Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Lovely countryside location, yet still handy for the A59 and exploring the Ribble valley and the Dales. Good walk into Bolton by Bowland to the local pub. Pitches are well spaced and WiFi good. We liked being able to pick our own pitch. (The site was busy on a Friday night, so latecomers had to take whatever was left.)
Disliked: Not sure if there was a dog walking field or not - there weren't any signs or map. Side pitches were sloping to some so many units would need levellers.

Liked: The site was well maintained, the grass was cut and everything was neat and tidy. Liked that you could choose your own pitch. Toilet and shower block were kept clean. Only 2 toilets and showers in both men and women but as the site was quiet this was not an issue.
