Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Location, next to the canal and a short walk to Glasson and another lovely pub near Conders Green called the stork, where food was great.

Disliked: Nothing apart from as already mentioned, the toilets are a really tight squeeze. However after talking to the owner's wife she says they are trying to upgrade the facilities soon.

Phil L. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Simple field, fairly flat, plenty of space. Bus stop right outside and Uber from Lancaster wasn't too much either.

Disliked: Toilet block is really basic. Shower unusable as toilet block door latched open and curtain only thing preventing you flashing the whole site. No hot water came through when I did make an attempt.
No accessible toilets

Recommend to friends Visit again

Overall good and would stay again :)

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Easy to find, nice and flat with all the basics you want, water toilets, shower etc. nice and close to walk to the local farm shop and ice creams etc. very friendly owner, really helpful

Disliked: We managed to camp on the one exact spot on the whole site that happens to semi flood when it rains so woke up in three inches of water…. Nobody else seemed to have the same issue so I’d recommend staying away from the middle of the tree line at the back and you should be fine :)

Local attractions

Keen to explore the local landscapes? Head to the coast for a day on the beach in Morecambe or a wander through the seaside scenery of the Arnside & Silverdale National Landscape; both are about 25 minutes' drive away. Inland, the Forest of Bowland National Landscape (20 minutes’ drive) is a great place for a walk, and also home to the Bowland Wild Boar Park (50 minutes). For a dose of history on your holiday, pay a visit to medieval Lancaster Castle (15 minutes) and the National Trust’s fabulous Sizergh (half an hour), with an imposing stately home at the centre of a 1600-acre estate. Those of you who love a few thrill rides will definitely want to make the journey to Blackpool Pleasure Beach (45 minutes), perhaps visiting Blackpool Tower, the zoo and the Sea Life Centre while you're there.
