  • 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 Really lovely site. Perfect pitches a nice distance from other campers. Lovely facilities, toilets, shower and washing up area all spotless. Lovely owners, made sure we knew where everything was and if we had everything we needed. The small woods at the rear of the site was a fantastic viewing area for bats. Would definitely go again.

Darren S.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Absolutely beautiful site. The owners were amazing and really helpful. Each pitch was a small self contained little piece of freedom and brilliant for our first ever family camping trip. Everything was nicely spread out and each pitch was far enough away for the next that you couldn't hear anything from the other tents. Each pitch was surrounded by tall grass with newly planted trees and wild flowers with the pitch and "drive way" cut out in the middle.

The little honesty shop on site was amazing and supplied all the basic's that we needed/forgot. The also has Quails, Ducking's and chicks in come coups and a beautiful white Peacock walking around.

Some absolute beautiful scenery any my girls loved sitting by the campfire watching the bats flying over head at sunset. We were even lucky enough to see some shooting stars during the perseids meteor shower which my girls found amazing and have told everyone since. We even managed to see a Kestrel or two hunting and my girls loved watching it just hover in the air.

Our tent was a HI-GEAR Zenobia 8 Eclipse Tent with the HI-GEAR Habitat Universal Tent Porch measuring a total of 7m x 5.5m. Our pitch was more than big enough to accommodate our tent and our car parked at the entrance to our pitch as well as a large seating area with a campfire in the middle. There was even enough room for the girls torun around safely.

There was a small children's play area in the middle but this was just a few old outdoor plastic toys that had been repurposed but managed to occupy the kids for 10 minuets

Disliked The toilets were too small and compact especially for a larger fella like me.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked This Campsite is the best site I've ever stayed on. They are family friendly, children friendly, dog friendly. They have animals on show. They check on you often, they go above and beyond. My car broke down for me and they couldn't do enough to help me get going again. There is a honesty shop for everything you need from essentials, bbqs, wood, fire pits to snacks, drinks, marshmallows ect. There is animal feed so you can go feed the sheep, and a woodland walk. All pitches are spread out far enough to not feel over crowded.
The family run the site very well and always have time for a chat and can never do enough for you. There is a park in the middle of the site which accommodates all ages. I highly recommend this site for anyone with or without children at any experience level. Thank you so much for everything you have done for us

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).
