  • Peaceful, isolated site on a secluded Lancashire farm
  • A half-hour drive from Blackpool beach and Forest of Bowland
  • Simple grass pitches down a long farm track, 10 minutes from the M6
Oh to be on a peaceful, secluded spot in the lovely Lancashire countryside, with forests, the Lakes and big cities not far off… such is the atmosphere at Moss Rose Campsite, a relaxing site about 10 minutes’ drive from the M6 and half an hour north of Preston. This is a splendid spot for those who’d like a bit of peace and quiet, with reduced noise expected from 9pm to 10pm and quiet hours from 10pm to 8.30am. Pitches are on a simple grass field well away from any neighbours. You’ll have to travel down a long farm track to get here (it’s rather rough and bumpy, so take it slowly). The reward is a spacious and secluded stay on a small traditional family-run working farm with views out over fields of farm animals. (The owners describe it as ‘somewhat alike to The Darling Buds of May’, for those who remember such telly treats.) Because of those farm animals, dogs are welcome as long as they are well behaved and kept under control. Kids are also very welcome, and you’re able to set up barbecues for your evening meal (as long as you’re careful with them…) There’s a pub a couple of miles away if you fancy a pint or a bite to eat. Day trips around here might take you to the coast at Blackpool or Morecambe, inland to the Forest of Bowland or Lake District or for a bit of city action in Liverpool or Manchester, both of which are a little over an hour’s drive away (also making this site also a good place for city dwellers who fancy a quick escape without a long drive).

What customers say

A family-run spot with ample, private pitches and a tranquil vibe. Owners are friendly and helpful, the honesty shop is well-stocked. Basic but clean facilities, with improvements planned. Expect wildlife and a back-to-nature feel. Great for families and peaceful escapes.

Deep sleep sensory bell tent

Liked Lovely location, we have stayed before in the peacock pod but brought the kids back to stay in the Nebula bell tent as a treat whilst visiting blackpool.
Tent was lovely...spacious inside and pitch was spacious too being cut out amongst the grass & wildflower. Had its own picnic table and bbq/firepit.
At nightime the tent came to life with lots of gorgeous light, the animals and park were also a big hit with the kids.
Also met the owner who was very friendly and personable. Will deffo be back.

Doyles Dell - Fully Enclosed non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch (secluded)

Liked We stayed at Doyles Den Moss Ross Campsite for 3 nights as a group of 4 adults, 2 children and 3 dogs, and we genuinely had an amazing stay.

The biggest thing that stood out was the staff. They were absolutely brilliant from start to finish — incredibly friendly, welcoming and attentive, and they really went above and beyond to make everyone feel at home. They were fantastic with the children, letting them help feed the animals, taking them for rides around on the quad and even giving them lifts over to the park. Little things like this made the stay feel really personal and made the weekend particularly special for the kids.

We stayed on one of the enclosed pitches, which was brilliant. It gave us loads of privacy and, having three dogs with us, being able to let them relax off lead within our own pitch made such a difference. It meant both us and the dogs could properly switch off and enjoy the weekend without constantly worrying about leads.

The whole campsite has a really friendly and relaxed atmosphere and you can tell the people running it genuinely care about their guests and the site. We honestly couldn't fault the staff or the overall experience. We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be returning. It is easily somewhere we would recommend to other families, especially those camping with children and dogs.

Disliked There really isn't much we could criticise, and none of these points would stop us coming back.

The toilet facilities are quite small and there is currently only one male toilet serving the campsite, although there is already a sign explaining that they are planning to increase the facilities, so it is clearly something they are aware of and working on.

The showers are push-button operated, which can be a little annoying when you're trying to have a shower and have to keep pressing the button, although we completely understand the reasoning behind this and the need to reduce unnecessary water usage.

The only other small issue was with our enclosed pitch. There were quite a lot of nettles around the edges and some of the hedgerows were growing quite far into the pitch. This effectively reduced the usable width and made positioning our larger tent a little awkward, despite the tent itself being under the stated 6.5m pitch width. A quick trim back of the hedges and nettles would make the enclosed pitches even better, particularly for people using larger family tents.

These are genuinely minor points though and shouldn't take away from what was an excellent campsite and a fantastic weekend. The positives massively outweigh them and we would happily stay again.

Local attractions

Before you get straight to your adventuring, there’s a farm shop and ice cream parlour called Wallings Ice Cream (15 minutes' drive) that will make sure your tummy’s well prepared for all the action. For action, the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (half an hour) is just the place - have a pedal between rural villages, picking up farm produce as you go. The Lake District National Park (45 minutes) has plenty more trails or watersports for those looking to get a dip in. But what about those city days out also? The bright lights of Blackpool (half an hour) are hardly far away, and for more sightseeing, Manchester (an hour and 10 minutes) and Liverpool (an hour and 15 minutes) make for some great day trips. If you’re a fan of the busy buzz and action Lancaster (half an hour) has museums and a city park or Morecambe (half an hour) has a splendid seafront… but for more wildlife instead, head to the Wild Discovery animal park (half an hour).
