  • 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.

Shepherd's hut (no pets, premium)

Liked Location - facilities - cleanliness -fishing lake - Shepherd huts facilities.

Stayed as two adults with 9/14 yr old children. Stayed in Premier huts - staff friendly and helpful and accommodation had everything we needed. For the amount of people staying the toilets and showers were amazingly clean and maintained. Like the info re nearby parks/walks and takeaways that deliver. Only 5 min drive into Garstang so location is good for a pub lunch. The site is recommended and we would re-book without hesitation. Fishing is £5 PPP/day and appears well stocked. Had plenty of small carp/large roach and even had the luxury of Alpacas at our side. Firepits are mid height so keep you warm at night - logs available to buy on site.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Lovely clean site, immaculate toilets and showers. Very peaceful. Good location for visiting Garstang and Blackpool areas

Disliked We pitched our tent on a slight slope (pitch 23) and it rained heavily on the first night. In the morning outside the tent was boggy and didn't dry out for the 3 days we were there everything was full of mud. We would stay again but pitch higher up in the field.

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.
