Dale Hey saved our first trip in our caravan after our original choice let us down at last minute. Turned out to be for the best as this is an excellent site. Very clean and tidy and well laid out. We had a choice of very good hard standing pitches, with picturesque views all around. Toilet/shower block was also very clean and warm with all facilities. Ideal base for exploring area with forest of bowland on the doorstep. Clitheroe and Skipton are a short drive away and Ribchester, where we had a lovely meal at ‘Ribchester Arms’ a 15 minute walk. We are new to caravanning so we only stayed for one night to try out towing and using caravan. We got welcome reception from site owners and we would definitely return to this site for a longer stay.

We re-visited this site as we were nosey to see how much it had changed since we’d last called in five years ago. Delighted to see the amazing improvements. The location is fabulous! Facilities are great! The place is clean and tidy and quite enchanting! Lots of effort given over to environmental issues and to creating a slightly olde worlde curiosity. Nice! Good access, good value, and well run. The owner had time for a chat and was an entertaining character – so proud of his achievements and so ambitious to create the perfect holiday setting. We saw him handling minor issues with common sense and subtlety, a thing campers usually like to see. I recommend a visit. Wish I could guarantee good weather! Take your waterproof – we’ve seen this place sunny, but by golly it can be damp too!

This was a very nicely kept site, both clean and tidy with a helpful and friendly welcome from the owners. The site is not over large and was a nice mix of camping and touring areas with a rally field also. Pitches for caravans were hard-standing and pretty level. On site was a nice short walk through the woods which was a great way of getting some air before bedtime with our three year old who enjoyed looking at the insects and trying to hunt out the deer! It is a very short drive into Ribchester which has some nice pubs and a spar shop. We visited the Roman museum which had some child friendly activities on at the time and the River Ribble was also lovely to walk along. The site is very handy for a number of local attractions. We will most definitely consider another visit.

Phoned on route to get in here as a brief stop heading south, and ended up staying a few nights. A great friendly welcome with advice of local attractions to suit the kids. We were given a choice of pitches which allowed us to decide which fitted our needs. A very tidy site with all caravan pitches being hard standing. The tent pitches looked great, allowing you to tuck yourself in designated areas that were very private and quite a distance from your neighbour. The dog walk, as others have suggested is not confined to dog walkers. In fact we allowed the kids to go wandering on this on their own with the 2 way radios and they loved it. You can walk into the village for a few pints in the pub (food looked good, but didn’t try it). Plus the advice to visit the play area was very much appreciated with the obligatory ice cream shop in the café opposite. Longridge was great for stocking up on supplies with a Butcher/Baker and a supermarket with a petrol station which also had the cheapest fuel in the area. We did go to the Wild Boar Farm nearby, which wasn’t as good as we were led to believe. It was quite pricey for what it was, although the Wild Boar Burgers were nice, and the ice cream was fantastic and cheap. The kids enjoyed the “death slides”, but sadly the go karts / tractors / ride on things were in a poor state so not much use to many kids at a time. Overall a nice site and one we will return to in the future.

We arrived at the site to find the owners were away however the couple looking after the site were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We were on the Rally site. All the pitches are hard standing with grass for the awning most pitches are on a bit of a slope so blocks are needed to level the caravan. Fantastic views of the hills and we had a few walks around the wooded area. Every thing was clean tidy and well looked after. A place to return to We went to Clitheroe a great little place with interesting shops a castle and a market. Ribchester is small with some nice walks along the River Ribble and a small Roman museum.
