Lovely site extremely clean and well maintained pitch sizes are quite large and spacious and not muddy at all very friendly and helpful staff. Steam train was an added bonus to the weekend
Only negatives were the rain so dog walking was a bit wet and muddy (not the sites fault at all) and the flu virus which stopped us going out (again not the fault of the site)
Will definitely book later in the year to go again as looking forward to walking around local area and trying the pub just off the site.
Lovely site but
Great site good location friendly site managers but 5mph signs ignored speeding vehicles a big problem ,I would be apprehensive to let children play outside on site
Shining example
Great site well kept clean and tidy. Great location for families and dogs with the country park only a stone throw away. Nice pub at the entrance. Having experienced very unfriendly male warden on this site before it was an absolute pleasure to be greeted by the winter wardens who are doing a fantastic job - from the physical jobs to the social side. They are a shining example of what we expect as wardens - thank you
East Lancashire Railway
Great site, there is now a permanent stop for the East Lancashire Railway at the site. The track runs right by the site - perfect for enthusiasts.
The steam train is a wonderful experience - transporting you back to the 50's!
Enjoy a cuppa in the 'buffet car' served by very presentable and knowledgeable (by the way, they - conductors, drivers and staff - are all volunteers). Not only are the trains of the era but the stations and staff have all embraced the theme with period uniforms and even piles of 'travel trunks' neatly piled on the various platforms along the way. Just hop on and off at Summerseat, Ramsbottom, and not to mention the end of the line at Rawtenstall where you can enjoy a craft beer or tea and cake at the traditional 'Waiting Room'... I returned on an early 60's diesel.
You can also grab a 'Special Burrs Fare' return to Bury for only £5 to visit the Bury Market (excellent if you want some fresh meat for a barbeque!)
There is a nice dog friendly tavern just outside the gates to the caravan site serving 'home cooked' meals which seems very popular with locals too.
Stay for 3 nights end of December 2016.
We stayed here just after Christmas 2016. Was very cold so we had heating on constantly. Beautiful site. Lovely staff. Immaculate facilities. Beautiful scenery and wonderful walks. Local dog friendly Pub. Will definitely return soon. No negatives at all.
GREAT SITE
We booked for two nights and decided to stay for three, then we came back a couple of weeks later, that's how much we enjoyed it!
The site was spotless with large level pitches and the staff were brilliant and very helpful. A day out in Manchester was a doddle, taxi into Bury then a tram into the middle of Manchester. Bury market is a great place to visit, a twenty five minute walk or four quid each way in a taxi if you're not up for the walk. The Brown Cow just at the entrance to the site was a nice friendly pub with a happy hour a couple of days a week and the food was great and cheap enough too. Would definately recommend Burr's Country Park to anyone.

Hi spent 4 nights at burrs park Thursday to Monday it was the coldest weekend of the year Thursday limited heating Friday Saturday Sunday heating never went off come Monday limited heating the site is fine come every year but it will have to be a weekend next time you seem to get looked after if you are a weekender oh the approach road needs resurfacing
Brilliant Site
Once again we had a very enjoyable stay at Burrs thanks to the resident wardens. They made our stay that much better. Pitches are an excellent size and well kept. Could do with more service pitches. The few there are are impossible to get as always booked well in advance. Loved watching the steam trains pass by. Do need a car though to get around as bus service is limited. Beware the speed cameras outside Tescos! And, yes, those cobbles and potholes are an interesting experience getting to and leaving the site.

Stunning
Beautifully positioned and wth great dog-walking immediately outside. 'Only stayed for one night but will be back. Clean, friendly, spacious... The pub outside is lovely but the kitchen was being refurbished when I visited so no food. and the next one down didn't allow dogs inside. I should have contingency food in future. But kitchens only get refurbished once in a while...
