Hardstanding pitches

  • 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.

What customers say

Highly-rated, well-kept family site. Guests loved the peaceful rural setting, clean facilities (incl. new block), spacious pitches, animals, play area & fishing. Great for exploring the Lakes & Blackpool. Minor points: occasional noise, vending machine payment issues.

Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Good sized pitches, great shower and toilet facilities. Nice clean and tidy site. Easy check in and friendly staff. Ideal location with lots of places to see nearby.

Disliked Like many sites, lots of people who can’t stick to simple rules set by the site. Dogs off lead, unsupervised and we actually saw a dog fouling on the field where kids were playing whilst owners sat in their motorhome…weren’t watching it so didn’t clean up after it. There is a no music rule on site which many people ignored. This was not just visitors but seasonal pitches too. Didn’t spoilt it too much but just annoying when you stick to the sites rules and others can’t be bothered and think they don’t apply to them. Staff could do some patrols to make sure people stick to the simple rules. There was no WiFi available on site and mobile signal was non existent on several networks.

Ainsworth Park powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite (adults only)

Liked Nice level pitch. Not too far from the shower block. Friendly staff. Decent little fishing pond.

Disliked Poor water pressure at busy times in the showers.
1 tap covering 4 pitches so couldn't attach a water pipe.
The electric hook up point was miles away from the pitch so I had to go and borrow another 10m cable from reception.
No wifi/mobile phone reception very poor.
Only one Elsan point that was miles away from the pitch.
£10 per rod for fishing is very expensive.

Quiet, relaxing atmosphere with very helpful owners.

Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked 2nd visit to Popular Grove this weekend and once again it didn’t disappoint. Our first visit was during the opening weekend, this time we chose the Bank Holiday weekend and had another fantastic stay.
The facilities are excellent, pitches are a great size with hard standing and electric hook-up, and despite the site being very busy, the layout never made it feel overcrowded which was brilliant.
Really quiet and relaxing site with very helpful owners who are willing to help in any way they can.
The boy spent the full 3 days fishing and absolutely loved it. Fishing was £10 per day per rod and definitely worth it.
We’ll definitely be returning again.

Ainsworth Park powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite (adults only)

Liked An absolutely delightful site - Summer (owner) is so helpful and friendly and has certainly created an excellent environment. The shower/toilet block is lovely and liked the radio on in the background. Facilities kept very clean. The weather this weekend was exceptional which always helps - we were on Ainsworth area which was peaceful and liked the free roaming chickens. We had bikes with us and lovely rides around the area - took about 10 minutes to ride into Garstang. Will definitely return - Thank you Summer

Liked Nice pitch a bit narrow to get around to the pitch we were given but nice clean site facilities clean and fresh. We were in the back of the site adult only which meant peace and quiet which we needed. Loved the morning gathering of assorted fowl looking for a few crumbs. Definitely recommend this site

Disliked Narrow turn into adult only section

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.
