  • Peaceful, isolated site on a secluded Lancashire farm
  • A half-hour drive from Blackpool beach and Forest of Bowland
  • Simple grass pitches down a long farm track, 10 minutes from the M6
Oh to be on a peaceful, secluded spot in the lovely Lancashire countryside, with forests, the Lakes and big cities not far off… such is the atmosphere at Moss Rose Campsite, a relaxing site about 10 minutes’ drive from the M6 and half an hour north of Preston. This is a splendid spot for those who’d like a bit of peace and quiet – pitches are on a simple grass field well away from any neighbours. You’ll have to travel down a long farm track to get here (it’s rather rough and bumpy, so take it slowly) but the reward is a spacious and secluded stay on a small traditional family-run working farm with views out over fields of farm animals. (The owners describe it as ‘somewhat alike to The Darling Buds of May’, for those who remember such telly treats.) Because of those farm animals, dogs are welcome as long as they are well behaved and kept under control. Kids are also very welcome, and you’re able to set up barbecues for your evening meal (as long as you’re careful with them…) There’s a pub a couple of miles away if you fancy a pint or a bite to eat. Day trips around here might take you to the coast at Blackpool or Morecambe, inland to the Forest of Bowland or Lake District or for a bit of city action in Liverpool or Manchester, both of which are a little over an hour’s drive away (also making this site also a good place for city dwellers who fancy a quick escape without a long drive).

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: The little shop on site and the way the pitches were marked out.. The picnic table was really good quality and we would recommend renting. Good for kids with small play area.

Disliked: Some of the kids play equipment was a little outdated and could do a with a refresh, nothing major though.

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked: Loved the wild feeling of the campsite with the long grass and the wildflowers separating the pitches. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. This was a great site for our 5-year-old to play safely with other children in the play area in the middle of the site. Thank yo for a lovely weekend.

Poppy bell tent

Liked: I came with my fiancé first time I’ve ever been camping. What an amazing experience. Owners were super friendly, it was peaceful and the tent was gorgeous (we stayed in poppy bell tent) had a great time was so chilled and nice to get away. There’s loads of wildlife that thrives there and it’s amazing to see. It was so nice to just switch off and relax would definitely go again.

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked: Everything! Nice and quiet camping in individual bays. The owner was super friendly and accommodating. Toilets were spotless and the little huts with supplies were a great idea. Giant hares running around all afternoon too.

Disliked: Probably could do with a few more loos for when it gets busier but really nothing to complain about.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Lovely little campsite in a great location. I liked the fact that you can choose your own pitch space and not be pitched too close to other campers so you can have privacy. The owner was lovely and he was very welcoming and gave us a lot of information and helpful tips. My kids loved staying over. The honesty shop is also a nice touch incase you need essentials, forget anything from home or want to buy your little kids a treat. We will definitely be back again very soon!

Local attractions

Before you get straight to your adventuring, there’s a farm shop and ice cream parlour called Wallings Ice Cream (15 minutes' drive) that will make sure your tummy’s well prepared for all the action. For action, the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (half an hour) is just the place - have a pedal between rural villages, picking up farm produce as you go. The Lake District National Park (45 minutes) has plenty more trails or watersports for those looking to get a dip in. But what about those city days out also? The bright lights of Blackpool (half an hour) are hardly far away, and for more sightseeing, Manchester (an hour and 10 minutes) and Liverpool (an hour and 15 minutes) make for some great day trips. If you’re a fan of the busy buzz and action Lancaster (half an hour) has museums and a city park or Morecambe (half an hour) has a splendid seafront… but for more wildlife instead, head to the Wild Discovery animal park (half an hour).
