Little Stubbins

The crunch of gravel underfoot and the distant bleat of sheep across Lancashire's meadows announce your arrival at Little Stubbins, where the rolling Pennine foothills stretch toward the horizon in patchwork greens and golds.

This straightforward site welcomes tents, campervans and caravans to the North West's quiet countryside, well-placed for exploring the Forest of Rossendale and the mill towns that shaped England's industrial story. It's ideal for those who prefer uncomplicated camping without elaborate frills, where the focus remains on landscape rather than entertainment. Walkers will find plenty of moorland trails within easy reach, while families appreciate the space to simply be outdoors.

Facilities are kept simple with toilets and showers serving the pitches. The campfire policy requires checking on arrival, so ask when you get here if you're hoping for evening flames. The atmosphere leans toward peaceful and unpretentious—a proper base for Lancastrian exploration rather than a destination in itself, where you can pitch up, breathe deeply, and let the Pennine air do its work.
