  • Adults-only Lancashire site close to the attractions of Blackpool
  • A 20-minute drive to Blackpool Pleasure Beach; 55 to the south Lakes
  • Farm shop on site; a pub within five minutes’ walk, a shop 10 minutes
If you’re looking for a peaceful adults-only location for a Lancashire touring break close to one of the most famous seaside resorts in the UK, then Norcross may be the very spot for you. Approached by a rural lane, the site is just 20 minutes’ drive from the bright lights and mega-attractions of Blackpool and on the bus route for the village of Newton with Scales, where there's a basic shop, off-licence and post office. In fact, Norcross is close to lots of places: you can be ordering a pint in the local pub within five minutes’ walk, or carry on to Newton with Scales (10 minutes’ walk). Hop in the car and head to the market town of Kirkham (five minutes’ drive) to pick up bits and bobs in the supermarket or bag a takeaway, while a 20-minute drive will see you in Lytham St Annes for beach walks, a Victorian pier and playing golf on a prestigious links course. Amenities on site are straightforward: a couple of loos and recycling facilities, but you can buy seasonal fruit or veg and plants from the owners’ farm shop and nursery – they also run a smallholding with sheep.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: A lovely quiet campside with some availability for campers/caravans and a field for tents. Clean toilets, and a functional shower with an honesty box. Super-friendly owner and perfect for a visit to Blackpool and/or Preston (we were there for the Radio 2 in the Park). Highly recommend if you just want a quiet campsite with the basics. Also a farm shop in the entrance, but I can't comment on that as we didn't visit!

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: The campsite is basic, however we don't mind that. The owner is so lovely and funny. Seeing horses, sheep and ducks is lovely. There are no plug sockets to dry and straighten your hair, however it didn't matter (we didn't go electric hook up). The shower is an outside cubicle, and the water is lovely and hot. The pub is nice, Bell and Bottle, which is just round the corner. They have music and quiz nights. Kirkham is only 30 minutes walk and there are pubs with sky sports and shops (including a Morrisons). We will stay again at this campsite xx

Disliked: Its not a dislike, its just a comment, the grass on the campsite was a bit long and we had wet trainers hahaha xx

Local attractions

Blackpool (20 minutes’ drive) is the main event here, and the family attractions come thick and fast: daredevil rollercoaster rides and spectacular musicals at the Pleasure Beach, snorkelling with sharks at Sea Life Blackpool, and encounters with royalty at Madame Tussauds. That’s just for starters though; don’t neglect the 4D movies and panoramic views from the Blackpool Tower Eye or miss the chance to see rare Bornean orangutans at Blackpool Zoo. Children keen to see more wildlife? Try flying displays by protected raptors at the Owl and Bird Of Prey Sanctuary (20 minutes) or introduce younger kids to the friendly alpacas and ponies at Farmer Parrs Animal World (half an hour). If you prefer to be out in the fresh country air, active families can have a rip-roaring run around on the inflatables at Blackpool Wake Park (15 minutes). Easy access to Junction 3 of the M55 (10 minutes’ drive) makes it a complete doddle to reach the walking and cycling routes of the southern Lake District National Park (55 minutes) or the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (40 minutes).
