Wardle Rigg Campsite

Líbí se We (my 7yr old and I, on our 2nd night away with our new van after being hardened tent campers for years) arrived around 7pm and quite a few vans and tents were already occupying the mown pitches at the far end but we parked a bit further back in rough grass along the side of the hedge/forestry.

Signage was for “wild camp” but I was expecting a sign for “Wardle Rigg Campsite” so was a bit confused by that but assumed we were in the right place…we were.

Very peaceful. Lots of space to not be on top of each other or hear each other. Lots of wildlife chatter. The sunset was heavenly.

Harry (I think his name was) was absolutely lovely, very welcoming and often seen around sorting the toilet out or welcoming newcomers. He was very keen to get our feedback to improve the site. Bank transfer or cash accepted. Signal not an issue as there’s a big mast nearby (not visible).

1x Composting toilet very clean and fresh. Regularly cleaned/emptied. Just could have done with 1 more as we had to wait a few times which wasn’t an issue but if it were busier, that could be an issue. Remember to bring your lantern torch to hang on the hook behind you in the loo, as it’s pretty dark (even in the daytime) but there are lovely fairy lights inside (just not very bright).

Views of the moors are absolutely great. £10.50 for the night - perfect!

Thanks for a great stay, we’ll remember this site as our first proper night in our new van!

Good luck with the site, Amy and Belle x

Nelíbí se (Disliked) The fact that I don’t live there!

The price has gone up to £20 already and then £40 for summer holidays and whilst it’s a lovely site, there’s nothing there to justify the price increase to £40. I couldn’t justify spending £40 on just a wild field (even for the view/peace) but would stretch to £20. The main attraction for me was the £10.50 price tag. There are plenty of other sites in similar areas that have water and showers for £40pn (not on pitch up).

You can only stay Saturday nights (for now). Could do with Friday night to not have to pack up and leave straight away and spend the day just relaxing or biking etc. 12 noon check out would have been good to just enjoy the peace a bit more and not be packing up to leave straight after breakfast.

No tap but that’s stated on pitch up so wasn’t expecting one but something to bear in mind if you’re camping here, as you need to bring ALL your water for cooking/washing up/washing/drinking etc. maybe that’s what’s coming for the 2 night minimum £40pn price in the summer? We’d struggle to manage without a tap for much longer than a night or two without having to pack up the van and drive to get more water for a family.

Feedback from my 7yr old : Could do with a mown area for kids to kick a ball around or run around without thistles and hard stalks to fall on.

Líbí se Amazing spot, very large field with stunning views. The owner was really helpful and friendly.
Toilet very clean.
Unfortunately I was unable to stay as I broke one of my tent poles!!! The owner offered to loan me aren't but by this time I was exhausted.
I will definitely be returning as it was truly beautiful and had such a relaxing feeling.
A big thank you

Nelíbí se It was very windy, not the owners fault lol. I will be taking a smaller tent for my next visit lol
