Just returned after 3 nights. Site was full but with the generous pitches you do not feel overcrowded. The toilet block is immaculate at any time of the day with free toiletries on hand. The owners have a warm welcome for everyone and as I am no good at reversing our unit Tim chauffeured it expertly onto its pitch for me. Chipping village centre is less than 5 mins walk away where you will find two pubs both serving good pub grub, butchers, cafe and a village shop for groceries and newspapers. Easy access to trough of bowland with pretty villages and nice walks. Will be back soon as we think site is better than club sites we have stayed on and a fraction of the cost (notice on board says they apologise for an increase!)

We stayed for 7 nights from 17 - 24 March 2013. Unlike many other sites, the pitch fee includes awnings and dogs. The owners are exceptionally friendly and helpful and keep the site, including toilet block, in pristine condition. They even supply toiletries, (which unfortunately some ungrateful people in the past have stolen), doggy poo bags at locations around the site and even hand sanitisers are available at the grey waste, elsan disposal and dog poo disposal sites. What a nice touch!
The pitches are quite large, on hardstandings surrounded by grass which, due to the adverse weather, was a bit muddy in places.
The immaculate toilet blocks are heated and even during the high bitter winds, rain and snow experienced during our visit, were warm, spotlessly clean with a good supply of hot water. The water in the showers is provided by pushing a button and the only very minor criticism would be that there could be a longer period of showering provided per button push!
A shed near to the toilet block has local tourist information leaflets, walking routes, books & DVDs to borrow. We found TV reception to be first class although mobile phone reception both on the site and in the village, isn't too good. There is no wi fi available on site but it is provided in the local village cafe.
The views of Longridge Fells from the site are spectacular and I'm told, ( it was too cold and windy to try), offer some great walks along the ridge and also in the local area. It's a short walk into the village where there are 2 pubs, both dog friendly, cafe, village shop which apparently is the oldest continuous trading shop in England, and butchers. We tried both pubs and preferred the Tillitsons Arms which was very welcoming, and served great pub type food which was always freshly cooked and very well presented at a sensible price. There was a good choice of local & guest ales as well as standard beers available. The landlord & lady and all staff were very friendly and after a couple of visits, you felt like you were in your own local at home.
We mentioned earlier about how helpful the owners were. When we arrived we had problems with our car, and the lady owner went out of her way to contact a neighbour who owns a car repairers, and even arranged a visit for me to his workshop and found the time take me there.
We were there in very poor weather conditions and with the exception of a visit to Ingleton Falls walk which is great, it prevented us getting out and about in the area as we intended. We hope to return for another visit later in the year when the weather should be more settled and warmer.
Thank you, you run an exceptional site at a very reasonable price. We will be back!

Well. It's all true! This is a fantastic site. Very well kept. The loo's are silly clean! Nice well kept site and very friendly owners. The other big plus is it's location right in the village with pubs and shops and churches and also the walking around Chipping is just fabulous. Also we have stayed at lower quality sites and paid quite a lot more so it's good value for money for the quality. You can tell the owners are passionate about what they do, too.
I should say, those with very young children will be enchanted with the family of 15-20 ducks who live in the fenced duck pond and generally waddle around the site quacking and being cute.

We stayed for a weekend in the middle of October. The site was full and the owner was turning people away which just goes to prove how popular and how fabulous this caravan site is.
As said in previous reviews, the toilets are out of this world; never before have we stayed on a site where shampoo and body lotion are provided!
Also, no extra charges for dogs or awnings, which is always a positive for us. Dog walk was provided with poo bin close to the gate.
The village was a short stroll away, with a couple of pubs and a tea room which we didn't visit because it was closed, but it looked very inviting with a lovely tea garden to the rear.
If I had one tiny criticism about the site, it would be that the hard standings could be a bit wider. Had we put up our small awning, it would partially have been on the grass which was in a very poor condition due to the rain, it was extremely soggy and not very nice to walk on. But apart from that, I would highly recommend this site. Well done to the owners.

Wow, what a fabulous site, from pulling up at the gate to leaving after six days, it was lovely.
As other reviews state the toilet and shower block is out of this world, just like your own bathroom and so clean.
Lynda and Tim are so friendly nothing is to much trouble, even lending our friends some woods for bowls, the bowling green is right next to the site which is very handy.
Chipping village is only 5 mins walk from the site, and has two lovely pubs, lots of places to visit, and some great walks from the site.
The information hut is well stocked and has walks printed out for you to borrow. Books, mags, DVD's and information on the area is all there for you. They even sell gift vouchers you can buy for presents, what a wonderful idea, hope someone buys some for us, as we will definitely be back, and very soon.

All I can do is agree with all the previous reviews. This is an excellent site, well run and maintained and excellent value. The ablutions are as good as you would have at home and were always spotless.
By far the best site I have ever stayed on and less expensive that some that are a lot worse.
The area is great for walking, especially into the village to either of the pubs
We will return with pleasure.
