  • Peaceful pitches on a working farm just outside Stalmine
  • A 20-minute drive from Blackpool and half an hour from Lancaster
  • Dogs welcome on site; local pub 10 minutes' walk away
It’s all about peaceful times at Pointer Farm Campsite, a spacious site on a working farm in the Lancashire countryside just outside the village of Stalmine. This is a place to pitch up (with dog in tow if you’ve got one) for great rural rambles followed by evenings spent sipping real ale or dining on tasty meals at a country pub. It’ll take you 10 minutes or so to wander down to the local hostelry, but if you don’t fancy venturing that far you’re welcome to light up a barbecue for open-air dinners on site instead. Being out in a proper rural location means plenty of space and quiet around this site – but this site isn’t quite as remote as its surroundings might suggest. A 15-minute drive gets you from the farm to Poulton-le-Fylde and it’s only a little further to the bright lights of Blackpool (about a 20-minute drive in total). The bus stop in the village means there’s also the option to get down to the coast using public transport if you’d rather leave the car behind. Back at the farm, facilities are simple but well kept: the smart modern facilities block has unisex toilets and showers along with a washing-up area, and there’s also free wifi so you can keep in contact with the wider world.

A tidy, tranquil farm site with excellent facilities & spacious pitches. Great for exploring Lancashire & Blackpool. Owners are helpful. Unisex loos & occasional grass/gravel gripes. Highly recommended, many plan return trips.

Helen P.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked We loved our stay at this campsite! It's incredibly quiet and peaceful, offering a perfect escape with the soothing sounds of nature. The small number of pitches meant there was plenty of space to relax and for the kids to play, and the facilities were always clean and well-maintained. The friendly owners and convenient location made our trip even better, with a nice little walk to a nearby pub and a short drive to Knott End, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, it's a great site we'd definitely recommend!

Disliked The only minor inconveniences were that the sign was quite small to see as you drove up and the washing-up sinks were high, which could be tricky for shorter people to use, but these were small issues on an otherwise fantastic trip.

Opted for the site as wanted to be close but far from Blackpool, and was perfect for what we needed. Would highly recommend.

Meghan E.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked What a lovely campsite. Quiet (except for the wonderful sounds of wildlife - cows, sheep and birds to wake you up in the morning!) peaceful, clean and tidy. There were lots of small planes flying overhead throughout the day which our children loved. The toilet and shower facilities were nice and clean, there are only 13 pitches so there is lots of space to play and the toilets/showers were never busy. The washing up facilities are great, there are 2 sinks with hot water to wash up. We were within 30 mins drive of 3 beaches (Fleetwood, Morecambe, Blackpool) and there are shops/pubs close to the campsite for food. We had a fire pit every night (we paid extra each day for the wood) and the owner was always happy to help. The WiFi was great, most of us didn't want to use our phones but it was helpful for those who did. Would definitely stay again!

Disliked The only thing we disliked is nothing to do with the farm or campsite. One camping neighbour on the fifth night smoked weed continuously one evening which just stank, it was our last night so we were a bit disappointed.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked The quiet site
The level pitches (we were hard standing electric)
The security
The cleanliness of the facilities

Disliked The showers - would benefit from having a seat/shelf to put things on.
The logs provided which were too big to burn effectively and we had to cut them down

Stephanie P.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked A great little site. I liked how small the site was with not too many pitches. Pitch sizes was good so you wasn’t on top of other tents. Lots of space to play games and kids to run around. The toilet and showers were always kept clean, it didn’t bother us that they were unisex either. Ideal location to catch a bus into Blackpool, not too far of a drive to Fleetwood either. A lovely friendly pub just 15mins walk from the site too. I do have one suggestion it’s not a negative just if your washing up you may want a step if you are a little short in the height department as the sinks are very deep and I struggled to wash up, least it got me out of doing it again. A great and friendly site we will definitely book again.
