About the site


This family-run touring park provides a peaceful base next to the Lancaster Canal, great for wildlife spotting. The site is under five minutes from the M6 junction 36, perfect for a North-South stopover or exploring the Lake District (10 minutes) and Yorkshire Dales (15 minutes). All motorhome, caravan, campervan and roof tent pitches are flat and set on hardstanding on local limestone, with 16 amp electric hook up adjacent to them and reliable, strong free WiFi included. All pitches allow up to five guests and also have a tap very close to them. When you arrive onsite, you can stretch your legs with a gentle walk down by the canal where you will often see swans and boats passing by. The Crooklands Hotel pub is also within a two minute stroll where you can enjoy a tasty dinner or a cold pint, with booking recommended. If holidaying in your tent, head to the neighbouring Little Acre Campsite! Dogs are more than welcome to join you for your stay too, with up to five four-legged friends permitted per pitch.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesApr 2025

Stayed here 3 years ago for a couple of nights and was great then, but there has been an obvious update of the facilities which is great to see. Spotless modern facilities, great hosts, lovely for canal walks. Local pub/restaurant The Crooklands which is definitely worth a visit. Would recommend booking site in advance, as it was busy this weekend - but that’s not surprising, and the cleanliness wasn’t impacted by this.
