We booked this site after reading about the facilities on site (in particular the swimming pool) as we had three children aged between 4 and 7.
The pool came in very handy when it rained, it was warm and a great place to entertain the kids for a few hours. There was also a very good great play area for the kids with rope slide and swings etc
The pitch was in a field elevated slightly above the main site which made the walk to the toilets a little over 3-4 minute down some fairly steep (if you are under 10) steps. Not much of a problem during the light but a bit of a trek at night time.
The pitches weren't clearly marked but this didn't cause too many issues as the site made sure there was no overcrowding with no more than 9 tents allowed.
Upon booking in each pitch is given a key to the toilet block (£5 deposit). The toilets were stocked regularly throughout but the hand dryers didn't work, there was no soap provided - it just felt like it needed a bit of a refurbishment / freshen up.
The on site shop wasn't well equipped but there was a good shop off site towards the town only 5 minutes drive away. The main town of Longridge was also worth a visit as there were two supermarkets that had everything you could need.
This might sound picky but the price of the pitch was £28 a night I would of expected slightly better washroom facilities.
I would consider going again and would recommend a visit to make your own mind up.
A great site, the pitch was big enough for our folding camper though some larger vans struggled to pitch. Only stayed one night. Great field for exercising your dog.
Being only 25 minutes from our home we were hoping to be able to use it again but after listening to the noise from the clubhouse blasting out till 12 midnight and the noise people made on the way back to their pitches filling the air with colourful language and not forgetting some seasonal pitched visitors thinking its ok to sit, drink and play music in your awning till the early hours.
Other than that the site was easily accessible, great views, friendly staff but due to some of the people it seems to attract and the wailing noise of so called singers from the clubhouse we will not be visiting again.
Having heard some mixed reviews of this site I thought only fair to decide for myself. I was very surprised at how good this site was. The pitch was hard standing, but underneath the the stones was a soft layer meaning the awning went up no problem. Electric hook up included in the price was very welcome. My little lad made friends very easy and made the most out of the excellent pool facilities and the children's play park. The toilet block was to a good standard with plenty of washing/shower cubicles on offer. I would recommend this site to anyone, and I will certainly visit again.
Booked this site for a last minute quick weekend break over the kids easter holidays. We chose the site because we didn't want to trek too far (it's only a 45 min drive away from home).
We normally don't go for large sites with clubs and entertainment but were prepared to give it a go for a couple of nights. On arrival, we were greeted by friendly reception staff who gave us a map of the site, toilet key (for £5 returnable deposit) and information on the weekend's entertainment.
On driving round to our pitch, we could see quite a number of people sat outside their caravans drinking and having two small children, we were concerned whether things would get rowdy at night. However, we needn't have worried as, apart from a bit of noise from people returning to their vans around midnight, the site was otherwise nice and quiet.
The pitch was a reasonable size (we've been on bigger and smaller) hardstanding, but we were on quite a slope - the hitch was practically on the floor by the time we'd levelled up!
On looking round, the general surrounding area looked like it could have done with a good tidy up. The fences separating the pitches needed repairing and a lick of paint and the grass areas needed a good cut. T
here was broken glass all over our pitch and someone had left a dirty dishcloth over the fence at the back of our caravan. There were no wardens visible in the time we were there.
The toilet and shower blocks weren't the best we've been in. There was muddy water all over the floor near the hand basin area and in a couple of the toilets, the sanitary bins were literally overflowing and these weren't emptied the whole weekend.
The children's play area was good, although there was some waste land to the side which had 'keep out' signs around it, but not fenced off enough to keep inquisitive children from straying into it.
As the site is in an ex-quarry, this did leave me worried as to what hidden dangers might be in there! I cannot comment on the swimming pool or gym - the weather was so nice while we were there that we spent all our time out and about.
Beacon Fell is lovely for walking and there are loads of great country pubs for eating around Chipping and Inglewhite. Longridge is a lovely little village with a supermarket, boutiques, restaurants and takeaways.
Back on site, we ventured into the bar one evening to catch up with the Man you game and this was really nice, again with very friendly staff and the adults only rule was well adhered to.
The club next door also looked very smart, although we didn't go in for the entertainment as we went to visit some friends who lived nearby in the evening.
There was a well stocked shop on the site and a small arcade which I should imagine would be a hit on rainy days. So to summarise, this has the potential to be a lovely site - it just needs a bit of TLC.
The views are lovely and the surrounding countryside is some of the best in Lancashire. The entertainment looked fantastic, if that's your sort of thing and it's a site very much geared towards children. If you like somewhere smaller and quieter, then I would suggest this site isn't for you.
I doubt we will return, but it was by no means a bad experience, just personal preference.
Just visited Beacon Fell View for the second time this season. We pre-booked a touring caravan space to be there over the popular bonfire weekend we'd been told about by others back in May. Unfortunately, due to health and safety regulations, the site can't run this anymore - though you can bring your own fireworks ironically!
Not to matter, the site gave us two weeks notice and put on a great alternative weekend of entertainment.
First a few things about the site. It is hilly as it's an ex-quarry. There are many holiday homes and static caravans and it looks like there are around 80 touring spaces - all hard standings with hook-ups. The pitches run off a winding road and as they are on a hill are not level so when your van is level, you'll find the hitch very low to the ground and the rear very high - maybe off the ground and you may need a couple of rocks or blocks in order to get your van level even with the steadies fully extended. Saying that, as the road and pitch are hard standing, you're never trudging mud around and into your van.
The toilet and shower block is large, heated and clean. I've never seen it busy. Next to it is the chemical drain room that can take 4 users at once. These facilities are locked at all times with access being gained by a key you receive from reception when you check-in for a £5 return deposit.
There are two shops - the Pitch shop selling a very large range of caravan and camping accessories at good prices and also a well stocked general store too. During high season, there is a snack bar on site setup under a few gazebos that serves good value basic food. A top tip from others - the number 5 takeaway in Longridge delivers to the site site and touring units too :)
The large club house is very modern, new, clean and well equipped with a large bar, dance floor, modern furniture, large screen TV's and a stage. The bar prices are fine and the Guinness is lovely. There is plenty of seating and the room does get busy at weekends. There is an adults only pub/bar (Maloneys?) at the rear and this was respected and kept child free apart from the odd visit from the kids asking for more money for the small arcade area next door.
After the arcade there is a reception where the staff are friendly and helpful and also deal with bike hire, gym access, mini-golf clubs, check-in etc. Walking on past the gym, you walking into the pool which is immaculate and a good size. The water is clean and nice and warm. It's not too deep and the life-guard is strict and ensures the kids are safe. There is a smaller circular toddler pool also. Quite a few tables and chairs in here too if you just want to relax. Outside there is an all-weather mini-golf.
We loved the site as it is very family orientated. The adventure play park is safe and all the kids played well together. The entertainment has starts with a kids mini-disco, bingo, cabaret of a good quality and sometimes other things like a quiz or karaoke.
The weekend we visited, there was a fancy dress party with nice prizes for the kids and adults who joined in; bingo (I won a fiver dressed as a Mexican!); on the Saturday a 3-hour magic show - excellent for everyone; a superb birds-of-prey show that had the adult and kids spellbound; mini-disco and a great cabaret singer and disco afterwards. On the Sundays, they often lay on a free bouncy castle and some outdoor toys on the nice balcony outside the bar.
We also found two great restaurants nearby in Longridge worthy of mention - Thyme in Longridge itself (at one end of the high-street) and also Frances Italian Restaurant on the road back towards the M6 after Longridge. Both excellent restaurants with good choices for the kids.
We've really enjoyed this site on both visits and for sure will visit again next season.
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
Just had 3 nights here,really enjoyed it as it is not the type of site that we usually use.We used the pool and sauna all included in the price.
Toilets were clean with lots of hot water in the showers,the prices for small bottles of wine were £3.45 bitter £2.90 but seeing as the pool was free it is'nt too bad. The kids loved the indoor play area and the kids karaoke in the evening.
Just back from a great weekend at this site. All facilities were very good. Toilets and showers clean and site is generally well maintained. Kids (aged 8,6,4) were impressed with play park, kids club and indoor play area.
The swimming pool was clean and warm. All staff very friendly.
Only drawback is that tent area is at the top of steep stairs away from main area of site. It is ok for the fit and able bodied. The handrail on the flight of stairs could be improved and surrounding bushes pruned back to allow easier access to stairs.
However this was a very positive experience for our first ever camping trip.
On arrival the reception staff were very friendly and helpful, the indoor pool and gym are adjacent to the reception and appeared well used and updated. The bar/clubhouse also presented as pleasant, with doors opening out onto a terrace.
The site being on a hillside appears to be made up of terraces of different levels, with views out over the valley.
We were instructed to drive out of the site to access the tent field, which was a 10 second drive to the next entrance. This has a small gravel car park with wooden barriers preventing access onto the field. Unfortunately the field was of very poor quality with more weeds evident than grass.
The field sloped away and the ground was extremely sodden and water logged. The field is very small and almost triangular shape with high wire mesh fencing and trees surrounding the field, which obscured the view of the valley and caused a closed in sensation. A small gate in the far corner leads to steep steps to the terraces and facilities below. As there were some tents already pitched, the only space available did not have electric near it and would have meant trailing cable across the field or across the gateway.
In view of the field being of a very poor quality and cables not reaching the ehu, the manager was informed, extensions were offered but even then would not have reached. In the end we declined to stay, which the manager was understanding about and a full refund was given on the next working day.
I wouldn't recommend the tent field, however the touring terrace below appeared to be better, although as stated did appear to have small pitch sizes. I am unable to fully comment on the facilities as the the toilets were used only briefly, but presented as clean and basic.
Can I start by saying I do not usually like to write reviews but really wanted to express my opinions of this site.
I used to go to this site when I was a child and though t it would be nice to return 28 years later to see the changes etc. On arrival we were seen to in the lovely reception area by a very helpful member of staff, check-in was easy and pleasant.
The site is set on a tiered hillside with stunning views over Beacon fell, the toilets are clean most of the time but that is where the good points stop.
The camping field leaves a lot to be desired, seems like it is more of an after thought in my opinion, we later found that a considerable amount of the gravelled pitches (which are much better) were being left empty but so were a little confused as to why we were allocated our plot on the after thought field.
We were told that the whole field was electric based however, there were only 2 electric points, so if you were unlucky enough to arrive later that everyone else you will need about a 200ft lead to reach the electric hook-up.
The camping field is at the very top of the site up 2 very steep flights of steps all very well if it is dry but in the wet they became lethal. You cannot park your car next to the tent and the field is far from secure as it is directly on the road which resembled Silverstone race circuit most of the time.
The field itself is not level, neither is it very well drained so becomes very muddy with a little rain.
The toilets and showers were mostly clean. The 2 shops on site were reasonably well stocked although there was not a great deal of choice on food. The 'cafe' was just like a little burger van who's staff never seemed to want to smile - although they did do a good breakfast!
So, to summarise, if you like hiking up steep steps, want a no frills 'field' to just set up in and lots of noisy and rude teenagers/men hanging about then this is the site for you, however if you want a nice quiet relaxing weekend (in keeping with the beautiful scenery) then find another site.
Excellent site, friendly staff. We had a problem as our pitch was already occupied and this was resolved quickly and without fuss by the excellent reception team. We also forgot our passes to the pool and after checking our details, the reception team let us into the pool. Top service.
Only downside is that the small swimming pool was a bit dirty around the outside, apart from that, the site was really clean, the toilets were clean and site staff seemed to be working constantly to keep the site tidy.
Our 4 year old loved the indoor and outdoor play areas.
The views from the touring pitches are stunning. Would definitely visit again.

Arrived Thursday pm had the whole field to ourselves, on inspection quite stony and small pitch.
Campsite is directly of the road which is used at night as a race track and with your car not next to your tent security was an issue so could not use facilities the first night.
Felt more secure on Friday when more people arrived then discovered the very steep steps to the toilet block, not good for people with walking difficulties or children.
Overall clean toilets and a good size pool but poor value for the money.
Excellent site, although pitches were on the small side, we had a large trailer tent but eventually ended up with a great spot and great views. Swimming pool was really good and I never saw it really busy which was a good thing.
We never went to the bar at night but had drinks there during the day and prices were reasonable. The staff were very friendly.This is an ideal place for exploring surrounding areas, we went to liverpool, blackpool, morecambe etc.
Had a problem with showers not working but we could use showers in 2 of the static vans so not a big problem, the site has a lot of seasonal tourers on it but they we're very friendly and made us feel welcome. We had a really good week with lots of sun as well and we would return again.
First the good; lovely bar, pool, staff,kids club.
Now the bad; set in a disused quarry that looks like its in the process of being landfilled and amongst the rubbish, there's a few statics plonked here and there.
The pitches (tourers) are all cramped, some vans even had their tow hitches in the road / track. Our pitch sloped so much that you couldn't even ground the awning without sloping the van, then of course the fridge / plumbing went all to cock, as the van wasn't level.
Toilets / showerblock;
Take your own looroll as it soon runs out and even though they get mopped out, that's where it stops, trap doors kicked and battered.
There are some seasonal tourers that are dug in and I mean dug in with no organisation amongst them, (we experienced a lot of late night noise through to the small hours from them).
Very nice site great facilities for the price excellent value for money. Children loved it. We went with several other families and had to camp on hard standing due to problem with camp field. However it was a great compromise no messy grass & mud from children's shoes. Only downside was ladies showers way too hot / scalding and men's freezing.
Staff were very helpful and accommodating eager to help and customer service excellent. Pool & sauna very good thoroughly enjoyed our five night stay.
On arrival I went to reception to book in and we had to pay a £5 deposit (refundable) for the toilets and showers. We were handed a map with our pitch on it.
The pitches were very small and we found it a bit of a pain to get in as our caravan is fairly big. The pitches were hardstanding so good pegs are required if you are putting an awning up. The views were lovely from our pitch. We loved this site and thought it was great for families.
The facilities were clean all of the time. There is music in the toilets / showers. The showers took a while to warm up but once they did they were hot (if anything I would say a little bit too hot for toddlers) There is a fast food van on site which we did try one day and the food and prices were both reasonable.
There is an indoor swimming pool and sauna which we took our kids too and they loved it. The pool is clean and doesn't get too overcrowded. There are also two parks for children and a kids club each day.
The staff were very friendly on this site. We went into the bar area to have a look around and found there is also a small 'wacky warehouse' style play area. It was closed when we got to it at 3pm as it closes from 3pm until 7pm but the lady on reception gave us the key and said we could use it as long as we stayed with our kids to supervise them and didn't let any other unsupervised children in. This was great for our children as well as our friends children who just had the place to themselves.
The bar area is good too (although I think the drinks were very pricey) There is a kids disco in the evening with a kids entertainer. There was a race night later on for the adults which was good fun. We will definitely be returning to this site. Its great for families as there is plenty to do for kids (you could also hire bikes from reception)
