Liked: Lovely site with plenty of space. Clean well maintained toilets. Booked very last minute so didn’t know what to expect but owners sent message with all required information which was really helpful. Wouldn’t normally use a fire pit but did on this occasion and so glad we did. Plenty of wood supplied, we didn’t get through it all. Perfect short getaway and will return.

Liked: Flat pitches, friendly owners - incredibly helpful, clean facilities, fire pit was well stocked and we really liked the quiet campsite rules.
Disliked: Ground was a little bit hard (bring a mallet) Motorway is a bit noisy at night (bring earplugs).

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: I was only able to stay for one night but would have loved to had time to stay longer on this peaceful country campsite.
The tents were spaced a good distance from each other, which as a solo female gave me the privacy and calmness I was seeking.
I was given a friendly welcome by the owner and felt if I needed anything they were at hand to help.
The entrance to the campsite is gated and I felt comfortable and secure which is important to me camping alone.
Definitely recommend for a quiet relaxing stay.

Many thanks for your review 🙏

Liked: The site was well kept and had good toilet and water facilities.
While there was some traffic noise from the motorway, it was not too disturbing.
The site was also quite from 10pm as large parties are not allowed l, which meant we got a good night's sleep!

Liked: Excellent relaxing break. Non regimented site in a beautiful setting. Lovely friendly owners who messaged with directions and were happy to help with any questions etc. Nice walks directly from the site but still close to Chorley. Toilet block basic but always kept clean. Nice fire pit. Lots of space and site quiet and relaxing.
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: EVERYTHING!
Such a peaceful and relaxed campsite. Very friendly and welcoming. Not crowded. Plenty of space for everyone. Lots of room between tents so nice and private.
Stunning countryside and short walk to pub and shops. Short drive to B&M and Aldi for any camping bits you've forgotten!
We also used local driving range which was an 8 minute drive away.
On site toilets so clean and ideally situated in corner of camping field. Cold running water but I just took a kettle of hot water to wash my face. Toilet roll, hand soap and paper hand towels provided. There's also a full length mirror in there which I found helpful.
Hose pipe and cold water tap by toilet block too.
Dogs welcome but kept on leads so you barely know they are there.
All you can hear is the birds.
Lovely sunny position. Sun in field all day. Can watch the sun rise and sun set.
Can park car next to tent which means you can store things in your car to leave extra room in your tent.
We have had the most chilled and relaxed weekend and will definitely be returning.
Disliked: Can't think of one thing!
