Burrs Country Park
This is a great site close to Bury town centre with access to the Manchester Metro system and the world famous Bury Market. And if you’re interested in old railways the East Lancashire Railway has many trains passing the site.

Great all round site
Been here many times before and now the Wardens from hell have been sacked, it's lovely to revisit. The site is well s[aced out and the facilities including the Disabled ones are very clean. Nice to have a very friendly Pub a few yards from the site too. Burrs is a site you can just go back to time after time and never get board of.
Great Location - Ruined by the weather.
I must be unlucky to have stayed here for the second time this year and for 6 nights just with constant wind again. With the added storm on Thursday night which damaged my caravan.
I tried to stay for august bank holiday too but due to the clubs system failure the booking wouldnt go through. by the time it did work the weekend pitches were booked. so had to move off.
The Wind here again was extremley bad. is it really windy here all the time??
Location is why i'm here, park and ride at bury and tram straight into Manchester.
I managed a walk around the country park on the Saturday morning. however there was a fair on this and the music started which was really loud and not my style, but when you could hear it on your caravan pitch which are not cheap it isn't great.
The staff were brilliant though.
Convenient for visiting family
We have stayed here on numerous occasions whilst visiting family in the area. Good size pitches and shower blocks clean. Trains are a lovely feature. Not all visitors can walk into Bury but there is a local bus service a short walk by the kiddies play park. There is a small dog walk on site and 95+ acres of surrounding parkland - however we still saw dogs off lead and being walked on the grass around the pitches and being allowed to do their business. This is not acceptable and rules regarding dogs should be enforced. The removal of bins from service points to a 'bin compound' beside reception does not enhance the site and only encourages rubbish being left around the site.

Beware of unsociable behaviour
Stayed here many times lovely country park with train station
This time we chose a service pitch on new area infront of train station
First night motorbikes riding around and loud music till 130am on station next night fireworks
Informed warden said they had heard nothing felt unsafe as no intrest from wardens and rather isolated from rest of site noticed security notices placed all over
Be very careful where you pitch your outfit we unfortunately won't return as felt unsafe and unsupported
Water logged
Been many times before.
Excellent site in general.
But on this occasion flooding on our pitch and was a pain, yes could of moved but it was only last 2 days.
Also pitch was towards brown cow pub, my mistake, noisy.
And grass being cut from 7 15 am either from brown cow pub area or council owned areas, bit early.
Noisy site by the Brown Cow pub.
This site has horrendous noise from the Brown Cow pub. Please avoid any pitches nearby. The wardens were not interested in any complaints at all.
Great Location - Ruined by the weather.
The Positives for me.
The location, it's been great to access the North West from this location.
The site Monday to Friday is pretty quiet.
The steam trains going by are nice.
The Negatives.
The grass cutting seams to never end, even on sunday there was hours and hours of noise and its still not been completed haha. I know it needs to be done but seams to take forever ?
The service point in the "serviced Pitches" area have no bins. You pay a premium for a pitch like this and you have to walk a long way to empty the bins.
The Wind, Now i know it's the UK, but the wind on the site seams to be really bad. Even further down the site. I was really concerend about the awning and caravan in general.
The access road is a little aincent and I dont think it did much good to the caravan.
I also don't know why the first access barrier is down during normal hours? For people like me that travels alone its a bit of a faff every time i go out to come back in and swipe the card on the LHS. The second is also a bit close to swipe the card while in the car.
I'll be back as its a great access for the NW. But the annoying things from my experiance ruin what would be a greater site.
Another great stay at Burrs Country Park
An excellent site, spacious pitches and not too tightly packed. Good kicking off spot for visiting north Manchester area, and also easy to get into the centre of Manchester on the tram. Great to see the steam trains on the East Lancashire Railway. The country park has some lovely walks and an excellent pub and cafe. Even though the site was more or less full it was nice and peaceful, with birdsong, and an owl hooting at night.
