  • Wild 10-acre site on a farm on the outskirts of Blackpool
  • A 10-minute walk from a bus stop for central Blackpool
  • Wide range of farm animals to visit on site; firepits permitted
Do you have visions of yourself strolling the streets of Blackpool, settling on the beach for a picnic and trying all of the different amusements along the Central Pier? Or maybe it's a properly rural break that you've got in mind? Or perhaps… both? If that sounds promising, this base will surely get your attention: Whyndyke Farm is a 10-acre wild site on the outskirts of Blackpool, full of animals and lovely long grass. It’s easy to reach the town’s many attractions from this handy spot – and an impressive set this is indeed, as Blackpool is home to the likes of the Central Pier (lined with rides including a Ferris wheel), Blackpool Tower, Blackpool Zoo and the Blackpool Pleasure Beach theme park. The farm is a 10-minute walk from a bus stop with a route to central Blackpool. Otherwise, a 10-minute drive (or a bit longer if there's traffic) will do the trick. At this wild site, you’re welcome to set up wherever you like and then visit the wide range of animals on the farm (think pigs, cows, chickens and so on). The site's facilities are basic, including just clean toilets. However, it's a few minutes’ walk away from a petrol station with an ATM and a small shop. If you’re missing any campfire essentials, it's handy that a large supermarket is a 15-minute walk away. There’s also a carvery-style restaurant 15 minutes’ walk away should you want to tuck into a good filling meal one day.

What customers say

This basic, value-for-money campsite offers a friendly, wild camping experience close to Blackpool. Visitors praise the helpful staff, the opportunity to have fires, and the entertaining farm animals. While acknowledged as a "farmers field," pitches can be uneven, and toilet facilities are basic portaloos which some found lacking in cleanliness and number. The site's proximity to shops and public transport to Blackpool is a significant advantage.

Non-electric mixed tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Nice friendly staff and family atmosphere. I liked that we could choose where we pitched our tent. The little shop was a nice touch. The kids loved feeding the animals. The location was good too. Would stay here again

Disliked Lack of preparation on my part really, there was a small sink but not big enough to wash up in and there was no shelter over it. Next time I will know to bring a washing up
bowl and stuff.

Local attractions

This a fine, fine spot for Blackpool adventures. Search the 80 wax figures at Madame Tussauds Blackpool (10 minutes’ drive) for celebrities and musicians you recognise, then for a splendid old-fashioned evening out, catch an event at The Blackpool Tower Ballroom (15 minutes), a ballroom with a sprung dance floor at the foot of the town’s Victorian tower. Blackpool is home to the Sandcastle Waterpark (10 minutes), which has over 18 different slides of all shapes and sizes. At Lowlands Farm Alpacas (five minutes), go on a stroll with some of the good-looking alpacas. If you've got kids who need to let off steam, you may want to plan a visit to the Ascent Trampoline Park Blackpool (five minutes). Keen skateboarders can tackle the ramps at Ramp City Skatepark (five minutes). While there’s plenty to do in and around Blackpool, perhaps you’d like to branch out with some birdwatching at RSPB Fairhaven Lake Visitor Centre & Shop (15 minutes) or RSPB Hesketh Out Marsh (50 minutes) and hikes in the Forest of Bowland National Landscape (from 25 minutes).
