About Stanley Villa Farm Fishing and Camping
This glamping site is located in beautiful countryside, yet is just 15 minutes outside of Blackpool. If you've never tried glamping before, give it a go. It combines the fun of enjoying the great outdoors with a comfortable night's sleep.
Campfires are allowed and each pod and bell tent comes with its own fire pit. Disposable BBQs, firewood and more is available onsite from the small shop.
A selection of pods also include heating thanks to a radiator, which will keep you toasty any time. Pods don't have electricity (they include battery powered lanterns) but you can charge your phone in the facilities lodge. Inside there are beds, mattresses and (where needed) airbeds.
One pod and one bell tent also include a wood fired hot tub. Both of the hot tubs overlook the lake, providing the perfect spot to relax and unwind.
The site has a lovely fishing lake which is perfect if you're into fishing for carp (up to 23lbs). Pegs are pre bookings only on Swim Booker. Just bring your own gear. They are also previous winners of the Lancashire Tourism Award for the Best Glamping Site
The large grassy area outside of the pods is perfect for children to run around and play games on, whilst parents are able to relax outside the pods, keeping an eye out. There are also Sheep, Ducks and Chickens kept on site (fenced off) and feeding times and information talks are held.
The lake is surrounded by wildlife and has been planted with native trees and hedges to blend in with the surrounding countryside. It's not unusual to see wild deer as well as the usual suspects (rabbits, squirrels, pheasants, and a large selection of birds including kingfishers, hawks, and owls).
Many campers are happy just to sit outside their Pod, Bell Tent or the communal lodge and enjoy the beautiful scenery and the peaceful surroundings.
Well behaved dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead. (No pets permitted in the Bell tents)
This site also won Camping, Glamping and Holiday Park of the Year at the Lancashire Tourism Awards!
Camping pods are open all year except for Christmas week. Bell tents are available between Easter and November.
Facilities and amenities
Bookings include 24 hour access to the beautiful Lakeside Lodge which has a kitchen with a kettle, microwave, toaster, two tall fridge-freezers, three sparkling clean wet rooms with toilets and hot showers, plus a large common room.
Power sockets are available in the lodge, and a second block of four loos is available close to the pods.
Fishing is available on the lake. The Eagle is an excellent local pub (5 minute drive) and there's a nearby Indian restaurant, a sports bar and lots more places to eat and drink at Lytham.

A note from the site themselves...
I set the site up in 2012 on family owned land. Originally I thought that just fishermen would come to use the lake in the day and stay over in the pods at night. But I soon found that families and couples were coming and enjoying.
For the first four years or so I did 99% of all the jobs - cleaning, checking in, bookkeeping, marketing, even chopping up the firewood! Then towards the end of 2016, my little girl came along (Alice), and 18 months later my little boy (Arthur).
At this point, I took on a wonderful staff member Stella, who started out doing the cleaning, and over the years has worked her way up to 'Office and Shop Manager'. In 2022 we added hot-tubs and bell Tents to the site and the feedback has been amazing!
Owning and running a glamping site really is the best job in the world. It's a real pleasure to see so many repeat guests and see how their families grow up over the years. My favourite part of the job is the daily animal feeding. It's such good fun seeing the children's reactions to the sheep and the chickens!
I've got big plans for the future of the site - so it's onwards and upwards!

Pod - Heated Camping Pod With Hot Tub (Lake View)Jun 2024
Wow! We stayed in the lake view pod with the hot tub and loved every second. Upon arrival we were greeted straight away and he is absolutely lovely!!! He showed us how to work the hot tub and answered all our questions. The pod is perfect and we were very toasty at night. The bed is comfy! The hot tub was a dream and stayed hot the entire 2 and half hours we relaxed in there. Super easy to set up as well. We bought ice cream which was delish. The communal kitchen and bathrooms are lovely. All around the site there are animals everywhere, including tiny little baby bunnies. We fed the chicks and sheep, which was amazing!! We had a lovely walk around the lake as well and found a hidden little fairy house which felt very magical. All in all, it was an amazing stay and we will definitely be back!! I feel so relaxed. Thank you for having us!!
A little side note, we don’t drive and got an Uber to the farm. Absolutely no hassle and was fairly cheap from Preston City Centre.

Pod - Camping PodsApr 2024
Thought the site was really nice. The layout of the pods was good and there was enough space between the pods.
The pods were basic but clean. The only criticism I would have would be the cleanliness of the communal areas. A nice big space to sit in, but it could be a lot cleaner. Again, showering facilities could be cleaner.
I would say it's value for money and I would probably return.
