Brilliant Site

The site was absolutely amazing so quiet and situated in lovely countryside it has the East Lancs Railway running past it we didn't see the Steam train this time but next year we will definitely make a point of going on it. The facilities are very clean and tidy and the staff are always around if you need any help. We went for a meal at the Brown Cow Pub at the entrance to the site but I would prebook if you would like an evening meal as it does get very busy also next to it is the Lamppost Cafe if you would like a cooked breakfast or snacks. The Country Park is amazing with beautiful scenery ,riverside walks, sculptures and water you can even paddle in ,it was wonderful.

Brilliant Site but circus was in town!

As complete newbies to camping again after an absence of many years, our visit here was to primarily ensure that we knew how to assemble all our equipment and that we hadn’t forgot anything! This site is very local to us so it would be handy to nip home should we need to. Anyway, our first trip was excellent - the staff were so helpful and friendly. Despite the circus being in the next field and was noisy in the later afternoon and evenings, it certainly didn’t detract from us from our visit - you got used to it! In the end we were having such a great time that we ended up staying an additional night. Everywhere was so neat and tidy - toilets and shower blocks were spotless. We never saw any litter anywhere either. Good spacing out between pitches and it was delight to join fellow campers waving to Steam Train which passes by now and then. We did not use the Steam Train this time, despite there being a station at the rear of the site but we will certainly doing so upon our next return. membership offers discounts on tickets. Overall a delight to stay there and will be returning very soon as it is very safe to bring the grandchildren too - lots for then to do.

Superb site, great location

This is a first class site, the facilities are outstanding, everything looks very new. Outside of weekends the site was very quiet while we were there, which made for a very restful holiday. The country park and heritage railway are adjacent, plus there's a pub and cafe just outside the entrance barrier! The park offers lots of nice walks and lots of old industrial history. The River Irwell runs through the park, the riverside walks in both directions are well worth doing. The site gives easy access to Bury - don't miss the market - or head north and you're immediately in the Pennines with lots of great walking countryside. Holcombe Hill and Peel Monument makes a nice walk, with great views.

Lovely spot

We only managed to spend a few days at this lovely site on our way to Scotland and on our return but we will certainly make another visit. We were greeted by a super friendly team of wardens who clearly have great pride in their site. An added bonus for those with dogs is the super dog wash which makes it easy to clean off muddy paws. We enjoyed watching the steam trains that run past the site. If only some selfish dog owners would pick up their dog poo it would make life much more pleasant for everyone.

Excellent site

We had been recommended for this site and on arrival, the wardens are helpful and friendly. The pitches are good and the facilities are clean. The walks around the country park are excellent, but bring wellies when wet weather, as it is muddy! There is welcome dog wash on the site, although my dogs would have preferred warm water! It is a dog friendly site and there is a small off lead dog area. The country park is right next door though, so the dog area is only useful for a quick walk out. The steam trains are regular and great to see go past the site. We will definately be back.

Great site for Flying Scotsman viewing

We were visiting family in Bury and wondered why the site was full on the Saturday night at this time of year but found out the Flying Scotsman was in town. My husband being an amateur steam train enthusiast was delighted by this news and, after staying the night in a pub car park (with their permission as we were meeting family for lunch on Mothering Sunday) we saw the Flying Scotlsman on Sunday morning in Rawtenstall. After a lovely lunch at Owd Betts we arrived at Burrs to a warm welcome. Found our pitch no problem near the lovely facilities and realised the railway line ran behind the site. We were given a great view of the steam engine again and can see this site as being a great attraction to steam engine enthusiasts. We ate at The Brown Cow pub which is right next to the site. The pub was very busy, food great and have never seen so many dogs in a pub at the same time, including our two. Walking dogs is easy as walking areas very near the site and great for children as play parks nearby too. There is also the famous Bury Market to visit and the area surrounding Burrs has remnants of the mill buildings and workings. We have stayed at Burrs before and will be again.

excellent site

Spacious pitches and very clean and well laid out site. Very friendly staff. Good location in country park and for access to wider area. Just be aware that if you have a nervous dog the country park does have many dogs off lead, but is great for dog walking and more. Added bonus for our stay was centenary visit of Flying Scotsman with line right next to the site.

Very friendly and helpful weclome

I hadn't booked in advance. I was greeted with a very friendly and helpful welcome. We stayed for only one night en route and liked the site and its situation on the edge of the park. Also the large Tesco is convenient and there was no problem in parking a motorhome there. The site itself is quite exposed and would benefit from internal hedging to provide some privacy between pitches and generally enhance the feel of the site. The site feels new although it isn't.

Another great stay

Arrived mid-afternoon, was delt with quickly, great sense of humour which I welcomed. Actually found the same pitch that I used last time, hand for the facilities and exit. Site spotless, facilities were fabulous and warm, showers etc all good. Couple of pubs close by, one just outside the site and on a little further away. I left this one in the dark and the walk back is "interesting", the pub closer being the easy option. Burrs Park good for short walks and dogs etc. and adventure play activities for kids. Will be lovely in the summer, works taking place over the winter have chewed up a lot of the landscaping. I walked to Peel Tower / Monument, round trip of about 7 miles but worth it. Couldn’t fault the park and the wardens, for me its a short hop, great for a quick weekend away and next time going to try and co-ordinate with the trains.

Wonderful site and wardens

Burrs Park is one of our “Go to” sites for weekends away as it’s close to home and we never fail to have a good time. Facilities are spotless and the site as a whole is always very well maintained. We visited last weekend and had the usual great time until my back seized up on Saturday night, meaning I was unable to pack anything up let alone drive home on Sunday morning. (I usually get to site Friday and set up before my wife and daughter arrive after school). After speaking to the wardens about the situation, they could not have been more helpful, and told us not to worry, leave everything on site, go home and get better and collect the caravan and tow vehicle when I was better. They would keep an eye on everything for us and their main concern was for me to get home and get better. We returned today to collect the caravan and the wardens were genuinely concerned about my welfare. They are a credit to the club and I can not thank them enough for the compassion shown and for keeping an eye on everything while we were absent. We will be back again soon hopefully. Thank you wardens.
