  • 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.

Caroline H.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked This is a real hidden gem; we booked on for one night at the last minute and will definitely be back. Hassle free and very well organised, spacious flat pitches, and spotlessly clean facilities. Great location in terms of the nearby Bell and Bottle pub and garage shop opposite, and lovely and quiet onsite. Recycling in operation and the added opportunity to buy fresh veg, eggs and plants. To top it off, the host Andrew is a real gentleman - attentive and helpful, makes you feel right at home. Thank you! :)

Disliked There is nothing to dislike about this site.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Proper friendly welcome, really peaceful site. Toilets are more than adequate, and a new shower block is under construction, looked like it would be finished fairly soon.
Also needed a 13mm spanner to fix something on my old vw bus, Andrew was only happy to have a rummage through his toolbox to find one for me, bonus :) Oh, and the bell and bottle do decent grub, and usually get a discount if you get the app.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Lovely owners, and peaceful site. Easy access to Blackpool. The best sunsets too. The toilet block is very clean. We stayed during New Year so didn’t use the shower block as it’s an open style one but I bet it’s amazing during summer.

Disliked Not much to do on site, but this didn’t stop us from enjoying our time there. Bit of road noise when all is quiet.

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. If you prefer to be out in the fresh country air, you 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) also makes it a complete doddle to reach the walking and cycling routes of the southern Lake District National Park (55 minutes) or the Forest of Bowland National Landscape (40 minutes). Other intriguing options for outings include Ribble Steam Railway & Museum (10 minutes), the half-timbered (and possibly haunted) Samlesbury Hall (20 minutes) and the impressive beasts of the Owl & Bird of Prey Sanctuary (20 minutes).
