Blackpool campsites to the north and inland

Newton Hall Holiday Park

Newton Hall Holiday Park sits in the village of Newton-with-Scales, a few miles south-east of Blackpool, and consistently ranks as one of the community favourites among Camplify travellers visiting this part of Lancashire. The park occupies a rural setting well away from the seafront bustle, which makes it a popular choice for those who want Blackpool's attractions close by without sleeping in the thick of them. The surrounding countryside is flat and easy to cycle through, and the village itself has a traditional feel that's a pleasant contrast to the illuminations.

The site caters well for touring outfits with hardstanding and grass pitches, electric hook-up points throughout, and clean, well-maintained facilities blocks. Hirers who've stayed here rate the pitching areas for their size, which is good news if you're arriving in a larger motorhome. The park has a settled, friendly atmosphere that appeals to couples and older travellers as much as families.

Quick facts:

• Best for: Couples, retirees, and families wanting a quieter rural base near Blackpool

Holiday villages and rural retreats on the Fylde

Haven Marton Mere Holiday Village

Haven Marton Mere Holiday Village is built around Marton Mere, a local nature reserve that gives the site a character most holiday parks in this category simply don't have. The mere attracts a notable variety of birdlife, and the park's position alongside it means that early mornings have a genuinely peaceful quality that catches first-time visitors off guard. It's among the top campsites near Blackpool for families who want a structured holiday village environment alongside outdoor space.

As a Haven site, Marton Mere comes with the full suite of family entertainment: indoor pool, live shows, kids' clubs, and on-site dining. The touring and camping areas are well-equipped with electric hook-up, and the site is large enough that you can find quieter corners away from the main entertainment complex if that's your preference. A go-to for Camplify regulars travelling with younger children, particularly for the Illuminations weeks when a pitch here is among the most sought-after on the coast. Touring guests should book touring pitches specifically and check Haven's current touring policies at the time of booking.

Quick facts:

• Distance: Approximately 2 miles from Blackpool town centre, close to the Stanley Park area

• Best for: Families with young children wanting full on-site entertainment and easy town access

Stanley Villa Farm Fishing & Camping

Stanley Villa Farm Fishing & Camping takes a noticeably different approach to the other sites on this list. Located near Great Eccleston, the farm site is small, unpretentious, and centred around coarse fishing lakes that draw a loyal following of anglers. If your idea of a Blackpool-area break involves early mornings by the water rather than the Pleasure Beach, this is likely the best campsite near Blackpool for your needs.

The camping facilities are straightforward: pitches with electric hook-up, access to basic amenities, and the fishing lakes as the main draw. The Camplify community of owners and hirers who know the Fylde area well tend to recommend this site to those looking for a slower pace. Great Eccleston is a pleasant Lancashire village with a traditional feel, and the surrounding countryside rewards a morning walk before the rods go in. The location is far enough from Blackpool to feel like proper countryside, while still being within a twenty-minute drive of the seafront if the mood takes you. Worth pairing with a broader tour of northern England, alongside stops at sites covered in our guides to the 5 best Brecon Beacons campsites or the 11 best NC500 campsites for motorhomes if you're heading further north.
