 We visited this site with our two children ages 4 and 7, we were located on the hard standing pitches overlooking beacon fell. Our friends were in the tent field which had a lovely layout and atmosphere.
After reading some of the negative reviews, we were pleasantly surprised. The site was clean and tidy, toilet blocks were clean and fit for purpose, I had no problems on the one occasion I had to wash the pots, there was no queue and no viability issues. The facilities are a short walk from the camping area and yes there are steps and would not be recommended for people with disabilities (although I saw an older couple driving to the toilet/showers).
The club house was welcoming and the children loved the entertainment on offer. There was a mini disco followed by games and opportunity to show off their unique talents. For the adults, bingo, quizzes and a singer on the Saturday.
The pool was a lovely addition to this site and included in the overall price. It was never overcrowded and the facilities were good. I also saw the lifeguard checking the water on each of our visits.
Overall this site is excellent value for money and English weather permitting, we will visit again soon.

Let's start with the positives - great views from the site over the valley and out towards the Fylde coast, although this means the site is quite exposed.
The on-site swimming pool was good and included in the price of the pitch.
Now the not so good - pitches are hard-standing gravel and sloping, they are quite tightly packed together. The area around the pitches is quite scruffy and just feels like it needs a good clean.
The toilet/shower block is a fair trek from the pitches, and they are very, very tired. They need a full refurbishment and also need more regular cleaning, simply not a pleasant place to spend any time. Washing up area consists of 2 sinks, very poorly lit and generally pretty dirty - so be prepared!
The facilities in general are pretty scruffy, consisting of a very limited shop selling the minimal basics (no fresh bread whilst we were there - much better to try the nearby shop, although check the sell-by dates on the chiller food!) and a couple of bar areas - only food available are pizzas heated behind the bar.
The site feels like it needs a really good spruce up, generally tatty and needing some money spending on it.
Anything else? We weren't impressed by the caravan next to us arriving at 11. 30pm and proceeding to noisily set-up for the next hour or so - there doesn't seem to be anything stopping late (or noisy) arrivals. Also not impressed by the same people thinking it was a good idea to throw plastic bags of dog poo into the hedge next to us - is this setting the scene. ?
On the whole a good location but a very tired and scruffy site.

Good site in lovely location. Very friendly campers. Toilets need more more toilet rolls but clean with good facilities.
The play ground is dated but very useful to pass an hour with the children. There is know where to play football the site would benefit from a 'Cage' for outdoor games.
The club is very clean but the chairs are rather uncomfortable in the main room. The chairs in the main TV lounge are comfy leather sofas. Swimming pool excellent.
We were disappointed no hot food outlet on site and a very limited shop facility. Plenty of places to visit without travelling too far.
Overall enjoyed the break and will return.

No drains in touring area for waste water, you have to go down the toilet block. Steep steps down and rough ground walking.
A holiday park with no food on sale no chippy or cafe. Location and views ok. Swimming pool a good size, there's an adult bar with tv to get time away from kids. The concert room at the top end has pool table and table football, big screen tv and leather sofa to sit on.
The bottom end opposite stage has like dining room table and chairs hard to sit on all night
There's a covered smoking area beside the shop. Table and benches to the side of the club house and crazy golf on the other side.
Staff friendly and polite

We have stayed here twice in the last 6 weeks as we are new campers and it is very close to home. The site is clean and well kept. The shower block with it's 24 hour music is cleaned regular.
The bar is ok but the entertainment is aimed at the kids with a mini disco etc. This was fine for us although the main bar was always closed so you had to go to the small bar area to get a drink. Not enough staff was a comment when I asked about it.
We were charged £33. 50 per night for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday which I thought was a bit steep for no entertainment (adults) and no bar staff.
The pool was great, clean and warm. Overall we will always go back as it is so convenient for us but if we are paying peak season prices for out of season service we might as well save it until out of season.

We booked this site after reading about the facilities on site (in particular the swimming pool) as we had three children aged between 4 and 7.
The pool came in very handy when it rained, it was warm and a great place to entertain the kids for a few hours. There was also a very good great play area for the kids with rope slide and swings etc
The pitch was in a field elevated slightly above the main site which made the walk to the toilets a little over 3-4 minute down some fairly steep (if you are under 10) steps. Not much of a problem during the light but a bit of a trek at night time.
The pitches weren't clearly marked but this didn't cause too many issues as the site made sure there was no overcrowding with no more than 9 tents allowed.
Upon booking in each pitch is given a key to the toilet block (£5 deposit). The toilets were stocked regularly throughout but the hand dryers didn't work, there was no soap provided - it just felt like it needed a bit of a refurbishment / freshen up.
The on site shop wasn't well equipped but there was a good shop off site towards the town only 5 minutes drive away. The main town of Longridge was also worth a visit as there were two supermarkets that had everything you could need.
This might sound picky but the price of the pitch was £28 a night I would of expected slightly better washroom facilities.
I would consider going again and would recommend a visit to make your own mind up.

A great site, the pitch was big enough for our folding camper though some larger vans struggled to pitch. Only stayed one night. Great field for exercising your dog.
Being only 25 minutes from our home we were hoping to be able to use it again but after listening to the noise from the clubhouse blasting out till 12 midnight and the noise people made on the way back to their pitches filling the air with colourful language and not forgetting some seasonal pitched visitors thinking its ok to sit, drink and play music in your awning till the early hours.
Other than that the site was easily accessible, great views, friendly staff but due to some of the people it seems to attract and the wailing noise of so called singers from the clubhouse we will not be visiting again.

Having heard some mixed reviews of this site I thought only fair to decide for myself. I was very surprised at how good this site was. The pitch was hard standing, but underneath the the stones was a soft layer meaning the awning went up no problem. Electric hook up included in the price was very welcome. My little lad made friends very easy and made the most out of the excellent pool facilities and the children's play park. The toilet block was to a good standard with plenty of washing/shower cubicles on offer. I would recommend this site to anyone, and I will certainly visit again.

Booked this site for a last minute quick weekend break over the kids easter holidays. We chose the site because we didn't want to trek too far (it's only a 45 min drive away from home).
We normally don't go for large sites with clubs and entertainment but were prepared to give it a go for a couple of nights. On arrival, we were greeted by friendly reception staff who gave us a map of the site, toilet key (for £5 returnable deposit) and information on the weekend's entertainment.
On driving round to our pitch, we could see quite a number of people sat outside their caravans drinking and having two small children, we were concerned whether things would get rowdy at night. However, we needn't have worried as, apart from a bit of noise from people returning to their vans around midnight, the site was otherwise nice and quiet.
The pitch was a reasonable size (we've been on bigger and smaller) hardstanding, but we were on quite a slope - the hitch was practically on the floor by the time we'd levelled up!
On looking round, the general surrounding area looked like it could have done with a good tidy up. The fences separating the pitches needed repairing and a lick of paint and the grass areas needed a good cut. T
here was broken glass all over our pitch and someone had left a dirty dishcloth over the fence at the back of our caravan. There were no wardens visible in the time we were there.
The toilet and shower blocks weren't the best we've been in. There was muddy water all over the floor near the hand basin area and in a couple of the toilets, the sanitary bins were literally overflowing and these weren't emptied the whole weekend.
The children's play area was good, although there was some waste land to the side which had 'keep out' signs around it, but not fenced off enough to keep inquisitive children from straying into it.
As the site is in an ex-quarry, this did leave me worried as to what hidden dangers might be in there! I cannot comment on the swimming pool or gym - the weather was so nice while we were there that we spent all our time out and about.
Beacon Fell is lovely for walking and there are loads of great country pubs for eating around Chipping and Inglewhite. Longridge is a lovely little village with a supermarket, boutiques, restaurants and takeaways.
Back on site, we ventured into the bar one evening to catch up with the Man you game and this was really nice, again with very friendly staff and the adults only rule was well adhered to.
The club next door also looked very smart, although we didn't go in for the entertainment as we went to visit some friends who lived nearby in the evening.
There was a well stocked shop on the site and a small arcade which I should imagine would be a hit on rainy days. So to summarise, this has the potential to be a lovely site - it just needs a bit of TLC.
The views are lovely and the surrounding countryside is some of the best in Lancashire. The entertainment looked fantastic, if that's your sort of thing and it's a site very much geared towards children. If you like somewhere smaller and quieter, then I would suggest this site isn't for you.
I doubt we will return, but it was by no means a bad experience, just personal preference.

Just visited Beacon Fell View for the second time this season. We pre-booked a touring caravan space to be there over the popular bonfire weekend we'd been told about by others back in May. Unfortunately, due to health and safety regulations, the site can't run this anymore - though you can bring your own fireworks ironically!
Not to matter, the site gave us two weeks notice and put on a great alternative weekend of entertainment.
First a few things about the site. It is hilly as it's an ex-quarry. There are many holiday homes and static caravans and it looks like there are around 80 touring spaces - all hard standings with hook-ups. The pitches run off a winding road and as they are on a hill are not level so when your van is level, you'll find the hitch very low to the ground and the rear very high - maybe off the ground and you may need a couple of rocks or blocks in order to get your van level even with the steadies fully extended. Saying that, as the road and pitch are hard standing, you're never trudging mud around and into your van.
The toilet and shower block is large, heated and clean. I've never seen it busy. Next to it is the chemical drain room that can take 4 users at once. These facilities are locked at all times with access being gained by a key you receive from reception when you check-in for a £5 return deposit.
There are two shops - the Pitch shop selling a very large range of caravan and camping accessories at good prices and also a well stocked general store too. During high season, there is a snack bar on site setup under a few gazebos that serves good value basic food. A top tip from others - the number 5 takeaway in Longridge delivers to the site site and touring units too :)
The large club house is very modern, new, clean and well equipped with a large bar, dance floor, modern furniture, large screen TV's and a stage. The bar prices are fine and the Guinness is lovely. There is plenty of seating and the room does get busy at weekends. There is an adults only pub/bar (Maloneys?) at the rear and this was respected and kept child free apart from the odd visit from the kids asking for more money for the small arcade area next door.
After the arcade there is a reception where the staff are friendly and helpful and also deal with bike hire, gym access, mini-golf clubs, check-in etc. Walking on past the gym, you walking into the pool which is immaculate and a good size. The water is clean and nice and warm. It's not too deep and the life-guard is strict and ensures the kids are safe. There is a smaller circular toddler pool also. Quite a few tables and chairs in here too if you just want to relax. Outside there is an all-weather mini-golf.
We loved the site as it is very family orientated. The adventure play park is safe and all the kids played well together. The entertainment has starts with a kids mini-disco, bingo, cabaret of a good quality and sometimes other things like a quiz or karaoke.
The weekend we visited, there was a fancy dress party with nice prizes for the kids and adults who joined in; bingo (I won a fiver dressed as a Mexican!); on the Saturday a 3-hour magic show - excellent for everyone; a superb birds-of-prey show that had the adult and kids spellbound; mini-disco and a great cabaret singer and disco afterwards. On the Sundays, they often lay on a free bouncy castle and some outdoor toys on the nice balcony outside the bar.
We also found two great restaurants nearby in Longridge worthy of mention - Thyme in Longridge itself (at one end of the high-street) and also Frances Italian Restaurant on the road back towards the M6 after Longridge. Both excellent restaurants with good choices for the kids.
We've really enjoyed this site on both visits and for sure will visit again next season.
