  • 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.

Liked Location and access to the motorway and the site in general. Good restaurant and bar.

Disliked There is no motorhome service point if you’re not geared up for a super pitch with waste pipe to connect to the grey waste drain then it’s all empty by bucket.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The actual site was immaculate, toilets/showers etc, peaceful place in the daytime, lovely to walk round too see the cows/sheep/ducks ,gorgeous views, restaurant/bar was brilliant too, great with water taps and bins for dog bags were handy. Staff friendly, Walk along the river wyre at the back of the campsite to and from the restaurant was lovely. A duck had laid an egg by our tent which we were fascinated with.

Disliked The train line /motorway noise was quite loud at night, we did get alot of disturbed sleep, also the electric pilelon above you could hear too, don't notice the noises in the daytime only at night, Pitches are on a slight slope and not so level in parts, grass was bare in some areas.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovelly clean site,nice bar and restaurant,good area for visiting blackpool,fleetwood etc.

Disliked Shower block too far away from touring site.noisy with trains running all night and ducks quacking from 4 am onwards.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for leaving your review. We are sorry some aspects were not to your liking. Unfortunately we can do nothing about the trains as it is the main line between Scotland and London even if they are 2 fields away across the river. The distance from the tenting field to the shower block is approximately 200 yards but we appreciate it is not near the bottom of the park. The ducks do wake up as it gets light and will make their presence felt.

Perfect site, amazing staff and a good park for kids

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Friendly and helpful staff, pitches are nice and love the nature such as the ducks near pitches.

Disliked We were without electric for some time because of an issue, finally sorted. The showers were cold. The pub was nice inside but only opened for one day of our stay. The noise on the pitch from the overhead pylons, the M6 motorway and the railway was constant through the night and was really loud. Also some of the roads at the bottom of the site are not suitable for caravans

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We thank you for taking the time to review our park and note your comments, unfortunately the issue with the electricity was due to another caravan on site and we resolved it as quickly as possible but understand your concern over this. The pub is closed on a Monday so unfortunately this must have been one of your days on site. With regard to the noise it does seem to depend on the direction of the wind whether you hear anyting but understand your issues on this. We do wish you all the best for your future holidays.

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.
