Glamping pods near Formby guide

Overview

Discover beautiful beaches and sand-dune habitats during a camping trip near the small coastal town of Formby, set just north of Liverpool. Here, National Trust Formby conserves wilderness around the coast, providing outdoor activities among historic landmarks and natural scenery. Campers can experience the massive splendour of nearby Peak District National Park. North of Formby, Forest of Bowland AONB presents natural beauty and opportunities to view wildlife, explore vast countryside, and stargaze under a sparkling night sky. Camping options in the area are abundant and include tent campsites, caravan parks outfitted with hookups, as well as cabins, pods, and other upscale options for glampers.

Where to go

National Trust Formby

Outside of Formby proper, National Trust Formby protects scenic beaches, sand dunes, and pine woodlands that stretch over 400 hectares. A diverse ecosystem, the lands under the National Trust include natterjack toads, red squirrels, and great crested newts—fascinating sights for campers and nature enthusiasts alike. This area is also home to some amazing historical scenes, including two shipwrecks (about one kilometre from the coast) and 10,000-year-old prehistoric footprints formed within sediment beds. Coastal walks, horseback riding, and canoeing are popular year-round activities for day trippers. The park has accessible toilets, a car park, and areas for dogs, but it doesn’t have its own camping facilities.

Peak District National Park

About an hour east from Formby is Peak District National Park in central England. One of the UK’s most visited national parks, it covers about 555 square miles including Hope Valley, Heage Windmill, and Hardwick Hall. Hipcampers can enjoy cycling, horseback riding, caving, fishing, rock climbing, and fell running in the park. Accommodations at North Lees Campsite (owned and managed by the National Park Authority) include 60 sites for tents, as well as accessible toilets and showers. Outfitted with electricity, heating, and lighting, the campsite also offers camping pods that accommodate up to five campers. Campervans are also allowed.

Forest of Bowland AONB

North of Formby is Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Forest of Bowland covers about 312 square miles of land that showcases the area’s open countryside, blanket bog, and heather moorland. Find extensive walking routes, rich wildlife viewing, and stargazing, among dozens of other family-friendly activities. Accommodations within the park fit every budget and adventure—traditional rustic campsites, glamping pods, cabins, and farm stays are all available on-site.

When to go

Formby’s coastal orientation brings temperate weather—typically between 2°C to 20°C. Warmer months are most popular for camping, with a peak in visitors from late June to early September. Summer months are also a good time for swimmers and boaters to cool off in coastal waters. November to March is cooler, with an average daily high of about 9°C. Despite chillier temperatures, Formby offers plenty of scenic walks and activities during winter, as well.
