Nice site, pleasant stay

Access good, don't arrive before 1pm due to no waiting area as this would block the access road. Site wardens nice and welcoming, really helpful and informative on arrival. Toilet block clean with enough toilets/showers (although would say the men's toilet were often left in a mess, not the fault of the site) Lovely pitches, well spaced out, hardstanding and level, some pitches have hedges between making them a bit more private. Small dog area with bin provided, not ideal for exercising your dog (this is not a criticism) Small play area for children. You can hear some road noise depending on what side you are pitched, this didn't bother us. Good location for visiting many surrounding areas including, Blackpool, Lytham and other seaside towns. Overall we liked this site and will return.

Friendly and helpful staff on good site

Staff could not have been more considerate and helpful. The site is well located for visiting Blackpool itself as well as other coastal towns. We especially like Lytham St Annes and Cleveleys. Great 10 days.

Lovely peaceful site with good accessible facilities

I stayed here in my motorhome last week from Sunday to Friday. As a wheelchair user, travelling alone with just my assistance dog, it helps if the facilities are clean and work well. I really liked the layout of the accessible shower room, though the floor in the main area was too slippery. The water was hot and had good pressure and the room was always clean. The site is very pleasant, with well kept garden areas. The paths could do with a resurface but otherwise, it was very nice indeed. My assistance dog really liked the little dog play area. It was perfect for playing with a ball! The wardens were friendly and helpful. I will definitely return again, as it was a lovely week away.

This site has weeds everywhere !

This is our first trip to Blackpool south for 4 years and it is nowhere near as good as it was before the unfortunate lockdown struck . The pitches have weeds everywhere and the access road has been ruined by the lorries from the new housing estate adjacent in cropper road . I realise this is not the clubs road , but they need to complain to the council who will have sanctioned planning permission and recieved a tidy amount for the housing land development . Its just somewhere to park your van with no immediate attractions or scenery . Dahlias cafe which was cosy and friendly has closed and the garden centre seems to now be struggling . Very sad!

Extended Stay

Not long back from our stay at Blackpool South, we initially booked for two nights but ended up staying for seven. We found the wardens helpful ,and they kept the toilet block in a clean condition. The dog area is very small but it’s somewhere they can do their business if you make it in time! (A dog friendly area on the beach can be found South of the glitter ball past the tram terminus). We will definitely return. Dougie Donald

Fantastic Team and stay

Lovely warm, genuine welcome from the 2 North East gents. We needed some assistance about an hour later and they were more than helpful. The site was very well maintained, toilets spotless by the people cleaning them, sadly some fellow customers are not as clean! One of our best experiences at a club site. Keep going guys. Many thanks. Ali & Jo

Reception Staff

This is a lovely site marred by the reception staff who take enormous pleasure in turning customers away who have the temerity to turn up 5 minutes earlier than 1pm. No one can guarantee just how long it takes to get to site. But your customers do their best. Then to be greeted by reception staff who taint the start of a holiday by being dictatorial and rude is no recommendation for the Caravan Club. I think some customer service training would be applicable. They allow no flexibility whatsoever. This site requires flexibility because the entrance to the site is on a narrow lane with a calming measure near the entrance. The results of their actions causes problems on the Lane outside the site where at 1pm there is then a long queue waiting to get in and other road users find it difficult. This is on a daily basis. Once on site it is very pleasant, well maintained and clean and the wardens are very helpful. The toilets and showers are spotless BUT in the Ladies heating is a problem. Not once during a recent stay did I find a warm radiator no matter what time of the day or night. It was quite the talking point when braving a shower. The thermostat showed between 18 and 19 degrees. But it was frequently colder inside the Ladies than outside. And certainly a lot cooler than the 18 degrees in our caravan. Apparently the Mens facilities were warm bordering on hot!!

Unfriendly staff.

Upon arrival the staff were rude and unfriendly. We arrived at 12.55pm, new to the site and area so wasn't sure if we could park or turn around on the narrow road on which the site is situated. We have a large motorhome so decided it would be safer to pull in since we were only 5 minutes early. After being scowled at I went into reception to check in, only to be lectured about the arrival time, they were so rude and it wasn't a pleasant start to our holiday. I was spoken to like a naughty child! I think some of your wardens need a lesson in customer service.

No allowances, after 8pm

No allowances, after 8pm under no circumstances and told again under no circumstances could you enter before 1pm even though you have booked the day before. I understand it's your job! But it's our holiday and the late was out of our control.

Site in need of improvement

Having just stayed on this site for 10 days while in Blackpool, my wife and I were dissapointed with several aspects and facilities which were below the usual C&MHC standards 1, Firstly the toilet blocks are very tired and in need of an update 2, All shower curtains have been removed along with stools (not sure if it's because of Covid) meaning the entire shower floor becomes wet when used and no where to sit down. 3, The barriers on the entrance before 1pm are blocked by a large sign telling new arrivals that access to the site is after 1pm, though this is site policy it is very difficult for existing residents to return to the site before 1pm as the sign blocks easy access to the entrance especially for larger towcars and motorhomes. We also had a very unusual occurrence while staying at the site one morning. Three young 3/4 grown bullocks managed to wander onto the site, walking around between cars, caravans, awnings and motorhomes. When the warden's were notified I was told that they were OK and were quite calm! and they were aware and the farmer was on his way. I expected that they would attend and keep an eye on these very large animals to stop them from doing any damage, but was thoroughly disappointed that only after an hour or so did any of the warden's come out to see what was happening. After a few moments leaving to allow these animals to continue wandering around, it was only some of the other residents and I that tried to keep them in the corner of the site and without our intervention damage could have been caused. After 2+ hours the animals were finally loaded into a trailer by the farmer and taken away and the site barriers opened again to allow access and exit once more. Though I am aware that this might not be the usual job of the warden's and that dealing with large farm animals can be very frightening that they might have done more to avoid the potential damage to residents property than they actually did.
