  • Peaceful pitches on a working farm just outside Stalmine
  • A 20-minute drive from Blackpool and half an hour from Lancaster
  • Dogs welcome on site; local pub 10 minutes' walk away
It’s all about peaceful times at Pointer Farm Campsite, a spacious site on a working farm in the Lancashire countryside just outside the village of Stalmine. This is a place to pitch up (with dog in tow if you’ve got one) for great rural rambles followed by evenings spent sipping real ale or dining on tasty meals at a country pub. It’ll take you 10 minutes or so to wander down to the local hostelry, but if you don’t fancy venturing that far you’re welcome to light up a barbecue for open-air dinners on site instead. Being out in a proper rural location means plenty of space and quiet around this site – but this site isn’t quite as remote as its surroundings might suggest. A 15-minute drive gets you from the farm to Poulton-le-Fylde and it’s only a little further to the bright lights of Blackpool (about a 20-minute drive in total). The bus stop in the village means there’s also the option to get down to the coast using public transport if you’d rather leave the car behind. Back at the farm, facilities are simple but well kept: the smart modern facilities block has unisex toilets and showers along with a washing-up area, and there’s also free wifi so you can keep in contact with the wider world.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Quiet well laid out site with grass next to pitches. Nice new hedging. Individual water tap next to electric plug in. Very well lit and nice toilet shower and wash up facilities. All very clean.

Disliked: Would benefit for a few more coat hooks - i.e. in toilets. - especially when floor damp. Perhaps a folding chair in one shower for those with mobility issues.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Toilets/Showers are mixed gender which I found great being the only adult with both female and male children. We found them Clean and tidy too and heated to a nice temperature. Option to order fire pit with comes with enough logs/kindle/fire lighters and matches for a couple of nights. EHU hard sharing pitches are nice a big with a light and drinking water tape all on your pitch. Wi-Fi password in inside toilet block on door. Information on local facilities on board outside toilet block. General Bins (big bin) and BBQ ashes (small single bin) are outside barrier on entrance. Nice a clean site and no real noise other than the cows in the field next door. BBQ permitted off the ground but no disposable ones.

Very good site to use as a base and chill out.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Great communications, received access code and pitch details the day before. I liked that we could leave the car at the site and catch the bus from the end of the road and explore the area. Loved that water was on our really large pitch. Lovely and warm in the shower/toilet block.Can't wait to come back.

Disliked: Nothing.
