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

Friendly staff & great amenities like a pool, but touring pitches can be unkempt/uneven. Clubhouse & entertainment are good, though some facilities need better cleaning/upkeep.

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 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 (Private restroom amenities, no pets)

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!

Liked Being close to the park for my grand children

Disliked State of the pitches. Where you put your toilet waste was disgusting. Toilets weren't the cleanest. Showers were to hot. Cold water to wash your hands. Dead flies and spiders all over. Washing facilities weren't the best. The shop was expensive selling Aldi products at more than 100% profit. Somebody was on our pitch. Had to give us 2 pitches as they only allocated for a small caravan.

Camping pod (pet friendly)

Liked The pod was bigger than we expected. Had a lovely double bed and pull out sofa bed. Very comfortable bedding and pillows.

The shop location and the owner were fantastic.

The main facilities area was very clean and modern. Staff were all very friendly.

Lovely welcoming and helpful reception staff.

We were pleasantly surprised after reading some negative reviews but we had a fantastic time and the boys already want to go back. They enjoyed the entertainment and free soft play.

Disliked Had a sink but no running water however the shop was directly opposite the pods.

The football play area had overgrown weeds and nettles. The play park also needs a revamp.

Some areas were run down when we went for a walk but have heard they are investing lots in to the area for improvements.

Mini golf is on the expensive side. It’s only small so doesn’t need to be that much. Even better if it was free as there was no one using when we saw it.

Wi-Fi didn’t work in the pods otherwise excellent when at main area.

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…
