What customers say
A tranquil, neat campsite with big pitches and helpful staff. Guests loved the fishing, clean loos, and bar. Close to a pub. Occasional factory smells and a wish for more toilets were noted, but most had a great stay. Ideal for a chill break.

Electric hardstanding pitch
Liked A fantastic place for anyone who enjoys fishing and relaxing. The hosts are incredibly welcoming and friendly, making you feel at home from the moment you arrive. The toilets and showers are clean and well maintained, with the facilities cleaned twice a day. In the evenings, the bar is open, creating a great atmosphere, and you can even watch sports on TV. Highly recommended!
Disliked It was bad smell from factory, but only sometimes.

Enjoyable relaxing stay
Electric hardstanding pitch
Liked I had a very warm welcome on arrival despite booking about 5 minutes earlier. It’s a lovely peaceful site allowing plenty of room.
The facilities were kept clean and well maintained too.
I would recommend this place for a cheeky weekend away or if you enjoy your fishing, a bit longer.
Disliked Nothing!

Great stay thanks alot
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Everything ....Plenty of space....Friendly people Martin really helpfull ..fishing is fabulous with lots of local knowledge and when finished fishing being able to drop into the bus bar for a nice cold pint
Disliked The only issue we had was with people turning up leaving vehicle doors open while setting up with music playing then continuing banging out the music to the point where we couldn't hear our own its just about a bit of respect maybe a little restriction on loud music would improve everyone's experiences.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked From arrival met and looked after by site manager Martin, we were allocate an electric grass pitch in a favourable position close to fishing peg, ablutions block and bus bar.
Disliked Unfortunately for half the time of our visit we were downwind of a local animal waste processing factory, the smell was very unpleasent. It is not something I will easily forget.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Such a peaceful, friendly site with spacious pitches. The fishing lake is well maintained, the fish are in pristine condition, and fishing is included in your pitch fee which is also a bargain!
Martin and all the staff are so friendly and welcoming, creating a very relaxed camp atmosphere.
The low key on-site bus bar is a great place to meet fellow campers and everyone was so friendly. The proximity to the Brownlow Arms is perfect too.
The site could probably benefit from another male shower but that was never an issue during either of my stays, and the shower was super powerful and always plenty of hot water.
This was my second visit, both in 2026, and I definitely plan to return.
Thanks team Marnham!
