  • 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

Poplar Grove Farm gets top marks for spotless facilities, roomy pitches, and great staff. Visitors love the clean, modern washrooms. The peaceful vibe, play area, and fishing lake make it a family hit, and the farm animals are a big draw for kids. Most stays are fantastic, with only minor notes on occasional guest noise or small updates needed.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Really enjoyable stay. Brilliant children’s play area. Lovely pond for fishing. The facilities are the cleanest I’ve ever seen for a campsite. Absolutely faultless trip!

Disliked Nothing I or we didn’t dislike. There doesn’t appear to be many non electric pitches but that isn’t a complaint!

Liked The shepherd's hut was quaint and well looked after, the alpacas ducks and chickens made us smile and toilet block was clean and site felt quiet and safe for young kids.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Really well kept, clean and tidy site. Toilets were being constantly attended to. Check in was easy and painless. Nice and open for the kids and right next to the park so we could see them from the tent. Plenty to do in the surrounding area also.

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.
