The salt tang of the Irish Sea drifts in through Blackpool's streets, mixing with the distant hum of the Pleasure Beach and the cries of gulls wheeling over the promenade.
The Kenley offers something a bit different for the seaside — camping pods alongside guest house rooms, so you can choose your level of comfort while staying within earshot of the famous Golden Mile. It suits couples after a retro British break, families who want the seaside without lugging a tent, or anyone nostalgic for Blackpool's particular brand of cheerful coastal kitsch. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so you can bring the whole crew to sniff out fish and chips along the prom.
Open all year, which means you can visit off-season when the lights are up and the crowds have thinned. Ask about campfires when you arrive if you fancy an evening flame in the pod area. Facilities aren't specified, so best to enquire ahead about what's provided versus what to bring. The vibe here is straightforward seaside lodging — you're here for the tower, the trams, the candy floss wind, and a proper dose of northern coast.
