 Stayed here to try our new caravan, not far from home. They were able to accommodate us at short notice. Value for money less than £20 per night. We were blessed with amazing weather over Easter.
Well laid out, flat site, tents and vans separate. Huge pitches which was great, and they get the sun all day.
Loads to do in the area. Or stay and chill on site, very relaxed atmosphere. There was a bit of a noisy group but they calmed down.
Site is on a busy road so not ideal to walk places but it’s only a short stretch to walk to pavement. Locally there is pilling beach, fleet wood, garstang, beacon fell, scorton, billy bobs. Endless possibilities. Showers basic but clean and adequate.
Would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Brilliant site, just one suggestion - invest in a jet wash or steam cleaner - those toilets need much more than a quick mop, they are filthy and slimy in the showers - it wouldn't take much to have them spotless.

We have stayed at this site a while ago, and after having liked it we decided to return.
The site comprises of touring caravans on hard standing pitches with electric hook ups. There is a large field that is occasionally used for tents or Rally's. Each toilet/shower block comprises of 2-3 cubicles, urinals and two showers. There is an outdoor pot wash area, a disabled toilet and a utility room with washer/dryer facilities for a small charge. There are three water points for obtaining drinking water. There is a recycling/general waste disposal area. Over a small bridge is a large field that is used by dog walkers to exercise their dogs. Attached to the main house is a cottage that is also available to rent.
The good bit: The site is a family run working farm. The owners are very approachable and helpful. The location is excellent for walks into a Garstang (once you've negotiated the national speed limit road that has no pavement) along the canal, visits to Lancaster or visiting trough of bowland or beacon fell. There is a pub a short walk away at the end of the said road that serves good value pub food. The facilities are ample for the size of the site appears very peaceful. There was very little noise after 10pm in the evening. It is far enough away from the road to prevent noise from traffic.
The bad bit: The site is need of a little TLC. The hard standing pitches are not marked out as well as we remember from our previous visit, moss and weeds are starting to take over the stoned area. The toilets and showers areas do not appear to be cleaned on any routine basis. A hand towel is changed daily and toilet rolls topped up but no other cleaning/maintenance routine seems to take place. There are no hand dryers or paper towels. While we were there the toilet blocks didn't appear to be cleaned once. There is a mop bucket to mop out the shower but this is very dirty and looked like it might make it worse by using it.
There is no lighting around the site at the evening. Trying to get to toilet block at night without a torch is difficult.
The area where caravan toilets are emptied is not covered or protected from children playing next to it in any way. It is completely exposed.
There is very little for children to do. Most make their fun in and around fields.
Summary: This site is very good value, go location and is well facilitated. It could be a brilliant little site if it was maintained better/tidied up a little. Toilets/showers need to be cleaned on a daily basis with the provision of hand towels or dryers rather than one hand towel to be used by all. Lighting around the site would make it much safer for navigating the site at night, especially for children or the infirm.
We would recommend this site and will probably visit again in the future.

Stayed for the weekend me my wife and the dog `kiko` excellent site very friendly staff and very very clean toilets - shower block. Would recommend this site and will definitely be going back next year. If you dont like camping there is an excellent cottage you can rent for a very reasonably price.
There are electric hook ups if you want one but we just used a cooker and bbq`s. Also not too far from blackpool.

What a fantastic camp site, can't wait to book for next year now. The owners were friendly helpful, the facilities were clean and warm. Toilets well stocked with toilet rolls each day and cleaned daily by owners. Also toilets and sinks were close by so no need to walk for ages with all your dishes.
Other people staying on the site were very friendly and after our friends left early they encouraged us to stay and offered there help taking down our huge tent, which was really appreciated.
The only thing I would recommend is maybe a wooden mat for showers so you aren't standing on a wet floor, putting on your clothes.
But can't thank the owners enough, the site is well worth a visit and the good thing the owners aren't being greedy with pricing. Very reasonable and great service and John is very helpful with any questions you have before arrival, and I had plenty. So thank you John.
Hope to be back soon.

Spent 4 days on this lovely little gem of a site. 2 adults 2 children(both 15)and we really enjoyed the warm welcome from the people who ran this site. Our pitch was more than enough room for a 21 ft van and awning. Hard standing and very clean. The toilets are always clean. (little hand towel on the hook is a nice touch)and showers hot. Nice walk along the canal to Garstang (15 min). We are only 30 min away from this site but you would think you were 100 miles away. The views are lovely. Will soon be going back thanks very much.

I spent the August Bank Holiday here, with my wife and son (15 months). We were part of a large group with an age range if 15 months to 50 years plus. We were in a folding camper and the others in the group had a large caravan and very large mobile home.
We all found the site very easily and had no trouble getting onto the site. The staffing levels are minimal as most of there time is spent on the farm, but the facilities were always clean. The large showers were a great benefit with small children.
There is no play area for children, but they (2 kids) found there own entertainment, and weren't bored at any point. There was a grass island in the middle fro them to play on, but unfortunately there was one inconsiderate dog owner who insisted on using it as a dog toilet and not cleaning up after them! But this is not a reflection on the campsite, just the one dog owner, who spoilt it for the kids on the site.
There isn't very much close by and it is about 15 min walk to the canal and a further 15 mins into Garstang, with parts of the walk not having any footpaths. But if you drive, it is about 5 mins into the town where there are plenty of shops, pubs, banks and a couple of reasonable supermarkets.
The electricity is 10amp and we didn't have any trouble running anything. You can BBQ on your pitch. There are 2 fields on for caravans with hardstandings and a separate tent field, which doesn't have electric. The is also a nice holiday cottage at the entrance, which again is an excellent price.
Overall very happy with the site and at £15 per pitch per night, without charges for dogs, awning or additional people, I will definitely be visiting again.

Good site with basic facilities. £12 a night without EHU, £15 a night with. The tent field is level and quite big. We didn't use EHU (1 night stay). The caravans have separate pitches. Slightly exposed location, not much road noise.
The toilets were clean. The 2 showers (in the ladies, no idea about the gents) were large family sized cubicles, sort of wet room style. Separate laundry room with inside and oustide potwash.
Washing machine is £1 an hour (takes 2 hours to do a 40 degree wash?!) and the tumble dryer was also £1 an hour.
No playground for the kids, but the field is big enough for them to run around on. There is also a separate dog walking field.
It is near the canal, and there is a very pretty walk into Garstang, which has quite a few shops. Will definitely use it again, in fact going back in a fortnight for Garstang Show!

Had a lovely stay here, the sight was lovely and everyone was friendly. The toilet block was very clean, there was only two toilets in each, but was no problems.
The showers where more like wet rooms also very clean with plenty of room and hot water.
There was plenty of room for my little boy to run around although there was no play area. I cant really find anything wrong with this site. We had a lovely walk into garstang along the canal.
We brought a rubber dinghy with us so spent a lot of the time on the canal. The site is easy to find.
We will definitely be going back.

I absolutely love this site. We first tried camping with some friends at this site in 2010 and after staying here, the site has set the bar that we measure all other sites against.
The site is well located and close enough to Garstang that you can walk there and back. The field has space for trailers and tents (tents with and without EHU). The owners are very friendly and welcoming.
The facilities are basic but very well maintained and very importantly they are clean!
I would definitely recommend this site and I would come back again.
