  • Quiet, no-frills camping field with sporting facilities near Blackpool
  • A 40-minute drive to Blackpool Pleasure Beach or Ribble Steam Railway
  • Archery and rifle ranges on site; shops and takeaways 15 minutes’ walk
Combining views of the Lancashire fells with loads of sporting facilities, Little Tongues Leisure Park is a fitting base for activity-mad families. Near Poulton-le-Fylde, the no-frills camping field has a quiet, semi-rural location yet is only half an hour’s drive from the world-famous attractions of Blackpool if you all fancy a change of scenery. The campsite itself is set in a level meadow, sheltered by trees. As there is no electricity on the field, please bring torches and batteries from home for night-time trips to the spotless shower block (which also offers disabled amenities) – there’s a washing-up area just outside to keep everything neat and tidy back at your tent. There's also a salon site where guests can book in (with lovely views, of course). You can fire up your barbecue on site (bring one with you) and pick up essentials from the little shop in Preesall (15 minutes’ walk). There’s also a fish and chip shop and takeaways there, as well as a local pub (20 minutes) serving hotpots, steaks and Lancashire beers. And now for those sporting activities: both indoor and outdoor archery lessons are available, and Little Tongues has one of the longest air-rifle ranges in the north-west of England. If you’re camping in a group, you can book exclusive use of both ranges or organise archery games using foam-tipped arrows.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Pitches are well spaced and ground well drained and flat- although it’s only minutes from helpful amenities like shops, fish and chip shop etc (and a Chinese that delivers) you feel out int he country. Owners accommodating, helpful and on hand if needed - other campers respectful and having fun. Would recommend as a great base for the area.

Lovely stay, we went shooting, Rick was an amazing instructor

Liked What a lovely campsite! The owner was a great guy aswell. Was our very first camping trip so had a few hiccups but the owner helped and explained some things we needed to know! All the kids played together! The toilets were very close to us and lovely and clean. The village is beautiful and close to the sea.

Disliked Absolutely nothing to dislike :)

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked The field itself was lovely, and the views were great.

Disliked No hot water in the sink for washing the pots, no hot water at all in the morning for washing pots And the sinks were dirty. There was three showers, but only one working. For £30 a night, don’t think that’s very good.

From the manager: We are sorry you was dissatisfied with the showers, however it does say on pitchup.com that we only have 1 shower, as regards the washing up facilities they are cleaned on a regular basis, it's only the campers that use these sinks!
To be fair you did book on at around 12
30 the day you wanted to come and rang me to say your camper was oversized but still allowed you to come, on the booking form it says you only paid £25? You say you paid £30?
We do our upmost to please everyone that uses our campsite but unfortunately we can't and will never please everyone.
Happy camping.

Local attractions

The kids will likely love you forever if you let them loose in Blackpool (half an hour’s drive). There are daredevil thrills and spills on coasters at the Pleasure Beach, celebs to meet at Madame Tussauds Blackpool and Morecambe Bay views from the Blackpool Tower Eye. You can ride a vintage tram along the promenade or whizz down the indoor water slides at Sandcastle Waterpark Blackpool – both are ideal adventures for a rainy day. More family ideas include kangaroos, toucans and farmyard beasties to spot at Wild Discovery (half an hour), with rare breeds at Farmer Parrs Animal World (25 minutes) to enthral animal-mad youngsters. Jump on a steam-train ride on the heritage rail line at Ribble Steam Railway and Museum (40 minutes) or have a run around in bracing sea air on Marine Beach in Fleetwood (half an hour). You’re 50 minutes’ drive from yomping the fells of the southern Lake District, and if golf is your sport, there are plenty of golf courses within 40 minutes, including the hallowed championship links at Royal Lytham and St Annes Golf Club.
