  • On 30 acres of landscaped park, with views over the Ribble Valley
  • Plenty of activities, play areas, pool, crazy golf, arcade and bar
  • Within easy reach of the Forest of Bowland, Pennines and Lake District
You might fall over when you clap an eye on Beacon Fell View, a family-friendly park in 30 acres of landscaped parkland with rather spectacular views over the Ribble Valley. Slap bang in the middle of Lancashire, the park is conveniently placed for day trips to Blackpool but within easy reach of the Forest of Bowland, the Pennines, the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales; golf, fishing and walks are all available close by too. Firmly family-friendly, Beacon Fell View keeps a considerate eye on many little (free) touches to jazz up your break: the indoor heated pool, the table tennis, the paddling pool for little squirts and the entertainment four nights a week in high season won’t cost you a red cent. Even more enticing for exhausted parents, you can send the heirs and heiresses off to the free kids’ club while you catch a match on Sky Sports or down a drink in the adults-only lounge bar. (A family bar is available on site too.) Amenities include hot showers (also free), a covered dishwashing area, launderette and a food shop, and kids can additionally live large at the indoor and outdoor play areas, crazy golf and arcade with amusements and pool table. Pitchwise, all is level, grassy and within five minutes’ walk of reception; guests have access to water points and can park their car by their pitch. For supplies, nearby Longridge has a well-stocked farmers’ market, a couple of supermarkets, two decent pubs serving good food and – quids in again for the kids – an outdoor adventure centre with everything from water orbs to fencing.

Electric gravel touring pitch (large)

Liked: Location was good for the event I was attending . Easy walk into Longridge which is a nice village with a rural feel .

Disliked: Very expensive £45 per night out of season . Reception was closed on arrival at 6.00 , nobody about for 15 minutes , only managed to get some attention via a live in member of staff who happened to be passing. Pitches very small with narrow approach which would be difficult to negotiate if the site was full . Most of the hook ups had been pushed over by people trying to get on their pitches. Didn't use the one on my pitch. Drinking water point full of leaves and other debris. Toilet emptying point was awful , because of the design of it, users had obviously missed the emptying point when emptying their cassette... the evidence was still there. As for the toilets in the toilet block , they looked like they hadn't been cleaned for weeks. I only went in to wash my hands .. Overall it felt like a very tired site that needed basic maintenance and cleaning. I've had campers and motorhomes for 30years using all kinds of sites, this is in the top 3 of rubbish sites visited.

Electric gravel touring pitch (XL)

Liked: The views

Disliked: There were no toilet paper in any of the men's cubicles, which seems to be a common issue here. The toilets were not clean. The swimming pool was not working, which is why we booked this place. There were kids who I presume live on site in a tourer that were just horrible and feral. Our kids were too scared to play out due to being bullied! Not the kind of people you want to holiday with. No maps or info given about where the elsan, bins etc are. Wouldn't stay again.

Miss r. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric gravel touring pitch (XL)

Liked: Jodie and Jason did an amazing job of the entertainment over the Halloween weekend. It was really busy and even though they only had limited staff, they made the weekend amazing for the kids and adults to be fair. You guys work really long hours but you don't let that stop you, my girls had an amazing time so thankyou.

Disliked: Unfortunately the touring toilet block was not well kept, no toilet rolls hand dryers turned off, wet paper thrown all over, however once spoken to reception this was sorted promptly. Just a shame some kids obviously used the paper to make the mess.

Local attractions

Beacon Hill Country Park and the Forest of Bowland are mere minutes away by car and both have miles of walking routes across a range of landscapes including woodland, hills and farmland. Climb to the top of Beacon Hill to see landmarks in all directions including Belvoir Castle, Lincoln Cathedral and the hills of the Peak District. Said to be the inspiration for Tolkien’s Middle Earth (which might make you want to furry foot it there immediately), the Ribble Valley has the 70-mile path the Ribble Way, shopping in towns such as Clitheroe or munching one’s way around the Ribble Valley Food Trail. The River Ribble is a big hook for anglers landing chub, barbel, trout and salmon. City day trips are in all directions too: the kids’ eyes will light up with a trip to Blackpool… and for shopping, the Trafford Centre and Liverpool One of Manchester and Liverpool respectively should empty your wallet nicely…
