Wild 10-acre site on a farm on the outskirts of Blackpool
A 10-minute walk from a bus stop for central Blackpool
Wide range of farm animals to visit on site; firepits permitted

Do you have visions of yourself strolling the streets of Blackpool, settling on the beach for a picnic and trying all of the different amusements along the Central Pier? Or maybe it's a properly rural break that you've got in mind? Or perhaps… both? If that sounds promising, this base will surely get your attention: Whyndyke Farm is a 10-acre wild site on the outskirts of Blackpool, full of animals and lovely long grass. It’s easy to reach the town’s many attractions from this handy spot – and an impressive set this is indeed, as Blackpool is home to the likes of the Central Pier (lined with rides including a Ferris wheel), Blackpool Tower, Blackpool Zoo and the Blackpool Pleasure Beach theme park. The farm is a 10-minute walk from a bus stop with a route to central Blackpool. Otherwise, a 10-minute drive (or a bit longer if there's traffic) will do the trick. At this wild site, you’re welcome to set up wherever you like and then visit the wide range of animals on the farm (think pigs, cows, chickens and so on). The site's facilities are basic, including just clean toilets. However, it's a few minutes’ walk away from a petrol station with an ATM and a small shop. If you’re missing any campfire essentials, it's handy that a large supermarket is a 15-minute walk away. There’s also a carvery-style restaurant 15 minutes’ walk away should you want to tuck into a good filling meal one day.

Liked: it was super chill and a nice environment and great for a group hangout camping trip, we all loved it and it being right next to a petrol station was super convenient too!

Disliked: we got the stomach flu from the portaloos.. (not their fault someone must have had it and used it and we didn’t know)

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: We loved the field and the wild camping experience. We made sure we were prepared and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Our evening fire was super cosy. We fed the pigs and we enjoyed a trip into Blackpool, St Anne's and North beach. Great site with a decent distance between other campers too.

Disliked: Gate locked at 9pm. However, we were able to speak to the owner to let us in later. As not too many conveniences, would stay longer if cost slightly less per tent per night.

Liked: Friendly staff. Animals,cycling distance to Blackpool

Disliked: Lots of rubbish left over from other campers. Piles of disused items around the feild. Cow or horse ruts all over the feild made it hard to walk on. We paid for 2 nights but stayed for 1.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Animals and the little shop to get animal feed. Staff members we met were all friendly.

Disliked: Only 2 portaloo toilets which did not flush and the smell was quite horrible.

The pitch itself was very, very uneven, with some divots a good few inches deep. Would be very easy to hurt yourself if not careful and quite difficult to walk

Free roaming goats made me a bit nervous with our dog

Local attractions

This a fine, fine spot for Blackpool adventures. Search the 80 wax figures at Madame Tussauds Blackpool (10 minutes’ drive) for celebrities and musicians you recognise, then for a splendid old-fashioned evening out, catch an event at The Blackpool Tower Ballroom (15 minutes), a ballroom with a sprung dance floor at the foot of the town’s Victorian tower. Blackpool is home to the Sandcastle Waterpark (10 minutes), which has over 18 different slides of all shapes and sizes. At Lowlands Farm Alpacas (five minutes), go on a stroll with some of the good-looking alpacas. If you've got kids who need to let off steam, you may want to plan a visit to the Ascent Trampoline Park Blackpool (five minutes). Keen skateboarders can tackle the ramps at Ramp City Skatepark (five minutes). While there’s plenty to do in and around Blackpool, perhaps you’d like to branch out with some birdwatching at RSPB Fairhaven Lake Visitor Centre & Shop (15 minutes) or RSPB Hesketh Out Marsh (50 minutes) and hikes in the Forest of Bowland National Landscape (from 25 minutes).
