  • 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).

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked -Play areas for children
-big spacious field for dog walking
-nature trail
-big spacious toilet/shower area that was immaculately clean :)
-Nice and peaceful site
-Shop on site
-WiFi this is the only place we've visited where the WiFi actually worked on all of our devices, usually when we go away the WiFi is terrible, but it was really good here on the childrens tablets and phones.


Would definately recommend if you're seeking a peaceful relaxing holiday, but wouldnt recommend if you're seeking somewhere with lots to do to keep the children entertained as there is only the play area and nothing local, so mine got bored pretty quick.

Disliked The only minor things i disliked was-

Timing of showers, the water ran for 4 seconds (Yes i counted ha) and I had to keep pressing to restart every 4 seconds which was quite annoying trying to wash my long hair.

And also it was a little out of the way for any local attractions to visit with the children. Perfect if you like a nice peaceful holiday staying on site but I like to venture out with the children exploring the area and I couldn't find anything within walking distance so We had to drive down to morecambe.

Liked Very clean facilities and well looked after site. The kids enjoyed the Easter trail. Ideal play areas and field for the children to play in.

Disliked Pitches are very close together. Also we had an emergency where we needed to stay an extra night to go to a specialist hospital in the area for our son and they weren’t helpful at all. Completely understand if they are full but there wasn’t any compassion at all and it meant we left that evening and had to change hospitals which added to the trauma we were going through.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Liked the Touring Area, ample pitch size , Toilets were modern, warm and clean and fellow campers kept it that way too, Disabled Toilet was accessible and each toilet area had a key for safety , Kim was very pleasant on arrival and ensured we had relevant information needed and we were also lent an extension due to hook up hiccup, which was very much appreciated, a nice little shop in reception, which we purchased from, all in all an excellent site., thanks for a fabulous stay, we will return for sure.

Disliked Pitches are a little on the small side, if you put your awning up there is no room to park your car at the pitch.

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.
