idea. The shower took a while to heat up. I can imagine if the site was full, there may be a queue for the facilities but they were very clean. There is no children's playground but lots for young children to see, especially around lambing time. We saw 2 lambs just born, beautiful

The owner who welcomed us onto the site was very pleasant but I felt it would have been useful to be given a sheet of information regarding the site, surrounding areas etc.

We will definitely be back and would recommend this site for a no frills, peaceful countryside escape.

Reviewer: Ramps21 3 reviews from this member

 Lovely site with spectacular views over Lancashire plain to one side and winter hill the other. Very neat hardstanding with grass cut nice and short, shower block very clean with free showers and abundance of hot water, definitely recommend at £15 for our tourer. Dog friendly and the proprietor also very nice and helpful 


Date of Visit: June 2012 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Swiftycorn 3 reviews from this member

 Excellent! We found this site by pure chance and what a find it was, very friendly, helpful owners from the minute we rang to book until the minute we left.

Small quiet site, hardstanding pitches with electric hookup, plenty of space between pitches, beautiful views over Rivington and surrounding area. Located on a working farm.

Showers and toilets were spotless and the family wet room was excellent no struggling for space when trying to shower little ones, plenty of constant hot water.

£16 per night including electric hookup and showers.

Disadvantages:

* Narrow lanes on approach to site but traffic was also quiet so no major problems.

* no play facilities for children but plenty of grassed areas.

Advantages:

* excellent shower / toilet facilities.

* Near shops / supermarkets when required.

Overall;

Highly recommended site, a hidden gem in the Lancashire countryside.
