Small family-run site with Ribble Valley views in Lancashire
A 20-minute drive to Gisburn Forest bike paths, Pendle Hill and Settle
Dog-friendly site with dedicated exercise area; pub 15 minutes’ walk

Keen to have a look at Lancashire and a sneaky peek into Yorkshire? Lurk for a while at Calder Farm for a peaceful break with views to Pendle Hill in the spectacular Ribble Valley. This is a scenic pitstop for exploring the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (10 minutes’ drive) or hopping counties into the Yorkshire Dales National Park (20 minutes). Sparkling clean facilities on this family-run site include a heated toilet block with disabled access to the showers and washing-up area. Barbecues are permitted (but not open campfires please), and you’ll need to bring your own firepit, although you can buy wood on site and picnic tables are provided on the tree-sheltered field. Stock up on barbecue supplies in the supermarkets of Clitheroe (15 minutes’ drive), and if you’re just not that into cooking on your Lancashire camping break, there’s a gastro-pub and microbrewery in the pretty village of Bolton by Bowland (15 minutes’ walk). Your family dogs are welcome to join you on the many footpaths direct from the site, and there’s also a dedicated dog-exercise area in a fenced field – the owners do ask, however, that dogs remain on a lead while around the site. And talking of animals, you’ll soon be firm friends with the horses and ponies grazing neighbouring fields.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Lovely tidy site as soon as you drive in, and you pick your own pitch which all have plenty of space. We picked so we could see the sunset from bed! Showers lovely and hot, and shower block very clean (and warm). Brill drive over grey waste, easy to access (this is a big deal if you’re a newbie!). Nice little walk around from the owner to check in around sun downer time, lovely personal touch. (Take your levelling ramps though, but this isn’t a deal breaker!)

Disliked: That we only booked one night!!

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Well run campsite, with good, modern and very clean facilities. Hard standing pitches were well spaced and very level, and good motorhome service point. Strong WiFi available across the site. Owners were very welcoming and friendly. Fantastic location only half a mile from Bolton by Bowland. Would definitely use again.

Disliked: Nothing- excellent campsite.

Local attractions

Families can get active on mountain bikes in Gisburn Forest (20 minutes’ drive), with trails for all levels of accomplishment, or follow the Pennine Bridleway (10 minutes) on cycle, foot or horseback. Try your hand at fly fishing for trout in Stocks Reservoir (15 minutes), or take in the moorland scenery of the Forest of Bowland AONB (10 minutes) on rambles across the fells. Fancy spending the day in North Yorkshire countryside? Head for the Yorkshire Dales National Park (20 minutes) to potter along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal on a barge cruise from Skipton (25 minutes), or yomp up Castleberg Crag from Settle (20 minutes) and be sure to have a look around its lively market if you’re visiting on Tuesday. Wander around the photogenic ruins at Bolton Abbey (35 minutes), and then have gentle ambles to the spectacular limestone cliff at Malham Cove (40 minutes). Once firmly back in Lancashire, follow the Pendle Sculpture Trail through Aitken Wood, or climb flat-topped Pendle Hill (both 20 minutes) and learn about the fate of the infamous Pendle Witches on the looped Walking With Witches Trail.
