Nice little site.

The site is really easy to find and you have a double barrier to negotiate on arrival but then straight onto a water filling point. Nice and easy. If it’s peace and tranquility you are looking for then Blackpool site is probably not where you want to be. Cars and vans come and go all the time, it appears to be near a busy airport. Its not a huge site and because your pitch is not allocated you will get units of all shapes and sizes driving about looking for a pitch. We were lucky in that the warden on duty (Asst Man) pointed out a pitch opposite reception that would fit our unit so we didn’t have to drive about. Be warned, if you put up an awning - the ground is super hard and you will need heavy duty pegs! I drilled mines in and even my drill was smoking on completion of about 10 pegs! The site has committed one fenced in pitch under trees for dog walking but giving the amount of dogs on the site it is just not big enough in any shape or form. The roadway outside is quite busy with no pavements in most parts but there is a possible dog walking walkway about 1/2 mile along the road. Be careful walking this road as there are large dumper trucks using the road as they access a building site adjacent to the site and suggested walkway. Wardens were nice and friendly however one or two looked a little fried after a long hard season plagued by travellers. We didn’t know of any on the site during our visit. Thank goodness really as they seem to be allowed to operate outside of club rules. Blackpool rates it’s self as a dog friendly town but in reality your dog must be on the lead for the majority of your visit. On top of that there are sections of the town beach that don’t allow dogs (with a pos fine enforced) and these are not clear so to err on the side of caution you just won’t let your dog off! Blackpool is mobbed with visitors and stag / hen parties so be prepared! Stanley Park is a fantastic space and is dog friendly although there are conflicting signs up near the clock tower telling you your dog must be on a lead at all times in the park (?). The pond in the park is huge but mostly filled with pond algae and thick weed. Still worth a visit with your dog or even kids as there is a large play area. The model village is dog friendly but quite an expensive hour out at nearly £20. Kids will enjoy the activity sheet but park elsewhere for free as they charge £2 just for parking.
