Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: The campsite is perfect for us, dog friendly, adults only making it a lovely, calm and relaxing site. Good pitch size not over crowded, well looked after field. Toilets are clean with a luxury touch. The owners come around every evening offering campfire wood and fire pit. Looking forward to our re-visit.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike

Liked: A relaxed check-in process, just turn up find a spot and text the owners. Lovely location with beautiful surroundings. Great place to start a number of walks of the area. Toilet facilities were sufficient and clean. If we'd been staying longer, a shower would have made all the difference.

Liked: Loved our one night getaway here. Beautiful evening watching the sunset by the fire. Peaceful surroundings with a few ponies for company. Silent night… best sleep for a long time bizarrely! Woke up to clear skies and a gorgeous sunrise. Owners were friendly and helpful and the Toilets are insta worthy and very clean. Thanks for a great stay, we will be back x

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Lovely small almost wild camping field. Level pitch and camp where you like. Friendly owners lovley clean toilets and fresh drinking water tap. Lots of nearby walks, very close to Anglezarke and Rivington with Nabs Hill on the door step. Horses and Shetland ponies in the adjoining field.
Disliked: Over priced at £25 per night for one person in a small tent and with no showers, so would not stay for more than 2 nights if I went again. Slight background noise from nearby motorway. Hired fire pits too small which sat flat on the ground leaving burned patches all around the field.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Had a really nice stay here. it's very spacious and relaxed. Just about walkable from Chorley train station with loads of gear (there is a bus stop much nearer). Fantastic walking nearby. Great to have the option of a fire pit, in fact probably essential for me on Sunday night as I was completely soaked through including my only pair of shoes! Very friendly owners.
Disliked: This is such a small thing, but the paper towels in the toilet ripped if you had wet hands and it was difficult to pull them out singly. Would probably save money overall to get better quality ones as I had to pull out a wad at a time which wasted a load.
