  • Family-owned park on the banks of the River Wyre
  • Carefully landscaped wildlife haven with over 5000 trees
  • Four well-stocked and well-maintained fishing ponds
If you're a sucker for a place with a bit of family heritage, have a look at Claylands Caravan Park. The Robinsons have owned Claylands for more than 50 years, when it was a simple 14-acre farm; since then, it’s been transformed into a landscaped holiday park, while keeping an edge of wilderness. This lush place is on the banks of the River Wyre, surrounded by more than 5000 indigenous trees and in a haven for wildlife and birdwatching: look out for squirrels, foxes, deer, rabbits and around 85 different species of bird. On site are carefully pruned hedges, shrubs and trees, loads of green space, and excellent amenities including a modern shower and toilet block, a laundry room, and drinking water taps and waste water disposal points all around. Anglers will be well chuffed with the four well-stocked and well-maintained fishing ponds, abundant with roach, carp and tench: to be in with your fishing chance, arrive with your kit and the appropriate licence, and pick up a day ticket from the family team. Other facilities on site include a handy shop for the essentials, as well as a kids' adventure playground swish enough to make grownups green with envy. Light snacks and homemade meals can be had at Stepping Stones Riverside Bar and Restaurant, just adjacent to the park (open Tuesday-Sunday all year round), which has a takeaway service, pretty views from inside the restaurant and a spacious garden for dining outside.

What customers say

Guests love Claylands' spotless grounds and friendly staff. The restaurant and bar get a shout-out too. A few mention pitch-to-toilet distance, road/train noise, and shower water temp. Still, most would come back.

From the manager: Thank you for leaving your comments after your stay. Unfortunately although the pylon is away from the pitches is does sometimes crackle due to weather conditions. The railway is 2 fields away and the motorway even further behind a hill and trees, again these were well established before us.
The dates you were here the site was full and we are sorry standards were not met despite the facilities being cleaned 3 times each day. Heavy use and sadly sometimes little respect when being used can lead to them looking less than their best. We will check and clean more often.
Both dogs you have mentioned seemed to be secure from your comment and no other mention or concern from other guests with regard to their breed. It may of been helpful if this was mentioned to us at the time.

Great site, lovely facilities, family friendly. Trek to the toilet!

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Loved the location and having the river and pub on site was amazing!!
Also, having a park for the kids was a massive bonus.

Disliked Only issues were that the toilet and shower block was right up near reception and the tent pitches were the furthest away that they could have possibly been. We still had a great experience. Weather always helps! Had glorious weather for the whole weekend. Not sure I'd have enjoyed the trek up to the toilets if it was pouring down with rain!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for leaving your review. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay with us, The utility block is at the top of the park but probably a 2 minute walk from the tenting field. Unfortunately to build a block near the tents would cause massive earth works to put water, drainage etc. We hope you will visit us again in the future.

Quite a pleasant surprise awaits you!

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Great welcome on arrival and located pitch No 6, one of the 6 available for overnighters when it’s quiet. There are plenty of other pitches further in the site all nice and large when busier.
Bonus was a proper restaurant and a good bar.
Dogs allowed in the carpeted bar area to dine with owners. Evening meal excellent and good value.
Breakfast was available in the conservatory (no dogs) which has exceptional country views, make sure you have breakfast which was first class and quality ingredients and presentation excellent.
I work in hospitality in Central London in 5* hotels and this kitchen (Darren) gives them a good run for their money, well done. All staff that I met were genuinely very engaging and friendly.
Steff you would be catch for any of the London hotels front of house.
Whoever is training the staff here is doing an excellent job.
A refreshing experience and I will certainly be returning here, a real gem

Disliked Nothing, a very well kept tidy site.

Liked Excellent site, very close to M6 so convenient stop off on long drives. Very pleasant and helpful staff, well maintained site. Bus stop at the end of the lane means that you can leave your vehicle behind.
As it is so close to M6 the sound evident but only background noise and not intrusive.
WiFi was a bit variable but not a major issue.

Local attractions

You’ll find postcard-worthy surroundings all about Claylands. Water fans can meander along the winding banks of the River Wyre (so winding in fact, this is how the river got its name) and take a stroll on the river’s footpaths; Lancaster Canal is also nearby for lazy waterside ambles. The good news is that the river really is right on the doorstep at Claylands, so all you have to decide is which way you want to go. (If you’re really stuck, the staff on site will be more than happy to point you in the right direction, and reception is full of information leaflets and people ready to share their local knowledge.) Or you could just amble about snapping shots of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty... The market town of Garstang, five minutes' drive from Claylands, is an excellent option for this latter, as its whitewashed cottages, uneven streets and country drinkeries may make the imaginative feel like they're in a Jane Austen novel. Further afield, Blackpool is half an hour away, and both the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales are reachable in under 40 minutes.
