Bowland Wild Boar Park

The first thing you'll notice here is the grunting — this working boar park wraps around your pitch, and waking to the sound of rare-breed pigs rooting through morning mist is wonderfully odd in the best way possible.

It's a brilliant choice for families who want something beyond the usual campsite (the kids will be fascinated), dog owners exploring the Forest of Bowland, and anyone chasing a proper Lancashire countryside feel without frills. Tent pitches, campervan spaces and caravan hookups are all available, set within the parkland itself — you're genuinely camping among the wildlife. Oakfield Fishery is close by if you've brought rods and fancy an afternoon session between wildlife-watching.

Facilities are straightforward — clean toilets and showers, nothing fancy but perfectly adequate. Campfires are sometimes allowed, but check when you arrive as it depends on conditions. The vibe is relaxed, rural and a bit quirky — you're here for the animals, the big Lancashire skies and the novelty of sleeping a stone's throw from snuffling boar. Open year-round for the hardy and the curious.
