What customers say
This peaceful campsite in a beautiful rural location offers spacious, well-maintained pitches with stunning views, particularly of Pendle Hill. Visitors frequently praise the cleanliness of the facilities, including toilets and showers, and the friendly, accommodating owners. Its proximity to picturesque villages and pubs is a significant draw. While most experiences are highly positive, a few guests noted that the limited number of showers and toilets could lead to congestion during peak times.

Would stay again, but would have concerns if it was busy on arrival.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Beautiful spot, amazing views and extremely peaceful. Lovely village 10 mins away with a nice pub and beer garden. Was lovely and quiet when we stayed (Sunday into Monday), but others had said it was extremely busy over the weekend, with every pitch full.
Disliked Not a dislike as such, but there are only 2 toilets and 2 showers in both the male/female wash rooms. It was fine for us as it was quiet but could imagine it being a bit busy with the site full. Only 2 pot wash sinks too could cause a queue when busy.
Toilets and showers were satisfactory, but needed a bit of a top up clean and probably a bit of a refresh in decor.
