Camping in Lancashire

Lancashire's campsites range from coastal caravan parks near Blackpool to quiet farm pitches and glamping huts tucked into the countryside around Gisburn, Trawden and Cowan Bridge. The Forest of Bowland and the fringes of the Yorkshire Dales give the northern and eastern sites a real rural feel, with places like Bowland Escapes and Kelker Well Roundhouse making the most of the hills and drystone-walled fields.

Further west and south, around Ormskirk, Chorley and Preston, sites tend to suit those wanting easy access to towns and the coast without giving up green surroundings, while Pilling and Carnforth offer a mix of traditional caravan parks and smaller certificated locations for those touring in a van or tent.

Glamping options have grown steadily too, from shepherd's huts and roundhouses to more elaborate stays such as Hedgerow Luxury Glamping and Puddleduck Glamping, giving visitors a comfortable alternative to canvas without straying far from the county's working farmland.
