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.
Is there any internet; if so how much and how good?
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)
