can anyone recommend any nice campsites within walking distance of the waterloo pub/hotel ..as we want to take the tent to the champion of champions (crown green bowls) in september.

we usually stay in a b and b but would like to go in the tent and take the kids.

have you got a street map for blackpool ? if so see if any of these is near enough

Hi Sue and John,

Don't bother with windy harbour it is miles away.  Because Blackpool is really a built up area the nearest sites which allow tents would be Pippers Heights on Peel Road.  To travel from there would take around 10/15 mins by heading back towards the motorway, go straight across the first large roundabout passed B & Q warehouse and turn first left at the large roundabout going down the slip road, you then need to join the road and get into the right hand lane at the next roundabout go straight on...on to Yeadon Way (which was the old railway line) follow this road at the small roundabout go straight on at the next roundabout turn right you will see Aldi on your left pass it and turn left at roundabout and join right hand lane turning right into Waterloo Road....and you will see the pub....The above may seem long but it is the quickest route and you could park at the pub or over the other side of the traffic light as there is no residents parking in that part.  I do hope this helps.

Hi Sue and John,

If it helps we stayed at Pipers Height it was lovely and not far from the centre, would recommend it.

Kirsty.
