There is adjacent parking and its own private, out-door space overlooking a paddock then towards distant woodland. A quiet, rural location, just over 3 miles from Lancaster. All this and dog-friendly too. (There are sheep in the environs, so itâs essential you keep control of dog.) Our stay was in February, so our weather expectations were realistic and we took wellies, so we could access the Lune Estuary Coastal Path by a tramp through the campsite and the adjoining fields - although you can drive to the coast path car park right at the end of Corricks Lane, just down the road.

It had all the home comforts we needed, it was very spacious but homely. Perfect home from home. Would definitely recommend.

The area is ideal and is on the grounds of Ashton Hall a garden centre and golf course. A walk through the camp site and small woodland takes you onto an estuary which is quite spectacular. The host was very helpful when guiding me to the address, it would've been better if I had put the address into the satnav instead of the postcode as I ended up in a wrong village over an hour away. The sheep at the back of the garden are very friendly, it would have been nice for them to have a shelter from the rain and storm.
