2. Pointer Farm Campsite
With a score of 9.9/10, Pointer Farm Campsite in Poulton-le-Fylde is located in a working farm just outside the village of Stalmine. It is a 10-minute walk to the nearest pub and a 20-minute drive to the bright lights of Blackpool. The bus stop in the village means there’s also the option to get down to the coast using public transport if you’d rather leave the car behind. Back at the farm, facilities are simple but well kept. The smart modern facilities block has unisex toilets and showers along with a washing-up area, and there’s also free wifi. Prices start at £25 per night for an electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch, for up to six people, with a two-night minimum stay. Photo: Pitchup.com
3. Trawden Forest Glamping

4. Sandvilla Stays
Sandvilla Stays is located in a family-run smallholding five minutes’ drive from the village of Cockerham - a place on the coastal plains where the river Lune meets the Irish Sea. The campsite has earned 9.8/10 from customers thanks to a number of highlights. The coast and a brewery are within walking distance, and there are alpacas to feed on site.
From here, it’s easy to get out for coastal walks or bike ride, perhaps on the Lancashire Coastal Way that passes through Cockerham. A short bike ride or drive can also get you to a beach with a gentle slope for easy paddling and splashing. Photo: Pitchup.com
