Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Really clean, well kept campsite. Beautiful surrounding area. Perfect for visiting nearby towns and attractions.
Disliked Possibly could have a little more monitoring or a cut off arrival time as there was a family that pitched up late and were loudly setting up till midnight, but no big deal in the grand scheme of things.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Perfect location with easy access to both Clitheroe and Skipton. Beautiful views of Pendle Hill and Ribble Valley. Lovely peaceful site with generous pitches, spacious shared areas and well maintained surroundings. Owners are thoughtful, for example bringing round ice lollies for sale in the heatwave.
I would definitely recommend this site.
Disliked Minor point. The toilet/shower block is not the most modern, but they are perfectly functional and kept lovely and clean.
WiFi was poor

Oak camping pod
Liked Excellent site catering for everyone from the solo camper to families of campers and motorhomes.
Great facilities in the Oak pod which was well equipped, you really do just need your own bedding, and you're set.
It was clean, cosy with beautiful views.
We will definitely be back!
