Family-run Lancashire site next to 12 acres of young woodland
Less than a mile from Ribchester; Forest of Bowland two miles
Dog and bike washes on site; bus stop a few minutes' walk

Preston and Blackburn are both within half an hour's drive of Dale Hey Touring Park – but this lovely Lancashire spot is a thoroughly rural place where you'll be able to slow down and soak up some proper countryside vibes. This is a place that’s been designed with the express aim of helping guests appreciate the outdoors – and part of that mission is purposely not offering wifi, to encourage visitors to switch off and connect instead with family and friends, or with the surroundings. And what fabulous surroundings they are – the site is next to a 12-acre broad-leaved woodland planted in 2003, and it's got well-maintained gardens with open grass spaces, formal planting and wildlife-friendly stumperies. Getting to know your new temporary home should be straightforward, as there's a clearly marked trail taking you into the woods, and you can join several other paths directly from the site. The River Ribble and riverside Ribble Way are less than a mile away, as is the pretty village of Ribchester – home to several pubs and cafés, a playground and a handy local shop. For jaunts further afield, there’s a bus stop a few minutes' walk away. Life on site is fairly simple, but the essentials are in place, including a washing-up area and well-kept bathrooms with disabled facilities. Given that the trails of the Forest of Bowland National Landscape are only a couple of miles away, it's also handy that there are dog and bike washing facilities on site.

Steve P. May 2025

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Friendly welcome and very clean and tidy site including a Motorhome service point, toilets and showers etc

Yes the services are good with everything you need in place for a good stay.- nothing fancy just all in place.

Looks like it’s well worth a trip through the woodland walk too

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Yes the woodland walk is very popular. It was planted in March 2003. There’s bins and seats in the woods. Many Motorhome visitors take advantage of the bus services as the bus stops directly outside the site.

Great for a long or short weekend will be going back

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Location great base for walks, village close with pubs and shops. Friendly owner who came and welcomed us and gave local information. Great warm, immaculate shower and toilet block. Boot, bike and dog cleaning area was a great addition.

Disliked: Having to leave 😀

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you. The dog and boot wash are certainly popular. Not as many cyclists as it is hilly

Lovely site with green spaces, great for a few days away.

Gill W. Feb 2025

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Clean and tidy site, lovely short woodland walk perfect for walking the dog. Showers were hot and clean.

Disliked: Not really a dislike but the power is only 10 amp. It was a very cold week in February and this meant turning off the heating to cook anything, boil the kettle etc.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Well lit and clear instructions of how everything works.
