  • Modern amenities suitable for families and disabled guests
  • On the edge of Freckleton, 25 minutes' drive from Blackpool
You'll be in a most convenient countryside and seaside setting when you trot along to Donkey Creek Farm Caravan Site. Countryside – and wanders: this pretty rural place is on the outskirts of the Lancashire town of Freckleton and on the edge of the Lancashire Coastal Way meandering for 137 miles between Merseyside and Cumbria. Seaside: Donkey Creek is on the Fylde coast, eight and a half miles from Lytham, its sands and those four golf courses. Your nifty setting is 25 minutes' drive from the illuminating lights of Blackpool for amusements and shows, and 15 minutes from Preston for pubs and grub. Those who must have their hols served up with sparkling amenities are also well sorted here; as it only opened in 2018, Donkey Creek's essentials are of the thoroughly modern sort and include plenty to keep guests of all types comfortable. The bright amenities block has underfloor heating, a family bathroom and a disabled-access bathroom with walk-in shower alongside the well-kept toilets and showers; there's a laundry room for ease of cleaning sandy togs, and a veg prep room with freezer facility is also to hand for guests' use. A selection of groceries and camping/touring kit is at the site shop; for other bits, Freckleton village centre is 15 minutes' walk away.

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: This is a very nice, modern and beautifully presented site. The pitches are level and large, the surrounding grass all neatly mown, with 16 amp electric and water on the pitch. The facilities are excellent, modern and clean. I am a fusspot when it comes to cleanliness and these facilities passed the test with flying colours. My only slight grumble was the price, but we did stay on the final day of August, so still high season and £42. Access was easy. Well done Donkey Creek, impressed. 👍

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Firstly I noticed how clean the camp was ,then we stoped at reception and they were so friendly and welcoming ,my children loved seeing the chickens ,the showers looked so clean and fresh they looked new, washing machine and dryer very very clean not a spot of rubbish anywhere on site ,also although there was a small airport landing strip nearby it wasn’t very often but when one did take off and land I did notice everyone come out of the mobile homes to have a look and everyone got a little exited to see a plane I know we did .would definitely highly recommend this camping site ,and will definitely go back again ,.whoop whoop can’t wait.

Local attractions

Options immediately around the site include a well-equipped playground in Freckleton Memorial Park and football pitches at Bush Lane playing fields, both within half a mile, and access to the Lancashire Coastal Walk within the same distance. If you're not up for hiking the full 137 miles of the route, the local section from Freckleton to Silverdale passes Lytham, the Ribble estuary, Morecambe and the RSPB reserve of Hest Bank. Have at least a few days in Lytham whatever your holiday tastes: the Park View 4U Playing Fields four miles from the park are an excellent family option with toddler play area, teen zone, BMX track, skate park and trim trail, and the famed championship golf courses at Lytham St Annes are a top pick for teeing off. The Lytham St Annes beaches have donkey rides, crazy golf and other seaside shenanigans alongside their swathes of sand. Hikes, hacks and mountain bikes are all available around the lush Forest of Bowland, 25 minutes' drive away.
