  • Quiet, no-frills camping field with sporting facilities near Blackpool
  • A 40-minute drive to Blackpool Pleasure Beach or Ribble Steam Railway
  • Archery and rifle ranges on site; shops and takeaways 15 minutes’ walk
Combining views of the Lancashire fells with loads of sporting facilities, Little Tongues Leisure Park is a fitting base for activity-mad families. Near Poulton-le-Fylde, the no-frills camping field has a quiet, semi-rural location yet is only half an hour’s drive from the world-famous attractions of Blackpool if you all fancy a change of scenery. The campsite itself is set in a level meadow, sheltered by trees. As there is no electricity on the field, please bring torches and batteries from home for night-time trips to the spotless shower block (which also offers disabled amenities) – there’s a washing-up area just outside to keep everything neat and tidy back at your tent. There's also a salon site where guests can book in (with lovely views, of course). You can fire up your barbecue on site (bring one with you) and pick up essentials from the little shop in Preesall (15 minutes’ walk). There’s also a fish and chip shop and takeaways there, as well as a local pub (20 minutes) serving hotpots, steaks and Lancashire beers. And now for those sporting activities: both indoor and outdoor archery lessons are available, and Little Tongues has one of the longest air-rifle ranges in the north-west of England. If you’re camping in a group, you can book exclusive use of both ranges or organise archery games using foam-tipped arrows.

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: The field itself was lovely, and the views were great.

Disliked: No hot water in the sink for washing the pots, no hot water at all in the morning for washing pots And the sinks were dirty. There was three showers, but only one working. For £30 a night, don’t think that’s very good.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We are sorry you was dissatisfied with the showers, however it does say on pitchup.com that we only have 1 shower, as regards the washing up facilities they are cleaned on a regular basis, it's only the campers that use these sinks! To be fair you did book on at around 12 30 the day you wanted to come and rang me to say your camper was oversized but still allowed you to come, on the booking form it says you only paid £25? You say you paid £30? We do our upmost to please everyone that uses our campsite but unfortunately we can't and will never please everyone. Happy camping. Little tongues leisure

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Lovely owner helped me tighten my tent up, it was new so didn't quite have it worked out. He was so friendly as were the other staff we met. Lovely site, close to local amenities and basic but good facilities. It was a trial run for my smallest and I but will definitely be back.

Disliked: It was exactly what it said on the tin, if I had wanted improvements I'd of booked elsewhere.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Love this campsite!! It’s exactly what my son and I like! If you want a fully electric site with a club house, this isn’t for you! If you want a quiet site with super friendly staff this is the place for you!(although Rick’s a bit of a menace, he has a heart of gold and will do what he can to help you). The air rifle range is brilliant and organised very well with safety the number one priority. A Campfire is top priority for my son and I, Rick drops off the campfire, logs, kindling, a great service. Takeaways even deliver to the site :) shops just round the corner for supplies and the beach a few miles away! Perfect

Disliked: Nothing at all, love the place

Recommend to friends Visit again

Excellent. We would stay again.

Local attractions

The kids will likely love you forever if you let them loose in Blackpool (half an hour’s drive). There are daredevil thrills and spills on coasters at the Pleasure Beach, celebs to meet at Madame Tussauds Blackpool and Morecambe Bay views from the Blackpool Tower Eye. You can ride a vintage tram along the promenade or whizz down the indoor water slides at Sandcastle Waterpark Blackpool – both are ideal adventures for a rainy day. More family ideas include kangaroos, toucans and farmyard beasties to spot at Wild Discovery (half an hour), with rare breeds at Farmer Parrs Animal World (25 minutes) to enthral animal-mad youngsters. Jump on a steam-train ride on the heritage rail line at Ribble Steam Railway and Museum (40 minutes) or have a run around in bracing sea air on Marine Beach in Fleetwood (half an hour). You’re 50 minutes’ drive from yomping the fells of the southern Lake District, and if golf is your sport, there are plenty of golf courses within 40 minutes, including the hallowed championship links at Royal Lytham and St Annes Golf Club.
