  • On 30 acres of landscaped park, with views over the Ribble Valley
  • Plenty of activities, play areas, pool, crazy golf, arcade and bar
  • Within easy reach of the Forest of Bowland, Pennines and Lake District
You might fall over when you clap an eye on Beacon Fell View, a family-friendly park in 30 acres of landscaped parkland with rather spectacular views over the Ribble Valley. Slap bang in the middle of Lancashire, the park is conveniently placed for day trips to Blackpool but within easy reach of the Forest of Bowland, the Pennines, the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales; golf, fishing and walks are all available close by too. Firmly family-friendly, Beacon Fell View keeps a considerate eye on many little (free) touches to jazz up your break: the indoor heated pool, the table tennis, the paddling pool for little squirts and the entertainment four nights a week in high season won’t cost you a red cent. Even more enticing for exhausted parents, you can send the heirs and heiresses off to the free kids’ club while you catch a match on Sky Sports or down a drink in the adults-only lounge bar. (A family bar is available on site too.) Amenities include hot showers (also free), a covered dishwashing area, launderette and a food shop, and kids can additionally live large at the indoor and outdoor play areas, crazy golf and arcade with amusements and pool table. Pitchwise, all is level, grassy and within five minutes’ walk of reception; guests have access to water points and can park their car by their pitch. For supplies, nearby Longridge has a well-stocked farmers’ market, a couple of supermarkets, two decent pubs serving good food and – quids in again for the kids – an outdoor adventure centre with everything from water orbs to fencing.

Camping pod (private bathroom amenities, no pets)

Liked: Friendly staff, clean camping pod, pool, playground and crazy golf

Disliked: Bar space was under used, especially in bad weather, speakers were too loud so couldn't understand what was being said during the quiz etc. Arcade was too expensive, need some 2p machines. Soft play was closed.

Powered gravel caravan site (small)

Liked: Nothing

Disliked: Very small pitches. It was difficult to know where the pitch started and finished which caused confusion when setting up as there wasn’t much room to begin with and there was just enough room for a camper van and a small awning. Very run down and filthy, we booked 2 nights over the bh but left the next morning because the toilets and showers were filthy and nothing for my daughter to do as everything run down or broken. The childrens play area was old and mostly broken. The arcade was pointless as nothing worked and just took your money which was really disappointing for my daughter. The family room was crammed with no where to sit so we didn’t stay. I didn’t dare use the swimming pool after seeing the state of everywhere else, even my daughter, who loves swimming agreed not to risk it. There’s no shop on site as advertised. I wouldn’t recommend this site and I certainly won’t be returning!!

Liked: Nothing

Disliked: Pitch site. We paid for a large site and got a small one. Our caravan didn’t fit and we were told to put it sideways. Potholes everywhere. Badly signed to pitches. Staff not helpful.

Liked: Not much really. The view was nice. Staff worked hard but not many of them. Swimming was good and life guard very friendly.

Disliked: Toilets. Showers Lack of toilet roll Tiny pitches Felt more like a car park than a pitch. Lacks a shop. A general smell of cannabis across the whole place.

Liked: Location ok

Disliked: A dirty camp that is crowded and very run down. Looks nothing like the website. Toilets were disgusting. No toilet paper. Floor was filthy. The whole weekend it was not cleaned. Needs a good overhaul to bring it up to date. Pitches too close and full of weeds and thistle. No WiFi available.

Local attractions

Beacon Hill Country Park and the Forest of Bowland are mere minutes away by car and both have miles of walking routes across a range of landscapes including woodland, hills and farmland. Climb to the top of Beacon Hill to see landmarks in all directions including Belvoir Castle, Lincoln Cathedral and the hills of the Peak District. Said to be the inspiration for Tolkien’s Middle Earth (which might make you want to furry foot it there immediately), the Ribble Valley has the 70-mile path the Ribble Way, shopping in towns such as Clitheroe or munching one’s way around the Ribble Valley Food Trail. The River Ribble is a big hook for anglers landing chub, barbel, trout and salmon. City day trips are in all directions too: the kids’ eyes will light up with a trip to Blackpool… and for shopping, the Trafford Centre and Liverpool One of Manchester and Liverpool respectively should empty your wallet nicely…
