Mi è piaciuto We love Calder Farm, it’s so peaceful and relaxed, surrounded by beautiful hills and the village of Bolton by Bowland is only a 10 minute walk away.

Mi è piaciuto Holly Tree Nook is a pristine site with finely manicured pitches, and spotless toilet and washing facilities. The bus stop to York a couple of minutes walk away on the Link Road, and yes, a wooden sauna for visitors to access, the owners seemed friendly enough, but this is not necessarily the whole story.

Non mi è piaciuto We felt that this site is almost too well kept yet misses super important features when holidaying in a caravan or motorhome. Firstly, it was not easy to find, being situated outside the village of Osbaldwick and it took a few attempts to get in touch with the owners for directions. The large security gates are easy enough to operate, but there’s no smaller gate for walking. The showers were a decent temperature but not adjustable and frustratingly, lasted no more than 20 seconds on each push of the button. The toilets and sinks were separate to the showers with no cold water tap and a hand sensor to use, maddening when trying to simply clean your teeth! Also, recycling is not encouraged except for glass, a small, yet powerful improvement would be a mixed, dry recycling bin for plastics, tins, and/or cardboard. Finally, the site would benefit from a notice board with information about the local area. We don’t wish to be too critical, however sometimes when places are a little bit more ‘rough and ready’ they are more authentic and truly set up for people who enjoy the outdoor way of life. Maybe as the site becomes more established things will relax a little, but currently, there are some factors that mean we probably would not return.

Mi è piaciuto The location, the peace, the walk to the Stork at Conder Green

Mi è piaciuto Great location for a stopover and good facilities for families or couples, people travelling with tents, caravans, or motorhomes. Beautiful views over Lough Ree, and very welcoming host.

Non mi è piaciuto Quite busy, but we were exhausted after a long day travelling so wouldn’t say this is a negative, more a personal feeling based on our own circumstances.

Mi è piaciuto The location is perfect for a ferry stop over, providing a very peaceful site but with very easy access off the A55. The pitches are good sized with water and electric points easily accessible, the shower block is exceptionally clean and spacious.

Mi è piaciuto This is a special campsite. The location is lovely, very peaceful, calm, but with a slightly magical feel. Loved the Nook, the Fairy Circle, Goat Mountain, and the hidden reed garden for dog walking. Even the showers have a special quality that must be appreciated. Hilary, the owner is a lovely soul, and we really hope to return one day.

Mi è piaciuto Poplar Grove Farm is a site suitable for couples, solo travellers, and families alike, the owners are friendly and welcoming. The location is particularly peaceful, yet close to the town of Garstang, just over 2 miles away and there’s great play areas for children.

Non mi è piaciuto Not great if you are in a motorhome and don’t have another vehicle or don’t want to unhitch, the walk into Garatang is a long a busy road, often with no footpaths. In addition, as the site has extended, there seems inadequate facilities for rubbish collection and recycling (we had to walk past an open skip to our pitch every time we were going anywhere), and toilet facilities could be increased. These are areas that can improved however and would make a hugely positive difference if steps were taken to address the issues.

Mi è piaciuto The peaceful location, the beautiful river walk, the friendly atmosphere from people on the site as well as the wardens, great for a stop over on a longer journey.

Non mi è piaciuto It’s a small point, however an important one in that first impressions are not the best, particularly if on the hard standing pitches. The bins could probably do to be a bit more discreet, and the 2 older statics look a bit out of place, but once you get into the site it’s really well kept and lovely to wander round.

Mi è piaciuto The location, very easy to find yet peacefully tucked away off the main road. Field available for dog walking, or a pleasant mile and a half to Saundersfoot beach along quiet, country lanes. The best thing about the site however, is the atmosphere when you are there. It felt super traditional, welcoming, and ideal for families who enjoy the outdoor way of life. Owner of the site was around if needed but clearly, privacy is respected. There’s fire pits available to hire with logs and kindling, with an honesty box system for payment. The shower block and toilets, whilst not the newest, are spotless and the hot water was the perfect temperature. Just a lovely, special little place to stay.

Non mi è piaciuto Having to leave!

Dal gestore: Thank you so much Elaine for leaving such a great review and for staying at CC. We are glad you enjoyed the tranquility of a campsite in the countryside. Phil works so hard to make everyone’s stay enjoyable so we really appreciate reviews like these. Thank you so much. Rhian & Phil

Mi è piaciuto The views over the bay were spectacular, especially at sunset. The facilities were of a good standard and easily accessible. The people on the site were very friendly and welcoming.

Non mi è piaciuto No immediate area for dog walking, other than on or around the site, too far and not really safe to walk to the beach from the site because there is no footpath available. Definitely a drive to the beach, which is not always the ideal solution.

Mi è piaciuto The peaceful location is quite extraordinary, I felt like my own breath was too loud at times! And yet, you are literally a 5 minute walk to the garden centre, (you can’t miss it on the way in, even though the entrance is very discreet and in keeping with the surroundings), and only a 6 or 7 minute walk to the beautiful River Lune estuary. Head south towards Glasson Dock, and you soon come across The Stork hotel / bar, ideally for liquid refreshments and a bite to eat! Or, head towards Lancaster if you are feeling more energetic. This site is spotless, with an abundance of wildlife to spot, and friendly wardens, should you need them. Would return in a heartbeat.
