Woodland camping near Cropton

·

Forest camping in Cropton puts you under thick canopies, with moss underfoot and owls calling after dark. There are over 40 forest sites around here—some just a short walk from the trails that cut through the woods. You’ll find spots like Breaks Fold Farm Glamping & Camping (31 reviews), The Darling Woods of May (6 reviews), and Dale Farm Holidays (5 reviews) that regulars rave about for their easy access to walking paths and peaceful settings. You can pitch up for as little as £12 a night, though the average runs closer to £110. Most sites welcome pets and have basic facilities—think showers and toilets—so you can rinse off after a muddy hike or a dip in the stream. Some locals even swear by the forest tracks for early-morning runs, and if you’re keen, you’ll find wild swimming spots and, believe it or not, a few places to try your hand at surfing nearby. Just remember to tidy up your rubbish and respect the quiet—Cropton’s woods draw campers looking for a slower, grounded pace.

A quiet adult-only site (this site does not cater for children), with tents and campervans only, nestled below Healey Nab in the Lancashire Countryside. Rustic and back to basics is what this site is all about. Set amid spectacular countryside, grassy fields, woodland and streams to boot! Well behaved four legged friends are more than welcome. Campfires and good times allowed. *Please note loud music is not allowed.* Flat walks are a plenty along the Leeds and Liverpool canal or maybe a circular walk to white White Coppice might float your boat? For the hill walkers amongst us there is Great Hill and Rivington Pike to climb. Within walking distance or a few minutes drive there is pub at the end of the lane and local shops within the vicinity for those last minute snacks. Chorley town centre is 10 minutes drive away and we are close to the M61 which can take you to the Lake district in less than an hour, Manchester or Blackpool are roughly 30 Minutes away.
