  • Peaceful, isolated site on a secluded Lancashire farm
  • A half-hour drive from Blackpool beach and Forest of Bowland
  • Simple grass pitches down a long farm track, 10 minutes from the M6
Oh to be on a peaceful, secluded spot in the lovely Lancashire countryside, with forests, the Lakes and big cities not far off… such is the atmosphere at Moss Rose Campsite, a relaxing site about 10 minutes’ drive from the M6 and half an hour north of Preston. This is a splendid spot for those who’d like a bit of peace and quiet – pitches are on a simple grass field well away from any neighbours. You’ll have to travel down a long farm track to get here (it’s rather rough and bumpy, so take it slowly) but the reward is a spacious and secluded stay on a small traditional family-run working farm with views out over fields of farm animals. (The owners describe it as ‘somewhat alike to The Darling Buds of May’, for those who remember such telly treats.) Because of those farm animals, dogs are welcome as long as they are well behaved and kept under control. Kids are also very welcome, and you’re able to set up barbecues for your evening meal (as long as you’re careful with them…) There’s a pub a couple of miles away if you fancy a pint or a bite to eat. Day trips around here might take you to the coast at Blackpool or Morecambe, inland to the Forest of Bowland or Lake District or for a bit of city action in Liverpool or Manchester, both of which are a little over an hour’s drive away (also making this site also a good place for city dwellers who fancy a quick escape without a long drive).

Sunflower bell tent

Liked: Brilliant, The hosts were amazing and very helpful, setting was rural and very relaxing. We stayed in a bell tent, which was beautiful, surrounded by fairy lights. The fire pit next to the tent added to the experience, toasting marshmallows with the little one and watching the fire burn down slowly through the night. The toilet and shower facilities were basic but were clean and tidy. Would highly recommend.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: So much thought had gone into the site and amenities even though a small site. The family owners were lovely people and genuinely interested and couldn’t do enough to help. The space is incredible between pitches, most sites would have ten times the amount of pitches on the space but they wanted to conserve the field as much as possible for wildlife having recently planted 2m wild flower seeds. Coffee machine was great, as was the provision of a microwave, freezers, charging lockers and the honesty shop stocked with everything from camping equipment essentials, food and hygiene products. Great children’s play area equipped with toys and 10mins drive to the lovely village of Garstang. Stayed as I was doing a sky dive at black knights which it was conveniently located for, as well as Wallings ice cream farm 😋

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: We liked the very friendly and helpful welcome, and the communications before arrival. The pitches were well spaced out and the facilities were good, and though we didn't use one this time it's nice to know we could hire a firepit if we'd wanted.

Disliked: None!

Local attractions

Before you get straight to your adventuring, there’s a farm shop and ice cream parlour called Wallings Ice Cream (15 minutes' drive) that will make sure your tummy’s well prepared for all the action. For action, the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (half an hour) is just the place - have a pedal between rural villages, picking up farm produce as you go. The Lake District National Park (45 minutes) has plenty more trails or watersports for those looking to get a dip in. But what about those city days out also? The bright lights of Blackpool (half an hour) are hardly far away, and for more sightseeing, Manchester (an hour and 10 minutes) and Liverpool (an hour and 15 minutes) make for some great day trips. If you’re a fan of the busy buzz and action Lancaster (half an hour) has museums and a city park or Morecambe (half an hour) has a splendid seafront… but for more wildlife instead, head to the Wild Discovery animal park (half an hour).
