Reviewer: Arendea 1 review from this member

 We arrived and were immediately greeted by the owner, the friendliest guy we met on our trip! The pitch was plenty big enough and we had the option of an electric hook up, although we are traditional campers and didn't need it

The owner gave us lots of great advice about local transport and where to eat, which we followed and had some great meals in Paulton.

The facilities were clean all the time - we advise not showering at 8am as this is a popular time and we waited 10 minutes for a shower. But lesson learnt, we had no problems at 9pm ;)

There are swings for the kids, but there is so much to do and all so close to the site that we really don't think the lack of play equipment is a problem.

I recommend the eggs and jams on sale, all homemade/laid!

We will definitely be coming back to this campsite it was a fantastic stay - thank you for having us :)

 Our first visit here & we will definitely go back. Close to Blackpool's main attractions, about a 15 min drive. Harvester pub near by for food & drink, families welcome & local shop near by. Down side, only 3 swings for kids & with a full site not a lot of play area, but the kids including mine didn't seem to mind too much. Only two toilet cubicles in the ladies & same with gents, only 4 showers but all spotlessly clean. Scenery around was gorgeous. Owner was friendly, helpful & approachable. Kids of all ages loved the free roaming chickens. There was buckets for recycling, area for washing dishes & you were allowed to use the washing line for drying clothes. There were noisy, drunk teenagers the first night who kept us awake until the early hours but he dealt with it well & had their parents pick them up the following morning & didn't rise to their rude & aggressive behaviour. No nonsense taken. All was peaceful after that. Looking forward to going back next year.

 Chose this site based on excellent reviews and cost for a 5 night stay. Have to say that there were pro's and con's to the site.

On the plus side the site was perfectly placed for getting out and about to explore the local area. Not too far to Blackpool and other places of interest.

Site owners very friendly and made a point of coming to see us soon after our arrival. Site was well kept by the owners and generally clear, although the previous occupant(s) of our pitch had left a fair amount of rubbish in the bushes.

Shower blocks spotlessly clean as was the wash up area. Recycling bins in place with all bins being emptied very regularly.

On the minus side, the toilets were constantly dirty and towards the end of the 5 night stay we were getting fed up of cleaning the loos before use. Also agree with previous posters, could benefit from a de-gunge in the cobweb department. Although can report that there is now a hand dryer, so owners obviously take on board comments/feedback which is very positive.

Our biggest disappointments, however, were down to the closeness of the pitches and the noise levels on the site.

Pitches were far too close together, felt you were living on top of each other. We were lucky in that we had two good neighbours during our stay, others were not so lucky.

Site posters ask you to reduce noise levels from 2100 which was ideal as many of the occupants of the site had young children with them.

The reality was very different. Lots of general noise which regularly went on beyond 2300 but with the highlights being trance music being blasted from one car until late into the night to the group of four tents occupied by a group of 8-10 teenagers who were very drunk, very loud and extremely foul mouthed until well after midnight on our last night.

We assumed, not getting a good look at them from where we were, that they were 18+ but later found out, when a parent of one arrived to collect the little cherubs and was confronted by an irate camper, that they were in fact 15. So I would question the wisdom of accepting the booking/seeing the kids on their arrival and then placing them in the vicinity of families camping with very young children (the language would have made Chubby Brown blush) and the parenting skills of anyone who thinks it is acceptable to leave these kids with a huge amount of alcohol that they had at their disposal (saw the empties strewn around their pitch the next morning) in a field camping overnight?!

A point to note is that this site also appears to accept same sex groups which wasn't a problem on this occasion as the group of lads, dressed as air men for a night out in Blackpool, were no bother at all. But a point to note if you have ever seen these groups on a night out in Blackpool!

All in all we had a good break, but we did spend a lot of time away from the site but we did feel for the families with young children who spent more time there.

Problems could be resolved by thoroughly cleaning the toilets, removing a couple of the pitches to give a little more space and a little look see after 2300 to ensure that the noise is at an acceptable level.

Unfortunately, despite the positioning and the cost we will not be re-visiting.

 Stayed at high bank for 2 nights to test out camping gear. I was on my own with my dog & my brothers family (4 kids) took there dog. We had 2 days of glorious sun & the day we came home it rained from 6am (but it was still red hot). It's a peaceful campsite, with great showers + clean toilets. It also has pot washing facilities. Everyone was friendly & quiet after 9pm. The site owner was pleasant & helpful. The kids loved the chickens. But and my only but is. The kids got bored with only having swings on the campsite, could do with better play area!. So altogether a great stay.

 Just come back from spending a lovely short break at High Bank Farm. The owners were pleasant, the site was well kept and the toilets and showers were spotless.

What we thought was a lovely touch were the chickens that roamed free around the site. In the time we were there they became like pets.

I would thoroughly recommend this site for anyone visiting Blackpool and we shall be using it again next time we visit the area.

 We were given a very warm welcome by the owners of the site on arrival and our pitch was clearly marked on the board as soon as we went through the gates.

It was a great pitch at the bottom of the campsite and there was plenty of space between pitches. The facilities were clean and the water was always hot and as its only a small site you never had to wait.

The only thing was that there was no soap in the toilets, I had read this in a previous post so had come prepared with my own.

The kids played round a fallen down tree at the site whenever we weren't out and about and even though it was near a couples caravan they didn't complain about the kids playing near it. It was a very friendly site and we chatted to a lot of the people that were staying that weekend and no one had anything negative to say about the place [ apart from the lack of soap in the loos ].

We ran out of camping gaz on our third night and the owners were very helpful and told us were to get some more, which we did with no problems [ a local garden centre ].

It was very child friendly and even the owners daughter played out sometimes. There was some chickens wandering around the site which facinated the kids and made for some great entertainment.

Blackpool isnt too far away, the outlet village at freeport and Lytham st annes is just down the road. All in all a great little campsite if your visiting the area and really good value for money. Would definitely visit again.

 Myself, 11 y old daughter & dog arrived at this site on the Mon 27th of May, staying for 4 nights. First 2 days had rain, then after that, the weather begun to improve. Found the owner, to be a lovely gentleman and very helpful indeed.

My overall impressions of the site was that it was quiet (especially after 9'o'clock), very family and dog friendly. Nice hot showers and clean toilets. The only downside is that there was not enough facilities. Maybe the installation of a wash and dry service would be a hit.

Will deffo visit again in the very near future.

Reviewer: Johnb72 1 review from this member

 Stayed over BH weekend, so site was VERY busy.

Owners very welcoming despite the site being busy, gave out local info and left ourselves to get on with stay, but were there if needed.

Facilities fairly basic, but as we were using site as a base for trips out, they were more than enough for what we needed. Other people were friendly and talkative, although there were one or two who were a little noisy on their final night late on.

We were allowed us to leave tent as no-one using our pitch as weather was wet when we were due to leave, alas to no avail as weather didn't let up, so we had to pack wet.

Toilets and showers were in good condition, washing up area under cover, although one gripe would be a lack of hot water in this area.

Harvester pub nearby, as well as newsagents etc. Not too far from Blackpool, Fleetwood, etc. But close enough to not be a trek.

Overall, a pleasant visit and would definitely go again.

 A lovely tranquil site located close to the Lancashire Coast. Ideal location for seaside days out, or for venturing into the fells of Lancashire.

We visited on a busy Bank Holiday weekend and the site was full.

The loos were always clean, although the hand drier didn't work and there was no soap either. The showers were clean and gave a plentiful supply of hot water at no extra charge. The dishwashing facilities were under cover.

A few swings for children, although no other space for them to play.

Other campers were friendly and happy to chat. The owners were lovely and obviously take a pride in maintaining a lovely site.

Recycling facilities for all waste. The electric supply was a problem with no supply to our pitch after 9:30 pm the first night and then intermittently for second night. The third night we had no interruptions.

We had lovely weather (brag brag!) although we did have rain on two nights, but even in worse weather I would imagine that the drainage to the pitches would be good.

This is a site we will visit again. The site went quiet after about nine o'clock. Very family friendly.

 Just returned after a 2 night stay with the wife and 2 our 2 kids (7 and 11), overall site was okay, on arrival we were the only people on site, grass was too long and wet even for pitching up 5 mins and feet were soaked through, ,

Toilets and showers could do wet a hand dryer and soap dispenser, ,

Regular cleaning of spiders webs and dead flys in showers and toilet area's needs to happen, ,

Owner was very friendly and helpful, ,

Might return again! even just to see if the cleanliness has improved

 We visited High Bank Farm September this year and it was great, the people who owned the site were lovely to talk to and everyone on the site were really nice and friendly, it was a good friendly site and all the owners kept their dogs on leads, they were no trouble,

There were swings for the kids who looked like they were having a great time. The toilet facilities were really clean and so were the showers, the shower room which has 4 big shower cubicles each with a shower curtain and space for when you come out to get changed, plus it has electric in the toilets which was great so I could do my hair,

We stayed 3 nights with 4 adults and it was a really good price.

We went into blackpool it took us about 10 minutes in the car to go there which was really good and there's a tesco near by and a pub around the corner, we also went out round the clubs in blackpool and it only cost about 10 pound in a taxi so that was really good too.

All in all this site was really good and we enjoyed it and will be coming back again soon

 I wasn’t keen on this site at all. We have recently got back in to camping after a few years break. The pitches were too close together. I don’t ask for much but I would have liked a hand soap and dryer in the toilets. On a positive note the showers were fabulous but would have been 100% perfect if there had been a stool in one of the showers to assist my husband who has mobility issues.

Very handy for Blackpool although I wouldn't return.

Reviewer: Littlewoff 1 review from this member

 Everything that we wanted and expected; very family friendly site, spent 5 days there as a base for exploring Blackpool

Kids played with other kids every chance they got, fellow campers sharing stuff that they'd forgot, even beer! Plenty of space to pitch with extras, free and unlimited showers (that's a first for us), fresh produce on a morning and a bus stop right outside that drops you in the heart of Blackpool, lights out about 10pm every night and all was well

The owner and the groundsman were very friendly even giving away equipment that was left by the previous occupants. We left with a gazebo, groundsheets and a decent mop that were just dumped, wicked.

Definitely would go back

 Stayed here for the one night, very last minute and was greeted by a friendly owner who helped us pick out the right pitch for our tent. Site was quite small, but family/pet friendly.

Toilet facilities / dishwashing sinks were conveniently located in the middle of the site. Unfortunately, toilets were not very clean and didn't have any soap!

The unisex showers were adjoining the main farmhouse at the main entrance to the campsite. There were a few swings for children.

We couldn't find a nearby shop so had to use car and venture further afield to get supplies for the night.

Cost of one night stay was £5 per head and £2 for dog. This was a quiet site and could benefit from addressing the cleanliness of the toilets.

 Friendly site with good flat pitches. Helpful owner. Unisex shower block was clean with plenty of hot water.

Toilets were clean enough but could have benefited from a good sweep and mop, and some soap at the hand basin!

Within about 15 mins walk there is a convenience store and a Harvester pub, plus the bus stop into Blackpool.

Very easy to access Blackpool by car, bus or bike from this site.

Only negative I found was I got hit twice by kids playing ball games in the camping area, and my car got hit once.
