I don't know the site but it's in a lovely area.

I have been many, many times, but I'm not sure I would go again.

The plus points are, it has a great shop and an amazing cafe, (the most wonderful cooked breakfasts), the site is actually behind a garage forecourt, but wiedly once you are on the site you completely forget and it is not noisy. There are also some little crafty shops and a Fat FaceGrin.

The toilets and showers are good, though it is run as an eco site and all the hot water is form solar power, this is fantastic until there is no hot water left which does happen a fair bit when they are busy. There is washing up a small laundry room and a freezer for ice blocks.

There is a noise curfew and it is never noisy at night, it is nearly all families and walkers (is vair naice and mc Grin)

There are loads of good pubs, retaurants and really good beaches nearby.

So why wouldn't I go back?

This would be my idea site except the owners have never expanded the pitch sizes over the years and tents keep getting bigger and bigger, this means most tents (except the tiny tents of the walkers) are generally pegged out with guy lines actually crossing, apart from the fact that this puts you far to close to your neighbours for comfort (snoring, whispered arguments, shagging) it is really dangerous in terms of fire. The other problem it causes is it means there you cannot park next to your tent as there is no room, so everyone parks in front of their tents instead and it is just like camping in a bloody car park, there is no visability, you can't see where your kids are, it's horrible. And that is enough now it put me off which is a huge shame.

wow! thank you for most fulsome responses, exactly the sorts of thing it's helpful to know. Sounds tantalisingly like it's not for us, although we love that coast so much. Will keep looking!

We went to breckfarm.co.uk last week and loved it - very close to Deepdale I think and allow fires. Very spacious, 2 fields, good facilities, huge field and forest for kids to play in.
