Disliked: Too close to motorway. Toilets needs a bit more cleaning

From the manager: Hi there, and thank you for leaving us a review on Pitch Up. Really pleased you'll recommend Bowland to your friends and family, thats so kind. There is always a constant battle with leaves this time of year, they do love to blow in to the toilets area at any given opportunity! We'll make sure the grounds and maintenance team are extra diligent with this pesky natural phenomenon. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, we do hope to see you back at our pods at Bowland very soon.

Bowland camping pod
Liked: Quiet and clean spot. Showers and toilets were clean and tissue was always filled. Lovely place for fishing and playing hide and seek with the kids. Also electric and heater provided in the pods which was a pleasant surprise.

From the manager: Hi there Tessa - what a BBQ that is! I hope the sausages went on after the flames died down a little. Its great news we managed to get the toilet supply just right this time too! Thanks for letting other visitors know you really enjoyed your stay with us here at Bowland and I hope we get to meet you and your lovely family here again very soon.

Bowland camping pod
Liked: Pod was in a lovely setting and site was a good location for Morecombe & Lancaster. Had a heater if we needed it and electric sockets. Lovely picnic table overlooking one of the lakes.
Disliked: Showers/toilets were extremely unpleasant, very damp smelling, dirty and water too hot or too cold, no in-between. Son got scared as light kept going off every 5 seconds whilst taking a shower. No toilet roll for second night of our stay.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Hello Anonymous - Thank you for the feedback - you're right, the site really does have some lovely views, relaxing and surround by woodland and lakes. What a shame you didn't have the greatest experience with our shower block though. We'll raise this urgently with the maintenance team to investigate further. We don't have any record of a request to replace the toilet roll for you - we all know how stressful camping can be without loo roll, so this would have been a top priority to replace, had we known. We'd love to have you back at Bowland Lakes, hopefully putting this unfortunate, isolated incident with the hot water feed behind us.
Amazing place to relax, will definitely be back

Bowland camping pod
Liked: Tranquility of the place. It’s everything you need to wind down, relax and just soak up the nature. Pods are comfortable, surrounded by woods and lakes, space to park a car next to your pod. Bathrooms are clean and in close proximity
Disliked: Loved everything
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Hello Joanna, thank you for your lovely review of Bowland Lakes. Our first one too! Its such an understated little gem of a park, we love it too. Some find the woodland fishing lakes and the spacing of the lodges and pods a little too far apart, but for those that want a quiet, relaxing and uninterrupted getaway from it all, we think Bowland is just practically perfect. We do hope to see you again, it was a pleasure having you stay with us, thank you.
