Overnight stop over - Burrs Country Park

We arrived later than expected on the Friday just gone but this was ok, the site was busy but it is ideally situated next to a country park. Although we weren't stopping, I think there was a war time event happening for the bank holiday. Considering the proximity to town this site was very peaceful. Had we stayed longer we could possibly write more.

Trains, park, walks and pub. What more could you ask for?

We have just come back from this site and loved it. It was our first visit. After reading reviews about how warder's behave towards dogs and their fouling we were quite worried as we were taking our dog with us but I can honestly say we had no bother at all. The warders were very friendly and the site is immaculate. There are works going on to improve some of the hard standing pitches but we were not impacted by any noise or disruption as this was a weekend visit and all work had ceased. I imagine it may be different if you are going during the week. At the edge of the site is a lovely park with plenty of room for dogs to run around off lead. There is the old Mill to wander around as well as canal and riverside walks. We followed the route available from the site office which took you past the weir and at the end gave you a view over the railway line to the site itself. The pub at the edge of the site is very popular and there is a children's play area there. It also serves meals although we didn't eat there. The only downside people may have is the cobbles to get to the site and the narrow bridge but this is part of the heritage being next to the old mill. Being just over an hour away from home this site may well become one of our frequent places.

Dictator warden

We have stayed here 4 times now and love the site. The facilities are always spotless, however on our last visit we were too scared to leave our caravan for fear of being reprimanded. We have 2 standard poodles and bought a caravan so we could go away and take our babies with us....we joined the caravan club because they welcome dogs... but not at this site. We were told not to allow our dogs to foul on site and to take them off....how on earth ro you tell a dogs not to poo and wee while they are walking to a suitable place?????? Perhaps the warden should do some obedience training on site to show us dog owners how it's done...think that high vis vest has gone to his head. ...Won't be rushing back here anytime soon. I finished getting told off like a naughty school girl over 30 years ago!!!!!!!

UNFORTUNATELY DISAPPOINTED

I was very disappointed indeed to be reprimanded for allowing my dog to have a wee on the grass opposite our caravan which was on the perimeter of the site and was not a site pitch. Having questioned the issue with one of the male site wardens, I was referred to the caravan club manual page .... rule ... regarding dog fowling. I have been a member of the caravan club for 18 years and 4 years prior to that with a 1 year break. I have NEVER been reprimanded by any club site during that period of time for this reason. As responsible dog owners, we always carry bags should there be any "accidents" which on occasion CANNOT be avoided. I had an incident, prior to the reprimand, where one of my dogs was sick. Not only did I clear it up in said bags, I also returned to the place where it was on the road with water and cleaned the area thoroughly - not the action of an irresponsible dog owner. This made us feel our dogs were not welcome on the site and despite the weather being good, we felt we could not put our dogs outside the caravan for further concern of reprimand. A very disappointing experience and if is the norm, this should be enforced by every caravan club site and with every dog owner ..... we certainly saw a number of them who were not questioned on this issue.

Good location.

Excellent site for all age groups. £3 taxi to bury/metro then half hr ride in team if you wanna shop/restaurant/nightlife. If you don't want to go far steam train, parks and pub all around you. Staff friendly except one or 2 male wardens quite a bit over zealous with rules and like telling people off.

Ideal Site for Commuting to Manchester

Stayed here for three nights the site is clean and tidy, showers & toilets immaculate. Country walks are lovely, it takes 35 minutes at strolling pace to get to Bury Town Centre, ok for a bit of shopping, Bury Market great if you need barbecue meat and fish. Steam trains were nice to see going by and you can get these to Bury access via the site. Two very good pubs near the site we used both and very friendly, food good in both and nice to enjoy a pint after a long walk. Yes the cobbles are bumpy but your not on them long. The drive entrance to the site isn't the prettiest as you pass a cow farm which is a bit smelly but it is the countryside and to be expected. A few solar lights on the bridge would be a bonus as its pitch black if you go to the pub at night and have to walk back, recommend you take a torch. We used this site to revisit friends we had not seen for a long time & would use this site again if wanted to have a weekend in Manchester. Staff were very friendly and they are also upgrading a lot of the pitches around the site to accommodate more vans so they are improving and good to see they are passionate about their site.

Its OK

Only stayed for one night on route traveling further north. The site is ok, but the track down to the site over the cobbles would drive you mad if you had to drive over it many times. Feel that the price for the site is a bit over priced. Probably would not use this site again.

An interesting site

Very nice to see the selection of steam engines passing close to the site and the other industrial heritage could be very interesting if there was a bit more interpretation available. The site access is dreadfully bumpy, especially the cobbled bit. Wardens were very pleasant and helpful but their efforts were undermined by uncontrolled kids flooding the washbasins and blocking the toilets.
