I'm looking for a campsite in a central location in Blackpool, we found the perfect site, Hampton Road Caravan Site but unfortunately it is fully booked.  Any suggestions, we're going on Saturday 28th October.

Cheers

 we were looking for 21st - 28th October and found that most of the sites were full, we found one in Lytham (around 8 miles away i think) that did have some availability, not found many sites around Blackpool, most are in the campsite search on UKCS though.

 good luck

Thanks for your help, we need to stay somewhere which is close to the centre as we don't want to drive, we want to drink instead.  I tried Marton Mere but got a short message back telling me that its not a camp SITE, yes, it was in capitals.

I'll have a look at your suggestions, thanks again.

Hi I had the exact same problem and rang around loads of campsites yesterday in and around Blackpool in order to find one for the 24th October for 3 nights. Everywhere is fully booked as it is the kids half term week. We are taking our young grandaughter and niece away for the week and promised them a few days in Blackpool but its been an absolute nightmare finding a site for our motorhome which has any availability. What I found odd is that a lot of sites do not take motor homes for some reason! Anyway, in the end we have managed to book 1 night at Richmond Hill caravan park which apparantley is approx 1 mile from the promendade and the other 2 nights at Kneps Farm which is approx 6 miles away from Blackpool.

I really do not think you will get in anywhere else at this late stage Claire but if you strike lucky and do manage to find somewhere with availability I would grab it quick. As for wanting a drink you will prob have to use public transport or taxis as there are very few campsites in Blackpool located near to all the attractions. Hampton Road is the most central but that is nearly always fully booked up especially at weekends and school holidays.

Best of luck anyway.

Glad you manage to find a site Sonesta I live not to far from Richmond Hill.  Have a look on www.blackpooltransport.com the no. 7 picks up outside the site and will take you into Blackpool Center.  You will like Kneps Farm it is next to Stannah Country Park which has a tourist information center and walks along the river.

Why scoop to there level it only upsets the local residents......like myself....I do feel though that anyone who wants to start a camp site in Blackpool for tents would do well.

Hi, We visit each year and this year when we visited the pleasure beach you can still enter for free and the best deal is to buy wristbands for unlimited rides, And at the moment there are some great offers on. As for the tower we have never really queued but if it's windy the lifts to the top close down so the top is closed for viewing which does spoil it as the main reason to visit is to go to the top ! !. But the circus inside is great. As for places to eat...there are so many ! From takeaways to decent restaurants, Everyone will have a favourite, I would visit and have a look at whats on offer you'll definately find something to your liking

Hi

We usually take the kids upstairs in 'The Manchester' to eat, it is quite a large family room and quite nice up there with a good view of the lights, extensive menu and reasonable prices, there is a small ball pit although your kids like mine will be too old for that, but there are also a few machines to keep them amused.
