Do not use, what a waste of £25.
Pennine electric gravel and hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked Nothing.
Disliked Awful facilities. Toilets dirty, shower dirty. All we stopped for was a decent shower and we couldn’t have one. In the dark nothing was clear or signposted.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch (small)
Liked Very friendly site who are considerate of clients. Set up a pop up bar for the evening to give some rest bite from storm David. Van got stuck on grass pitch ground following day and Rick was quick to give a hand. Offered a hard standing following eve to help even though I hadn’t booked this option. W/C was clean, site quite and convenient to find 5 minutes to motorway.
Disliked Nothing

Would never stop here again
Pennine electric gravel and hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked Not a lot
Disliked Our pitch was parked up against a wall(lovely view) no where to walk the dogs so don’t know why you charge extra to take them, very cluttered around the area with rubbish, noisy with kids running riot around the site un attended… knocking on our door asking silly questions whilst parents in the bar getting tanked up… I was so grateful for the storm last night so the kids wasn’t left out till daft o clock.

From the manager: Hi Jenny, thanks for visiting. We are sorry you were not satisfied with your pitch. We were not made aware of any of your issues, so are saddened we were not given the chance to assist you. At check in you asked about a dog run and we directed to a large fenced space. We also benefit from a public footpath that runs through the farm to the deer field, quiet country lanes, and the lancaster canal with its towpath. We pride ourself on being litter free but the storm may have caused issues with guest rubbish the day after. I am aware that some guests had been to the nearby Blackpool zoo and got a teddy capybara, which had gone missing and they made enquiries at all pitches, their parents to my knowledge were in their motor home all evening. Look out for our Adults only weekends on our social media.
