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).

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!

From the manager: Glad you had a good nights sleep James 😴 Thank you for reviewing us 🙏

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
