  • Quiet site (no music or groups) in a rural location on a working farm
  • A 20-minutes' drive from both Blackpool and Lancaster
  • Forest of Bowland and Beacon Fell Country Park within 10 miles
You'll find reasons aplenty why this park is proving pretty popular with those seeking to pitch up in the north west: its position is pretty excellent, its vibe relaxed, and its team very friendly indeed. Poplar Grove Farm Caravan Park is a 160-acre working family farm, just 12 miles from Blackpool for those who like illuminating hols, and halfway between Lancaster and Preston for city sightseers. Even closer (and filled with pubs and restaurants), the old market town of Garstang is a couple of miles away on the River Wyre: river fishing ahoy… And for hikers, bikers and scenic view seekers, the unspoiled countryside of the Forest of Bowland and vistas of the Bowland Fells can be reached within 11 miles – or take yourself out into the surrounding Lancashire countryside: miles of walks and bike trails are all around. All guests have access to a modern toilet and shower block with facilities for washing your dog and their paws. The site also has a chemical disposal point.

Shepherd's hut (no pets)

Liked: Really friendly and accommodating. Site was really clean and well maintained, everything needed was available. I stayed in a shepherd's hut and it was beautifully decorated and cosy, I felt really at home for the weekend. Beautiful setting, I was able to stay in the countryside in the peace and quiet but still be at Blackpool pleasure beach in half an hour.

Unpowered grass site

Liked: A very lovely and nice setting camp park/caravan park. it was good for the mother and the kids who all really enjoyed it. there was something for everyone in our family that came. Partner went fishing, while the kids played on the park and me and the mother could go for a walk. supermarkets not far neither, which came in useful. very, chilled, peaceful weekend.

Disliked: Some others did not listen to the rules of the park, about only allowing noise between the correct times. children of others parents, was on the park before the correct time, disturbing others that are camping.

Camping pod

Liked: We loved everything about Poplar Grove farm. The farm was beautiful and the location was amazing. The camping pod was spotless and had so much space for all four of us and our dog. The kids loved the park and feeding the animals. The showers and toilet facilities were amazing and so clean and were so safe with the added cctv to see who was coming in and out of the facilities at all times. We really did have the absolute best time and we can’t wait to go back next summer.

Local attractions

Garstang (the world's first Fairtrade Town, food fact fans) is a few minutes' drive or two miles' walk from Poplar Grove and comes with seven pubs and three restaurants; have a duke too at the ruins of 15th-century Greenhaugh Castle overlooking the town. The village of Scorton, three miles from base, has a pub, garden centre, café, and restaurant: if you're around during the May bank holiday, roll along to the Bike and Barrows Festival and the Scorton Music Festival for wheelbarrow racing, sheep racing and other shenanigans. To the east of Garstang, the old hunting ground of the Forest of Bowland is now an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty landscaped by moorland, fells and valleys, with endless opps for walking, cycling, fell running and wildlife watching (not all at once, and look out for the hen harriers…). The Bowland Visitor Centre, with info on the area's activities and events, is in Beacon Fell Country Park. A 20-minute drive will land you at either Blackpool (south east) or Lancashire's county town of Lancaster (north), with a fair good time to be had at the former and a load of historical sightseeing available at the latter. Preston is about 25 minutes' drive south. To investigate a bit further afield, the watery wonders of the Lake District are about an hour's drive away.
