  • Within easy reach of the Forest of Bowland, Pennines and Lake District
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 staff & facilities like the pool and play areas are a hit with families. Some touring pitches are a bit rough and cramped. Clubhouse is good, but toilets and some areas could be cleaner and better maintained.

Liked Handy for overnight stay on way to Blackpool Airshow.

Toilet and shower block clean.

TV reception ok.

Disliked The large pitch we were allocated was on an end and too short for our motorhome so we had to go in sideways. We were unable to level so on a slant.

No information given on check in apart from code for barrier and map, but pitch numbers on the map were unreadable.

No guidelines on quiet time - is there one? It was noisy at night, adults talking loudly outside their pods/caravans and children behind us running, screaming and laughing until midnight.

WiFi is none existent.

Don't think we could've stayed more than one night.

Liked The pool for the kids, the lad managing the pool area was really friendly, helpful and polite.

Disliked The reception staff, blunt, offish, not helpful at all. Had no electricity (even though it was paid for) asked reception for help they said they'd send someone, phoned twice and nothing! Asked if any entertainment was told yes music, on walking down in the evening we walked in to the ending of bingo games we'd missed (not helpful at all).

Liked A few things for the children to do which is at extra cost of the stay.
Shop on site.

Disliked Gravel pitches were over grown with weeds
Directions to get to the touring pitches were none existent.
The wash areas were filthy
Some water points were over grown with trees - more maintenance required.
Some staff were rude
Sign on wall on the road leading up to the campsite site pointing to turn left but campsite is straight on.
Toilets had splattered toilet roll on the ceilings.
Could smell someone smoking drugs - not suitable for a family holiday with small kids
Seats in the bar area had crumbs everywhere.

Liked The club house was clean and modern but disappointed it didn’t sell food.
The bar staff friendly but the entertainment needs up dating!

Disliked The touring site was scruffy and needed some time spent weeding and a general spruce up especially the touring area. No WIFI. Some flowers would make it look so much better! This is one of the most expensive we have stayed and the most disappointing.

Camping pod (no pets, private bathroom amenities)

Liked Great sized park. Fabulous views, entertainment for the kids (aged 8 and 4) was brilliant! We had a small issue with our accommodation to which the team were super reactive and resolved in no time- Thanks Again Roger and Team!

Disliked Great place however the accommodation could be a little cleaner- lots of dust and cobwebs in obvious places. Not an issue as we went over with items we brought but just that little bit more attention to detail goes a long way!

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…
