Having used this Site for my first ever break away in a touring caravan in 1978 when I was 20 years of age I have continued to use it, elevating from a Tourer to a Static. My mother, my sister and I all owned Statics on this Site when it was Haven Warners. Over the years we spent there, between us we actually swapped and changed our 'vans to the extent of a total of 16 Static Caravans. And boy oh boy, were we ripped off. We all left the Site and carried on doing our own things.
However, I digress, after the Static my partner and I decided to take up Touring again and our first Port of Call was Beacon Fell. What a difference since Haven sold out. The Site was run down, litter everywhere, toilet facilities were dreadful. We vowed that we would not return.
But we went back in August for a long weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, the Site has made a come back. The Staff are fantastic and go out of there way to help you. Yes, there is noise at all times, but it is a FAMILY Site, what else can you expect? I do agree with several comments made about dog fowling, (Come on dog Owners-don;t let the side down) all you need is a scoop bag.
I have to totally disagree with a comment made by AHITON in the review where he/she says that they could not find many places to take a walk. What???? Beacon Fell Caravan Park is situated in the midst of the most glorious countryside that Lancashire has to offer, you have merely got to go to the Site Entrance and turn either left or right and you will have all the walks that your heart could desire.
Tenters, ever heard of obtaining pegs which are specifically made for hard ground?
I am so satisfied with this Site that I have booked again for the end of this month, along with a further 8 members of my family and friends.
Just came back from the site and thought the site was marvellous. Good pool.Sauna, kids loved the play area,club n pub all good.Showers and loos fine too. Felt very at ease and safe. Very tidy site too with friendly folk. So we will be going back definitely. To sum up it was a very family friendly site in a pleasant surrounding
And is highly recommended.Nearby there plenty of restaurants and other shops should you require anything. Plenty of scenic walks too.Not that we did any like !
We stayed here for 1 night after, we used to stay often many years ago and decided to give it a go. What a site this is how camping should be.Clean toilets/showers/pot wash. Clean site, good lighting a warden patroling (but not moaning),great park,and clubhouse(75p for 2 hrs in the wacky)and the best swimming pool with a sauna in.This is by far the best site we have stayed on only down side is £27 per night is slightly expensive,but I guess you get what you pay for! plus probley not good for disabled access for people with prams has steep steps down to facilities. We cant wait to return to this site, this is not camping but glamping!
Stayed here for 4 nights mid august, decent pitch, hard standing but a bit on the slopey side, could do with a steam roller. Good views if you get the top tier pitch no in the 80's, see over all the hills & reservoir. Easy access to water, but had to trek down to the chemical loo to dispose of grey waste. You can see they are spending money as there a loads of empty static spaces were old vans must have been. Some grassy areas need a tidy, but you can't have everything
Good points
Reception very helpful,even let me stay all day for free on day of departure,
Pub open from 12-12 all season,entertainment also in club house,child friendly with pool & table tennis in the club,without distracting entertainment,big screen tv's for footy fans all over.
Food outlet open from 8am for breakfasts all the way through till 12.30 am On Saturday, along with convenience store on site,that was also open all day till 12am at night. Excellent camp shop on there that sells everything you need for camping /caravanning,catches on one of my cupboards went so what a god send :-)
Pool was a good size ,small gym at reception for the healthy types & a brilliant sauna,well worth a visit. Walk down the road to all pubs & food places etc.
Stayed there for a week with 4 kids they enjoyed every minute. The pool was warm, the sauna was even warmer,the toilets clean, showers hot and staff very friendly. Going to book a seasonal pitch here, very good site. On the down side £1.20 for a can of coke in the bar, a bit extreme but then you can't have it all can you?
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 returned from a weekend at Beacon Fell. I feel that some of the previous reviews are a little unfair. I have visited this site several times over the last 10 years and have seen some changes. They have invested in the site in a positive way and I think that credit should be given were it is due.
The reception area and new clubhouse are lovely, its all new and even though we were there out of season they still had music on for the kids and a game of bingo. The staff are very friendly and the site itself has a nice friendly atmosphere. The touring pitches were all being dug up to improve them by putting gravel in for drainage, word of warning! if your van is a large twin axle like ours then make sure you tell them when you book as most of the pitches only take vans up to 24ft in total! it is also a tight squeeze for moving about, however, the views from the top level are nice looking out over the reservoirs, especially since the trees have been cut down. The toilet and shower blocks are nice and clean and you need a key for entrance, they didn't charge us a deposit maybe because it is low season? The pool was lovely and warm and clean with a sauna. The improvements that still need to be made are:
The children's play area needs a revamp and the rubbish that is dumped near there should be removed, it looks like a tip. Some areas of the site let it down, the seasonal touring pitches are horrendous and look like a gypsy site, this lets the site down and if I was paying all that money for a seasonal pitch I wouldn't put it there! There were lots of dogs on site and even though I like dogs I stood in muck several times which didn't go down too well, come on dog owners, clean up your mess! and keep them on leads! This is a nice site for a weekend and is easy to get to as long as you don't follow the signs for Beacon Fell country Park! The road leading to the site can be tricky due to parked cars on one side.
With a little more TLC this site could be really good and since Haven owned it is has improved, however, it still needs some work which could put people off going again.
Stayed in brother in laws static. Watch out on the one way system as not everyone sticks by it. Kids loved site and I felt safe in leaving them to their own devices. Pool was great and relaxing. Didn't eat at small food outlet, could have done with a purpose built cafe. Kids entertainment use to run over so we didnt go out till late. Found the drinks very pricey and the entertainment was usual fare, though the entertainment room was completed and very nice. The caravan I stayed in was away from the noise of the club and found my stay to be really quiet. Never used the camp shop as there was a Somerfields store close by in longridge. Found the grass and surrounding areas were well maintained. Would I stay again? yes
Just had a lovely weekend at this site. Yes the showers were hot (but better than being cold!). Pitches are on the small side but most campsites these days are but big enough for caravan, awning and to sit outside, what more do you want. A very friendly site. Pool lovely, bar very reasonably priced. Definitely go there again.
Last week we arrived at this site at 6. 30pm in the pouring rain on our bicycles. I had checked out the park on the web and they took tents and had a bar and restaurant because I knew we might not be close to such facilities. When we got there reception was closed, the shop was closed and the bar was closed. On the advice of a resident we pitched the tent, got ourselves changed and went to the bar to check in. The barmaid had to phone the manager (from another room) and then came back and rather sheepishly asked us for £23. 90 for the privilege of staying one night in a small two person tent. AND THEY WERE NOT DOING FOOD! They also wanted a Ù5 deposit for the toilet key. The site was scruffy and badly signposted but to be fair, one of the staff did offer us a lift into Longridge so that we could get some food, thanks Baz.
We mentioned this story to many people over the weekend, including the owner of another large holiday park, without exception everybody was apalled at what they charged us.
I have previously submitted a review for this site which we have vistited approx 4 times now. Previously my reviews have been positive however, on this visit it is not to be the case. We have just returned home from a 3 night stay here and it is now possibly the worst site we have ever stayed at. Firstly on arrival we were given our entertainments schedule but due to the amount of building work going on around the bar complex this was extremely limited or non existant at times. We went to find our pitch and after dodging the piles of dog dirt and swerving around the over flowing bins we reached it. We had booked a touring pitch as we knew we got a bit more room than in the tent field, the touring pitches do have elec. Hook up. The building work is still going on nearby and the noise is awful. On two of our nights we were kept awake by late night parties in nearby units. The toilet block is kept very clean but they still have the key entry system which is still a pain!
The site seems now to have been over run by CHAVS. They took over the park area so we didnt let the kids go to it. Loose dogs wondering into our tent wasnt fun either. The bar is very expensive. The bar staff are friendly though. The snack bar is handy as is the little on site shop. Longridge village nearby is very nice with a couple of supermarkets.
The positives we took from this site are limited. The pool is still clean and didnt get over crowded. The weather was fantastic and the quarry nearby is great for rock climbing! Sadly, we will not be visiting this site again.

Just returned today from a three night bank holiday weekend here. The First and last. Trying to find it was the start of the nightmare. It is not very well signposted and after ending up down a country road and having to turn round with the caravan in tow we eventually found an entrance, that said 'No Entry'. We went up the road a couple hundred yards and eventually found it. A sign by the toilets told touring caravans to park there and report to reception but didn't point you in the direction of it. I had to ask a workman who directed me through a narrow walkway, but eventually I found it. The reception when you find it is fine and you can see through to the pool which also looked fine. A refundable deposit of £5 is required for the toilet key and a very pleasant young chap went through everything with me.
We found our pitch, well it was far too small. Talk about being on top of one another! It was a hike to the toilets which in fairness were fine, until you got a shower, I've been to some sites were the showers weren't hot enough but never one that were too hot to stand under with no temperature control.
On Friday night we went down to the complex for a drink, on the literature that the young chap gave us it mentioned an adults only bar. Being in our 40's/50's we thought that that was the place for us. We walked in through an unfinished bar/games room to the adults only bar that must have had about 12 kids in and it wasn't them that were making the noise it was the adults who were all trying to out shout one another. The prices in there were not too bad though, average, and one of the barmen, I think his name was Clarry was very hospitable. The entertainment was ok but not 'paid turns' as in previous reviews. One night was a quiz which you couldn't take part in for all the adults shouting. The second was a race night which seemed ok and the last night was a Karaoke. As stated on a previous review there is a burger bar and a shop also on site but we used neither so can't comment on them. There is some building work going on above the site, looks like holiday lets or something which at about 1 o'clock in the morning managed to attract some 'boy racers' who were let's just say not doing their cars much good and I bet they had a few bumps in them in the morning.
The surrounding area of the site and some of the local pubs are second to none and we had a fabulous meal in the 'Duke William' not far from the site and a bar snack in the 'White Bull' but found out that there are actually two pubs within close proximity with this name, the one we were in was the furthest one away from the site on the road going back to the M6. We went in the other one, but just for a drink. In the village there is a Booth's supermarket, a Somerfield and a Co-op as well as several fish and chip shops, chinese and indians.
Being just an hour away from home we thought this may be the ideal site for us, a bit of life. How wrong can you be.
Try it yourself though and see what you think, you may like it but I won't be returning.
We visited Beacon Fell in April as part of a sun holiday deal.
The actual park was half dug up as they were doing repairs to the pipes.
The swimming pool was ok and the gym we found ok as well. The only problem was that there was no food available apart from fast food outlet at the back of the club which sold burgers and chips.
We had to go into the village to buy food and even telephoned for a take away pizza one night.
Also the entertainment was ok but the weekend we went on was meant to be a soul weekend but there was only one act on the saturday night and on the sunday night the bar had sold out of some of its drinks.
I would not go again to Beacon Fell as I like somewhere where you can buy hot food and not have to travel out to the village to eat.
We have just stayed at Beacon Fell in a static having been before in a tent 18 months ago. The price was very reasonable for an almost end of season time and I have to say, the van was immaculate and very fresh when we finally got the keys at 4.25pm(!)
The overall impression of this site is one of tiredness however. It is rough around the edges and is in dire need of some t.L.C. and some re-investment. The site grounds are scruffy and don't give a good impression. The club is again tired and kids club useless. My two were expecting some disco type music and some games but all we got was a half hearted OAP playing adult songs and saying nothing! Apart from that, the bars are very good and staff excellent. There is also a soft play area which is open through the evening while the club is in full swing. The amusements are more than enough for kids who want to spend their pocket money. The site has a burger van style catering outlet which is perfectly adequate but the site would benefit enormously from a proper built cafe. The shop is small but has the basics. ( A Co-Op style shop is just 2 mins away if you're struggling). On a very positive note, the swimming pool is fantastic. Well worth visiting and is suitable for the least water confident child. Very enjoyable part of the stay.
Blackpool and Preston are within easy reach and a visit to Beacon Fell itself for a walk in the woods is highly recommended. Just a last note, please be aware that the van only had heating in the lounge so pack your bedsocks, pj's and fleecy dressing gowns to avoid a very chilly sleep at this time of year!
Stayed for two nights in a tourer at end of October after this site was strongly recommended by a friend. Poor weather forced us to remain indoors, although not altogether a bad thing as we wouldn’t have sat out had the weather been good. The site was affected by litter- bottles, beer cans, chocolate bar wrappers, etc were all over the place. Grass hadn’t been cut for weeks and some paths completely covered by leaves. This site isn’t picturesque (unusually we didn’t get the camera out once) with no flowerbeds, and although our pitch was hardstanding, in reality it was a random blend of gravel, grass, puddles and litter. The pitches are terraced and ours was slightly sloping- I made the mistake of taking the handbrake off the van before coupling to the car and almost lost it onto the terrace below! We were treated to a ‘Kaiser Chiefs’ concert one night until midnight thanks to one of the other tourers on site and expect a bit of noise after midnight as people make their way from the bar. Par for the course on a site like this I suppose.
The shower block was dated but very clean. Radio 1 permanently playing within. The showers are very hot, although there are signs warning of this! Showers with a better temperature for children can be found in the pool area. The toilets were always very clean. Soap and toilet paper are provided, although the hand dryers are a bit hit and miss. You will need a key for the toilet block, £5 deposit required.
A new Reception building leads to the pools (the highlight of our stay) comprising of one baby pool and a second pool suitable for children in a pleasant family-friendly area. Both pools were clean and warm, although not deep enough for serious swimmers. Plenty of seats and tables around the pool to keep your clothing as there didn’t appear to be any lockers. There was a small sauna in the pool area and also a small gym next to the reception area.
There is an indoor play area that was popular with small children. It was clean and appeared safe enough and although it was advertised as 75p per half hour per child, I don’t know any child that had paid and as the bar area was two rooms away so I’m not sure how the staff knew who had paid and who hadn’t. I would suggest that you would be very unlucky if you ended up being charged!
There is a small shop and an adjacent burger bar. Both take credit/debit cards. The burger bar has a vast menu of paninis and hot sandwiches as well as the usual burger and chips. I didn’t try the chocolate & walnut panini, although I was tempted!
There is a large bar/country club/family room complex with bingo and cabaret performances. It was very busy during our stay. The children’s entertainment provided looked a bit ad-hoc and wasn’t much to shout about, we have seen far better on other sites. There are a lot of arcade and ‘grabber’ machines around the place. The site obviously has a problem with discarded chewing gum as there were a number of laminated sheets of A4 paper attached to walls with ‘stick your used gum here’. I didn’t find the sights of used chewing gum stuck to a wall particularly attractive. The entertainment complex was otherwise clean and tidy.
There is an outdoor climbing frame, slide and swings for small children and swings and a zip line for older kids. They were all in reasonable condition but there was direct access from the play area to a big pile of broken pallets that appeared to be stored for bonfire night. Next to that was a huge pile of rubbish and garden waste. A couple of open fields away are two reservoirs. I would therefore strongly recommend you supervise your children on this play area!
Longridge is a pleasant village and well worth a look. Opposite the petrol station is a hardware shop that exchanges gas bottles. There are Booths and Somerfield supermarkets as well as cafes and a bakery in the village.
The staff on this site were all very friendly. Although this isn’t a bad site, there isn’t enough here to tempt us back so despite coming here after a recommendation we shan’t be returning.
Broke with tradition and tried a static caravan. The caravan was the coldest one that we have ever stayed in, although we should have guessed when we entered the van as the fire was left on by the cleaners!. It was not in the cleanest of conditions, it smelled of cigarette smoke intermingled with a foist smell. We managed to blank the smells with a air freshener. We had a marvellous view from the lounge area of the caravan lounge opposite as it was only one metre away from our window, which proved awkward for ourselves and the family opposite. The site is like a building site, the grassed ? areas were pathetic, as was the attitude of some of the staff, and it was a case of dodge the pot holes. The entertainment was a lively game of bingo with approximately 15 players. The site is poorly signposted, and on looking at the tourer area and facilities, we were pleased that we did not take our own van. On leaving I was asked why we were leaving early, and the lady did not seem one bit surprised by my answers, which leads me to think that this is probably a regular occurrence.
