After reading some of the reviews of this campsite we were expecting to arrive to find a dirty rundown site, however some friends had booked the site for us to meet them there and so we were pleasantly surprised after arriving to find the site tidy with the grass around the hardstandings mown and no dogs mess. The site was only about half full so perhaps this made a difference. The showers and toilets were reasonably clean and there was plenty of hot water and no queues. I can understand the ten pounds deposit for the fob to use the toilets and showers as these are expensive to replace and with that amount of deposit you really do look after them. We had no need to use the shop or club as we were only there for the weekend so I can't comment on them.
The hardstandings were fairly large and the electric didn't trip out as I was expecting after reading previous comments. The tent area was fairly full but we weren't disturbed by any noise from them, most of them seemed to have children with them so any noise by them would have kept their own children awake. This area is great walking country and Clitheroe is well worth a visit. Check out the Emporium for food. Perhaps this site is not in my top five but after this visit I would certainly return to it.
Firstly in my defence I would point out that I am always an optimist but Three Rivers is probably the worst caravan park I have visited. Yes we may have been spoilt by some of the other sites I have reviewed on here but Three Rivers got even the basics wrong.
We lived locally and had taken delivery of a new van a few days earlier so we decided to have a local break just to make sure everything on the caravan was working properly.
On arrival, no barrier, zero security and you were pointed in the ‘general direction’ of where you may find a pitch!
The road was gravel with grass growing through it, and dog mess everywhere, but we negotiated the track, drove under some trees that brushed the car and caravan side and top as they had not been cut back and found a pitch.
We set up and had a quiet evening and settled down for the night only to be awoken at 12 midnight by music blasting out from the tented area! This went on until 3am and there was no sign of any wardens, in fact in the whole time we were there we only ever saw a receptionist.
In the morning I took my do for a walk and had to pick him up as two ‘hoodies’ in an adjacent van had a dangerous dog each and both dogs were snarling and pulling on their leads.
We went into Clitheroe and when we returned there was dog mess all over the area where we had to park and on closer inspection I found cigarette butts, nails and glass (so much for general housekeeping by the owners). The local police also paid the site a visit at one stage, goodness knows what was going on!
We sat out in the afternoon sun and there were groups of unsupervised youngsters playing football around the caravans and in the playground despite the fact the site asked the children be supervised. Then again there were as I said earlier no staff on duty. The playground had abusive graffiti scrawled on a sign about a local football team and to cap it all the couple in the next caravan were smoking cannabis all afternoon in front of their children. I understand that the site can’t be blamed for this but thought it important to build up a picture for fellow caravan users who may be tempted to visit Three Rivers.
The shower block was a joke. The shower heads sprayed water in every direction and some of the showers actually lacked sprays so the water just came out in a line.
In the time we were there the shower blocks were never cleaned, neither were the handbasins and toilet areas.
The wastewater areas were disgusting as the grids were blocked with food and the flies were swarming. The area to empty the chemical toilet wasn’t very clean either without going into too much detail.
It wasn’t cheap either, and I can honestly say if this was the only site left to camp at I would sell my caravan rather than revisit.
Booked onto this site at the last minute for a few nights away not too far from home.
This is the first site we have stayed on for a while that doesn't have numbered pitches and it reminded us how good an idea that is. We had booked an electric hook up but just had to find enough space to pitch up near to a free one (which did mean being closer to the rubbish area that we would have liked). Having said that, everyone seemed quite friendly and there was just enough space near us for the children to play.
The toilets were basic but clean enough, especially considering the number of people on site at the time. Didn't try out the showers, more hassle than it's worth for only a night or two with two small children.
There is a play area but our kids are 2 and 4 and it is designed for older children. Lots of other small children on site and they managed to keep themselves entertained.
Despite a little bit of noise when the clubhouse/pub closed the site was pleasantly quiet from 10 o'clock onwards. Again, considering the numbers on site, this was a nice surprise.
The only disappointing thing really was the shop, very little on sale and we discovered on trying to buy a paper in the morning that you had to order one the night before.
Found the camp to be very basic, there not much for children to do, I think this site would suit couples with no children or people older who just want a relaxing quiet holiday
Shop wass mostly shut and and stocked very basic things (does not sell cigs so if you smoke take them with you as it is quite a way to the shops). The cafe also has very odd hours of opening, it was not open at tea time but the food served there was very well priced
The family club was not open all day and there was not entertainment every night, entertainment room is 6 bandits and 2 pool tables. Swimming pool looked very clean although a bit pricey (1 adult 2 children was 7 pounds) also that wasn't open all day
Toilets you need to leave a 10 pound deposit which you get back when you leave, they were very smelly but were clean, the showers I did not use as the shower heads had a build up of some description so didn't look too clean
Tent pitches were great plenty of room, soft ground for tent pegs and sheltered by trees all round. Staff very nice and try to help where they can
Nearest Tesco, booths, Sainsburys is in Clitheroe, also Clitheroe castle which can pass a couple of hours on. There is also a skate park on the grounds which looks really good and a cafe and museum which costs 3.50 to get in for adults and is free for kids.
Well, we went to Three Rivers in our caravan from the 11th to the 13th September 2009 as it was one of only a handful of site that had any vacancies. When we arrived we went to park up on the hard standing pitches, but as we got out of the car, we was greeted by the foul smell of dog mess. Now this was a warm weekend and there was a dog walking area near-by, but it was all over the hard standing site. The pitches were roomy, but not very level for hard standing and the 6amp electric was not very suitable. The children's play area wa in dire need of some maintenance. The swimming pool chlorine levels were way too high, we all left coughing and with red eyes. The 'scum' line around the jacuzzi was disgusting. The shower in the changing room was blocked with hair, so the water level never went down. You were standing in everybody else's dirty water. Basically, they seemed understaffed, there was no gardening maintenance, a simple strimmer around the park would tidy it up. It has the potential of being a top class site, good toilets and showers,bar and family lounge and most of all, it's in a cracking location surrounded by some of the county's best countryside. I hope they take heed and have a bit of pride on the touring park as the residential side of the park looks immaculate.
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
We arrived at this site in the rain and in the dark to find that we were not allocated a pitch but had to find our own. This was not a good start as none of the pitch area is lit so the first part of our stay was not good. The site was a quagmire of mud, very badly drained.
The electrics were only 6 Amp so boiling a kettle proved impossible as the trip kept tripping out.
On the plus side the staff were friendly, the club was good and the toilets were clean with hot water ample for the superb showers.
We visited this campsite 2 years ago with a tent and had a great time so thought we,d go back again only now we have a caravan the weather was very wet and rainy every pitch was like a mud pit. Make sure you take your wellys here. A man came along and put our van on a pitch which was very nice of him with the sites land rover. The toilets were rather pongy and covered in mud (i think there due for a revamp personally) The electric was forever tripping out which was very annoying (think its only 10amp sockets) in the rain. We asked in shop if the club would be open to watch football on tv and told yes it was but when we got there it was closed (very annoying) If you do goto clitheroe camping make sure you go in the Black Horse pub near the cement works as the food is spot on and home made 10/10 for that pub. Tv reception is pretty rubbish too around there could get a picture even after we went and bought a brand new aerial
Staff friendly, ample toilets and showers. Shop had funny opening times?? Kids had lots of fun on both the playgrounds. Swimming pool small. Went to pub on Friday night kids loved it and had a good time.
Stayed on hard standing (gravel) which was level and spacious. No noise - had a good weekend all round would go back.
It looks as if the site owners have taken on board some of the criticisms. Having just returned from a weekend at Three Rivers we are pleased to report that the showers are now much improved from the previous trickle. And whilst the shower cubicles are ok they would be even better if the cleaning extended right into the corners.
The hardstanding aren't the prettiest but they are adequate: spacious with some privacy and good drainage (which might be important if you arrive in torrential rain, as we did).
Be aware that the bridge at West Bradford is closed for repairs for 6 weeks (i.E. Most of the school holidays) and the diversion signs are poor. We would recommend the route through Clitheroe and Waddington instead of Grindleton.
We didn't use any other facilities on this occasion but have previously enjoyed evenings in both the family room and the bar. If you want peace and quiet then this probably isn't the site for you as it can be quite noisy late into the night.
Clitheroe is a good place to shop for wine, sausages and sweets (unless you're on a diet!). The Black Horse in Pimlico Village is an excellent pub with a warm welcome and good food. We've been going to this site for years - it's not perfect but we like it and the area has something for everyone.
First impression when we arrived on the park, lovely floral entrance, the reception has been redecorated lovely hanging baskets on reception, and on clubhouse entrance. The toilet block is lovely and clean, the showers have plenty of water pressure, since all the cistern upgrade. The touring field grass is excellent, has been cut very short and the grass is collected, so tredding grass cuttings into the van is avoided. The electric never tripped while we were there. Excellent well stocked shop. The swimming pool, was very clean, but we can not comment on bar, or cafe as we did not use them.

Have visited this site 3 times now - very good facilities, clean shower block, well stocked shop and decent bar. There is a warden who ensures that it's not too noisy late at night. The site is well placed for visiting local villages, the Lower Buck pub in Waddington serves great food.
The site can get very busy, but is large enough to accommodate this without being overcrowded. The area for tents also has decent drainage and is not too cramped. Will be returning.
1, Site set in a lovely setting close to some outstanding countryside, and charming villages.
2, Toilets and showers clean, though you have to leave a £10 deposit.
3, Food at the cafe is basic ( avoid the hot dogs ) but on the whole fairly good.
4, The pitch we had was on fairly level ground, though some pitches are on a slope.
5, The swimming pool is fine, if a little pricey on top off what we paid.
6, The family room was quiet on a Thursday, but was faily busy on the Friday. Our daughter enjoyed the disco, so a big thumbs up there!
Now the negatives.
1, The pricing seems very steep when you compare what those in caravans pay, and what campers have to pay. We paid £28 per night without electric, for a 5 berth pitch. Whilst a family of six across from us, only paid £19 per night with electric. Apart from this a lovely site spoilt by the pricing policy!
Booked to stay at this site over the Easter weekend. They insist on payment in full at the time of booking rather than the usual deposit. Don't know if this is the norm or just because it was the bank holiday.
This site has the basis of being really good but seriously needs some upgrading. First impressions as you drive in are fine but as you pass the club with its dirty stained curtains and enter the touring area it starts to go downhill. I have got to say that the hardstanding pitches are some of the worst I have seen on a site with a small patch of tatty uncut grass alongside and some of them also require a lot of levelling. None of the roads are tarmacked either. The whole area needs some serious groundwork as it all seems unkempt and in need a very big makeover.
Pitches are not allocated, you just pick your own. This was fine when we arrived on the Thursday, but by Good Friday, when people were coming on thick and fast, it all got a little bit chaotic with people driving round and round looking for pitches.
The toilets were clean when we arrived and stayed reasonably okay for the remainder of the weekend. The showers are the worst I have encountered. You will be lucky if you find one that works okay and if you do it won't be much more than a trickle! On the plus side though the cubicles were a good size and there were plenty of them.
The site was full to capacity being the bank holiday weekend but the shop still only opened for about an hour in the morning, which seemed strange given the amount of people about. If you want a newspaper you need to order one.
There is a snack bar on site. We spent a night in the club which has a family room and an adults bar. The family room had a disco going on which everyone seemed to be enjoying when I looked in. We had a good night in the adult bar which had karaoke.
We didn't use the swimming pool so can't comment on that but it looked fine.
On the whole we found this site very noisy. If you like dogs barking early in the morning and very late at night, people partying until the small hours and teenagers hanging out around the toilets in the early hours of the morning then this is the site for you.
On the plus side the area is lovely and there is lots to see.
Weather was wet when arrived, however staff were great as they moved me on to hard standing for the weekend.
Good facilities, did not go in clubhouse, but kids loved it in the pool. Also the two playing areas were well used by our children and our friends children.
All toilets and showers were clean and tidy
A little noise at pub kick out time but nothing too much and quickly died down as people settled down to sleep.
All in all will be going back with the kids. Nice quiet getaway for the weekend. Thanks
We booked this site at the last minute, to try out our new Kyham Michigan Tent before we went to Dorset in July.
Upon arriving at the site, it looked very clean and appealing. What we didn't like was that they said our tent was over a six man tent and that we would have to pay for 3 pitches! even though it actually took up only one. We were charged £40 per night, plus £2 electric hookup.
Once we had pitched our tent, we tried out the bar area and is was ok, the snack bar was very limited but it was good value for money.
Upon looking round the site the next day, you realise that everything is past it's best and could do with a good clean (the showers & toilets especially)
The shop was open for one hour per morning, but didn't seem to sell anything other than sweets anyway.
We went out for the day and this site is well placed for visiting the surrounding area. When we came back, the kids wanted to go swimming but the pool was open 3 times a day for 2 hours each session. We thought that we would kill time with a drink in the bar but they shut at 3.00 p.M. Till 7.00 p.M. (even on a Saturday!)
The kids eventually went swimming at the evening session and this cost £2.80 per adult and £1.80 per child on top of our £42 per night.
The pool area was again very grubby and it is not manned by any staff. They let you into the pool and you are then on your own. There was probably 15 people swimming and none of us could find the lights or any staff to help, so in the end we all got out as we couldn't see where we were swimming!
I don't want to call this site too much as it had the basics but I would say that it is overpriced for the level of service it offers and I feel that we were ripped off. If we had paid a price for a basic site then this would have been great.
We spoke to several campers and they were unhappy about the charges as the caravans were charged less!
