  • Wild 10-acre site on a farm on the outskirts of Blackpool
  • A 10-minute walk from a bus stop for central Blackpool
  • Wide range of farm animals to visit on site; firepits permitted
Do you have visions of yourself strolling the streets of Blackpool, settling on the beach for a picnic and trying all of the different amusements along the Central Pier? Or maybe it's a properly rural break that you've got in mind? Or perhaps… both? If that sounds promising, this base will surely get your attention: Whyndyke Farm is a 10-acre wild site on the outskirts of Blackpool, full of animals and lovely long grass. It’s easy to reach the town’s many attractions from this handy spot – and an impressive set this is indeed, as Blackpool is home to the likes of the Central Pier (lined with rides including a Ferris wheel), Blackpool Tower, Blackpool Zoo and the Blackpool Pleasure Beach theme park. The farm is a 10-minute walk from a bus stop with a route to central Blackpool. Otherwise, a 10-minute drive (or a bit longer if there's traffic) will do the trick. At this wild site, you’re welcome to set up wherever you like and then visit the wide range of animals on the farm (think pigs, cows, chickens and so on). The site's facilities are basic, including just clean toilets. However, it's a few minutes’ walk away from a petrol station with an ATM and a small shop. If you’re missing any campfire essentials, it's handy that a large supermarket is a 15-minute walk away. There’s also a carvery-style restaurant 15 minutes’ walk away should you want to tuck into a good filling meal one day.

What customers say

A chilled, family-run spot for no-frills stays. Friendly staff, great value, pick your own spot. Kids love the farm animals & quads. Portaloos & uneven ground are noted, but location near Blackpool is a winner. Dog-friendly, small shop too.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Convenient location, easy drive into Blackpool. Great communication from hosts. Request for late check out was not an issue. Everything we needed for a 1 night stop over.

Disliked We only stayed 1 night so we didn't require shower etc. If we had wanted to stay longer I don't think the toilet/bathroom facilities would have suited us.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Nice and quiet. It was a convenient location on the outskirts of Blackpool, but close enough to travel to all the attractions. The staff were very helpful and attentive. Fire pits and wood were available for hire as well as quad bikes. The site is dog friendly with some off lead.

Disliked Basic toilets and shower. I didn't use them.

Liked Small shop on site, friendly operators, things for the kids to do - quads, go karts, soft play. On site catering. Free to choose own spot, plenty of space.

Disliked Basic facilities like portaloos but clean and away from main living area.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or motorhome pitch

Liked The people who run and work at Whyndyke Farm really do go above and beyond. From the moment we arrived, everyone was so friendly, helpful and welcoming.

My son had an amazing time on the quad bikes. They kindly gave him an extra 15 minutes, which he absolutely loved and didn’t want to end! Safety is clearly taken very seriously too. They use a remote stop system and gave us great advice throughout, which made us feel really comfortable.

They were also incredibly generous, giving him lots of free sweets and drinks. It was such a lovely touch and made his day even more special.

The campsite itself is a great place to stay, with plenty to enjoy and a really relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. It’s especially perfect if you love pigs! We had a brilliant time and would definitely recommend Whyndyke Farm to anyone looking for a fun, welcoming campsite near Blackpool.

If you’ve read this far, you’re an absolute legend!

Local attractions

This a fine, fine spot for Blackpool adventures. Search the 80 wax figures at Madame Tussauds Blackpool (10 minutes’ drive) for celebrities and musicians you recognise, then for a splendid old-fashioned evening out, catch an event at The Blackpool Tower Ballroom (15 minutes), a ballroom with a sprung dance floor at the foot of the town’s Victorian tower. Blackpool is home to the Sandcastle Waterpark (10 minutes), which has over 18 different slides of all shapes and sizes. At Lowlands Farm Alpacas (five minutes), go on a stroll with some of the good-looking alpacas. If you've got kids who need to let off steam, you may want to plan a visit to the Ascent Trampoline Park Blackpool (five minutes). Keen skateboarders can tackle the ramps at Ramp City Skatepark (five minutes). While there’s plenty to do in and around Blackpool, perhaps you’d like to branch out with some birdwatching at RSPB Fairhaven Lake Visitor Centre & Shop (15 minutes) or RSPB Hesketh Out Marsh (50 minutes) and hikes in the Forest of Bowland National Landscape (from 25 minutes).
