 A very pleasant site with excellent quality pitches.
Access is controlled via an automatic barrier with swipe access.
There is a large, relatively recently planted wood with mown paths and interesting views, which is excellent for walking and/or dog walking, attached to, and owned by the site.
The toilet facilities seem to be nearly new and in excellent condition, there are no additional charges for the use of showers.
All EHUs are 10 Amp.
There is a SPAR/Post Office about half a mile away in Ribchester which sells newspapers and basic provisions. There is much better shopping available about 2 miles away in Longridge with a Sainsburys, COOP and some excellent butchers.
There are 3 basic areas used for camping/caravanning they are.
1) A six van site near the road, each pitch with more than adequate hardstanding and EHUs surrounded by really high quality grassed area.
2) A similar area more slopping each with hardstanding and EHU, further from the road used mainly for longer term pitches.
3) An all weather/winter site with 12 EHU leading to a rally area without facilities.
The site is well run, well managed by John and his family who go out of their way to be pleasant and helpful. The site fees £13. 00/ night are very reasonable for the area.

Have just returned from 2 nights at one of the most peaceful, well-kept sites we have used. Catherine (owner) was extremely friendly and helpful. The facilities were spotless and with 3 toilets, 3 washbasins and 2 showers were more than adequate (just for the girls but I assume the boys is the same). The views across the Ribble valley and hills were amazing and there are many walks near by. Especially if you have dogs with you, there is a wonderful woodland walk on the site with 'poo bag' bins dotted around it. Whilst walking around the woodland walkway in the evening we spotted an owl, a couple of pheasants and some mysterious rustlings in the undergrowth !
Would highly recommend this site.

We also stayed on the little 6 caravan bit, have to say the road noise was a bit disturbing I think the locals must use is a thoroughfare as they don't half speed past!
That said the site is beautiful, the woodland walk is fab for everyone our dogs loved it - I even spotted a deer! Ribchester itself is within easy walking distance and we visited the back bull and the white bull both lovely with real ale - my husband was in his element.
We will be back as soon as we can but we'll go for the bigger touring bit away from the road.
Defo one to return to.

A gem of a site, clean, tidy and well maintained. We stayed for a long weekend on a hard standing pitch over looking a forest and Pendle hill (stunning), for just £12 a night all in.Does slightly miss a playground for young ones to be amused but there is a great park in Ribchester itself.
Very happy dog though with a fabulous dog walk that has plenty of bins, & different paths so you don't get bored walking the same route.
We have already booked for the August Bank Hol & at £14 a night great value!

This is a super site in a wonderful location. Great access on good roads not far from the M6, when pitched it feels remote and in touch with the countryside. Each pitch is of a decent size, hardstanding with EHU and water nearby. The brand new toilets and showers were warm, clean and without queues. The owner was so down to earth and helpful it was refreshing to be able to stay on a site where attention to detail and care take priority. More remarkable was the price at £12. 00 per night this is superb value for money. On this visit we did not have the opportunity to visit Ribchester and Longridge we will be back to explore in the near future.

We stayed here for 5 nights on our first ever caravan holiday. John, the owner, was very helpful and always there if we needed him. We were in the small 6 van field which was lovely with great views. This field is closest to the road but there wasn't too much road noise.
The site is very well kept, the shower block was always spotless and well stocked. There are 3 loos, one basin and 2 shower cubicles in the ladies and similar in the gents. The showers are free, the push-button type and there is a separate area with a chair and hooks for clothes and a wash basin in each cubicle. There are plenty of water points around the site, general waste and recycling bins and a small information board. There are no pot-washing facilities.
The bottom of the site is planted with young trees and makes a very pleasant walk and a perfect dog-walk, with plenty of poo bins.
It is a 15-20 minute walk downhill to Ribchester where there is a Spar and two pubs, both of which allow dogs in. We were recommended the Ribchester Arms and found the food to be very good quality and reasonably priced. Take a torch if you're walking back in the dark as, although there is pavement all the way, the street lights stop about half way.
The bus to Longridge and Clitheroe stops outside the site if you stick your arm out!
If you're travelling to the site from the M6, there is a rather hairy bend in Ribchester - fine if nothing's coming the other way but a bit nerve-wracking for us novices when we met a huge oncoming coach. We went back home the other way, through Longridge!
All in all, we had a great holiday at a very reasonable price on a lovely site. We look forward to going back soon.

Stayed for 2 nights on the 5 van site for £10 inc. EHU and W.C. Facilities. John+Catherine, the owners were most pleasant and helpful.
John a mine of information on local hostelries offering fine food and real ale,the White Bull and Ribchester Arms being fine examples.
The site was beautifully kept with well planned walks incorporated, a joy for responsible dog owners. Wonderful views in all directions from the site's elevated position.
An excellent base for walkers wishing to explore all the attractions the Ribble Valley has to offer, and the bus stops outside the site for those who wish to travel further.
Couldn't fault anything, the sun shone, Catherine's home made plum jam went down a treat and we will be back often to this excellent site.

Stayd at dale hey for 3 night we were made very welcomed by john the owner.
What a brilliant site especially for dog owners there are nice walks for dogs on well kept paths. The site is well kept the best iv seen so far. The toilet block is clean with plenty of hand washing facilities, I didn't see any children's play area on site but there were no children there at this time.
Ribchester is well known for the roman ruins but we didn't visit due to weather
This is a well kept site and I will definitely return.

We have recently stayed at Dale Hey caravan park & what a brilliant site this is! We are new to caravanning & this was our first trial outing. We thought we knew what to do-but soon found out we didn't, but we were met by John the owner who helped us so much, it would take ages to describe all the help he gave us (and Colin, the site caretaker, who was brilliant too). We can't thank them enough for making our holiday so good. The site is lovely. Well maintained, shower block modern & spotlessly clean. The views from the site are breathtaking. Highly, highly recommended. We'll be returning.

Stayed here for one night. Had high hopes after looking at website.
Needed to stay here as it was near to family that we wanted to visit. Struggled to contact the site to see if there was space, had to pretty much bombard them with phone calls & emails before we got a response.
There was some confusion over whether we'd want to use the site's facilities which cost extra, that wasn't their fault.
However, we got the impression that (perhaps as non members?), we weren't particularly welcome. We struggled to find a pitch - the remaining ones were mostly occupied with other camper's visitor's cars who had decided to use pitches as a car park! The owner made zero attempt to ask any of them to move to let us on. Also made a rude comment when we mentioned lack of available pitches (we had phoned prior to check availability). This left us with the awkward dilemma of having to either knock on someone's caravan or hope someone would notice we needed to get in (which thankfully they did).
Pitched next to a group of people who were watching football at high volume in their awning. The owner joined them, and in fact, appeared very friendly with all the other campers except us! When we wanted to find the owner to ask if we could pay to use the facilities he was nowhere to be seen, and did not answer the door when we knocked on the door as advised.
Didn't really check out the facilities or walks, just got up & left in the morning.
Pitches landscaped & grass areas pretty.
There was a rally on site as well - we experienced no disruption from them.
Have read all the positive reviews for this site and come to the conclusion that we must have experienced an off day!
