 Myself, my husband and our 2 young children have just stayed the weekend at this campsite. We booked on thursday to go friday as a last minute camping trip somewhere within an hour from our home. We made an excellent choice!
We stayed in a tent without electric. The camping field was lovely, as was the rest of the site which includes a beautiful lake, the facilities were spotless - and we were delighted to find a kettle in the kitchen area as our camping gas ran out on the saturday night, and this meant we could still have a cup of tea!
We had a walk out of the site following the public footpaths from the site to Nicky Nook and back, it was a glorious day and beautiful scenery.
On the saturday night there was Sheepracing and BBQ event held on the site, this was a lovely surprise and the kids loved it.
Highly recommend Fell View Park - We will certainly be back!

Lovely quiet site. Fantastic for walking - didn't use the car at all!
We arrived quite late Friday night and the owner just said to pitch where we wanted and they would call the following day to sort payment. There are 2 shower/toilet cubicles and 2 toilets but there was never a queue. The showers and toilets are basic but clean and functional.
We walked through the woods to Scorton where there is a Spar for essentials and The Priory (cafe/bar) and just further along The Applestore cafe - just fab! We only stayed for 2 nights but wished we could stay for longer.

We have just returned from a lovely relaxing stay at Fell view park. We stayed in a 5m bell tent with electric hookup and there was plenty of room to pitch. On arrival we called the owner and she met us within 5 minutes and showed us the pitches we could choose. We chose a pitch with an amazing view of the fells.
The toilets and showers were always clean and well stocked and there is a laundry room at the back of the shower block, the washing machine and drier only needed £1 for the washing machine and the same for the drier.
This is a lovely quiet site with stunning views and we will definitely return regularly from now on.

We spent 3 nights here at the start of September, using it as a base to visit relatives in Blackpool and Carnforth, which it was fairly central for.
On arrival at the site there is no reception or anyone to greet you. I had to ask another camper who advised me that you needed to call the owners & they would come over to see you. I called and they said we could pitch anywhere apart from the one pitch with a cone which was reserved & that they would be along shortly.
We managed to pick the least level pitch on the whole site I think! We had to put wooden blocks under the caravan tyre on one side to get level!
Anyway, having done that we were sorted. The pitch was half grass and half gravel, and unfortunately we found some dog poo on the edge of the grass which we had to clear up so our 7 yr old didn't tread it everywhere! Not being dog owners we weren't too happy about that, but we didn't see any other mess the whole weekend so think that was just unlucky.
The owner didn't come over straight away so we were left looking for water (which isn't marked as drinking water!) and when asking another camper (very helpful they all were) we were informed that due to a 'bug' in the water locally it all had to be boiled before you could drink it or even clean your teeth with it! I think the owners should have told us that on arrival!
Anyway, we found the water and got hooked up to the electric.
The part of the site we were on was fairly close to the toilet/shower block and washing up facilities but the only bins were small ones next to the washing up sinks. These were emptied every day though so it wasn't a problem.
The shower block has two shower cubicles for women, each with a sink and toilet in as well as a chair and several hooks. Unlimited hot water :-) There are also two cubicles with just a sink in and two with just toilets and then a sink with soap dispenser and electric hand dryer. Very good and clean. The men's apparently have a couple of urinals and just one toilet cubicle as well as similar showers cubicles.
The shower/toilet building also has a room with washing up facilities (as well as the 3/4 under cover outside) and a couple of sofas and some books. A great idea for campers in the bad weather.
We were lucky with the weather on this occasion.
The top part of the site has a big green grass area which was good for the kids to play on as no one had pitched there.
There are well established hedges separating different areas.
At the bottom of the site, through a gate, is the fishing area. We didn't use that but others did.
No play equipment for kids, but they seemed happy enough amusing themselves with their nerf guns!
We didn't explore the local area as we were visiting relatives, but on the drives we took it looked spectacular and worth a visit. During one drive we came across tens of pheasants, each bend we went round there were more!
Overall a good site, could do with a bit more info on arrival, but other than that no issues.

Arrived on site but owners didn't return our call so we chose our own pitch. No lights in the ladies toilets the first night. Site itself is very clean and well maintained, however, the toilet and shower facilities were another matter. They obviously hadn't been cleaned in a while on arrival. When they were cleaned it was a basic basin and toilet clean (don't think they had seen a drop of bleach or toilet cleaner in a while) showers didn't appear to have been cleaned at all. Lovely site in a great rural location, however, for the nightly charge there are better sites with far cleaner facilities.

1st off let me start by the score I gave and why.
1. Site Facilities 9 out of 10 this is because ' and I'm being picky ' they allow dogs and even though most dogs are kept on a lead or very well controlled it still lacks an area for dogs to do their duties, some dogs won't wee or number 2 on a lead and in the surrounding area is farm fields and country roads so you can't let your dog off the lead out of the grounds. 2. Child Friendliness ' again being picky ' even though most people when camping or in a caravan take children, there is no play area for younger children. These are the only 2 things that I could find wrong with the place like I said I an being picky.
Ok down to the nitty gritty, as a campsite I can not fault the area or the customer service. The grounds was clean and tidy, toilettes was spotless. The owner has gone to a lot of trouble to make this site as user friendly as possible you have hot showers, disabled toilettes, sink area with hot and cold water for washing dirty pots, a kitchen with a fridge and freezer which you can use to store items, a launderette so you can wash and dry dirty clothes.
This is the 1st time I have been camping with my wife and 9 year old daughter. I opted for the none power hookup pitch, on arrival I tried to find the none power pitches which I did not find. I called the owner to ask her where they was and she popped down from her farm to assist me she was there in less than 5 minutes. She pointed to a pitch and told me any where around there would be fine ' it was a power hookup pitch, the owner let me pitch my tent close to the utility block and was quite happy for me to do so she only charged me the none power hookup rates. I found the owner to be very polite and very helpful and was always available for any questions even if it wasn't camp site related. I setup my 6 man tent on my own and then went off to pick up my wife and daughter later that day. My wife was expecting some Glastonbury type of field full of tents, I didn't tell her how clean and tidy the site was and when she arrived she was quite shocked at how the place looked, for cleanliness I would give it 10 out of 10 the toilette block was always clean the mens toilettes always smelled fresh.
The grass was cut nice and short and was free from any dog dirt or other objects. They have a fishing pond which I saw was always in use which has ducks and geese and a few other water fowl occupying it.
Would I visit again? yes I would without a doubt
Would I recommend it to any one ? Yes I would.
You have to remember its a campsite and not Butlins or Pontins so there are no big play areas for children and no water slides. It a good clean campsite for tents, Caravans and motorhomes with a great view of some scenery, you really get that countryside feel while staying there. There are things to do which isn't that far away from the site.
We stayed for 2 nights and are talking about a longer stay in the near future. We only went for 2 nights as a tester as my wife and daughter had never been camping before I didn't want to go for any longer just in case they didn't like it.
My wife enjoyed it and wants to go for longer next time, my daughter loved it and won't go to any other campsite which she has already made her point heard as this is her exact words ' Dad when we come here again can we stay for longer ' I said ' we might try somewhere else and see what they are like, I don't know yet we have to think about it and decide what we are going to do, but yes the next time we go camping we might stay for a week or two' she replied ' no Dad I want to stay at that one I might not like any others but I really liked that one '.
So it seems that the choice has been made.
As I stated before my overall rating is 8/10 which the 2 points was deducted for the things I stated at the top and I was being very picky.
This is a Campsite I would recommend for any one to stay, the rates are good, the facilities are great even though I only give it 9/10 it is better than what we expected from just a campsite.

Well what can I say, we previously visited in 2013 and the site is the same as we remember, absolutely fantastic, lovely view of the fells. Toilet/Shower block immaculate and a great lake to take the kids for a walk around, all in all 10/10. The surrounding countryside is good for a scenic drive up to the Forrest of Bowland.
We will be going a good few times more.

A lovely site in Red Rose Lancashire, with good views and walks. The owner was very helpful on the phone and welcoming when we arrived. The site is very well maintained with a very clean and tidy feel. The grass is cut, pathways clear, tidy bin area and hedgerows pleasantly maintained. The showers and toilets were fastidiously clean - swept of all grass, polished glass and chrome, fresh smelling, heated so toasty warm day and night, clean light fittings (no dust or flies) and piping hot water. There was plenty of loo paper and handsoap, and all in all very domestic.

My wife and I used this site as a stop off after a trip to Scotland. Unusually I found this site and it is a superb little gem, fairly small and friendly. We did struggle to find anyone to pay when we 1st arrived, but realised we didn't need to bother as the Farmers wife comes round regularly to check and clean the facilities, and collect fees.
We only had 1 night so were unable to explore too much of the area, although we did have a lovely walk along the quite country lanes, there were also lots of public foot paths across many of the local fields, so lots of walks to do.
The facilities were very clean and well maintained with lots of hot water, both in the potwash and the showers.
The site has the usual chemical waste disposal and it is one of the few that actually caters for mororhomes as it has an easily accessed grey water motorhome drop point, this is something all campsites need to realise is necessary for us poor mototrhomers, as we don;'t have the luxury of the roll away grey water carrier.
All in all my wife and I found this site to be absolutely fabulous and we will be returning to this wonderful campsite
Overall we could not fault this site.

A lovely small site, quiet and with good facilities. Walking on the fells straight from the site was a big attraction. Fishing available on the site lake if that is your thing. This is definitely one to revisit at some point in the future. A good start to our 7 week tour. The owners are very friendly, but not in your face.
