  • Adults-only Lancashire campsite close to the attractions of Blackpool
  • A 20-minute drive to Blackpool Pleasure Beach; 55 to the south Lakes
  • Farm shop on site; a pub within five minutes’ walk, a shop 10 minutes
If you’re looking for a restful adults-only location for a Lancashire camping break close to one of the most famous seaside resorts in the UK, then Norcross may be the very spot for you. Approached by a rural lane, the grass pitches are on a level field sheltered by trees, yet this secluded camping field is just 20 minutes’ drive from the bright lights and mega-attractions of Blackpool. In fact, Norcross is close to lots of places: you can be ordering a pint in the local pub within five minutes’ walk, or carry on to the village of Newton with Scales (10 minutes’ walk) for a basics shop, cash point and post office. Hop in the car and head to the market town of Kirkham (five minutes’ drive) to pick up bits and bobs in the supermarket or bag a takeaway, while a 20-minute drive will see you in Lytham St Annes for beach walks, a Victorian pier and playing golf on a prestigious links course. Amenities on site are straightforward: a couple of loos and recycling facilities, but you can buy fresh eggs for a hearty breakfast fry up, seasonal fruit or veg and plants from the owners’ farm shop – they also run a smallholding with sheep and free-range hens.

What customers say

Norcross is a peaceful, adults-only spot with big, tidy, mostly flat pitches, often with EHU & water. Guests love the helpful owners, spotless loos & showers, and quiet vibe. Great for exploring, with a bus & pub nearby. Minor gripes: small loo cubicles, unclear entrance sign.

Antony S.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Welcomed on arrival by Andy who was very friendly pleasant and helpful.

This place is kept immaculate from the supersize pitches fully serviced ,and grass to the toilets everything very clean and tidy.

A credit to the owner.

We took advantage of Annie’s fresh fruit and veg shop which was on site, also the garden centre which had a great variety of plants and shrubs (sorry forgot the lady’s name but she was also friendly and knowledgeable).

It’s a fantastic site as a base to venture out.Local pub a few minutes walk and Kirkham around 10 minute drive.

Disliked Nothing will be returning ,perfect Thank you.

Kirsty S.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked The site had huge flat hard standing pitches. Electricity supply was very good, as was the water pressure. The cost of the metered electricity was excellent, which made this site a bargain. Very easy to find and close enough to plenty of things to do. Great welcome and easy check out. Plenty of toilets. Quiet site as no children or road noise. Recycling 😀

Local attractions

Blackpool (20 minutes’ drive) is the main event here, and the family attractions come thick and fast: daredevil rollercoaster rides and spectacular musicals at the Pleasure Beach, snorkelling with sharks at Sea Life Blackpool, and encounters with royalty at Madame Tussauds. That’s just for starters though; don’t neglect the 4D movies and panoramic views from the Blackpool Tower Eye or miss the chance to see rare Bornean orangutans at Blackpool Zoo. Children keen to see more wildlife? Try flying displays by protected raptors at the Owl and Bird Of Prey Sanctuary (20 minutes) or introduce younger kids to the friendly alpacas and ponies at Farmer Parrs Animal World (half an hour). If you prefer to be out in the fresh country air, active families can have a rip-roaring run around on the inflatables at Blackpool Wake Park (15 minutes). Easy access to Junction 3 of the M55 (10 minutes’ drive) makes it a complete doddle to reach the walking and cycling routes of the southern Lake District National Park (55 minutes) or the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (40 minutes).
