The site is an all grass site. There are 2 male and 2 female toilets in the toilet block. The showers are attached to the house, plenty of hot water
This site is ideal if you want to visit Blackpool or fleetwood. Whilst I was there no children were on site, but there are 3 swings for children to play on.
It's a brilliant site, I'm returning there on monday. The owners are very helpful and go out of their way to be of any help to you. The owners wife sells eggs and home made jams in the green house which is attached to the house.
There have been comments that you have to park between the numbers but this is not a problem. As you enter the site your name is on the board at the entrance I found this very helpful.
The weather was nice and as you sit outside it's nice to see chickens and rabbit running round. This is the best site that I've stayed on and I hope to return many times in the future
Booked here for 4 nights at over Easter and really enjoyed our stay - would definitely go again. Lovely farm location down a pleasant, but quite busy, road.
Tight turn into the farm gate for large units like ours - as there are a couple of would-be entrances to the farm would suggest that a sign be added to each side of the site entrance 'campsite' so that you don't miss it, or go in the wrong one on your first visit, and have to find somewhere to turn round like we did. Have to say that owner came out straight away to help and advise. In fact he was helpful with regard to anything we asked.
Site is all on grass with shale drive down the middle, our pitch was quite level. We got some real heavy rain all weekend overnight and so the ground got very boggy, which can't be helped, but site owner helped folks who got cars/units stuck etc. (Thanks to Wes for pulling our caravan out!) We had wellies too so it didn't worry us, but I think some of the tent campers had a hard time.
There's a board in the entrance which shows a site diagram and your allocated pitch number. Be aware that you don't pitch in front of the pitch numbers as usual - but between them, which was a bit strange! Owner comes out for each arrival to help and advise, but some folks had started to pitch before he came out and they had to move up!
One shower each for men and women which meant a bit of a wait sometimes, but it was free and hot! Chair provided to stash your stuff. Would suggest provision of a bucket and mop, especially in bad weather, so that you can clean up the mud after yourself (or before if following a mucky pup!)
Toilets clean with paper and sink but no soap or hand drying. Would accompany children after dark as the lights are on a sensor and go out if you are sitting there for a couple of minutes on your own, which is a bit disconcerting ;-). There was a washing up sink but we don't use that so don't feel qualified to comment.
Farm sells eggs, jam and marmalade in conservatory of house. Owners keen that all rubbish is recycled in labelled bins, quite happy with that.
There were three swings for the children. Those that were there this weekend were well behaved and probably the only ones enjoying the mud!
No 75 bus stops and drops off by farm gate if you don't want to use your car - about £3.60 into Blackpool central. Taxi £9.50.
Overall a good site and I'd love to go back in nicer weather to benefit from the rural surroundings.
Booked here after reading the reviews, and was not disappointed at all. When we arrived, the plot reserved for us wasn't level, and having disabled in our party, Nick changed our pitch for one more level.
The weather wasn't great, but we were told that if we had trouble getting off, he had mesh which would help.
10 minutes from Blackpool, and kids (13/5/4/2 & 6 mths),had a great weekend.(Oct 9th - Oct 11th)
A basic site, but that's all you need, and very family friendly. Toilets were adequate and kept clean and well stocked.
When we came to leave, due to the rain, we were helped off by a friend of the owners, who had a 4x4.
The entrance is a bit tight, but its on a fairly quiet road, so you can swing and get the angle right.
If your on a budget, and want to see the Illuminations in Blackpool, I recommend High Bank Farm, we've even considered re-booking for next year, but you need to book early. 5 star in my rating, will be returning often.
We have just come back from this site and we stayed for 2 nights. The site is very Clean. The owner was very nice and polite. The only thing is access to the site was a little tight with a larger van and it is dark on the site at night. The Site is in good reach to Blackpool only about 4 miles away. We would recommend this site and it is a good price.
We stayed at High Bank Farm campsite for 1 night, to see what blackpool had to offer (little tip if you want to go up the blackpool tower it is worth buying your tickets in advance on-line through ticketmaster as they only cost just over £8.Oo). We really enjoyed staying at the campsite. When we arrived the owners were away at work, but we went on to the site and just as you enter their is a board with pitch numbers on, some of which had been reserved by having a name written in them, so we chose a free pitch, put our tent up and left a note, we went into blackpool for the day, and upon our return, paid our fee (it was only £5.00 a tent plus £1.50 per adult, £1.00 per child, they also offer electric £3.00 per night-very reasonable. The lady who runs it, was lovely and had no problem with us, just parking our tent in a free place and paying later on that day. It is in an ideal location just 10 mins drive to blackpool. Plenty enough toilets 2 mens, and 2 womens in a block towards one end of the site,with drinking water taps outside and also a toilet and shower(one for men and one for women)in a building at the end of the house, there was also a washing up sink which is located just inside where the ladies toilet / shower is, but don't let this put you off,as they are separated by a full length doors. A lovely friendly, relaxed site,they also sell eggs(a couple of hens wander round the site, one was even after our breakfast!),home-made jams and sometimes home-made cakes. Would recommend.
We have just returned from a 1 night stay in this lovely little campsite. It was £5 for the tent, £1.50 per person and the dog was free. As you enter there is a map of the campsite with pitch numbers and your name is written on the map as to where you are. Pitches did have electric hook ups but we didn’t need it.
The field is surrounded by trees and fields and is in lovely quiet village. Blackpool is only a 15-20 minute drive away. At the end of the road, there is a pub and some shops – which are about a 10 minute walk.
There are two toilet facilities – one in the middle of the field with solar lights for evening and another set which have a toilet and shower and are part of the main farm building. The toilets in the middle of the field were very clean and looked new. There are also recycling facilities. There is one set of swings for children but as the campsite was so quiet and pitches had reasonable amounts of space – there is plenty of room for them to run around and play.
We booked a week at this site and apart from the weather could not have asked for a better location to camp. We had 3 tents (8man, 6man and 4man, the pitch sizes are excellent. The new toilet blocks are basic but ok. The shower room and cleaning facilities do need to be updated but for the price you pay you cannot grumble. The only other slight problem we encountered was the swings being next to the bins (the smell was off putting for the kids playing around that area). Nick the owner is very pleasant and will help you out whenever you needed it. The site itself is located 5mins from Blackpool, but the area as a lot of places to visit nearby. If you camp between July to Sept the Maize maze is a great day out, Stanley Park and Blackpool Zoo are also nearby. All in all a great campsite (esp if your on a budget), great location and great owners. Will def be visiting again very soon.
We have recently returned from this campsite. The owners were very welcoming they even made room for our tent by even cutting down trees. They had a park for the kids which was safe and secure. There is a pond at the bottom of the field for fishing. The toilets and shower blocks were very clean there is hot water in showers. There is a pub just down the road.Its in a good location for visiting blackpool. We are returning back in august and in the near future. There was 3 adults and 1 child and it only cost 14 per night with electric hook-up even supplied us with a extension hook-up free of charge
Second time at this site, (first was with the tent) which is ideal for exploring Blackpool and surrounding. Toilet block upgrade since last year. Owners extremely nice and helpful. Showers and toilets clean. Can relax while the kids are running about playing as there are two swings and of course the chickens keep them amused. Cheep and cheerful. Wish my stay had been longer this year.
We spent 2 nights on this site as we were visiting friends in the area.
A very nice new toilet block, but needs new showers as well. Good size pitches but not too level where we were. The owner was very friendly and trustworthy. Small dog walk at side of site.
The site becomes very busy at weekends. Very close to Blackpool and Lytham-St Annes.
Spent 1 night here on our way home from Scotland as our teenagers wanted to sample the 'delights' of Blackpool!
Sadly the weather was awful, but a lovely little site. Easy to find from the directions and arrived to see our name on a site map, directing us to our pitch! Large pitches, clean toilets and we bought 2 lovely cakes from the farmhouse.Peaceful at night, didn't hear the road referred to in other review and we were near it!
And all for £15 for a family of 5 - a credit crunch campsite. Would use again - if we ever venture to Blackpool again
Just got back after staying 1 night at this campsite (that's all I'd planned to stay). It was our 1st time camping, and we picked a great site to start at. We paid £5 for the pitch then £1.50 per adult and £1 per child. Total for this stay £10, which I thought was a bargain!
The site was small had about 30 pitches for caravans, motorhomes, tents etc. It was at the back of Nick and Sue's House (the owners). The field sloped, which provided both drainage and shelter. It rained so trust us on this part!
The toilet blocks were new (2 ladies toilets and 2 mens). The showers were lovely and hot (men's more warm), and fairly powerful, and free!
There's only 2 swings for the kids to play on but they all seem to congregate in the centre of the site to play. It seemed like a really nice atmosphere for them.
We caught the bus into blackpool. If you turn right out of the campsite round the bends and up the hill there's a bus stop where the bus goes every 30 mins or walk 5 mins more to 1 that goes ever 30 mins. There were loads of leaflets of things to do on the sideboard in the greenhouse.
There's a quiet after 9 rule too. It was fine for us we were tired after a day in blackpool.
I would definitely go back to this campsite and recommend it to others.
Just got back from highbank farm, we only stayed two nights. We enjoyed the walk into poulton a lovely town. The harvester is a nice pub where you can get meals that only took about ten mins to walk. Toilets clean there was two in the ladies with one sink only cold water and a mirror. One shower in the ladies this is via the pot sink area, and one toilet. Shower ok v hot room small but there is a chair where you can put your clothes on. The owners v nice they sell eggs, jams and cakes v reasonable.
We thought the pitches were close together we had pitch 5. The first night was a absolute nightmare the tent next to us was rowdy and we did not get much sleep, we had to tell them to be quiet. We did tell the owner and he had a word so the next night was ok.
We will go there again lovely area where can you tent for 8 pound per night ( no ehu ) and see chickens roam free. If you have kids there is no area to kick a ball and the road is quiet near you can hear the traffic but that did not bother us. We had rain and sun, also watch out for the mozzies as I got bitten on my head.
This was our 3rd visit to High Bank Farm and love it every time! Not for people who enjoy the more 'upper class' camping but for what you pay you can't complain. The site only has 30 pitches and were told before we arrived that it was full for that weekend and it will be cramped. By the time everyone had arrived on Friday evening it was full but still had plenty of space. Even had space for 2 cars despite having 3 tents on 2 pitches! Facilities are extremely basic but the new toilet block on the main field is much better than previous visits. The showers could possibly be next for refurbishment? Overall there are 3 toilets and 1 shower for each sex. The washing up sink is situated in the female shower room (just had to do the washing up with my eyes closed being a bloke). The site is situated well for trips into Blackpool and all the main attractions. We got a taxi for 7 into Blackpool one night and only cost £10.50!The owners are very friendly and spotted Nick parking guests' caravans for them. It only costs £8 a night for 2 adults in 1 tent without electric for the entire year. Overall this site is ideal for people who prefer the more 'basic' camping and are not bothered about 5* toilet blocks and cabaret shows on site at night. It is the best campsite I have visited so far and will definitely be returning in the future.
We stayed here for 4 days and was a lovely site. The only problem we found was that the pitch was too small for our unit, and they didn't allow enough room on that particular pitch. The other problem we had was a group of Folklands retired servicemen who were parting each night, singing to the early hours of the morning, and their children running wild by the unit as we tried to sleep.
On a good note we went to the Harvester & what a super meal we had in the evening, was very busy but worth the wait we had.
We spent a day in Blackpool which was super the weather was good, and the time went fast.
The shower & toilets were clean just a shame only 1 shower though but there wasn't a queue for this which was good. Hot water all the time. Toilets were very clean. We didn't see the owners during our stay.
If we returned to this site, we would ask not to be put with tents and we would prefer another pitch which is of better size for our unit.
