Well-kept and landscaped park on the edge of Croston
Among meadows with well-tended garden, play area and dog exercise area
A 30-min drive to Southport and Preston; 50 to Liverpool/Manchester

Score. Royal Umpire Caravan Park at Leyland in Lancashire hits quite a few goals if you're looking for a holiday park within easy reach of old English villages and scenic countryside... and close to the sands at Southport as well as within easy reach of ringing the tills/partying in Preston or lighting up the kids' faces in Blackpool. It's rather ace on site too at this neatly kept and prettily set out site, with a landscaped park and a sunken garden to sink into with a book and a cuppa. There's a mini football pitch for mini Ronaldos (there might be quite a few of these given the park's location 50 minutes from both Liverpool and Manchester), and a well-equipped play area with a soft wood bark surface, swings, slides and a climbing frame if the kids want to make a bit of a racket. The shower blocks are centrally heated and have free hot water, baby changing and disabled access. Dogs will find Royal Umpire right in their league too, as it's dog-friendly and has a big area set aside for canine constitutionals – result.

Harripod Aries camping pod (no pets)

Liked: The road design of the campground is very good. The one-way road makes it convenient for drivers and increases the safety of pedestrians.

Public facilities such as toilets and playgrounds are very clean.

The decoration of Halloween is very attractive.

The camping is located close to the supermarkets and hiking trails, which increase the attraction.

There are sheep and horse near the camping. They are very friendly.

Your staff are very nice.

Disliked: Two pods were stayed in on 1/11/2024. I saw that they were young people who probably did not have to take care of children. They made a lot of noise inside and outside their pods at all night.

We passed one of their pods to go to the toilet and smelt them smoking marijuana.

Hope the bathroom can provide a change of hot and cold water.

Nice pod with everything you needed close by. Very quiet and warm.

Harripod Gemini camping pod (no pets)

Liked: We loved the hive. We stayed in October so the suneas shining but cold in the evening. The heating was great in the hive and the kitchen /bathroom areas had everything you needed. Clean and tidy on arrival. Our grandson loved the freedom to ride his bike all day and play on park. We had a great time.

Disliked: Nothing

Harripod Gemini camping pod (no pets)

Liked: Check in was easy, accommodation very comfortable and warm. Facilities were good. Nice park for the kids and open grounds for a walk.

Disliked: The only slight issue I had was that the accommodation we booked wasn't the one we stayed in. Not really a whinge because they gave us 2 lodges instead of 1 big Glamping pod because there wasn't one available. Which was fine, the lady just seemed surprised that I hadn't been informed of the change.

Local attractions

Royal Umpire Caravan Park's location is right on the ball if you're game for exploring the north west: it's easy to get to all the region's main towns and cities from here as well as the Lancashire coast just to the west and the Forest of Bowland to the north east. Manchester, Liverpool and Blackpool don't need much of an intro from us and should probably have at least a day/night out spent in each, as should Preston, which includes the biggest gallery space in Lancashire at the Preston Free Public Library, and Bolton, once named by boffins as England's friendliest town. Back at base, Croston five minutes' drive away is a comely, and quirky, little village: they celebrate Bastille Day here every 14 July, for example – ooh la la. Eat/drink your way around town at the plentiful cafés and restaurants or, for more substantial shopping, take your readies to the five floors of the Botany Bay Mill in Chorley. Cedar Farm at Mawdesley sells crafts, clothing and gifts and has a monthly farmers' market. If the kids need mollifying after a morning at the shops, take them to Worden Park in Leyland to let off steam: it has open meadows, mature woodlands and a hedge maze to run around in, a miniature railway, nine-hole golf course and lots of wildlife to see.
