Lovely site spoilt by lack of care

Wiswell Shay Farm
This site is in a great position with easy access to Whalley Warm & Dry shop and also near to Ribble Cycles. There are lots of walks nearby & a pub. Access is good and the pitches are large & gravelled. Unfortunately the views are rather spoiled by the car graveyard at the bottom of the site. There is 1 toilet but the toilet paper was never replenished during my 2 night stay. The shower is a hefty £1 extra on top of the £20 night fee. It was not cleaned during my stay - there were discarded empty shampoo bottles etc left in the shower tray. I did try to contact the owner about these issues but no one was around and they did not respond to my text ( their preferred method of contact). At these prices I expected better and decided to use my own facilities instead. The place looked uncared for which is such a shame as it has a lot going for it. On arrival, there is no indication of where & how to pay - I asked another camper. The owner did not appear to be around. I will probably stay at Clitheroe CC club site next time - cheaper & a better standard. I had hoped the owner would have responded to me and rectified matters, so that I didn’t have to leave a poor review, but unfortunately that did not happen.

Great little site

Wiswell Shay Farm
Really nice little site. The pitches at the top of the field are fairly level - managed ok with no ramps for a couple of nights. But further down the field, ramps will definitely be required. One toilet and one shower, but not a problem with a small site. Plenty of hot water and showers are £1 each. Good views from the site and easy walking distance into Whaley, which is well worth a visit. If you walk, it’s about 15 minutes to the centre. Take a torch (or make sure your phone battery is charged) and / or have some reflective clothing as you will need to walk on the road form about 200m and it’s quite a busy cut through. Couple of minutes from A59 and easy access from A671. We have a well insulated motorhome so didn’t notice any overnight road noise at all. Will be back if we are passing through and need somewhere to stop over for a night or two.

Great little site

Wiswell Shay Farm
We spent 6 nights here in May. The site is very easy to find and get sited. Friendly and helpful owner. Needed levelling ramp to get side to side level but easily done. Plenty of space on each of the 5 pitches and easy access to electric hook up. Water & toilet waste close by. Toilet and shower excellent and clean. We enjoyed staying here and will be back. Lots to see in the area and plenty of places to eat in Whalley and Clitheroe.

Recommended site

Wiswell Shay Farm
Stayed mid January 2022 for 3 nights as a base for walking/mtb etc. Site is located on a hill so some levelling ramps etc. required. A great base for a few days or a stop over en route north/south for longer tours.

New Year stay

Wiswell Shay Farm
We booked for a four night stay over the New Year and would have happily stayed longer. Very pleasant site approx 20 minutes walk into Whalley which is a lovely town to visit. Plenty of walks in the area. There is a small amount of noise from the busy A road but not intrusive. Hard standing and EHU available but chocks are required as the sites are it level. Clean toilet and shower block. The only problem was we couldn't find the grey waste drain and couldn't find anyone to ask. Other than that I'd definitely recommend and we'll be back.
