Jiffy the motothome

Just returned from this fabulous site. Great welcome from the owners, with loads of tourist information to keep us busy. The site was brilliant with amazing views. Even though the weather wasn't at it's best, we were out and about every day. Beacon Fell is just a short walk up the hill, which is stunning. Loads of wildlife and even more views. We could even see Blackpool Tower from there in the distance - well I could, but my husband said it wasn't! Loads of public footpaths to explore. There are many small businesses to visit in the area, which were mentioned in the information pack. You can sit in your van and watch the sheep, rams, hares, pheasants, owls and many more creatures going about their daily routines. There was so much to do, but we couldn't do a lot as we had a flat tyre, which John kindly helped us sort out, so we'll definitely be going back to explore some more with hopefully better weather! Thanks again for a wonderful time.

Secluded and peaceful

A lovely well kept hidden gem of a CL . Adults only and 5 well placed pitches with loads of room , water and grey waste on each pitch. We were warmly welcomed by Helen who gave us information on the surrounding area and the Forest of Bowland. We later met John who was most chatty and offered advice on areas to walk . There’s great views of the fells from each pitch and you can watch the sunset too. This CL is quite remote and you need to follow the directions given and NOT your sat nav. If coming from the north I’d continue to J 32 and not take 33, thinking to can short cut the way in. The surrounding roads are narrow with some hump back bridges, certainly not the way to go if your towing or in a large Motorhome. We were able to get a Tv signal, without a booster, but internet/ phone signal is intermittent if any ( you may need to walk around to get a signal.) Go with enough provisions to last as there are no nearby shops ( about 5 miles away) . We had booked in for 2 nights to visit the Garstang agricultural show , but the site was so nice we stayed an extra night. We’ll certainly be back as it seems an ideal spot to do some walking from,or to just get away from it and chill. Oh, and if your into stargazing, this site is DARk! with no light pollution.

Peaceful with lovely views

Don't rely on your Satnav - follow the website directions! A very well-kept site, with very friendly owners, Helen & John. We were welcomed by Helen, who gave us lots of information and a cracking little book containing lots of info about the area. All the pitches are hardstanding with plenty of room between them. The views are far reaching and change with the weather. We spent 4 nights here, just chilling out. In the late afternoon / early evening we could sit and watch paragliders and glider planes for hours. The farm stock and wildlife kept us entertained, with calves and sheep in the surrounding fields, and fishing ponds adjacent to the site. We visited Beacon Fell and could see the Great Orme of Llandudno and Blackpool Tower from the same vantage point at the visitor centre, though unfortunately the VC was shut. We had a meal at the Cross Keys, Whitechapel, be aware the portions are huge. TV reception is a bit hit and miss, our caravan neighbours had a signal, but we didn’t, and the mobile phone signal is poor, but you can walk onto the lane and pick up 4G. As said elsewhere, the site is dog friendly, but there is nowhere on site to walk a dog, you have to leave the site and walk along what can be a busy single-track country road – especially at, or near, harvest or silage time. We were aware of these issues when we booked, and they were not detrimental to our stay. Will we go back – definitely.

Immaculate, well-run site - a Top Site!

What a lovely, well-run, immaculate site, with stunning views and a very warm welcome - certainly one of the nicest CLs that I have ever stayed at. Each of the 5 level hardstanding pitches has electric hookup, water, and a waste water drain, and there are several picnic tables/benches on site. All that was needed was a little sunshine! Despite the somewhat long set of directions, by following Helen's detailed instructions (from the North), I arrived without getting lost - definitely a bonus! Although I have the CAMC satnav, as this kept 'losing satellite connection', the written instructions were an essential backup. The lanes are reasonably quiet for dog walking, but as my stay was only for a night, I didn't get to explore very much, but I did enjoy the views even in the grey, windy weather. Definitely a very good CL, and one to which I shall return. Many thanks, Helen.

Wonderful, Wonderful Place!!!

We needed a space for some much needed rest and recuperation. This was definitely it. We got a wonderful welcome from Helen, with some really useful info and quickly followed by their two lovely friendly dogs. John checked on us the following day given the very cold couple of days we were experiencing. Each pitch has water and EHU which given the 'not-so-great' weather, meant no long trips to top up the van. The whole site is extremely well maintained, level hardstanding pitches, with good recycling and chemical toilet emptying facilities. Some lovely local walks, with easy reach to Beacon Fell Park along quiet country lanes. Easy access to Preston if you want or need supplies and equally easy access to Lytham, Blackpool and some good North West coast line. The view from any of the five pitches is beautiful and even on the full day of bad weather we had, watching the light frequently change on the hills and fells was a joy to behold. We will definitely return to this place of peace and tranquillity with friends. Thanks Helen & John

Great Little Site

This site is well maintained with power, water and grey water at teach pitch. All pitches are hard standing and fairly level. The central grassed area has two picnic tables so you can sit out and watch the sunset making the fells change colours. Did several 10+ mile walks mostly off road, but the lanes were very quiet as compared with some parts of the Dales and the Lakes. If you like history, there are some great water mill ruins in the Brock Valley and a Neolithic stone circle at Bleasdale. Mrs Bell was so welcoming and full of great tips about the area. Very little light pollution and no noise at night. We will return.

A number of very good points but a bit disappointing

First the good points: 1. The view from the pitches over the fells of the Forest of Bowland is superb. 2. Fully serviced pitches. 3. Greeted by the owner on arrival and given an excellent information pack of the Forest of Bowland and a leaflet with plan of the paths around the nearby Beacon Fell Country Park, from the top of which there are panoramic views over much of Lancashire. Disappointments 1. Notwithstanding that the pitches are laid out with gravel to a high standard and well maintained, there is a lot of gravel and only a limited amount of grass around each pitch. 2. There are no 'off-road' footpaths immediately near the site and although there are some not too far away, it does mean walking a bit along narrow roads on which there are quite a few vehicles. This might not be too important for some people but for us dog owners we like to be able to get off-road from a site straight away if possible. Overall a site well worth visiting but dog owners might find it a bit restrictive

A site with a view!

Just returned from three nights on this absolute gem of a site having been warmly welcomed by Helen on our arrival. As noted in most reviews the site has wonderful views of the fells... when it's not raining... For most of our stay it did rain but it did relent on our last night only to be replaced snow instead! John came over in the morning to check we were OK and to let us know that the local lanes were all passable if a little wet and slushy - it was a reassuring touch. It's clear this site is owned by members - well laid out, good sized hardstanding pitches each with its own water supply and grey water waste drain. For £14 this is great value for money! The directions to the site are also spot on and well worth following as many of the local lanes can be a little tight and there a couple of hump backed bridges we went over from around Garstang which would be too sharp for a car and caravan... Of the local towns and villages, we enjoyed Chipping although it was out of season and Clitheroe which offered a lot of interesting and individual shops as well as a castle and plenty of decent places to eat. This was our first time here but it certainly won't be our last visit - I suspect availability may be a challenge in the warmer months... It's worth pointing out that any mobile signal is intermittent and we struggled to get decent TV reception but these are hardly show stoppers and won't stop us returning. Many thanks Helen & John!

Lovely Visit

We have just spent the weekend at Dale View and thoroughly enjoyed it, most friendly welcome off Helen the owner, easy access to Beacon Fell and good area for cycling, lovely views from our pitch, no nearby pubs or shops so if you want to get away from it all this is the site.
