Wardle Rigg Campsite

Syntes om Amazing views, unspoilt suroundings. Easy access to forest trails and hiking routes. Good for cycling. Firepits allowed, bring your own wood and water take your rubbish home.

Sunsets and sunrises- dark skies.

Back to basics for those that appreciate nature. If you need external stimuli, probably best not for you.

Syntes ikke om Narrow access road with some steep hills and bends.

Avoid in a North West storm- quite exposed site.

Syntes om Had to unfortunately cut my stay short due to a notification my house alarm was going off (typical) but Harry was an amazing and helpful host and I will be back to actually complete a stay in the near future.

Syntes om Lovely and quiet campsite with the most amazing views. Exactly what me and my partner were looking for when passing by the area with our dog.
The hosts were very helpful and quick at responding.

Syntes om The location is stunning, loads of space for walks and we'll spread out pitches.
I got there about 3ish, and managed to get a spot overlooking the beautiful views.
Super friendly hosts who personally came round to meet everyone.
Toilet was immaculate.

Syntes ikke om Could do with more than 1 x toilet, but understand this was only the 2nd night of the campsite being open.

If you want back to basics this site is perfect

Syntes ikke om Nothing to dislike about this site - it is exactly as described

Syntes om 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

Syntes ikke om (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.
