  • Peaceful, isolated site on a secluded Lancashire farm
  • A half-hour drive from Blackpool beach and Forest of Bowland
  • Simple grass pitches down a long farm track, 10 minutes from the M6
Oh to be on a peaceful, secluded spot in the lovely Lancashire countryside, with forests, the Lakes and big cities not far off… such is the atmosphere at Moss Rose Campsite, a relaxing site about 10 minutes’ drive from the M6 and half an hour north of Preston. This is a splendid spot for those who’d like a bit of peace and quiet – pitches are on a simple grass field well away from any neighbours. You’ll have to travel down a long farm track to get here (it’s rather rough and bumpy, so take it slowly) but the reward is a spacious and secluded stay on a small traditional family-run working farm with views out over fields of farm animals. (The owners describe it as ‘somewhat alike to The Darling Buds of May’, for those who remember such telly treats.) Because of those farm animals, dogs are welcome as long as they are well behaved and kept under control. Kids are also very welcome, and you’re able to set up barbecues for your evening meal (as long as you’re careful with them…) There’s a pub a couple of miles away if you fancy a pint or a bite to eat. Day trips around here might take you to the coast at Blackpool or Morecambe, inland to the Forest of Bowland or Lake District or for a bit of city action in Liverpool or Manchester, both of which are a little over an hour’s drive away (also making this site also a good place for city dwellers who fancy a quick escape without a long drive).

What customers say

Moss Rose campsite: a peaceful rural escape with spacious, well-kept pitches in a wildflower meadow. Praised for friendly owners, clean facilities, and honesty shack. Great for families with a play area & farm animals. Basic but improving facilities. Natural, quiet, highly recommended.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Loved the site .. pitches were large and spread out meaning lots of privacy.
The honesty shed was a little god send and fully stocked .. comes in handy.
Hot water for washing pots ..the site is clean and well looked after.
Toilets clean and tidy.
A little play park central for the little ones, very safe as you can keep an eye on them.
The owner is very welcoming and very informative.
This site is an hidden little gem .. tucked away nicely

Disliked nothing

Deep sleep sensory bell tent

Liked This place is absolutely incredible, we had the best time. It’s a lovely family run site and they are honestly the best hosts that can’t do enough for you. Always there for anything you need and any questions. They took a genuine interest in you and your stay. The site is amazing, loads of animals and a great play area in the middle for little ones and loads of space to run around. We had a great time playing jail in the little play house with my 3 & 8 year old. We stayed in both bell tent which were perfect and all got a great night sleep enjoying a bbq the 1st night and a fire then and take away from an Italian from Garstang the last night are our fire. I would 100% recommend this place to everyone and will definitely be returning. We visited Clevelys beach and arcade or 1st full day which is only about 40mins away and a great cafe call Illy’s. Then went to sandcastles water park 45 mins away before we came home with so much more we could have done too. Thank you so much for having us and we will see you again soon :) Amy

Liked We had a great stay at Moss Rose. Its a very peaceful campsite. Amazing views if the weather is right 😀. The owners are great. Really helpful and nice. Toilets and showers are clean and well kept. Love the little honesty shops for all the essentials. The walk through the little forest area is great. We will return soon. Thankyou

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked This was a really nice site, we stated about mobility issues so they put us on site 20 close by the toilets and shower
Owner came round daily to clean the a an chat to see how we were getting on
No WiFi as it’s in a field but got 5G so done everything needed like maps for days out

Disliked Some people not following the rules of dogs on lead or the quiet times unfortunately this ISNT the can’t sites fault but others visiting
Lots and lots of horseflies got bitten to death even with bug spray but again we are out in a field I assumed there would be some

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely site tucked away right In the middle of the countryside well away from any noisy main roads up a farm track. Excellent communication from hosts with easy to follow instructions, very friendly and accommodating, and easy to contact them via phone or text whilst on/off site. The honesty hut with cold drinks and snacks, and everything you need for a fire pit was a lovely touch, and at very fair prices.

Disliked If you are being a bit picky, the men’s toilet cubicle is a bit small, (if you are bigger boned) and there is only the one per sex, so may be more of an issue at weekends or during school holidays, but it wouldn’t stop us returning.

Local attractions

Before you get straight to your adventuring, there’s a farm shop and ice cream parlour called Wallings Ice Cream (15 minutes' drive) that will make sure your tummy’s well prepared for all the action. For action, the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (half an hour) is just the place - have a pedal between rural villages, picking up farm produce as you go. The Lake District National Park (45 minutes) has plenty more trails or watersports for those looking to get a dip in. But what about those city days out also? The bright lights of Blackpool (half an hour) are hardly far away, and for more sightseeing, Manchester (an hour and 10 minutes) and Liverpool (an hour and 15 minutes) make for some great day trips. If you’re a fan of the busy buzz and action Lancaster (half an hour) has museums and a city park or Morecambe (half an hour) has a splendid seafront… but for more wildlife instead, head to the Wild Discovery animal park (half an hour).
