  • Well-equipped dog-friendly site 20 minutes’ drive from Lancaster
  • Forest of Bowland 15 minutes’ drive; Morecambe Bay 25 minutes
  • Two fishing lakes; two playgrounds; book and DVD library; food shop
Sandy beaches, vast moorlands and lush forests, and historic cities are all within fairly easy reach when you stay at Moss Wood Caravan Park, in the Lancashire countryside about halfway between Preston to the south (15 minutes’ drive) and Lancaster to the north (20 minutes), and about 15 minutes’ drive east of the Forest of Bowland National Landscape. And Moss Wood is not too far from the coast, either: Morecambe Bay, with its huge expanse of sand, is a 25-minute drive away. That all sounds like busy days of wanderings and exploration might be on the cards. However, for those who look forward to the holidays so they don’t have to drive anywhere, there’s plenty to do on site at this family-run caravan park. Keen anglers might want to start with a relaxed morning at one of two fishing ponds. The kids also have a choice, with two play areas (with swings, slides and miniature adventure courses), plus a free book and DVD library. And if the idea is to spend time together as a family, you might want to consider heading to the large recreation field for a kickabout or a game of tag (and the family dog can join in, too.) On-site facilities include a large, well-maintained and heated (always a big bonus) toilet and shower block with large cubicles for disabled guests; there is also a launderette and a shop selling locally sourced products (including cheese, crisps, baked goods and beers).

What customers say

This peaceful, well-kept site gets kudos for cleanliness & great facilities, like spotless restrooms. Friendly, helpful staff & a well-stocked shop are pluses. Some found touring spots tight & showers needed frequent button presses. Great for a relaxing escape with outdoor activities, but fewer local attractions for families.

Liked We liked the peace and quiet; the lovely woodland walk on site; and the fact that despite there being a lot of statics, in the touring section you can be totally oblivious to them. The toilet block was absolutely pristine.

Local attractions

In addition to walking and cycling routes, the Forest of Bowland National Landscape (15 minutes’ drive) also has thriving biodiversity, with birds such as hen harriers and peregrine falcons, plus bats and brown hares. And if you stay until after dark, on clear nights you should be treated to a pretty awe-inspiring stargazing spectacle. The centuries-old castle in Lancaster (20 minutes) is well worth a visit: it was here that a series of notorious witch trials took place in the 1610s. Also within the castle (specifically the castle’s former prison) is the Police Museum, which runs events such as craft activities and talks. When you’re after a day at the beach, you can choose between Morecambe (25 minutes) and Blackpool (40 minutes). At the former, you can pose for a picture next to the Eric Morecambe Statue or walk the length of the Stone Jetty to Trafalgar Point, at the very end. Blackpool also has the waterfront Blackpool Pleasure Beach complex, with hair-raising thrill rides.
