  • Adults-only Lancashire campsite close to the attractions of Blackpool
  • A 20-minute drive to Blackpool Pleasure Beach; 55 to the south Lakes
  • Farm shop on site; a pub within five minutes’ walk, a shop 10 minutes
If you’re looking for a restful adults-only location for a Lancashire camping break close to one of the most famous seaside resorts in the UK, then Norcross may be the very spot for you. Approached by a rural lane, the grass pitches are on a level field sheltered by trees, yet this secluded camping field is just 20 minutes’ drive from the bright lights and mega-attractions of Blackpool. In fact, Norcross is close to lots of places: you can be ordering a pint in the local pub within five minutes’ walk, or carry on to the village of Newton with Scales (10 minutes’ walk) for a basics shop, cash point and post office. Hop in the car and head to the market town of Kirkham (five minutes’ drive) to pick up bits and bobs in the supermarket or bag a takeaway, while a 20-minute drive will see you in Lytham St Annes for beach walks, a Victorian pier and playing golf on a prestigious links course. Amenities on site are straightforward: a couple of loos and recycling facilities, but you can buy fresh eggs for a hearty breakfast fry up, seasonal fruit or veg and plants from the owners’ farm shop – they also run a smallholding with sheep and free-range hens.

What customers say

Norcross is a quiet, adults-only site with spacious, clean, mostly level pitches, often with hook-ups and water. Guests love the friendly owners, spotless washrooms, and peaceful vibe. Great location for local exploring, near a bus and pub. Note: toilet cubicles are small, and the entrance sign could be clearer.

Pete R.

FHU grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Everything about the place was brilliant. Annie and Andrew were the best hosts you could ask for. They were very knowledgeable and helpful. The site its self was spotless and it was so nice to have soft grassed ground to put your tent pegs into. There was a little honesty hut with fresh eggs and vegetables to purchase. The toilets and the showers were clean and tidy and you can see that they are still making improvements. We would definitely recommend this site and will certainly be returning.

Jacqui L.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite (two person)

Liked Such a lovely little site, back to basics, peace and quiet and just listening to the wildlife. Perfect.
And also a big thankyou to Lee for helping with our tent while storm floris was visiting 😊

Disliked Could maybe have a wash room, when the site is full 2 toilets and no separate washing facilities might’ve been a struggle, wouldn’t put us off returning though.

Local attractions

Blackpool (20 minutes’ drive) is the main event here, and the family attractions come thick and fast: daredevil rollercoaster rides and spectacular musicals at the Pleasure Beach, snorkelling with sharks at Sea Life Blackpool, and encounters with royalty at Madame Tussauds. That’s just for starters though; don’t neglect the 4D movies and panoramic views from the Blackpool Tower Eye or miss the chance to see rare Bornean orangutans at Blackpool Zoo. Children keen to see more wildlife? Try flying displays by protected raptors at the Owl and Bird Of Prey Sanctuary (20 minutes) or introduce younger kids to the friendly alpacas and ponies at Farmer Parrs Animal World (half an hour). If you prefer to be out in the fresh country air, active families can have a rip-roaring run around on the inflatables at Blackpool Wake Park (15 minutes). Easy access to Junction 3 of the M55 (10 minutes’ drive) makes it a complete doddle to reach the walking and cycling routes of the southern Lake District National Park (55 minutes) or the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (40 minutes).
