  • Family-run 10-acre farm site with woodlands just outside Blackpool
  • A 25-minute drive to Blackpool Wake Park and Blackpool Zoo
  • Logs available to buy; firepits and barbecues permitted; shop nearby
Everything outdoorsy runs strong at Bowses Hill Farm, a family-run dog-friendly site with the tender touch of owners George and Charlotte, two big nature and outdoors lovers. It’s certainly nature-packed here, as the 10-acre farm is in a rural patch outside of Blackpool, and it has opened up its land for like-minded, keen explorers to get back to nature within the woodlands. You’ll be going down a privately owned lane, tucked away… and once you're on site, there’s a nice mix of the homely and the wild. The owners want you to really appreciate nature, so an afternoon may look like wildlife spotting, den-building or searching for hidden tree drawings in the woodlands – or perhaps getting your hands dirty with some bushcraft activities or picking up wood and logs for a firepit. The site still has cosy creature comforts though, including a smart toilet/shower block. There are logs available to buy from the site so that you may get a fire or barbecue going for some wild cooking, being sure to be mindful of their location, away from other guests and disposed of correctly. This is a wildlife haven with a peaceful stay in mind, so guests are asked to be respectful of the woodlands, leaving them unruffled, and noise levels must be kept down after 10.30pm to ensure little visitors and tired guests can get a good snooze. Conveniently, the local shop is just five minutes’ drive away from this site, so it’s easy to get your hands on more logs or other essentials ready to get exploring.

What customers say

A family-friendly site with a chill vibe. Praised for spotless facilities, playground, and farm critters. Staff are a hit, as is woodland camping. Parking and shop access can be tricky. Animal/guest noise sometimes noted. Great for quiet family breaks.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked We liked the animals and the playground though it may need a little TLC. In another area there were bits of wood to make a den. The wooded area was nice. The toilet block/washing up area, etc. was good. We really appreciated that when we asked, as we were only there for one night, to leave slightly later the next day this was agreed. We enjoyed visiting Knott End on Sea

Due to my noise and firepit order not arriving we came home day early

Liked The pitch was OK nothing like the picture advertised

Disliked Think this place is quite new . So plenty things need improving the view from the motorhome pitches are quite bad . Bit of tidying up be OK. Expensive for what it is . You have to ring a number when u land on site . Personally I think being greeted is much better .

Primitive grass tent campsite (woodland, wild)

Liked Fantastic site with woodland area which is perfect for wild camping. Even better that you can have campfires and barbecues. Just what camping is all about. Great facilities too. Loved the animals on the small farm too and the play area.

Disliked The cockerells wake up call at 4am and the ducks are noisy throughout the night, too, but to be expected on a farm.

Local attractions

You may know Blackpool for its seafront and 19th-century Central Pier (half an hour’s drive) complete with a funfair, but the attractions certainly don’t end there. You might have a hard time deciding between catapulting down waterslides in Sandcastle Waterpark (35 minutes), dropping from heights at Blackpool Pleasure Beach (35 minutes) or playing like a prisoner on the theatrical rides in the The Blackpool Tower Dungeon (half an hour). Water ready too? Blackpool Wake Park (25 minutes) has an aqua park where you'll be able to get your bounce on. Watersports are on full throttle here too, with everything from wakeboarding to kayaking. St Annes beach (40 minutes) will keep up this spirit too, as the sandy stretch is a hotspot for windsurfing and kitesurfing (and donkey rides, in typical seaside style too). To wind things back down, the town has a few spots for a more leisurely pace. Perhaps a tour of the enclosures in Blackpool Zoo (25 minutes), getting up and close with the wax figures at Madame Tussauds (half an hour) or seeing what life looks like underwater at SEA LIFE Blackpool (half an hour)?
