  • 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 chilled, adults-only spot with clean facilities. Guests loved the friendly owners, spacious pitches, and handy location for exploring Blackpool and Lytham. The farm shop's a bonus. A few noted the small loos and no indoor showers. Great value, highly recommended; folks are keen to return.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Quiet, adult only site with fully serviced pitches. Great for Blackpool, Lytham St Annes and surrounding area. Bus serviced 5 mins walk away that goes to Blackpool in about half an hour. Nice pub in walking distance that does food. Great value for money, clean and well maintained. We will be back.

Disliked Needs a better sign at the entrance to avoid you going down a narrow lane,

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked All the pitches were set up fantastic, lovely quiet site, sheep next door. Owners, Andrew & Anne were very nice and informative and have done a great job with the site and more to come. Definitely will come again.

Disliked Not a big deal with tourers or some motor homes, but only 4 toilets and one shower (which was lovely and hot). They are currently installing a disabled unit and I'm sure they have more plans for the future

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).
