 Just passing. 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 (7&4) 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.
Longbridge 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

Excellent site! Would recommend this site to everyone! Where do I start!
You are greeted by the owners who are polite and helpful and very cheerful. They are always happy to help with any problems. Pitches are excellent, really spacious and have plenty of room for awning and car, chairs, tables, barbecue's etc. Pitches are hard standing and grass and are kept immaculate.
Toilet facilities are excellent. They are cleaned daily and are always immaculate. Shower cubicles are very spacious and have separate sink area, there is a chair in each cubicle and hooks to hang clothes on.
For dog lovers there is a fabulous dog walk area, which has various grass path ways which are mowed to allow you and your dog to follow it round. The grass pathways allows you to take the long walk round or you can come out at various parts which allows a shorter walk. It really is fabulous, and there are deer to be spotted (I saw two whilst walking my dog)!. Dog bins are provided throughout the dog walk and are emptied regularly, which I thought was really good. There is a stream if your dog likes a bath!
Site has lovely views and is very peaceful, We stayed at the top of the site which is near the main road. People have stated that traffic is noisy! We stayed 2 weeks at the top of the site and had no problem with any noise, yes traffic passes by (well it is a road)! but this is definitely not a problem. I would and will happily stay at the top of the site.
Ribchester village is 10-15mins walk, it has lovely pubs, and shops, it also has a social club which is very cheap and you can play snooker, staff at the club are really friendly. There is a Spar for any provisions you need.
Longridge is approx 3 miles away and has lots of pubs and shops, cinema and Sainsburys.
This really is a diamond of a site, which was recommended by friends. I plan to spend lots of time here throughout the years. It is excellent value for money.

I concur with all of the previous reviews as I cannot add anything that hasn't already been said.
We will be returning in the near future, and looking forward to doing so.
Ribchester itself was a little disappointing, in that there was very little in the way of keeping us interested as we are not Romano students, but Longridge, and Southport were fine, as was Clitheroe with it's castle and museum.
All that is left to say is
Thank You for the hospitality

From our arrival we were impressed by the helpfulness of John, who is to be congratulated on the cleanliness and smooth running of the site. He is to be seen all day working around the site. The shower and toilet facilities are immaculate. The dog walking area ideal and there are plenty of dog bins. Ideally situated bins and drinking water taps. All in all would recommend this site and we definitely will be returning. A bus stop nearby and just a short walk to Ribchester village with excellent pubs and Roman museum and tea shop. Shops for provisions in the village. Convenient for travelling around Lancashire. Lovely views and peaceful surroundings. Good deals midweek and for senior citizens. A gem of a campsite.

Just returned from an excellent weekend at this gorgeous site. It is immaculate, clean showers and stunning views. There are plenty of gravel hardstanding pitches, washing up area for tents, the tent field is really nice and there is a woodland walk from there. This site is fantastic for a relaxing weekend break and within walking distance of Ribchester where there is a local park/river/nice pubs. Highly recommend with very friendly site owners.

Just spent 2 nights end of June at Dale Hey Farm. Tent with EHU. Advised by Catherine that they have just started allowing tents to pitch there, and we we shown to a large flat grassed area with room to park car at the side. Toilet/Shower block quite a walk away but they were clean, and included in the overall cost. Hot shower, although operated on push button, found if you leant on it from behind it kept a constant flow. Nice cubicles which included a separate sink area and seat & hooks for clothes and towels. An easy downhill walk to Ribchester with scenic walks around the surrounding areas. In the other direction towards Longridge, approx 3 miles away where there were more shops and pubs. We didn't explore the area to it's fullest, as only on a short break. Nice dog walk area (although we didn't take our dog) which circumnavigated the site and a path was neatly mown out for the walker, whilst letting dogs go off exploring in the overgrown areas. Overall a very enjoyable weekend, with hospitable hosts, Catherine & John, who were there to give advice and assistance but not intrusive.

This is an excellent site. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The site is immaculately maintained and I would have no problem recommending it. There is space for children to play (it there is no rally on there is a whole empty field). There are clear paths giving access to the woods and walks direct from the site so no need to use your car, always a bonus. It is a short walk into Ribchester and the local Spar shop, again no need to use the car. Fab site, thoroughly recommended.
