 Spent a day here lovely location and walks, great for fishing and walking. Just one gripe toilets, this is a working farm and the toilet block had muddy floor due to the horse liveries and Fisher men be able to use the toilets, better if campers/tourers had a separate toilet block, very friendly place, bar just basic but great if your not bothered about decor. One bonus was the peace + quiet, we would visit again.

First time here in our Folding Camper.
Easy to find and good access to the site.
Onsite cafe and bar but only open Friday to Sunday.
We were on field H and had EHU but were warned it was only 6 Amp. We did trip it a couple of times but just reset the trip at the EHU post so no drama. It appears the caravans have a higher ampage feed.
A very pleasant site which is set in a lovely location. The views from our field were excellent as were the size of the pitches.
On arrival we saw two 'portacabin' type loos and thought 'oh heck!'. We were pleasanly surprised they housed proper flushing toilets which were spotless. Only two for two fields apart from the toilets in the main complex so they could be at a premium when the site is busy.
As mentioned in a previous post the site does offer fishing in their own pools and it is a busy equestrian centre so plenty of horses.
A nice site, well run and will certainly return.

Stayed here for a few nights at the beginning of the month.
I would definitely stay here again.
You have to report to the reception on arrival, I forget the guys name who greeted us but he was a nice bloke, very helpful, it was a warm welcome, he checked the booking and gave us the directions to our pitch.
A relaxing laidback atmosphere was noticeable from the beginning. There was some maintenance work being done on our last days fishing which got quite noisy for a while but these things cant be helped.
From speaking to the owner and his son you could tell they were genuine people and work hard at what they do.
The cafe was shut as its only open for the weekends but the canteen room was great for charging your phone while you washed up or boiled the kettle (provided free of charge).
The toilets and washrooms were clean and tidy with hot water.
The camping field was big and had a large area in the centre where kids could play etc. There were at least 3 other camping fields that are probably used for rallies or busier periods.
The fishing was ok, I only fished the larger of the 4 ponds but it looked the best of the bunch. The weather was quite warm so mostly skimmers being caught, not many big carp but I did see a couple of people catch half decent fish.
Eccleston is a few miles up the road, turn left at the campsite exit and follow the road about 3 miles. There is a good mini-market that had some good offers on so I might not take as much food next time.
There were also takeaways and restaurants and a couple of pubs not to mention a few various shops.
I didn't care for wi-fi but my mate wanted it, he was disappointed that the signal dropped a few times and apparently it only allowed you 3 attempts to log on with the allocated code, on trying a different device (my phone) this must have been the 3rd log on and so it seemed no longer usable for his tablet. He said he had wasted his money, maybe it needs a stronger signal?
In all fairness I would say he should have checked if the signal could reach the fields or if it were advisable to use around the main amenities areas instead of expecting it to work as if he was at home sitting on his couch!
Other than that I could not fault Charity Farm and would recommend it to anyone.

Just been for 2 night stop. This is the second time we have used this campsite. I think it is great, laid back with cafe and bar. Lots of space to wander around with footpaths and walks plus plenty of things for children to do. Loved seeing all the horses and chatting to various people involved in equestrian. Great views of Trough of Bowland and Harwich moors.
Very friendly owners with good showers. You do pay 50 p but I would rather pay and get decent warm water with decent flow. I have stayed in many camp sites where showers have been free but hopeless. All in all a little gem. I would recommend this site for camping

I went here on a dofe trip with school and it is a nice campsite.
The toilets were nice and modern and we had a lovely pitch and the staff were friendly and overall a clean place. There are horses at the farm so if anyone is allergic to hay or horse I don't recommend it to them people.
Overall I would stay 1 night maximum

Very nice place. The owner and son was so helpful. The toilets and showers was very clean and the ladies in the cafe was very polite and helpful. The food was lovely and very quick service, couldn't have asked for nicer people. The campsite was very nice. Really good that they welcome dogs in the cafe with clean water for them to drink. Will be coming back next year so looking forward to it

Stayed here in may for the bank holiday weekend. I've stayed on this lovely site about 4 times now and its a cracker. The owner and his son are a credit who are very friendly and helpful. The café is a great touch as they let dogs in and do a lovely brekkie for £4. 00 with tea or coffee thrown in also the pitch sizes are big enough for our 4 mtr bell tent. And the grass was freshly mowed. The toilet are modern and clean. You can hire a fire pit with logs. Kindling. Firelighters and the farmers son delivers them to your tent, etc. There's ponds for fishing. Nice walks nearby and a nice view towards blackpool in which you can faintly see the big one on the horizon. All in all a lovely laid back site in which we hope to return again asap

Quite a big site but still very peaceful. Greeted at the farmhouse with a smile and a map of our pitch location.
Toilet block lovely and clean, pub a bit soulless but ok for a quick half after a walk. Didn't use shop or showers.
Plenty of walks for dog, fab views all the way over to Blackpool and a great sunset too.
Can't comment on children's facilities as ours are grown now.
Would return as it was so peaceful.

This is our favourite local campsite and our 4th or 5th visit. Very nice friendly and helpful staff and owners. Very clean toilets and showers(50p), also a washroom for pots just inside the cafe with vending machines for refreshments. Fishing on site which keeps most of the men happy and there is a little cafe/pub on site. Although there is no playground for children they all seem happy running around or feeding the ducks. Service for hiring of a fire pit is great too, with fire lighters & wood provided. Lovely friendly site.

Just spent another 2 nights at this site, our third in twelve months. We find this site nice and peaceful, like your in the middle of nowhere. The café serves really good food. The toilets and showers are very clean. There are plenty of shops close to, just 5 mins down the road. And a couple of pubs that do meals. Will be going back again.

I have just spent 2 nights on this site. The toilet blocks and facilities where all very clean. We had a pitch in field D which was excellent. The only thing that is not mentioned on the website is the additional charge for WIFI access. (£5 for 3 days). This site is a short ride from Parbold and Eccleston, if you are passing call into Pepper Lane Chippy in Standish, we had a very good chippy tea on Friday.

Excellent campsite with good showers and toilet block which is cleaned regularly. Friendly staff. Well equipped canteen with hot and cold drinks and snacks available as well as good dish washing facilities should you need them. Laundry room with good sized machines at very reasonable rates. Lots of parking spaces for fishermen and visitors. Great ponds to fish (4) and I hardly ever blank on maggots, corn or luncheon meat. Only concern is the recent increase of rats around the ponds, especially 1-3 which needs addressing!

Stopped at this site for two nights just to try out our new Dandy folding camper, the site is on a large farm which mainly caters for horses but lots of caravan pitches and motor home pitches are available.
Toilet blocks were clean and warm but we didn't use the showers on this visit. If you are in to fishing this site has three or four large fishing ponds on site.
Only thing we found a problem was a horsey carboot that had sprung up while we were out and it was in close proximity to the caravans.

Just had 3 night here, not far from M6 but quite far from everything else, loads of country lanes to get lost in. The site itself is well set out for tourers and at least 2 big fields for tents, but there is only 2 toilets for every1 (luckily for us it was not very busy, only 3 tents on the big field) with the main toilet, shower (50p), washing up near the farm house, they were clean and never had to wait. It says there is a bar and cafe on site, there is but its only open fri, sat, sun. Big pet hate for me was they had some cutting and strimming the grass and hedges at 8. 00am which kept me from having a relaxing time there. Over all not a bad site but doubt I will be going back

We've been to this site quite a few times & we always enjoy it, the owner & his family are very friendly & helpful. Its very reasonable price wise & well worth a visit if you haven't been before, the toilets & showers are very clean with plenty of loo roll & the café food is very nice as well, lots of lovely walks if the kiddies get fed up, we will definitely be going back again
