  • Peaceful, isolated site on a secluded Lancashire farm
  • A half-hour drive from Blackpool beach and Forest of Bowland
  • Simple grass pitches down a long farm track, 10 minutes from the M6
Oh to be on a peaceful, secluded spot in the lovely Lancashire countryside, with forests, the Lakes and big cities not far off… such is the atmosphere at Moss Rose Campsite, a relaxing site about 10 minutes’ drive from the M6 and half an hour north of Preston. This is a splendid spot for those who’d like a bit of peace and quiet – pitches are on a simple grass field well away from any neighbours. There are quiet hours between 10pm and 8am, with guests asked to reduce their noise levels from 9pm. You’ll have to travel down a long farm track to get here (it’s rather rough and bumpy, so take it slowly) but the reward is a spacious and secluded stay on a small traditional family-run working farm with views out over fields of farm animals. (The owners describe it as ‘somewhat alike to The Darling Buds of May’, for those who remember such telly treats.) Because of those farm animals, dogs are welcome as long as they are well behaved and kept under control. Kids are also very welcome, and you’re able to set up barbecues for your evening meal (as long as you’re careful with them…) There’s a pub a couple of miles away if you fancy a pint or a bite to eat. Day trips around here might take you to the coast at Blackpool or Morecambe, inland to the Forest of Bowland or Lake District or for a bit of city action in Liverpool or Manchester, both of which are a little over an hour’s drive away (also making this site also a good place for city dwellers who fancy a quick escape without a long drive).

Unpowered grass campervan site

Liked: Our likes:
- John and Joe were really friendly and helpful. Really lovely people
- how every pitch is kept separated with long grass. It gives a more natural feel and keeps your pitch more private too.
- John told us wildflower seeds had been spread in the long grass which is lovely. We saw lots of butterflies and birds.
- the shower and toilets were kept really clean and were well looked after. This extends outwards - everywhere was clean!
- the honesty shacks! We didn't use them as we only came for one night, but if we were staying longer we'd have undoubtedly used them. I stuck my head into them just to be nosy and they were adorable and really well thought out. You could buy lots of basics as well as some treats, there was even a coffee machine and a freezer with ice lollies.
- everything is clearly labelled when using the facilities (e.g. drinking water! I've been to sites where it hasn't said and I've questioned which taps I should be using, not here!)
- microwave, charging point and fridge available (we didn't use but nice touch! If we stayed longer the fridge would have been really valuable)
- somewhere to wash up.
- lovely peaceful area. The facilities were a bit hidden so you didn't have the loos etc getting in the way of the view.

It's clear that Kelly, John and Joe have really thought everything through on the site. It's truly a lovely place and we will be returning.

Disliked: This isn't a dislike about the campsite because we genuinely have no complaints, but feel as though it's worth flagging as someone behind us obviously did the same thing (we saw them drive onto the campsite about ten minutes after us!) Put in the right postcode and Google still wanted to send us down a no access private road! This isn't the fault of Moss Rose obviously but in case it helps anyone, the way we got around it ended up being just typing 'Pilling' into Google Maps, going to Pilling and then typing in the postcode again. Depending where you're coming from, this may not be an issue but if you find yourself in the same situation, do the above!

Peacock Pod camping pod

Liked: Couldn't have been happier with our experience. Booked the peacock pod for one night with our young children and were blown away - the pod was cosy, clean, and comfortable, the facilities were immaculate and they'd even put some toys out for our kids which they loved!

There was firewood waiting for us on arrival and we brought some marshmallows from the honesty shack which was stocked with a range of items from sweets to pot noodles.


We loved our stay here and would highly recommend this site to anyone looking for a peaceful, clean, stress free camping experience with exceptional hosts wgo go above and beyond!

Many thanks - we hope to visit again soon!

Peacock Pod camping pod

Liked: The whole environment...it feels as if you're in the middle of nowhere and its lovely. We saw rabbits, deer, herons, sheep....

The peacock pod is situated in its own little area with gazebo and outside area full of fairy lights and beautiful little touches.

Facilties within the pod are ample [little fridge, tea/coffee making facilities, heater] as are the facilities within the campsite itself.

We were the only ones on site at this time of year which made it even better. Hosts messaged us near enough as soon as we'd arrived and were always there if needed.

Unpowered grass campervan site

Liked: We loved the woodland walk and the mown paths through the wild campground. It cruelly felt like we were closer to nature, also the ability to access anything you may need for your camping stay. Great for dogs and relaxing.

Unpowered grass campervan site

Liked: This is a lovely quirky site. I’ve never seen anywhere else like it. A very friendly vibe especially as the owners are so lovely and attentive. Got a really organic feel to it. Very peaceful. Facilities are basic but do the job well enough. Play area best suited to young kids is visible from virtually every pitch.

Local attractions

Before you get straight to your adventuring, there’s a farm shop and ice cream parlour called Wallings Ice Cream (15 minutes' drive) that will make sure your tummy’s well prepared for all the action. For action, the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (half an hour) is just the place - have a pedal between rural villages, picking up farm produce as you go. The Lake District National Park (45 minutes) has plenty more trails or watersports for those looking to get a dip in. But what about those city days out also? The bright lights of Blackpool (half an hour) are hardly far away, and for more sightseeing, Manchester (an hour and 10 minutes) and Liverpool (an hour and 15 minutes) make for some great day trips. If you’re a fan of the busy buzz and action Lancaster (half an hour) has museums and a city park or Morecambe (half an hour) has a splendid seafront… but for more wildlife instead, head to the Wild Discovery animal park (half an hour).
