What customers say
Highly recommended, peaceful, spacious adults-only campsite. Friendly owners, spotless loos, great for country walks. Camp anywhere, fire pits provided. Some minor motorway hum, but mostly a chill spot for a quiet escape.

Liked Campsite was lovely. Really grateful for the 'no noise' policy, which ensured it was a relaxing stay. Toilets were kept really well and the location was fab - off the beaten track but a 30 minute walk to Chorley town centre. Will definitely come back again.

Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Lovely adults only site, nice views and good location for pubs/ shops and good walk.
We loved watching the family of horses in the next field. Small toilet block was very cute and always clean, no showers but for a weekend not a problem.
Owner was very nice and helpful.
Will definitely return
Disliked As some people have said you can hear some noise from the motorway but after a short time you get used to it and it just fades into the background. It didn't bother us at all and you could bring earplugs for nighttime.

From the manager: Hi Michelle, we’re so pleased you had a great stay, and really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. Thank you! 🤩
It was a lovely site and for £25 (plus £
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Lovely setting really. Great location, good amenities and very visible fire safety in case the worst happened. Price was very good (£25 + £5 for the gazebo) and the facilities (proper loo and basin in the toilet block) were just right making it great value for money. Field was large enough to accommodate plenty more tents/camper vans and still feel open and tranquil. Was very peaceful sat having a coffee in the morning. I would definitely consider booking a stay here again. Its distance from major transport links could mean of you were doing a long trip from the south coast to Scotland, you add a pleasant night here to break up your journey for sure. Would also consider it a base for a few days to explore some of the surrounding countryside. All in all we had a lovely stay and I for one would stay again.
Disliked Nothing really. Little bit of background hum from the nearby M61 but nothing too overpowering. I always have ear plugs when camping anyway so that overcame any issues. The only possible addition it might benefit from would be a little shower block to help you feel completely refreshed but as our stay was short and the price was low it’s more of a future consideration rather than any real dislike.
