This is a relatively small site. When we visited, there were only ourselves plus two other Units here. The site is clean and tidy, part of the site is a functioning Marina, so, there is a degree of interest, even at a quiet time. The marina in linked to the Lancaster Canal, so, there is Canal related interest, ie wildlife and canal boats. Facilities (ie Toilets, Showers, Washing Up area) are all kept clean and tidy. Facilities are heated, which is relevant in March! and, there is plenty of hot water. Facilities are not the most modern I have seen, but, they work perfectly well. There are washing machines, but, we did not use these so cannot comment. Relevant to Motorhomers like ourselves, it is a short walk into Garstang (less than one mile), where there is a choice of four supermarkets and something like eight pubs (I did not try all of them, honest). There are numerous eating places. Good bus service to Lancaster, Preston etc.
Arrived home last night from a three night stay on this site. We stayed there for the purpose of being able to join family, who own a narrow boat, moored in Garstang Marina - literally, through the hedge from our pitch! Staff very welcoming - informed us we could book a specific pitch for future visits. On leaving yesterday (best day, weatherwise. Typical!) I asked if we could stay beyond the designated noon departure. No problem, informed us we could stay 'til 3pm if required as site was very quiet. Noted the waterlogged grass as mentioned in previous reviews. Unfortunately hardstands are of the gravelled type and, as a past carer for a wheelchair dependent husband, this is seriously bad news as any wheelchair user/carer will state. Facilities are clean, albeit dated. We did gripe a little at the £22. 50 pn fee when facilities are in need of upgrading. One of the loos in the ladies actually separated from the wall, when sitting on it! My son grumbled about windows being open in the gents' end, rendering heating useless. Not good news during a cold, March stay. Ideally situated for Garstang itself and plenty good eateries. There is one, literally, 10 minutes walk from the site offering 2 for 1 meals. Having tested them ourselves, thumbs up to the chefs - they were delicious and excellent value. All told though, I can judge a site on whether or not I would return. Yes, if the need was there, I certainly would!
Spent the last four nights at this site, and despite the inclement weather on our last night, we had a very nice time.
The site has just reopened for the season so was really quiet and it really is a gem of a place, as others have said.
It appears that the area has had a battering weatherwise and the grass is sodden, so quickly turns to mud when walked on, the very friendly staff have done very well to keep the site in such good condition so hats off to them, one little bugbear is the chemical disposal is rather primitive, a hose and an old lavvy pan but it does the job, the toilets are very good plenty of hot water and cleaned every day so no complaints there.
This is a 2nd visit here and havent been disappointed again. A lovely friendly site not too big and only a short walk to local pubs and town (most pubs are dog friendly). Be aware though that 'not so shy' ducks and rabbits may take over your awning, not good if you have a jack russell like us! The static caravan site neighbours the touring pitches and looks to be quite 5*, and the marina is a pleasure to wander around. The only downside are the shower/toilet facilities being very dated. A spruce up of these would do well to make a 5* site.
We were directed here from another site a few miles away who advised they no longer took tourers and suggested Bridge House.
Reception in in the chandlers shop, very quick and very friendly and helpful. $10 deposit needed for barrier key onto site. Pitches large, harstanding and well spaced from each other all with ehu. Toilets and showers are fairly old but kept very clean with good hot showers. There is a full laundry room with washer, drier and iron also a washing up area.
From the site its literally a few feet onto the towpath and you can walk or cycle for miles in either direction. The site also hires out day boats for the canal with a discount if you are staying in site. We hired for a day and took the trip down to a Owd Nells for lunch (very reasonable prices and lovely home cooked food).
We absolutely loved this site, our one warning would be that reception told us fully booked weekend in the summer so try and book first so you aren't disappointed.
What a lovely gem of a site and only 40 minutes from our home. The site is part of a working marina with lots of river boats moored there as well as a beautiful section housing static caravans.
We stayed for 2 nights over a weekend and really had a lovely time. The welcome was great and staff were friendly and helpful. Our pitch was opposite the loos (we asked for this) and as there is only one toilet block that's not very central, you could be a short walk away which is fine when the weather is kind but not so when it rains hard. The toilet blocks themselves are fairly old but clean and with good facilities inside. The showers are operated through a tap with temp control for the water heat so no push button rubbish. There is a small but adequate pot wash and laundry room.
Close by to the park is a lovely 2 for 1 style pub but lovely inside and outdoor seating too. They don't allow dogs so you have to sit outside. Food is reasonable pub grub.
A lovely 15 minute walk down the tow path takes you into Garstang which is a pleasant village, we were a little disappointed by the lack of coffee shops but there were plenty of local style shops and a supermarket and a lovely pub called the Tythe Barn Inn which has plenty of outdoor seating right on the canal.
The only thing needed is a grey water drop off, there is no where for motorhomes. There seems to be no grids and when we asked, it was on there agenda to get it sorted as the warden had to lift a grid for us to drain off which wasn't great as we ended up blocking the main drive through area but apart from that, we would absolutely come back.
I stayed here with my then 5year old daughter to visit friends in Garstang. The site staff made us very welcome and let us choose the available pitches. Shower and toilet facilities are very clean, if a little dated.
There is a pub within no more than 5 minutes walk with great food too including two meals for £10.
Being a working marina it is a great opportunity to have a look at the boats that are moored and are being worked on.
Overall a great friendly site and I will be booking again for this September to view the lights in Blackpool.
Fantastic site. We have now visited this twice and still like it a lot. It is local for us (approx 20 miles away) and we think it's convenient, friendly and good value for money. The site is level and has hard-standing pitches which are well maintained.
The site is around 5 minutes walk to the local pub and 15mins into Garstang. Preston is not too far away and neither is Blackpool.
There is nothing to do on the site and hasn't got much immediately there for children. There are toilets, showers & laundry room.
The toilets aren't that clean and there is a communal towel for use to dry your hands, although I didn't really like to use it-you never know who or what it has been used for (wasn't that clean).
Overall really good site and will be visiting again.
This is a lovely little site that is handy for visiting Blackpool and Lancashire.
Although it is primarily a canal marina, it has a small area for touring caravans with hardstanding and clean, well-tended washrooms.
It also has a charming population of ducks and wild rabbits and it is nice to be able to have breakfast outside surrounded by them.
It is not too pricey and the staff are helpful.
The only minor criticism I would make is that, although it is signposted from the main A6, it is not made explicit that you need to take the very first right turn immediately after the crossroads so that it is easy to drive off down the Nateby road and not realise you've passed it.
This was our first site to visit with our new caravan and was recommended by a friend. It wasn't too far from home and was easy to find. We were located with lovely views of the marina and could see the children's play area which our 8 and 6 year olds loved. There were lots of safe areas for kids to play and explore and some lovely walks by the marina. We used the toilet block and found the facilities very clean. There are pubs a short drive away and Beacon Fell is well worth a visit if you enjoy walking. On the whole a very pleasant stay at a reasonable price and we will definitely be returning.
