Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Nice spacious pitches, though chocks are needed. Lovely views all around. 2 showers and 2 toilets in both male and female blocks. A lovely walk to Bolton By Bowland from just outside the camp, village is stunningly beautiful with a nice pub. Great views of Pendle Hill. Would I visit Calder Farm again? Absolutely.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Large pitches, you get to choose your own. Surrounded by fields and views.
Disliked We have just spent Friday to Sunday, in what at first was going to be a lovely peaceful weekend. A motorhome turned up, one man and 3 kids, he proceeded to put loud music on and let the kids run riot. This continued all weekend, until 11.00 both nights. He had a friend staying in the cabin with two kids, and on the Saturday another fella turned up as a guest with his kids. Totally spoilt our weekend. We did complain to the site owners and they did respond quickly and speak to them. We know it’s not the fault of the site but these people had no consideration for any of the other guests who also were not happy.
There are no on site wardens only the owners who live in the farm house, maybe more site visits are needed.

Beautiful site!!
Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch (small)
Liked Absolutely stunning camp site! Super friendly owners too! Huge bonus that you get to wake up to the farm animals in the mornings. Ideal location in an absolutely picturesque village. 100% recommend! We spent the bank holiday weekend here last weekend in our trailer tent and everyone of us loved it ❤️
