Whittingham & Goosnargh Sports & Social Club

Whittingham & Goosnargh Sports & Social Club is a members' sports and social club on the old Whittingham Hospital grounds near Preston that runs a small campsite alongside the bar, ten minutes from junction 32 of the M6. The club sits between the villages of Whittingham and Goosnargh in rural Lancashire, with buses to Preston and Longridge from the end of the lane and The Stags Head pub passed on the way in. The caravan park is a new paving grid area that takes individual bookings or small rallies, with 24 hour toilet access at the rear of the club on a door code, drinking water and Elsan points, showers, and a limited number of electric hook ups that must be booked in advance. Be warned: Phase 2 of the club's redevelopment started in September 2025, so camping spaces and hook ups are limited and there may be noise and disruption during your stay. Planning terms also cap any stay at 15 consecutive nights. Well behaved dogs are welcome on a lead, open fires are banned (raised barbecues are fine), and under 16s must leave the club premises by 9pm under the licence, which families should factor in. Behind the club is a well kept bowling green, and inside are two full size snooker tables, darts and at least two cask ales. Pitches are £13 a night, or £20 with electric hook up.
