Can anyone suggest any wild sites near the sea in St Annes or Fleetwood area? Hoping to go that way this weekend.
It may not be wild but it's Wild West.......near Lytham.
Stopped here a couple of summers ago.....a tenner a night for two peeps and a dog inclusive of electricity, shower block, laundry and a massive clubhouse done out to look like a saloon.....Country & Western isn't my bag but it was a great atmosphere.
Thankyou Rebbyvid and Rubbertramp. I will let you know how we get on.
Do they still have Country and Western LIVE musik here. Please let me know. Thanks.
theres a street on the sea front near Little Bispham,you can`t miss it,its got a big tram line circle near it where the trams turn around.Free parking for days and a 20p 24 hour loo.You can`t miss it there`s always loads of campers parked along it.! There`s also loads of grass walks for the dog.
Thanks for the name change!
Don't know David & Ann.....Like I said, it was a couple of summers ago....The night we were there...midweek I think it was....they were line dancing..... :wacko::dance:....yeee-ha. Bloody good fun but very hard to do...Wills the dog got the hang of it though.
If you click the link I supplied their phone No is on the web page.
Thanks Buddy, It looks good. I am not into line dancing, got two left feet. I am into the musik, real heavy. I see you are from my area in Cornwall. Redruth is a 3 miles from us, we live on the coastal road.
No. Not Four Lanes, I hail from Porthtowan. same coast line though.
You can definetly overnight on the stone jetty adjacent Fairhaven Lake. It's free after 6 pm, 'till about 9 am.
During the day there's a charge to park there, and nicely parked motorhomes are welcome, it says so on the signs.
So, during the day park on the road at the side of the beach / estuary, along with the day trippers in their cars, and after 6 pm onto the jetty.
Been here a few times, was approached once by a lady who owns a toffee shop in St.Annes, she'd promoted motorhome parking here and told the local council.
Also had a bit of a talk to 3 motorhomers that were parked 'side on' together, taking up about 10 marked bays. I know it wasn't busy, but thats how we will get bad press and lose it.
I like it, hee☺ hee☺ really funny. I live in Cornwall but don't come from there. Nice one.
Spoke to traffic warden at st annes they don,t work at night he could see no problem parking in any car park on the front but if you take more than 1 parking space during the day you have to pay double .

I have been camping at Little Bispham for the last 12 months, (no, not continuous!) since buying my first van. Two weeks ago I could not believe how many vans were parked! I agree that we should not park opposite residential properties and it seems that this practice will be stopped before next season, and rightly so. But I do hope that we will be allowed to continue on the concrete section as it has perfect access for both Clevleys and Blackpool. Reading the Blackpool gazette, it seems that we will, at least until the concrete road is replaced. My wife stopped here for the first time two weeks ago and found the traffic noise (including car horns) a problem. I sleep with ear plugs so don't hear any noise.
Now on to why I have posted, I have often cycled past Stanner Bank Car Park and wondered if it was a suitable place to stop overnight, so thank you for the posts which clearly state that it is. I will be using it. It's not as good a location for visiting Blackpool as Little Bispham, (can't have a drink and get the tram back) and it's not free parking during the day, but needs must!
I'm coming to Little Bispham this Friday, so may see some of you there. I'll be in my silver Adria PO60. Do say hello.

Great spot but does get noisy with all the cars and kids that use the car park till the early hours !
I have always avoided car parks for the reason you give but good to hear that there wern't any problems other than the noise.
Yea we've parked on the one further along - Google Maps (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?msid=202926247604712025455.0004b099065f6b2214 582&msa=0&ll=53.750944,-3.036218&spn=0.017763,0.038581&t=k&z=15&vpsrc=6), it's got gates on it, but I asked the bloke emptying the ticket machine what the score was, & he said there weren't any issues other than the usual be sensible, & that gates weren't closed. We had a good night there, weren't bothered by anybody & just made sure we'd gone by 9 in the morning, obviously leaving no litter (other than in the bin!).
