Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Pitch area was good and the showers were warm and clean. The local pub in Bolton by Bowland village was lovely. The site is easily accessible and I liked the non electric field where we stayed as there were no restrictions on where you pitched the tent.
Disliked Could have better pot washing facilities nearer the non electric field (no hot water), but the other pot wash place is in easy walking distance

Acorn Pod camping pod
Liked We stayed in the Acorn Pod Saturday - Monday.
Genuinely one of the best of these small cabin type things I’ve stayed in, great layout and design, clean and comfortable, with pretty much everything you need. The underfloor heating was the cherry on top, it’s good to know we could comfortably visit again in the colder months. The campsite is calm and peaceful, and the pod has stunning views of Pendle Hill. It’s a short walk to the nearby village, with lots of options available by car.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Second time here and, although much busier due to school hols, was still as good as the first visit in February and with better weather. Ideal location. Great local pub. The Bolton-by-Bowland circular is a lovely walk.
Great pitch sizes.
We were two people in a tourer and one in Acorn pod. We managed to pitch right next to the pod which worked out just perfectly.
Will definitely be back.
Disliked Nothing.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked The land, the view, the facilities, quiet after 10. Close to local pub. Peaceful, not crowded. Liked the unintrusive hosts though they were around and on hand when needed.
Disliked Would be good to have better recycling bins but maybe that's about the council waste policy.
