Whitehough Outdoor Centre

Me gustó: We stayed here twice and we have had different experiences.
The first weekend we stayed we really liked how quiet it was, the campsite definitely doesn’t feel like you are just fifteen minutes from burnley town centre!
It definitely felt safe and secure whilst we were there so we could let the kids run around and feel really relaxed.
It’s a bargain price at £20 a night
It genuinely felt like we got away and off the hamster wheel of our busy life.
Loved how you could get on the site nice and early as usually a lot of pitches don’t let you on until afternoon/late.

The second weekend -
Unfortunately with camping you will sometimes get a couple of bad neighbours however this group of three friends who turned up definitely didn’t “read the room” baring in mind we have three young kids, another tent had two young kids and another tent was a chilled couple with a dog.
The group of three brought a speaker out and started blasting music out, they were smoking w**d and generally being obnoxiously loud. Unfortunately there is no one patrolling or checking on any campers or what is going on in the field so this behaviour can continue.
There is no hot water in the washing up area. The toilet blocks were locked on the second weekend so there was only two toilets available on the second weekend which wasn’t the best of toilets or clean! Would we return? For me no. Which is really sad as we would have sung this site praises from high hill if we have had the same experience as the first time.

Me gustó: Location, ample space to pitch tent, the fact there were facilities, clean too. Barley village nearby - good pub food.

No me gustó: Ghost town feel to the site: No staff on site, no instructions or clear signposting to facilities. Cars parked on grass next to pitches, despite rules on the contrary - with no staff on site to supervise or enforce.

Me gustó: Plenty of room on this campsite, there are even some picnic benches and little shelters. Nice and quiet site, well situated near Barley and Pendle Hill for walks - there's plenty to explore. There's a clean toilet block and shower. Decent pubs in the village, a short walk up the riverbank.

I didn't (think) I saw any member of staff so I can't comment on that.

No me gustó: There's a site rule about parking cars near tents - many sites do this now for several reasons - safety, noise reduction etc - it makes sense. However, there were people on site who, for whatever reason, decided to drive their cars to their tents - so it looks like you can do what you want.

Me gustó: The freedom of the back to basics allowing us to camp with a fire, the site was very clean, plenty of space. Very quiet and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, we would love to head back one day.

No me gustó: The only inconvenience but barring in mind the Mrs likes to pack everything except the kitchen sink, was the fact that there’s no access to park the car close for dropping stuff off, albeit this is not a long walk at all.

Me gustó: Nice simple campsite. Helpful staff who greeted me on arrival. Toilet, hot shower, washing up facilities plus a handy sheltered area with a picnic table. Wheelbarrows to transfer gear to your pitch.
