Around the site

  • 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.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked So so much to like. What a wonderfully maintained site. Toilet facilities immaculate. Plenty of space for the children to play.
Each tent pitch was spacious and level. Would happily stay here again and intend to. Site was easy to find.
The alpacas and chicken run offered great attraction for the children.
Incredibly peaceful at the respectful curfew time of 10:30.

Disliked Very low pressure in the showers. Also, the bottles of hand wash was actually hand sanitiser, not great for sensitive skin, and no hand wash in the wall dispensers.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Will definitely come again and tell others

Dawn C.

Shepherd's hut (no pets, premium)

Liked The site is lovely and clean and is quiet most of the time. The toilet and shower facilities are good and are generally clean and most people clean up after themselves. The shepherd's hut was nice and clean

Disliked The steps up to the shepherd's hut needed replacing. It was advertised as 2 single beds and a double but was 2 doubles. The top bunk had no safety rail so not really suitable for children

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.
