  • Adults-only Lancashire campsite close to the attractions of Blackpool
  • A 20-minute drive to Blackpool Pleasure Beach; 55 to the south Lakes
  • Farm shop on site; a pub within five minutes’ walk, a shop 10 minutes
If you’re looking for a restful adults-only location for a Lancashire camping break close to one of the most famous seaside resorts in the UK, then Norcross may be the very spot for you. Approached by a rural lane, the grass pitches are on a level field sheltered by trees, yet this secluded camping field is just 20 minutes’ drive from the bright lights and mega-attractions of Blackpool. In fact, Norcross is close to lots of places: you can be ordering a pint in the local pub within five minutes’ walk, or carry on to the village of Newton with Scales (10 minutes’ walk) for a basics shop, cash point and post office. Hop in the car and head to the market town of Kirkham (five minutes’ drive) to pick up bits and bobs in the supermarket or bag a takeaway, while a 20-minute drive will see you in Lytham St Annes for beach walks, a Victorian pier and playing golf on a prestigious links course. Amenities on site are straightforward: a couple of loos and recycling facilities, but you can buy fresh eggs for a hearty breakfast fry up, seasonal fruit or veg and plants from the owners’ farm shop – they also run a smallholding with sheep and free-range hens.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Stayed Bank Holiday weekend. Location is perfect for travelling into both Preston and Blackpool by bus. Kirkham is only 20 mins walk away and there is a great pub only 5 mins walk away. The owner was very friendly and helped us get towed from the field after the torrential downpour the night before we left. We will definitely stay here again when visiting the area.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Andrew, the owner, met us as we pulled up and explained that most of the field was far too wet to contemplate using it (July had been wettest month ever of the Lancashire area). He offered us a hard standing pitch or a pitch on the field that was well drained. We used the one on the field and it was perfect. The hard standing pitches and waste facilities looked very new, clean and tidy. Ok, as mentioned by other reviewers the toilets were dual sex but that was no issue. They also looked pretty new, were spotless and well stocked. Overall, great value for money and the location suited us and its close enough for trips to Lytham and Blackpool. It is about the first camp site for me where the owner took the time to check we were happy and all had been OK just as we packing up to leave. A nice touch really appreciated.

Disliked: Nothing

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Very friendly and helpful site owners, peaceful and very clean and tidy, conveniently situated location and easy to find. Kindly got towed out of the field after my van got stuck following about 2 days of continual rain (in July!!)

Disliked: Toilets cubicles were very clean and tidy but just a little small! - only a minor gripe though and wouldn’t stop me going back. Not a dislike as such and was made aware before I booked but felt the only thing missing from this site was a shower.

Local attractions

Blackpool (20 minutes’ drive) is the main event here, and the family attractions come thick and fast: daredevil rollercoaster rides and spectacular musicals at the Pleasure Beach, snorkelling with sharks at Sea Life Blackpool, and encounters with royalty at Madame Tussauds. That’s just for starters though; don’t neglect the 4D movies and panoramic views from the Blackpool Tower Eye or miss the chance to see rare Bornean orangutans at Blackpool Zoo. Children keen to see more wildlife? Try flying displays by protected raptors at the Owl and Bird Of Prey Sanctuary (20 minutes) or introduce younger kids to the friendly alpacas and ponies at Farmer Parrs Animal World (half an hour). If you prefer to be out in the fresh country air, active families can have a rip-roaring run around on the inflatables at Blackpool Wake Park (15 minutes). Easy access to Junction 3 of the M55 (10 minutes’ drive) makes it a complete doodle to reach the walking and cycling routes of the southern Lake District National Park (55 minutes) or the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (40 minutes).
