Loved our stay & lovely wardens too!

We stayed here with friends so we could go to the British Country Music Festival, see the illuminations and catch up with family in Lytham. Thoroughly enjoyable stay, good large pitches, lovely site, it was a taxi ride in to Blackpool for us as it was a bit of a walk but we also took our bikes and enjoyed cycling miles along the sea front to the Tower! Special shout out to all four wardens (we think it was Lesley, Paul, Glen and Julie but apologies if we’ve got the names wrong!) they couldn’t have been more helpful, accommodating, welcoming and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

No complaints

I've read some pretty poor reviews of this site and have decided to defend the wardens and the site! Some of the comments about the position of the site and the condition of the approach road may be valid, but cannot be changed by wardens. Road noise also at one end of the site could be an issue, but take the wardens' advice and choose the quieter end of the site, also away from the children's play area, which for me was more of an issue than the road. I don't agree about the upkeep of the site, the landscaping and bins etc were all fine. I do think the toilets need a refresh and I would prefer larger drive-over grille for motorhome waste rather than smaller lids with handles which I dislike. The barriers made me feel safe rather than paranoid. We enjoyed three quiet nights here, walked into Blackpool one day, got a cab home. Got the bus to Lytham another day. All peaceful throughout and met lots of pleasant people. Don't be put off by some comments or some apparent dodgy visitors which can turn up anywhere. Give it a try and judge yourself. We enjoyed it and whilst I wouldn't stay there for my main holiday I would happily stay again if in the area.

My least favourite site.

Let's be honest. The main reason you would stay here is because Blackpool and Lytham St Ann's are nearby. When you walk out the front gate there is a busy pot holed road , a field opposite, some hedges, and a roundabout down the road. So no where pretty to walk or see. There is an industrial estate nearby. And there is a lot of noise from traffic. So location not great. So this site for us was purely functional as we had something to do in St Ann's. Once inside its similar to a lot of other sites, maybe better, maybe worse??? It has been said the toilet block needs updating . Probably too small. The site was well enough kept and the wardens were helpful when we had a problem with kids on bikes circling round and round our caravan and riding over our electric hookup. It's a bit disconcerting that there are double barriers on the main gate at night. It didn't make me feel safe. Who are they stopping coming in??? Read other reviews. So for us, it was a functional 3 night stop over. There is no chance we would ever go there for a proper holiday.

Awful noise and made to feel uncomfortable

This is the 4th year we have stopped here however this time may be my last. We booked on for 7 nights and sited our caravan. Like everyone we are there to relax and have a lovely time with our family however the first night the noise, music, singing and boom boom boom that came from the pitches down from us carried on till 1.45am in the morning. The people next to us asked if they could move the next day due to the noise that was coming from there. We thought that this would sort the problem out and that we would get a good night sleep the following night. How wrong was we. We went to bed at 11pm all quiet but then at 11.30pm it started. Loud music, shouting, scream till 3am. The people were unapproachable and made us feel uncomfortable. The next morning we went to speak with the warden about this and he did a walk around the site at 10pm and because it was quiet he thought that everything was ok but he had spoken to the people due to others complaining. The gentlemen in the caravan came out that morning and made us quite aware that he was not happy with us which made us feel really uncomfortable to be n our caravan on site. Finally at 6.30pm that night they decided to leave due to another incident happening on site. Caravan club go on about curfews at 10pm and so on however they do not enforce this when they are broken. We found out after not just one caravan but 5 left that they were travellers on site. I have nothing against travellers however we should all be treated the same if we break the rules we should be asked to leave the site not just ignore what is happening.

Lovely sunny break

Just returned from another lovely break . Like others we’ve been here many times snd noticing it’s now looking tired. Toilets snd showers only checked snd cleaned daily and half are closed off to avoid wardens cleaning them which at weekend is not helpful . The hedges are dangerous with long brambles ( I was cut on head by one ! ) coming through snd I can’t ever remember them bring so untidy . Pitches large and plentiful choice on arrival . In previous warden times hedges snd pitches were kept very neat snd in order but now appear a big challenge as they’ve overgrown. Hanging baskets snd flowers are stunning at the entrance . Shop extremely expensive £1.50 for canned drink ! Ice Lolly £2.40 ! Wardens always wave snd say hello and chatty if they have time . Disappointing that warden not interested when alerted to 2 dogs loose on site and after 3 hours and holidaymakers doing research including calling dog wardens , the owner living half a mile away was found via Facebook. Would it have been their problem if the dogs had bitten a child ? It was boiling hot snd the animals were stressed but he wasn’t interested Very convenient site straight off motorway snd close to nice villages snd towns including lytham , St Ann’s , Wrea green snd further afield from Poulton snd Shackleton and we love the area hence why we come back time and time again Shame the site is now in need of a big tidy up to bring it back yk previous standards . Also all facilities were closed off at same time including no access to any toilet which is no good for people with issues

A perfect overnight stop

We booked an overnight stop at this site to break the journey on our way to the Lake District. We had a warm welcome on site and chose a lovely sunny pitch. The facilities were spotlessly clean and there was a small information room. The site is only short distance from the motorway making it a perfect site for a stop-over, although this obviously means there is some road noise (although it didn't bother us and we slept well. A great site and we will return.

Perfect for a holiday

This site is nice, clean and well looked after. The staff are friendly and always give you a wave or hello. The site is a quick 5 minute drive away from the heart of Blackpool and was perfect for my getaway. With shops close by and plenty of walks it was perfect. The only issues was slight traffic noise but this cant be helped. The other was it isn't close to any bus stops so have to either drive or get a taxi (the staff are very helpful in arranging this for you) All in all I give it a 9 out of 10

Easy to find - well managed and exceeded expectations

First time at this site and overall impressed. It is a flat site with good sized pitches which are easy to reverse onto. Facilities are excellent and very clean as is the whole campsite. Wardens are very helpful and polite. The only negative would be that you are quite a way from anywhere so you do need transport - one Motor-homer told me he had to take a taxi to get back to the site as the bus stop was some walk away. However overall an excellent site and a credit to the wardens. Would not hesitate to return.
