 This is the second time we have visited this site and we love it! Lovely location, nice and quiet if you want to get away from it all, yet the village of Scorton is only 10 minutes drive away.
The pitches are mostly flat some with electric hook up and some without.
The site is well maintained and very clean. The toilet and shower facilities are excellent. Warm, clean and regularly serviced. The hair dryer is also a welcome bonus! Love having a laundry room on site as well, as we have small children, so this means we can 'pack light' and wash and dry clothes if necessary.
The owner of the site is lovely and very helpful (we had horrendous weather over the bank holiday. Strong winds and rain all night, and she bought bacon butties round the site the morning after, which lifted everyone's spirits and we thought was a lovely gesture)
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this site, and we will definitely be returning many more times :-)

Only stayed one night but that would've been enough anyway. Nice enough location but bit fiddly to get to as a M6 stopover. Not much info on display about how/where to pitch or about facilities, etc. Only 2 showers per sex so good chance you'll have to wait.
Most off putting thing was the other campers and the large number of dogs there - it was a bit like pulling up at Crufts!

This site is an absolute gem the site lady was most helpful and she was always doing something around the camp such as cleaning etc, the wash rooms were fantastic I can not praise this site enough I have been camping in one form or another all my life mainly in a caravan and we have now gone back to a tent I have to say this was the nicest site I have ever been on and we will be returning again next year

We stayed here for two nights to break up a trip returning from Europe. The site is down a single track so makes it interesting if towing a large caravan and a car comes the opposite way! However it is a lovely quite site, very well maintained, good facilities and in lovely surroundings. Hard standings for tourers and motor homes with plenty of grass for tents, ample power hook ups. Toilet block contains showers, a kitchen, laundry with washing machine, dryer, iron and ironing boards and usual dish-washing facilities. Nice hot showers with proper cubicles.

A lovely well kept site in the middle of the country with beautiful views. Fell View is the perfect place if you like to walk, cycle or fish, love to be in the open and love the sound of cows, sheep, ducks, geese and horses. The site was almost full with a mix of campervans, caravans and tents bringing young and old together.
There is a field with its own gate, at the entrance, which was full with regulars who all come together as a group. The other gate takes you to the lower area which houses the toilet block and is on a slight slope with hard standings to one side and grass to the other for tents, the middle field caters for everyone with hard standings and the top field is for tents both being lovely and flat.
There is a footpath from the shower block leading to all the fields and the separate gated field is just off the shower block to the left. To the right there is a gate where there is a well stocked fishing lake making everything easy to access. At the shower block there is a laundry room to the back of the building to the left side the bins are stored and to the right there is a water tap and to the front of the building you have the male, disabled and female showers and toilets.
The ladies have two separate toilets, two separate cubicles each having a wash basin, mirror, hooks for clothes and lockable doors for privacy. There are two separate rooms with a hand basin, mirror, toilet, modern shower cubicle with free hot water, fold up chair and plenty of hooks to hang your clothes up. There is a single sink with paper towel dispenser, mirror, soap bottle and a small bin which is not big enough. Paper towels could be found on the floor and bits of loo roll too. There is nothing worse than stepping in to a shower and finding no hot water, yes this happened several times, I put this down to the site being busy, but really this should not happen. Quite often, I'm told the same in the gents, there is no toilet roll, no paper towels and no soap, the same thing was found on my last visit so disappointed that this had not improved. The male room is the same lay out except for two urinals and one toilet. The disabled toilet is not well thought out and it almost looks like it was put there just for legal reasons.
The meeting room with washing up area, fridge, kettle, a comfy seating area and table, plenty books and lots of leaflets for information and for all to use. The front of the building outside houses the pot washing area with three sinks and bins. There are bench tables dotted round the site for everyone to use, water taps, bins and fire safety too. Travelling out you need your car, or bike, as you are off the beaten track, there are many lovely places to visit.
The local spar shop is about two miles away and houses a post office too.
I noted that the majority of visitors with children stayed on site but there is no play area so the children made there own entertainment which can be annoying as they run round the tents invading your space. There are no set rules here so tents just pitch up wherever they want and can be way to close, 6m rule doesn't apply here, lucky we were ok but others were way to close. It was noisy due to the amount of children and adults could be heard as late as midnight and the constant banging of the shower block doors was annoying to say the least especially after dark.
Did I have a good time, yes, the weather was fabulous which was a bonus would I go back again, yes, but I would not go bank or school holidays and five days would be my limit.

Just home from a fantastic weekend at Fell View Farm. The site was well maintained & very clean. The owner was lovely & helpful. My husband did a spot of fishing & he wasn't disappointed. Lots of geese & ducks, & the view is beautiful. The site was full & a mixture of tents & touring caravans. We have booked again for July.

Very lovely site for both tents and caravans.
Comfortable and large showers cubicles and x 2 toilets ( separate for male and female) which were always free, even at peak times.
Lovely inside kitchen and dining area in addition to the 3 outdoor sinks, book swap, mags and even a kettle, fridge and local leaflets.
Quite full but didn't feel at all packed. It's a laid back site, ideal for a quiet peaceful break - hardly any noise after about 10pm.
It's in the middle of the Bowland forest with lots of country lanes - Scorton village has a few shops such as a Spar and a pub and is about 10 min drive. Lancaster is about a 20 min drive and was excellent for shopping.
Overall we had a lovely peaceful weekend and would definitely return but not sure if I'd take the children as there isn't really anywhere for them to roam.

We enjoyed our visit to this campsite. Our group had both tents and caravans which were both well catered for. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. The facilities on site are much better than many sites we have visited before. Toilets and (free) showers always kept clean, in addition there is laundry facilities and a kitchen area. We had a wonderful meal at The Priory Pub in Scorton. We will definitely be visiting this site again.

Arrived on Good Friday to be met with a near-full site (on EHU), and blazing sunshine!
The non-EHU field only had a small smattering of tents, as it's still early season, for some, I guess.
After a quick 'phone call, we were quickly met at the gate, (Owners husband, I believe) welcomed, and shown to our pitch, (that we'd booked by 'phone just 2 days previous. Simple, professional, and amiable). The owner herself came round a couple of hours later, to welcome us, and take our details and payment. Both were charming and seemed happy to chat.
The pitches were a little closer together than what we are normally used to, but we comfortably pitched our 4. 8m x 3m tent (not including guys). No exact marked pitch boundaries, but there was approx 5m between us and the neighbouring caravan on one side, and 4m to the tent on the other side. Our large mpv had to be parked in front of the pitch, to avoid upsetting the neighbours/driving over guy lines, so not the best of views. Which would have been lovely rolling hills, had we had the room to park at the side.
Pitch was flat, well mown, and lush, apart from one small freshly seeded bare patch, which we managed to keep off, in order to let it grow back. 'Our field' was a mixture of hard standings and grass pitches, with just the gentlest of slopes. There was also a small flat field immediately to the left of the main entrance, with separate gated entrance. Beyond our field were two flat fields for non-EHU, that seemed to be a 'Pitch where you like' kind of set up. Again, nicely mown and tidy. All the on-site roadways/hard standings seemed to be new (very clean) gravel, which added to the nice and tidy feel of the site. A central (fenced in) bin/recycling area, and drinking water tap was easily accessible, and served it's purpose.
The amenities were at the bottom of the main field. Gents, Ladies, and disabled, a campers kitchen, and outdoor/covered washing up sinks. The kitchen had another washing up sink, work top space, cooker, fridge, freezer, kettle etc. Also a dining table & chairs, and even a comfy sofa. I believe there are laundry facilities too. Ideal as a refuge if you are 'tenting in a heavy storm', I would say. Tourist leaflets etc were also in here.
The loos/showers etc were more than adequate, and clean. The gents had 2 x urinals, 1 x WC, and 2 x wash basins in the main part. In addition, (still in the gents) there were two 'En-suites Rooms'. WC, wash basin, chair, and shower cubicle in each. Excellent shower. Constant hot water, adjustable pressure and temperature, and the shower is on a hose/sliding rail, so not only height adjustable, but it can reach all corners for rinsing out the cubicle when you've done. (I hate those high/fixed shower heads!)
A couple of niggles. Gents ran out of hand drying paper towels three times over the weekend (Just one small dispenser. Paper on a roll type). I was also informed by my wife that she had to 'pinch' the liquid soap from the kitchen, as she finally ran out of patience after a full 24 hours of there being none at all in the ladies! I'd hope we aren't expected to take our toiletry bags with us, when just 'nipping for a wee'!
Very small open topped bins in the loos for paper towels etc. Either need to be larger, or get emptied more often. Scraps of paper on the otherwise clean floor, on more than one occasion.
The main dustbins out on site were also full to bursting by the Sunday. No idea if they'd been emptied since our arrival 48 hours earlier, as we had spent more time off site, than on.
Dusk on the Friday saw the drop in temperature. And no doubt, the rise in fan heaters being turned on, including us, admittedly (1500 watts, and never with the kettle on!). Just after dark, we returned from the loo's to be informed, by a camping neighbour, that the EHU power had just gone off, and that the owner had been telephoned. But no answer! After a couple of hours relying on battery lamps, we retired for the night. There was still no EHU power next morning. So that campers kitchen came in very handy for the morning cuppa. (It saved us rigging the gas and 'cooker' up just for a brew!). Power restored by mid morning, so I guess 12 hours or so, mainly through the night, admittedly. Still, no communication from the owner, be it apology, explanation, or dare I say, even the offer of a small refund. You do pay extra for EHU, as per most sites, but in all fairness, the overall tariff is very reasonable, and although it doesn't affect us, I believe under 16's and dogs are free, so maybe a tad harsh on my part?
A point lost, I feel, for all the above 'niggles', combined!
There were also some very high winds all day (and throughout the night) on the Sunday, with many tenter's struggling to keep their tents secure, and most caravanner's taking their awnings down 'at the last minute'. I'm more used to site owners 'doing the rounds', checking everyone is safe and happy, and on occasion, even offering a helping hand. I witnessed none of that here though, sadly. Not worthy of a 'mark down', but worth a mention, I thought.
There's what looks like a very nice, if small, fishing lake immediately adjacent to the camping fields. Quite a lovely stroll around it, as the sun sets, if only to stretch the legs.
Oh. And it's a 40 min drive to the cycle paths/promenades at and around Blackpool, which was the main reason for our visit.
All in all, a very nice and tidy site, that could do with the EHU pitches spreading out a touch, and a bit more time spent emptying bins, topping up soaps/paper towels etc.
Would we stay here again?
It's tempting, to be fair. But we'd need to see how the next few reviews go. And maybe avoid Bank Holidays?

This is our second visit in soo many weeks and once again we had a thoroughly enjoyable visit. The hostess Susan and her husband are two of the politest people you could meet and nothing is too much trouble. There are standings for both caravans and trailers and offer electric hook up if required. There is a choice of fields 4 in total and all offer superb views. The shower block is excellent and there is always hot water, their are two en suite rooms with a toilet, shower and basin for privacy, two separate toilets and two wash basins and a hair dryer is provided in the ladies. There are disabled facilities and a warm room where campers can make a brew, a fridge and freezer for your goodies, table and chairs, books and games, In the morning there are fresh eggs from the farm for you to buy just drop your money in the hones box and a laundry room with washer, dryer, iron and ironing board for use by the campers. This is a lovely quiet family site and the only sounds heard are the sheep and ducks on the fishing pond adjacent to the site for all you keen fishermen. Overall we had an excellent time and will returning as soon as we are free again. The electric hook up pitches are 15 and the non electric 12 :-)))
