Questions:-  (This review is from the point of view of motorhomers driving a Swift Kontiki 669 tag axle – 8.56m)

What are the pitches like?                

5 hardstandings + grass area for tents.  Pitches well laid out, but fairly tight to access.  Decent size and fairly level – we didn’t need any blocks

Is there water on each pitch?            

There is one tap shared but a small site so easily accessible

What is the electric like?           

10A– we had no problems.

Drainage?     

Yes

What’s the site access like?        

This amazing little site is located in a fairly unlikely spot in a residential area.  In effect you enter via a house drive and the site is in the back garden!  However, do not let this put you off – it was one of our favourite sites 🙂  We were so happy here that we stayed an extra night and had a daytrip to Malham in the Yorkshire Dales rather than move to a site in the dales.

What are the Sanitary facilities like?    

Toilets:                              1 in each shower room.  Spotless 🙂

Toilet paper provided? Yes                                                                                                                   Showers:                          2 individual shower rooms

What other facilities are there?    

Bins and CWD

Kitchen available for campers use, containing a fridge, microwave, sink and washing machine.

 

 

No internet on site, but very good signal if you have your own.

Very welcoming.  Really lovely people.

How much is it?     

We paid £11 per night including electric.

What’s the area like?            

This site is about 5 miles from Blackpool itself (and it feels like a long drive), but this is a pleasant residential area with local shops and a chippie fairly close by.  There’s a nice walk into Knott End where there’s a beach, normal local shops, a nice bistro and a pub (The Bourne Arms)
