  • 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

A lovely, tranquil spot in gorgeous countryside, highly recommended. Owners are a gem – friendly & helpful. Spacious pitches for privacy. Clean loos & showers. 'Honesty shack' a treat. Great for families with wildlife & play area. Small tweaks needed for loos.

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

David S.

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.

Kirsty L.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The spacing. The natural surroundings and the owner/s. So polite, helpful and ensured your stay was as hoped for
There was an added bonus of the hen and her baby chicks in the honesty/rest area.
Everything about this site was what I love. There is no cramped feeling. No noise (aside from farmyard animals- which being a country farming lass, this was a better sound than hearing others on larger campsites) the peace and quiet and everyone respected the rules.
My dog loved the space too

Location- No road noise was heard other than vehicles coming onto the site.

Parking on pitch- this was perfect due to having had a hip operation 7 weeks ago so the walk to the car would have been difficult otherwise.

Disliked The blooming horseflies!!! Wow...not the camps fault though....just a time of the year and the type of surroundings.

Location-Not an issue to us but to others who are used to 2 wide roads and would expect that, the journey in is on single track roads to the campsite, which are somewhat up and down due to being on old salt plains. Passing places along the way so careful driving needed along the roads.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Excellent camp site with great facilities (toilets, showers, fridge, microwave, drinking water, honesty shop), Site owner very helpfull had time to chat to us when we arrived and made us both feel welcome. We had a lovely walk to into the village of Pilling we went to the local pub called the Elletson Arms which had excellent staff and we had a good cooked homemade meal and some drinks. A shop in the village across from the pub and a fish and chip shop. The site was very cleaned and kept to a high standard. We liked the honesty shop for getting drinks and firewood. We hired a bench and firepit which made the camping trip. We will definately be back again.

Disliked Horse Flies but it was just the time we visited with been horse fly season.

Liked It’s a very beautiful place to camp - calm and peaceful! Wildlife comes out at nighttime, there’s an owl that flys near by! The honestly shack is also very helpful if you forget anything at home, it has your essentials / little treats!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Rustic campsite, long grass with mown paths and pitches. Loads of wildlife, great facilities (toilets, showers, fridge, microwave, drinking water, honesty shop), lovely owners who can't to visit and were around on site to chat to. A few Wendy houses and slides for very little visitors, nature walks and farm animals to visit for older kids. All it was missing was a football pitch ;-)

Disliked Not the fault of the campsite but... Attacked by horse flies in the morning! Take bug spray and citronella, the bites are terrible!

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).
