 What a find! With some trepidation, we made the step up from camping to caravanning this year so we couldn't have received a more helpful and welcoming reception at this our first ever touring park. Owners John and Catherine went out of their way to help (including some much appreciated assistance and advice from John with set-up on arrival!)
Beautiful quiet surroundings, stunning views, very well maintained and toilet/shower facilities spotlessly clean and tidy.
No shop but local Spar is less than a mile away in Ribchester.
Safe and great for young kids who actually benefit from those pastimes we enjoyed as kids - playing out in the fresh air, exploring the woods and making new friends!
Not surprisingly, we have returned more than once since and this site will no doubt remain as a favourite for years to come.

We have stayed at this site a few times over the years. John and Catherine are so nice and they have done an amazing job upgrading the park. It's has an amazing dog walk on the site through lovely meadows. The toilets /showers are lovely and clean and always seem nice and warm no matter what time of day I go in. We leave our caravan here when we can and return each weekend but we love it so much we would live there if we could. Although it isn't an adult only site it is a pretty quiet site and people are respectful of each other. We have stayed at many sites in the last 4 years but there is something very special about this one. Cannot recommend this site enough and will definitely be returning this year before the season ends. Sam and Debbie

Stayed here over the Bank holiday weekend. What a gem of a site. The shower block and toilets are warm and very clean, with lovely hot showers and all in one cubicles in the ladies.
All hard standing pitches are EHU, good sized. Grass pitches non EHU are surrounded by trees. All have lovely long reaching views.
Super woodland walks on mown pathways create a haven for nature lovers and kids exploring but be careful there are a lot of nettles.
The surrounding area has a lot to offer.
This is a fantastic site, and a credit to the owners.

Just spent 3 nights on this wonderful site, with my 2 kids in our little campervan. This site is excellent, the couple who own it are continually improving the site for the benefit of their customers.
The shower block and toilets are warm and very clean, with lovely hot showers. There are different style of pitches depending on your outfit, whether it be hard standing or just a pitch in a field. But when I say field, I mean perfectly kept grass area, nestled in the trees, with acres of space and views over to he hills.
There is a lovely grass track walk through the newly planted woodland, where you will see a host of wildlife and is really safe for young kids (its impossible to get lost)
The owners are very helpful and knowledgeable of the area, whether you need a nice pub, bus timetable or activities in the area. There is a bus that stops right outside the gate, but we just walked down the hill into Ribchester for a lovely meal at The Ribchester Arms.
We will definitely be visiting again and the tariffs are reasonable too.
Thanks guys for a lovely Easter weekend break.

This is a fantastic site, so spotlessly clean (coming from an ocd mother), lovely surroundings and fantastic views. We have visited here many times over the last year and enjoyed every one. My children love meeting and playing with other children and we all love the dog walk which is full of nature! I would highly recommend this site!

We have been visiting this great site for over 6 years and have been pleased to see the developments over the years. There are areas for tourers, rally groups and campers - all with EHU's and accessible water points. The toilet block is excellent. The owners are fabulous hosts with time to talk and provide loads of local knowledge. The dog walk is the best we have seen in UK. There is a great selection of local pubs and it is a good location to spend time visiting local attractions. At this time of year the bird song is wonderful and the wild life includes a wide range of birds, a golden rabbit and deer. There is a bus service with a courtesy stop at the site which is great for motorhome users. We visit as often as we can between trips to Europe

Dale Hey saved our first trip in our caravan after our original choice let us down at last minute. Turned out to be for the best as this is an excellent site. Very clean and tidy and well laid out. We had a choice of very good hard standing pitches, with picturesque views all around. Toilet/shower block was also very clean and warm with all facilities. Ideal base for exploring area with forest of bowland on the doorstep. Clitheroe and Skipton are a short drive away and Ribchester, where we had a lovely meal at 'Ribchester Arms' a 15 minute walk. We are new to caravanning so we only stayed for one night to try out towing and using caravan. We got welcome reception from site owners and we would definitely return to this site for a longer stay.

Just passing. We re-visited this site as we were nosey to see how much it had changed since we'd last called in five years ago. Delighted to see the amazing improvements. The location is fabulous! Facilities are great! The place is clean and tidy and quite enchanting! Lots of effort given over to environmental issues and to creating a slightly olde worlde curiosity. Nice! Good access, good value, and well run. The owner had time for a chat and was an entertaining character - so proud of his achievements and so ambitious to create the perfect holiday setting. We saw him handling minor issues with common sense and subtlety, a thing campers usually like to see. I recommend a visit. Wish I could guarantee good weather! Take your waterproof - we've seen this place sunny, but by golly it can be damp too!

This was a very nicely kept site, both clean and tidy with a helpful and friendly welcome from the owners. The site is not over large and was a nice mix of camping and touring areas with a rally field also. Pitches for caravans were hard-standing and pretty level. On site was a nice short walk through the woods which was a great way of getting some air before bedtime with our three year old who enjoyed looking at the insects and trying to hunt out the deer! It is a very short drive into Ribchester which has some nice pubs and a spar shop. We visited the Roman museum which had some child friendly activities on at the time and the River Ribble was also lovely to walk along. The site is very handy for a number of local attractions. We will most definitely consider another visit.

Phoned on route to get in here as a brief stop heading south, and ended up staying a few nights. A great friendly welcome with advice of local attractions to suit the kids. We were given a choice of pitches which allowed us to decide which fitted our needs.
A very tidy site with all caravan pitches being hard standing. The tent pitches looked great, allowing you to tuck yourself in designated areas that were very private and quite a distance from your neighbour.
The dog walk, as others have suggested is not confined to dog walkers. In fact we allowed the kids (7&4) to go wandering on this on their own with the 2 way radios and they loved it.
You can walk into the village for a few pints in the pub (food looked good, but didn’t try it). Plus the advice to visit the play area was very much appreciated with the obligatory ice cream shop in the café opposite.
Longbridge was great for stocking up on supplies with a Butcher/Baker and a supermarket with a petrol station which also had the cheapest fuel in the area.
We did go to the Wild Boar Farm nearby, which wasn’t as good as we were led to believe. It was quite pricey for what it was, although the Wild Boar Burgers were nice, and the ice cream was fantastic and cheap. The kids enjoyed the “death slides”, but sadly the go karts / tractors / ride on things were in a poor state so not much use to many kids at a time.
Overall a nice site and one we will return to in the future.

We arrived at the site to find the owners were away however the couple looking after the site were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We were on the Rally site. All the pitches are hard standing with grass for the awning most pitches are on a bit of a slope so blocks are needed to level the caravan. Fantastic views of the hills and we had a few walks around the wooded area. Every thing was clean tidy and well looked after. A place to return to We went to Clitheroe a great little place with interesting shops a castle and a market. Ribchester is small with some nice walks along the River Ribble and a small Roman museum

Excellent site! Would recommend this site to everyone! Where do I start!
You are greeted by the owners who are polite and helpful and very cheerful. They are always happy to help with any problems. Pitches are excellent, really spacious and have plenty of room for awning and car, chairs, tables, barbecue's etc. Pitches are hard standing and grass and are kept immaculate.
Toilet facilities are excellent. They are cleaned daily and are always immaculate. Shower cubicles are very spacious and have separate sink area, there is a chair in each cubicle and hooks to hang clothes on.
For dog lovers there is a fabulous dog walk area, which has various grass path ways which are mowed to allow you and your dog to follow it round. The grass pathways allows you to take the long walk round or you can come out at various parts which allows a shorter walk. It really is fabulous, and there are deer to be spotted (I saw two whilst walking my dog)!. Dog bins are provided throughout the dog walk and are emptied regularly, which I thought was really good. There is a stream if your dog likes a bath!
Site has lovely views and is very peaceful, We stayed at the top of the site which is near the main road. People have stated that traffic is noisy! We stayed 2 weeks at the top of the site and had no problem with any noise, yes traffic passes by (well it is a road)! but this is definitely not a problem. I would and will happily stay at the top of the site.
Ribchester village is 10-15mins walk, it has lovely pubs, and shops, it also has a social club which is very cheap and you can play snooker, staff at the club are really friendly. There is a Spar for any provisions you need.
Longridge is approx 3 miles away and has lots of pubs and shops, cinema and Sainsburys.
This really is a diamond of a site, which was recommended by friends. I plan to spend lots of time here throughout the years. It is excellent value for money.

I concur with all of the previous reviews as I cannot add anything that hasn't already been said.
We will be returning in the near future, and looking forward to doing so.
Ribchester itself was a little disappointing, in that there was very little in the way of keeping us interested as we are not Romano students, but Longridge, and Southport were fine, as was Clitheroe with it's castle and museum.
All that is left to say is
Thank You for the hospitality

From our arrival we were impressed by the helpfulness of John, who is to be congratulated on the cleanliness and smooth running of the site. He is to be seen all day working around the site. The shower and toilet facilities are immaculate. The dog walking area ideal and there are plenty of dog bins. Ideally situated bins and drinking water taps. All in all would recommend this site and we definitely will be returning. A bus stop nearby and just a short walk to Ribchester village with excellent pubs and Roman museum and tea shop. Shops for provisions in the village. Convenient for travelling around Lancashire. Lovely views and peaceful surroundings. Good deals midweek and for senior citizens. A gem of a campsite.

Just returned from an excellent weekend at this gorgeous site. It is immaculate, clean showers and stunning views. There are plenty of gravel hardstanding pitches, washing up area for tents, the tent field is really nice and there is a woodland walk from there. This site is fantastic for a relaxing weekend break and within walking distance of Ribchester where there is a local park/river/nice pubs. Highly recommend with very friendly site owners.
