Large campsite not easy to find if you go please don't follow signs to beacon fell view country park as we did very very steep hills. Site on different levels so not good for the less active toilets and disposal points not nice. Play area nice and views are great, the was no take away staff all very nice.
We go caravanning in a small group several times a year, and I must say how impressed we all are with the views from Beacon Fell... although the pitches were a little close together, the varying levels provided some fantastic Countryside views..... & only an hour from our Wigan home !
Children always enjoy their stay....with a great heated indoor pool area & a well equipped play area. From what I recall, the toilets / showers & Chemical Toilet points were in dire need of updating and had no heating to any of them. The small shop seems to have a decent stock of many things you may need.
Last time we visited, two families in tents were chopping up pallets of wood for an open fire, and went the whole weekend unchallenged by any security.... Not sure that we would go back later this year !
We also enjoy visiting a local pub a mile down the road ( Brown Cow ? ) which offers good pub grub at good prices
The site has a great large superb warm indoor swimming pool and adults only jacuzzi, clubhouse with kiddies entertainment disco etc then bingo for adults
Spent 3 nights over Easter at this site. Really enjoyed it. Free swimming pool was nice. Good outdoor play area. & soft play area. Great Clubhouse children welcome.
Our only problems were: the pitches were too small and too close together. It was virtually impossible to fit caravan, awning and car into one space. Which meant cars were parked all along the roadside, which felt a bit dangerous and crowded. Also there are no signs as you enter the site. If you do take a wrong turn it is virtually impossible to turn - as our new found friends (hi Jayne & Mark - if you read this) found out.
Some lovely villages to visit. Dunsop Bridge was nice to feed the ducks and have an ice cream. Will definitely return.
we have just returned from a weekend visit to this site and thought it was grea. Smashing pool very pleasant staff and a great atmosphere in the club with two kids of 9 & 6 to amuse who also loved the outside play area by the way which was excellent. We thought it was great value for money and we will be going back
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
Visited this site as a newby to camping. Never even been in a tent before. Found the ground to be very hard to put tent pegs in and bent most of them, but I loved the place, we were the only tent there at that time and we had taken the two dogs so naturally we were concerned about large numbers of peeps but it was brill would definitely go again, brill walks helpful staff, peace and quiet well when the kids in school. Didnt get chance to try the pool as didnt want to leave the dogs in the tent but will go back in caravan and give it a go
Found this site wonderful for a weekend away. Weather was awful the rain was constant for 2 days and yet the pitches were great, no mud. Pitches a mixture of grass and gravel. The caravan pitches were on 3 tiers quite private trees in front and behind you. The play area outside is really good and my 4 year old loved the indoor play area with ball pools, climbing frames and slides. Family bar area had on entertainment for kiddies until 8.30pm and then the entertainment for adults took over. Pool tables,amusements and video games were in the same room as family bar cornered off by a few steps and a small fence. This is ideal as kids can go in there alone but parents can still see them. They can't get outside without passing by their parents either which is a good idea. The pool was fantastic the kids loved it in there.
The only negative is that a small cafe or restaurant would be useful. At the moment there is only a small burger van and though the food is very nice it's a limited menu. On the plus side though this food can be taken into the bar in the evenings. The bar area is no smoking by the way this will be a plus with some families and not with others.
All in all a great site with good clean toilets and showers which are not far from any caravan pitch.
We couldn't have picked a better site for our first camping trip for five years. The site wasn't too big and the surrounding countryside was great for dog walking. The kids were out playing the whole time we were there and we felt they were safe. There is a shop and food wagon which were basic but adequate. The club house and bars were smoke free and clean. The pool was brilliant, a real bonus. The site provides entertainment for the kids free of charge, which we tapped into on Sunday morning while we packed up - which was great for the kids.
The only slight negative is the shower block, although clean, needed a bit ofimprovement and they weren't very warm which is a must when you've got young kids.
We feel much the same as the other reviewers - a tough place for campers! This would be a site to return to for its lovely pool, great children's entertainment, friendly staff, well equipped shop and lovely views but the placing of the tent field was not done by someone with any experience in camping! As previously said, it was at the top of poorly lit, steep steps with the toilet, water tap, dishwashing area and everything else on site at the bottom of the steps and continuing hill slope. Not at all practical for anybody with children and not in their peak of fitness. We found it hard going and a constant worry as one of our children did happen to fall through the inadequate hand rail and rolled down through the nettles beside the steep steps. Tourers and static caravanners would enjoy a holiday here. We will not return with our tent!
August 2005 I visited this site with my girlfriend and two children aged 5 and 2 camping in not brilliant weather. The tent field is quite small and uneven, a little work to level it out a bit would be nice. Some people were walking dogs through the field but I did not see any fouling. Electric hook-ups are provided in the price but are limited so you may not get one in busy times. You would need to take a 25M extension to ensure you could reach the points too as there is only 2x 4 way outlets serving the field.
The shop and food bar are limited but provide the basics. Better shopping and a much wider choice of food are available in Longridge just a few minutes away by car. The club house served reasonably priced drinks and the entertainment was quite adequate except on Jennie’s night off :)
Toilets were clean-ish (you can't expect them to run around after everyone flushing toilets and rinsing sinks constantly!) but were not really much in demand as the site seemed fairly quiet for campers and tourers.
The pool was excellent and well worth paying a little extra for. Overall we had a good time, the site is suitable for someone wanting a few drinks at night without the boisterous behaviour of bigger places. You can also settle for a quieter time too.

March 2005 The site was exellent, however please be aware that the toilet and shower block could of been cleaner, and the pitches were mainly gravel and mud. The kids said that the play area and swimming pool was great, the staff were all really friendy. The shop was rather basic but sold everything you needed, e.g. sweets, drinks. All in all a very good site!
March 2005 Overall a nice site and reasonably clean and tidy Pool was great for the kids a nice club house although the entertainment was not brilliant but at least there was something.A small shop but a bit pricy. A catering wagon which was fairly reasonable with costs and very nice food Only problem was that the site catered more for caravans then tents. The area set aside for tents was quite small and slightly away from the main part of the camp and up some very steep steps with no lighting at all very tricky at a night time and a long walk for campers wanting to use the toilets etc The field is also next to the road and over the weekend was busy late at night with the local boy racers keeping everyone awake at the night The field could also do with having some sort of drainage as there were cars stuck every day in the mud Before pitching tent had to beware of the amount of dog muck also in the field Would use the site again if using a caravan but would not use it for camping.
November 2004 We discovered this site around two years ago by accident, it is quite difficult to find as the directions tell you to bear left at the white bull pub, unfortunately if you are coming from the south and leave the m6 at the longridge exit you pass a pub called the white bull but this is not the correct one, we spent 20 minutes going up and down this road with caravan in tow only for somebody from the pub to stop us and tell us it was the wrong pub and this was a common mistake by campers following the directions, be warned. Anyway about the site, on arrival you will have to park up and walk around the ammenity building to get to the new reception to book in this gives you a chance to look at the club and bar and also the new (smallish) gym and the excellent pool area with sauna. The reception staff are excellent, very helpful and always with a smile. The pitches are to the left as you come in to the park and they are teired, most will only take a van of 22 foot maximum so if you have a longer van ring to check if a pitch is available, they are all hardstanding although the longer pitches at the top do need some maintenance as the mud has come through. We spent an excellent bonfire night here this year but our pitch had become a quogmire by Sunday, this is not a problem further down the field. Since our first visit we have returned on a regular basis, we have often wondered what it is that we find so attractive about this site, as I've said the pitches are not the best maintained in the world but they are more than adequate, the toilet block is very old and cold out of season, but it is clean and there is never a shortage of hot water. You do get a key for the toilets and if all campers made sure they locked the block after using it they would prevent the kids coming over from the static caravans and damaging the toilets and showers, I caught four of said children spreading mud all over the walls of the gents. So what is it that makes us go back, well it is one of the most friendly sites we have ever visited, no snobery no looking down noses, very rarely any trouble, our outfit is worth in excess of £40.000, some on site even more and some considerably less but everybody speaks to each other and helps each other regardless of material possessions, this goes a long way with me. The club house is great, we have had some of the best nights we can't remember in here, the beer is not expensive, just a little more than pubs but who cares your getting entertainment for free. The dj is usually one of the residents and does his best with what he has, maybe the owners should invest in a few more disco lights to improve the atmosphere on the dance floor, this would go a long way for relatively little cost, live entertainment is usually very good. The best thing is as long as you do not cause any trouble you can be your self and have a really good time without upsetting anyone, a great place to let yourself go. There is also an excellent adult only, quiet bar for chatting to friends. If you enjoy walking after a good night out you are spoilt for choice, you can follow the old cattle trail to Clitheroe or visit Beacon Fell itself, the choice is yours. Overall I would give this site full marks, does need some investment in the pitches and toilet / showers but is a fantastic place for a fun weekend, infact I'm having my 40th birthday here at the end of april 2005, we have six pitches and one static booked already, see you there.
August 2004 My first time camping and I was impressed by the site - the caravan pitches are in terraces, so not much space for the children to play in front of the caravan or tent but the childrens play area is large and seemed very safe.
Pool and small Gym and Pub very good and shop was well equipped - staff were helpful. Childrens entertainment was a bonus - so if you're taking young children (my 10 years olds felt it was a bit young for them...)this campsite is a very good idea.
Toilet blocks oldfashioned but clean (if somewhat cold!) I didnt like the rubbish bins near the caravans- which always seemed full and overflowing, but if i'd bothered to report it I'm sure they would have actioned it!
I would go back, definitely, but would pay for a caravan pitch as the tent field was up quite a few steep steps, although they apparently they do have another one.
On the whole worth a visit if you're a family with small children and dont want to pay a fortune for good activities for the children.
