  • Family-owned park on the banks of the River Wyre
  • Carefully landscaped wildlife haven with over 5000 trees
  • Four well-stocked and well-maintained fishing ponds
If you're a sucker for a place with a bit of family heritage, have a look at Claylands Caravan Park. The Robinsons have owned Claylands for more than 50 years, when it was a simple 14-acre farm; since then, it’s been transformed into a landscaped holiday park, while keeping an edge of wilderness. This lush place is on the banks of the River Wyre, surrounded by more than 5000 indigenous trees and in a haven for wildlife and birdwatching: look out for squirrels, foxes, deer, rabbits and around 85 different species of bird. On site are carefully pruned hedges, shrubs and trees, loads of green space, and excellent amenities including a modern shower and toilet block, a laundry room, and drinking water taps and waste water disposal points all around. Anglers will be well chuffed with the four well-stocked and well-maintained fishing ponds, abundant with roach, carp and tench: to be in with your fishing chance, arrive with your kit and the appropriate licence, and pick up a day ticket from the family team. Other facilities on site include a handy shop for the essentials, as well as a kids' adventure playground swish enough to make grownups green with envy. Light snacks and homemade meals can be had at Stepping Stones Riverside Bar and Restaurant, just adjacent to the park (open Tuesday-Sunday all year round), which has a takeaway service, pretty views from inside the restaurant and a spacious garden for dining outside.

What customers say

Friendly staff, great pitches & facilities. Pub's a winner! Kids love the playground & river. A bit of M6/train noise, and loos can be a trek from some spots. Management’s on top of issues.

Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site

Liked Good access from M6
4 fishing ponds to choose from but I only fished in 1 of them so can't comment on them all.
Owners very helpful and friendly as were regular caravan owners on site and other tourers.
Pub on site reasonably priced, small menu, which is all you need but the breakfast was excellent.
Showers/toilets very clean. Hot showers. Pot washing area and laundrette.
Grounds very well maintained. Bins round the site emptied regularly.
Wi-fi intermittent but not a major issue.
Good playground facilities for children.
Beautiful river walk.
Nice safe, secure site

Disliked Just points to note, wasn't an issue for us but may bother others.

Other feedback mentions the pylon, not a problem for us- yes it crackles but we need electricity!!!
Frequent trains going past, soon get used to it.
Need hard ground pegs for awnings if you are on a touring pitch with gravel.

From the manager: Thank you for leaving your review. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for leaving your review. We are sorry to hear you felt your pitch wasn't good. You were placed on a fully serviced pitch overlooking one of the fishing ponds which is in a very nice position. If you visit again please call to make a booking and we can place you on a pitch of your choice if it is available.

Lovely site, easy access from M6 and good location to tour the area.

Disliked Nothing major, but toilets a bit far from pitches, got really busy at weekend (which is great) but the roads at the touring pitches did get busy with all the cars packed up.

Local attractions

You’ll find postcard-worthy surroundings all about Claylands. Water fans can meander along the winding banks of the River Wyre (so winding in fact, this is how the river got its name) and take a stroll on the river’s footpaths; Lancaster Canal is also nearby for lazy waterside ambles. The good news is that the river really is right on the doorstep at Claylands, so all you have to decide is which way you want to go. (If you’re really stuck, the staff on site will be more than happy to point you in the right direction, and reception is full of information leaflets and people ready to share their local knowledge.) Or you could just amble about snapping shots of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty... The market town of Garstang, five minutes' drive from Claylands, is an excellent option for this latter, as its whitewashed cottages, uneven streets and country drinkeries may make the imaginative feel like they're in a Jane Austen novel. Further afield, Blackpool is half an hour away, and both the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales are reachable in under 40 minutes.
