You might fall over when you clap an eye on Beacon Fell View, a family-friendly park in 30 acres of landscaped parkland with rather spectacular views over the Ribble Valley. Slap bang in the middle of Lancashire, the park is conveniently placed for day trips to Blackpool but within easy reach of the Forest of Bowland, the Pennines, the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales; golf, fishing and walks are all available close by too. Firmly family-friendly, Beacon Fell View has many little touches to jazz up your break: purchase a pass at the poolside to access the indoor heated pool and paddling pool. During the high season, there is entertainment every night, as well as children's activities from 10am to 1pm every day. (In the low season, the children's activities run on weekends from 12pm to 2pm instead.) Adults can use their kids-free time to watch Sky Sports or down a drink in the adults-only lounge bar. (A family bar is available on site too.) Amenities include hot showers, a covered dishwashing area and a launderette, and kids can additionally live large at the indoor and outdoor play areas, crazy golf and arcade with amusements and a pool table. Pitchwise, all is level, grassy and within five minutes’ walk of reception; guests have access to water points and can park their car by their pitch. For supplies, nearby Longridge has a well-stocked farmers’ market, a couple of supermarkets, two decent pubs serving good food and – quids in again for the kids – an outdoor adventure centre with everything from water orbs to fencing.

What customers say

Great for families with pool, soft play & entertainment. Staff praised. BUT touring pitches are uneven, overcrowded & poorly maintained. Cleanliness & dated facilities issues too. Some extra costs. A few cancellations noted.

Liked We had a good pitch thanks to the the lovely staff member that put us on an extra large pitch even though we could only book a large one on pitch up, all the staff we lovely
Loved the views

Disliked Both ladies and gents toilets were dirty, with only one soap dispenser working and little toilet paper in the gents with faeces marks in most of the toilets, 3 beer cans were on the fire extinguisher (these weren't cleaned in the 3 days we were there) ladies were on the day we left. There was no way of turning the temperature down on the showers it was very hot, in the bar they had very little choice,even giving us non alcoholic beer as they had run out of the normal without asking if we wanted it, no straws for the slush they gave me a spoon. The outdoor play area was all overgrown and locked. The swimming pool was an additional cost of £4 child and £6 adults for the day, I asked reception if they could come and go throughout the day and was told yes but when they went back after their lunch only having been in an hour beforehand they were told they would have to pay again, the bin stores were a disgrace with stuff thrown anywhere on the floor. The taps in the toilets were dangerously hot (no cold taps) my granddaughter couldn't put her hands under to wash them, as someone who has been using this site for over 20 years on and off we were very disappointed with the overall state of the place, we couldn't get any WiFi near our pitch, and kept buffering in the bar area (had to use my own data) the staff kept using the excuse that it had been a very busy weekend as to why there was no beer but there shouldn't be any excuse for cleanliness

Liked Had a lot of potential to be a fabulous holiday park!

Nice shop and bar with gorgeous view

Disliked Touring plots ridiculously close - I was told by a fireman on site illegal. If one van caught light they’d all go!

Hard standing pitches tiny no grass area.

On arrival allocated a pitch but told ‘hopefully it will be free, people tend to pick there own when they don’t like theirs’ pitch was taken by another visitor and told to find a space.

Swimming pool looked good - didn’t use.

Playground & crazy golf - closed. Disappointing.

Soft play free for all and dirty.

Showers hotter than the sun - not always clean and toilets never had toilet roll.

Electric out of credit.


Loud campers but probably wouldn’t have been as bad had the pitches been far enough apart.

Greedy to put so many pitches in such a small area.

Liked We really enjoyed our visit, second time we have been and will definitely return. Plenty to do and the grounds and buildings are well maintained. We will
Definitely be returning.

Disliked The only thing for us was the problem with the toilets blocking up. My partner went to use the toilet this morning and all the toilets were backed up.
The entertainment music was very very loud and we struggled to enjoy the night and actually left and went back to the caravan.

Powered gravel caravan site (medium)

Liked A really lovely site that was spacious. A large bar, mini golf & pool. Only a 30min walk into Longridge. Plenty of showers & toilets. Undercover pot washing facilities was great. The friendliest lady in the shop which was well stocked & offered a fab breakfast. The addition of a burger/hot dog/chips van too.

Disliked A cold tap in the toilet area for brushing teeth would be good. The hand soap dispensers were empty apart from 2 but those points are the only negatives.

Local attractions

Beacon Hill Country Park and the Forest of Bowland are mere minutes away by car and both have miles of walking routes across a range of landscapes including woodland, hills and farmland. Climb to the top of Beacon Hill to see landmarks in all directions including Belvoir Castle, Lincoln Cathedral and the hills of the Peak District. Said to be the inspiration for Tolkien’s Middle Earth (which might make you want to furry foot it there immediately), the Ribble Valley has the 70-mile path the Ribble Way, shopping in towns such as Clitheroe or munching one’s way around the Ribble Valley Food Trail. The River Ribble is a big hook for anglers landing chub, barbel, trout and salmon. City day trips are in all directions too: the kids’ eyes will light up with a trip to Blackpool… and for shopping, the Trafford Centre and Liverpool One of Manchester and Liverpool respectively should empty your wallet nicely…
