This is a little gem of a site. We use this as a base for the fireworks display at nearby southport. Pitches were flat and well kept with lots of bins for rubbish as was neat and tidy. Showers and toilets were kept reasonably clean with the usual mud/grass but they looked relatively new and well kept. Only downside was that if someone was in the shower then no loo!
Fantastic site, very clean toilet and shower facilities. Very good small shop also on site which is always well stocked with essentials. Loads of space to set up and very large play area with field for football, etc. Lake for fishing and a good sized dog walk area.
We have been to this site 4 times in the past 3 months and are going back again very shortly!
The staff are very friendly and can't do enough for you and they always find time to stop for a chat.
There is a pub not too far from the site (approx. 5 mins walk) and Ormskirk town centre is only about 20 mins on foot.
We would recommend this site to anyone wanting a relaxing or family holiday. Very happy campers!
Just had a thoroughly enjoyable few days despite the rain! Facilities just what you need. Kids loved the games room, recreation ground and library. Toilet blocks in easy reach wherever you may be and clean at all times. Will definitely stay again even though we only live 15 minutes away. Felt like we were miles from home. Lovely owners, very friendly.
We returned to Abbey Farm last weekend and have to say we still love it there. Lovely staff. Fabulous facilities Lovely site with good standards. Fab play area, pitches fully serviced, toilets and showers excellent and always clean. Dishwashing facilities looked good but didn't use them. Quiet and of a very HIGH standard
A lovely site which is great for children. All 7 of us had a great time (3 adults, 2 girls of 13, a boy of 8 and girl of 5 years old). The owners are pleasant and friendly.
A few minor problems on arrival - we had booked 2 pitches, 1 EHU and 1 non-EHU, but these were not available due to an unavoidable incident on that particular field. This was easily solved when they offered us 2 non-serviced pitches which we gladly accepted.
The pitches were fine, clean and even. We had booked 2 large pitches but managed to get the tents onto the regular sized pitches no problem - we rotated our Anglesey round a bit!
The best bit about the site is the massive playing field for the children - I took a lot of games, bats and balls, etc. Which kept them amused for hours. There are also swings and a small adventure playground.
Towards the entrance to the site is a small play area for toddlers plus a giant Connect 4. The play room is also a great idea - there is a pool table, table tennis and a football table to keep you amused. However, we didn't manage to use the pool or tennis as the equipment is only available during the limited shop hours when we would have really liked to use the facility in the evenings.
The showers and toilets are great and are kept spotlessly clean. There is one block with 2 cubicles containing a loo, washbasin and shower. The other larger block near the caravans has separate showers, loos and washbasins, also washbasins in separate cubicles which was good.
The laundry and washing up facilities are also great as is the provision for recycling glass, steel, aluminium, newspapers and magazines. The small shop stocks the basics and ice creams, etc.
The main area for improvement I feel is the freezer facilities for ice blocks. We were told that they had facilities when we booked, I was therefore expecting a dedicated facility. However, in reality this meant trying to fit our blocks in the ice cream freezer in the shop which was very full. We could only fit 4 blocks in at a time, also we could exchange during the limited shop hours (which was closed after taking the children out for the day) so this meant our food perished quickly and we had to buy a lot more than usual. A dedicated facility would really make this site great for tent campers.
I would like to return but the limited freezer block facilities mean I would be more likely to return for the weekend rather than the 5 nights we stayed. If this was improved, we could easily stay for 2 weeks as the children didn't want to leave and neither did we!
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
Lovely, Lovely site! Set in wonderful countryside, and only minutes away from the thriving little town of Ormskirk.
We used this site as a practise trip for our Cornwall/ Dorset/Sussex trip, basically to see if we could get everything in our small open top sports car instead of having to use the bigger one, which isn't as much fun!. So we went off to somewhere very local, we only live 10 miles away !
Amenities were great , shower block for the travellers pitches was excellent, clean and private cubicles with sink,shower and toilet all in one !didn't use any other blocks (who would want to !) so can't comment on them.
Nice touch was the library , great if you fancied a read but forgot to pack one, but it was so cute seeing the kids,all excited, dressed in their jim-jams, going to and from the library for their bedtime story books !
Local area has everything you could want, great country walks, pubs, restaurants, Must recommend Mulberry Tree at Wrightington (gastro-pub) is a bit of a drive away and expensive , but well,well worth it , 6pm - 7pm discounted 2 course price, off either bar or restaurant menu.Ormskirk itself offers everything you need , large supermarket, outdoors shops for your supplies. Pubs, restaurants (very good ones).
Weird, to travel all over the country camping, only to find a practically faultless site virtually within walking distance !
Just come back from visiting Abbey Farm. Must recommend, great facilities for kids icluding a fair sized playground /football field. My children also liked the facility of a library lending service which is also free, a warm welcome upon arrival along with friendly staff.pitches are spacious,shop reasonably priced,toilets showers in order,once again very good will be visiting again soon.
We have just returned from a weekend camping here. The site is spotless, toilet blocks are very clean too. The site has new owners who are very nice and helpful. They have a new tent camping field that we used this time. There are problems with ehu points, they seem to be placed too far away from some pitches. We had big problems using one but the owners were brilliant and lent us their extension leads so we could hook up to a etc.
The massive problem with the new field is total lack of toilets, resulting on quite a walk to the toilet blocks across on the other field. If you have a large tent then you will be put on the new field it seems. The play area is great for the kids but like the toilets, it is a 2/3 min walk to get there.
The site would benefit from new toilet blocks on the new field, perhaps the new owners will realise that it did cause a few problems for families on the field. I would visit again but not with children.
We went to this site after a week of heavy rain. The field was very wet and boggy but we wasn't to be put off. The staff are very polite and helpful. A lovely site clean and very tidy. We went with our friends who also have a caravan. Our kids (14 & 9) and there kids (5& 15) loved the field and park. The youngest 2 kids wanted to try fishing in the pond, only problem we had no rods. Just purchased a rod for when we go again. never really saw the kids as they was always on the park or playing football,cricket or rounders.
After reading the review we was in for a surprise as not one of the reviews mentioned the railway, luckily the trains don't run all night. Not a problem at all.
We will certainly be returning to this site again.

This was my first time towing, the owners are really helpful and friendly (they said they were new). Spaces are a good size, and the prices are good. Its very hard to get a space around bank holidays and high season, but that's a testament to how good they are. We will be going back
Just returned back home from this excellent site, will be booking again. A lot has gone into planning this site. Spotless shower/toilet facilities, a huge recreation field allowing football, volleyball, basketball along with a great kids play ground lots of space to run around which means no more footballs crashing into your tent. A small fishing pond for the angler. Shop on site, indoor play area, library, large pitching areas with electric hook ups. Only 2 minutes from ormskirk and 15 minutes from Southport. Travelled with my wife and 2 grandchildren and we all loved it
Visited this site in April. This was our first towing experience so didn't want to go too far. What a lovely site and the staff were so helpful. They helped us reverse the caravan onto the pitch (good, easy access road). Nice little shop, library and play area for the kids, washing up facilities good, showers free and flowing hot water. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would recommend!
We go caravanning in a small group several times a year, and I must say how impressed we all are with Abbey Farm... so much so, we go 3 or 4 times a year
Considering its just in the backwater of Ormskirk, its a fantastic Countryside setting..... & only half an hour from our Wigan home !
Children always enjoy their stay....with plenty of space to run / play games on the well equipped play area
We also enjoy visiting local pubs by the canal eg Blood Tub ( Ship Inn in Lathom )
Toilets / showers are always clean & warm.
The small shop has just been extended by new owners & seems to have a good stock of many things you may need..
Easy to get to... over Parbold Hill & just through Newburgh on Southport Road or couple of miles out of Ormskirk TC ...... which itself has regular open market and many supermarkets
All in all, very pleased.... going back later in year !
This site is a little oasis, we have visited it now on four occasions, as per previous comments excellent showers, shop, play areas, A1 all round now however been took over by new owners and tried to book february 2006 only to be told site full! ( not peak time previous owners would have fitted you in) so will let you know when visit made under new circumstances.
