I am looking for a quiet campsite in Lancashire to introduce my teenage daughter to the joys of camping. Unfortunately after much googling, I have still not found what I am looking for. I thought my idea of a good campsite would be widespread, but it seems not. My criteria are: Definitely no caravans. Preferably within 50 miles of Wigan. Somewhere that is not classed as a family site, i.e children running into ones tent all day, and babies that scream in the night. Clutching at straws now, but somewhere that doesn't actively welcome dogs. Not much to ask for but impossible to find. Any recommendations?

Richard, It certainly does meet my criteria, and I have also been recommended this place from another source. So far it is the only suitable place I have found.

 If Ingleton is okay then Kettlewell isn't too far away, and there's a suitably low-tech site there. Fold Fram details Been many moons since I stayed there, but from the reviews not much seems to have changed. Pete.

 PC, Ingleton and Kettlewell are in Yorkshire if you please.. PL have you heard of Hollingworth Lake. there is a quiet site at the top end of there, plus you could wild camp around there.

 Any quiet sites in Northumberland I can take my grandson to.

Hollingworth Lake near Rochdale. I've passed it many times. I'll look into it more thoroughly now.

 There must be some in the Forest of Bowland, surely?? It's a shame you have to come all the way into Yorkshire to find a decent campsite... (tee hee)

It's time a new term was invented for 'sleeping under canvas with everything including the kitchen sink, and we must take the 4WD darling'. It's a shame that camping has been hijacked.
|
|
 I suppose the only good thing is that it would be the first time the 4WD would be driven on grass! 
|
|
I'm afraid its also in Yorkshire, but Jerusalem Farm in Booth, between Hebden Bridge and Halifax is very good.

Tiredandweary. Yes it does look very good. Thanks.
