Stepping stones (added by manager 17 Aug 2022)

Stunning views from stepping stones conservatory

Dining inside or out, you can enjoy stunning riverside views

Nearly as big as the young man that caught this fine specimen in one of our coarse fishing ponds

Family-owned park on the banks of the River Wyre
Carefully landscaped wildlife haven with over 5000 trees
Four well-stocked and well-maintained fishing ponds

If you're a sucker for a place with a bit of family heritage, have a look at Claylands Caravan Park. The Robinsons have owned Claylands for more than 50 years, when it was a simple 14-acre farm; since then, it’s been transformed into a landscaped holiday park, while keeping an edge of wilderness. This lush place is on the banks of the River Wyre, surrounded by more than 5000 indigenous trees and in a haven for wildlife and birdwatching: look out for squirrels, foxes, deer, rabbits and around 85 different species of bird. On site are carefully pruned hedges, shrubs and trees, loads of green space, and excellent amenities including a modern shower and toilet block, a laundry room, and drinking water taps and waste water disposal points all around. Anglers will be well chuffed with the four well-stocked and well-maintained fishing ponds, abundant with roach, carp and tench: to be in with your fishing chance, arrive with your kit and the appropriate licence, and pick up a day ticket from the family team. Other facilities on site include a handy shop for the essentials, as well as a kids' adventure playground swish enough to make grownups green with envy. Light snacks and homemade meals can be had at Stepping Stones Riverside Bar and Restaurant, just adjacent to the park (open Tuesday-Sunday all year round), which has a takeaway service, pretty views from inside the restaurant and a spacious garden for dining outside.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: The site was well maintained and the facilities were clean. It's a really good location, it's easy to get to the lakes, Blackpool or the forests. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Disliked: There is a very busy train track 1/2 a mile from the back of the site where the motorhome pitches are. Not a problem if you have earplugs. The electric is on a prepayment card, £5 per night and any unused is refunded. We have solar panels, so this didn't affect us but it's an extra expense you may not be expecting.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Staff excellent, very helpful and went out of their way to make our stay a pleasant one. As my wife uses a walking aid we were placed on a pitch, as requested, close to the toilet block which made life so much easier. The on-site restaurant and bar was very good with meals relatively basic but well cooked and presented, and prices acceptable.

Disliked: We found the allocated pitch space a little 'tight' which we found a little intrusive always looking into the next pitch occupant's window and the pitches were not as level as they could have been for a motorhome.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Lovely, clean shower block and tidy site generally. Wifi was amazing.

Disliked: Toilet block even though spotless was a fair walk from the touring pitches not a silly walk but my wife is bad on her feet so I had to keep taking her in the car. Maybe a toilet only block nearer to the pitches would be a consideration.

Local attractions

You’ll find postcard-worthy surroundings all about Claylands. Water fans can meander along the winding banks of the River Wyre (so winding in fact, this is how the river got its name) and take a stroll on the river’s footpaths; Lancaster Canal is also nearby for lazy waterside ambles. The good news is that the river really is right on the doorstep at Claylands, so all you have to decide is which way you want to go. (If you’re really stuck, the staff on site will be more than happy to point you in the right direction, and reception is full of information leaflets and people ready to share their local knowledge.) Or you could just amble about snapping shots of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty... The market town of Garstang, five minutes' drive from Claylands, is an excellent option for this latter, as its whitewashed cottages, uneven streets and country drinkeries may make the imaginative feel like they're in a Jane Austen novel. Further afield, Blackpool is half an hour away, and both the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales are reachable in under 40 minutes.
