What customers say
Dale Hey is a neat, quiet campsite with super clean facilities. Guests loved the roomy pitches, the nice bush walk on site, and its handy spot for exploring Ribchester village and nearby. The owners are always called friendly and welcoming. Small things to note: 10 amp electric and occasional road noise. A top spot for a chill break.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Lovely, clean site, with the river Ribble within walking distance
Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Clean, well kept site with a lovely wooded area for walking; really lovely touch. The facilities were kept tidy and clean too. We enjoyed walks down to the village, river and the Ribchester Arms for meals.
Disliked Overall we loved our stay, the thing that we would have loved even more would have been a laundry setup and fully serviced pitch options, although we got to test out our aqua roll and pump, which weren’t as awkward as we had feared!

From the manager: The site facilities on offer do not include fully serviced pitches, wifi or laundromat. We prefer that people are able to enjoy the rural location, on-site woodlands with well maintained shower block and manicured grounds at an affordable price.
Everything you want from a site.

Liked On arrival we was welcomed by John the owner who was a very helpful and friendly man. All the grounds on the site were kept very nice.
Disliked Only 1 toilet block for the whole site , gents had 2 toilets and 2 showers , unfortunately the toilets were continuously blocked throughout our stay. The location of the block wasn’t central and quite a walk if you were at the bottom of the site.
