 A lovely Bank Holiday Weekend at Abbey Farm.
A nice site for static caravans, tourers and tents. Facilities are very good. There is a games room for kids - which keeps them entertained in wet weather and a huge recreational field with a play park, nets for badminton etc and beyond that, there's a separate dog exercise field.
There was lots of kids (of all ages) to get stuck in - so I actually didn't see mine much.!
The pond for fishing is a very reasonable £2.50 per rod - kids caught roach, perch and rudd.
The shower facilities are great with loo, sink, shower and hand dryer all their own cubicle which were clean every time I used them. In the ladies there is a 20p coin operated hairdryer. There is also a power point, so was able to used my own.
There is a shop on site which sells quite a lot of stuff.
Owners are friendly. There is a payphone on site and and an information board. There's even an on-site library.
The town centre of Ormskirk is approx 35 mins (steady) walk away.
Note: There is a refundable £10 barrier key
Had a really nice weekend. Would return to this lovely site

It was my 1st trip camping on my own with 2 boys aged 9 & 4 so I went for a site I know a b it I have been to Abbey Farm b4 with the oldest and his mother a few years ago and he was delighted to see the old tractor was still in the play area. The site was clean and tidy but could maybe do with a update. The staff couldn't have been any more helpful. The site is quite secluded and as such is perfect for familys just make sure you have all you need because its a trek if the small site shop is closed.The pub is about a 15/20 minute walk but worth it for a meal if you don't fancy cooking.
Asked if I would go back the answer is simple try stopping me.

Just come back from Abbey farm once again. The site doesn't alter, it is the same as always grass cut, toilets very clean at all times. The site is very good for all caravans & tents we went to Ormskik market which was a good day out
Anther day we had a walk all around the site and found it so good and relaxing all the staff is very helpful. It was a very enjoyable stay for us we will be going back again this year

Another excellent stay at Abbey Farm please see May review,its very rare we re visit a site so soon after the initial visit, just guaranteed to chill out here we love it.
The only difference this visit was the pitch just by the shop that was a tad smaller than the last but closer to the shop, loos, wash up etc.
We also did a walk just ask staff for directions to the Dog and Bull then take a left and just keep going fort around 4 miles to Ormskirk and the main road back about 2 miles a good leg stretch the dog was knackered.

This was our first camping trip so we thought we'd dip our toes in the water with a site close to home (Manchester) and all the facilities.
The only pitch they had available was with a hook up (which I didn't plan to use) so had to pay a bit extra which wasn't a problem. Having said that, I quickly knocked up an EHU and packed it, just in case. One small gripe is that the hookups adjacent to each pitch are not operational, you have to use a central hookup which was about 30 metres away from our pitch and my extension wasn't long enough. They would have lent me one (if I'd asked on the intercom) but I wasn't sure if it was my equipment that was faulty or their's. The chap who showed us to the pitch should have mentioned that the EHU wasn't working but it's a small oversight, just make sure you have a long cable.
I agree with all the other reviews here. Great site with all facilities as advertised. Didn't see much of my 8 year old son, he was busy playing on the field and with other kids.
The dog exercise area is a welcome inclusion but much too small for a large dog to get any worthwhile exercise. Fortunately there are plenty of public footpaths round about (one runs right through the site (coming in along the entrance road, past the private residence and turn right on to a field)).
My oldest son spent a lot of time fishing at the pool but didn't catch anything. Other anglers were making regular catches though so it is well stocked. At least it kept him quiet!
At the moment, Flax Lane is closed which adds another 5 minutes into town, it's probably quicker to go to Ormskirk.
To conclude, I would recommend the site to a friend and this was a good place to stay on our first trip.

Great little site well done. The field is great and quite flat a mixture of tents and caravans with ehu. Left side of field gets less sun. Plenty of water taps around edge of field.
The toilets and free showers where always very clean and tidy. In the ladies there was a shower for kids a little cooler than others with lower pegs. Great idea when you have an independent 10 year old.
We stayed on the site on the sunday pm for a small charge great idea as we only 30mins away from home so could make the most of the day.
You can walk into Ormskirk in 30 - 40mins along road then on old railway lines lovely walk just ask the friendly staff for directions. There are plenty of shops and a market. Great butchers with barbie packs to die for.
A great site for kids they just all played together in the middle of field or on playing field and park. A very safe feeling site which is just what parents need to relax.
Will definitely be back to this little gem our perfect Friday night getaway.

Another fantastic holiday at this brilliant site. This is the fourth time we have been over two years and every time its been good. Nothing is too much trouble for the owners if you encounter a problem and approach them and they deal with it immediately.
Would recommend a visit to this site, the Priory field is best bit of the park to stay on if you have children as loads of space for them to play.This is the only site were we have returned a few times, and will most definitely be going again in the not too distant future.
We were with friends and they have also been a few times. Just don't follow Sat Nav to get there as it takes you through a housing estate into a very narrow dead end lane!

Just spent another wonderful weekend at Abbey Farm. I love this site as there is no club house on this site. The managers John and Roy and their wifes are always polite, friendly and very helpful. The shop is fantastic as you can order your daily papers and stock a wide range of items grocery/camping equipment.
The toilet blocks are clean and tidy with plenty of hot water for the showers. The dog walk is excellent as my dog can't wait to get on to the field to run around. Great playing field with plenty of space for ball games and play areas with park equipment. There is also the games room for table tennis.
An excellent chippy in Burscough (Burscough fish Bar) do all sort of different food from fish and chips to curries. It is only about a 5 minute drive into Burcough if you go down Flax Lane. There is also a spar a couple of doors away from the chippy or just over the canal bridge is a Tesco. If you go to Ormskirk there is a Morrisons. Ormskirk market is great on a saturday morning.
There is a pond on site but this time we didn't use it. The new hardstandings are great as they have gravel for the awning to be on as well. It is not to far to travel to Southport or Wigan.
We have not used any of the local pubs so I can't comment on them. The site is very secure with the swipe card (deposit returnable) for the barrier and bollard system. Fantastic site we will be back again. Only 1 slight problem please could I have TV hook ups on the Chancery please as we struggled with the tv freezing.

Just returned from an excellent 5 night stay at this very well kept superb site.
The owners of the site were always happy the toilets always clean and the little shop well stocked and very reasonably priced.
As previous posters have mentioned there is a train line by the campsite but the train only runs four times a day and never late at night.
Just a short walk (through the gate just ask Roy) there is a very hospitable local (The Bull And Dog) serving excellent hand pulled ales and yummy food.
A five min drive takes you into Ormskirks very pleasant town centre where you will find most high street stores and a street market on Thursdays.
Also not too far from Southport makes this a very handy site for a bit of retail therapy.
We shall definitely be returning just hop its not always full.

Just returned from a great bank holiday weekend at Abbey Farm, really enjoyed the time we spent there.
It seemed ideal for young children - certainly our four year old had the time of his life, and it felt safe at all times.
On site facilities are modest but good - toilets good, showers hot and clean, washing up and laundry areas fine, the games room (although we didn't use it) was a handy addition for older kids, and the shop stocked everything you might need. The playing field and play equipment meant that the kids had a safe area away from the tents to burn off their excess energy.
The site is just a few miles outside Orkmskirk, which means easy access to supermarkets, takeaways and other shops. Despite this, it also manages to feel very remote and rural, so the location is perfect. There is also plenty to do in the surrounding area, being less than half an hour from Liverpool, Southport and plenty more.
The whole set up suited us down to the ground - we will be back.

Went with four children under ten and never really saw them, which makes a change. The facilities were very clean and the owners of the site extremely helpful, they let me arrive early on first day due to work commitments and you get the feeling that nothing would be too much trouble for them.
The site is well maintained and only a short drive to take away, off licence etc. There is a small shop which stocks a lot of essentials. The games room was ideal for the kids as was the large playing field and swings. If I had a criticism it would be that there were no toddler safety type swings at the playground only more junior ones. Also given the overall excellent condition of the park in general I feel that the playground area is probably on the owners list of improvements, which judging by the fun we as a family had can only be a short one!

This must be one of the nicest, cleanest sites I have ever stayed on, everything is spotlessly clean, well laid out level pitches with water and power on each. Plenty of grassed areas that are well maintained.
A centrally located shower/toilet block which again is spotless, there is a bathroom available but I can't comment on that as you need to get the key from reception.
A nice large playing field for the children, games room, a play area for toddlers near the reception area.
Large dog walk and fishing area on site, £2.50 for a days fishing.
I have had a walk down by the camping field and the top half is nice and level but the lower half is on a gentle slope but wouldn't put me off if I arrived with the tent.
There is a pub nearby but at the moment it is closed for refurbishment.
One slight downside is there is a railway line nearby, doesn't bother us but it might concern some people.
Well done Abbey Fields, your doing a great job, I will be back again

Visited this weekend on our first venture out towing a folding camper. Had a lovely time, staff very helpful and the site was safe secure and clean. Kids had a ball!
The toilets and showers were clean- I would have liked to have had a mop to use after my shower as the water does get floor rather wet!
Kids had a go at fishing and all caught fair size roach.
I liked the recreation field for the kids it is massive and kids enjoyed the wooden park.
We also made use of the on site bbq and the games room during the evening which was nice and warm.
The owners were very helpful.
A lovely first experience!

This site was very difficult to find and we seemed to find a different way back each time we went out. The staff we friendly and towed us onto our pitch on arrival due to the muddy grass pitches (It had been very wet)
The toilets were clean if a little dated & the games room and play area were a big hit with the boys (12 & 10) The dog walk however was a small field with a pony in it & not enough exercise for our Labrador. Walks outside the site were not possible due to the lack of pavements and narrow roads.
Reception sold a few provisions but Ormskirk was not far away for a bigger shop.
This site was a good base for a long weekend.
