  • Quiet site (no music or groups) in a rural location on a working farm
  • A 20-minutes' drive from both Blackpool and Lancaster
  • Forest of Bowland and Beacon Fell Country Park within 10 miles
You'll find reasons aplenty why this park is proving pretty popular with those seeking to pitch up in the north west: its position is pretty excellent, its vibe relaxed, and its team very friendly indeed. Poplar Grove Farm Caravan Park is a 160-acre working family farm, just 12 miles from Blackpool for those who like illuminating hols, and halfway between Lancaster and Preston for city sightseers. Even closer (and filled with pubs and restaurants), the old market town of Garstang is a couple of miles away on the River Wyre: river fishing ahoy… And for hikers, bikers and scenic view seekers, the unspoiled countryside of the Forest of Bowland and vistas of the Bowland Fells can be reached within 11 miles – or take yourself out into the surrounding Lancashire countryside: miles of walks and bike trails are all around. All guests have access to a modern toilet and shower block with facilities for washing your dog and their paws. The site also has a chemical disposal point.

Shepherd's hut (no pets, premium)

Liked: Clean and tidy. Friendly staff. Nice open space. Play area for kids. The huts were spaced out so you weren't on top of each other. The cabins themselves were very nice and comfortable. The showers and toilets were clean and tidy. You could buy eggs and logs on site. We loved it!

Disliked: There wasn't much 4g signal but we went to switch off and have a good family break where we didn't look at screens so this wasn't a problem. We played board and card games instead.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Lovely, clean, quiet site.
Very clean toilet/shower block, ladies had radio playing which was nice.
Undercover pot washing area with 2 sinks
2 vending machines - 1 x ice creams and 1 x sweets, chocolate, cans and bottles water.
Play area for kids which is ideal.
Fishing lake where you can pay £5 per day per adult/child.
Also boot and dog washing round the back of the toilet block.

Touring pitches were ideal size we had hardstanding gravel. You would need a long electric cable as the ports are in the middle behind the pitches.

Arrival time states 3pm-6pm, but I rang the day before to see if we could arrive earlier and was advised 1pm would be fine. Which was great 😁

Summer(owner) was very friendly and answered anything you needed.

Disliked: Only downside was the arrival and departure times for tourers. 3pm-6pm and depart 10.30am. Usually on touring pitches of other sites we've found you can arrive from 12pm and depart 11am or even 12pm sometimes.
I understand these timings on site accommodation that require cleaning for next visitors but tourers don't require this service so would expect different.

But as above we could arrive from 1pm so it wouldn't stop me booking again. Already looking for when we can book here again 👍😁

Local attractions

Garstang (the world's first Fairtrade Town, food fact fans) is a few minutes' drive or two miles' walk from Poplar Grove and comes with seven pubs and three restaurants; have a duke too at the ruins of 15th-century Greenhaugh Castle overlooking the town. The village of Scorton, three miles from base, has a pub, garden centre, café, and restaurant: if you're around during the May bank holiday, roll along to the Bike and Barrows Festival and the Scorton Music Festival for wheelbarrow racing, sheep racing and other shenanigans. To the east of Garstang, the old hunting ground of the Forest of Bowland is now an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty landscaped by moorland, fells and valleys, with endless opps for walking, cycling, fell running and wildlife watching (not all at once, and look out for the hen harriers…). The Bowland Visitor Centre, with info on the area's activities and events, is in Beacon Fell Country Park. A 20-minute drive will land you at either Blackpool (south east) or Lancashire's county town of Lancaster (north), with a fair good time to be had at the former and a load of historical sightseeing available at the latter. Preston is about 25 minutes' drive south. To investigate a bit further afield, the watery wonders of the Lake District are about an hour's drive away.
