First Visit to Blackpool South
Very friendly welcome from the site staff when we arrived. It was half term so pretty busy and not much choice of pitch. We eventually pitched at the end of the site nearest to the main roads. Some noise but not excessive given the location. Facilities whilst not the most modern were perfectly good although from where we were pitched it is a long way to the nearest chemical emptying point despite there being a service point quite near but only for fresh and waste water. The motorhome service point needs upgrading to an open grill. Given that it was half term at £17 a night the site was good value. The main downfall of this site is its remote location especially if you don't want to take a motorhome off site. We booked in full knowledge of this situation. I don't know what the options are for the Club to work with the local council to get some form of public transport nearer the site? A mile and a half walk to the nearest bus stop is not really on. The site staff have worked hard to provide useful information on local transport including taxis for which there is a fixed price fare to the various attractions in the town. We also found that the metered prices from the rank near the Tower were very similar. However you have to be prepared for this to add up even after a couple of visits we spent £40. There is also information on parking motorhomes in Blackpool but it is restricted to a few places. I wouldn't put anyone off using this site but just suggest they are fully aware of the constraints before booking.
