Ignoring the approach which does shake, rattle and roll everything, this is a great little site. Went to Blackpool to see the lights!!! Went to Bury Market, worth looking at, and the Flying Scotsman whistled by. Level pitches with plenty of space, good wardens and a pub that you fall into as you walk out the gate. What's not to like?
More first timers
As in the title, first timers at Burrs. Agree with other reviewers all well in the Park! Friendly wardens, clean facilities and tidy park. The entrance is ideal for cocktail drinkers, shaken not stirred!! But then it's all part of the area and it's former use. Great, will be back as only just over a hour from home.

Burrs Country Park
This was an overnight stop for us, after a long journey the busy approach roads and urban environment proved to be a bit tiring. The park was handy for dog walking and we enjoyed a meal in The Brown Cow pub, nice and friendly in there. If you like a country in the town feel and access to shops and the Manchester area this site is in a good spot. A bit noisy from development work in the park but no doubt that will finish at some point. Cheerful welcome from the wardens, always appreciated, thankyou!
Peaceful
WE had heard so many good reviews on this site so had to visit and it was as everyone said so peaceful the grounds and facilities were perfect and having the steam trains go past makes it a perfect site, we called in the pub next door and had a lovely drink. There is so many walks right outside the doorstep with being disabled I took my scooter to go with my husband on walks but right outside the camp the road is so potholed then it goes to a cobbled road which my scooter could not cope with so was very disappointed had to sit and wait for my husband to come back and show me pictures of the beautiful walks he went on. Would definitely go again and go out in the car to accessible places for my scooter.
Train Lovers Paradise
First timers to this site and it won't be the last. As usual first class facilities albeit limited in quantity for the pitches available. The trains pass on the East Lancs Railway at regular intervals with different themes throughout the year, the weekend we stayed was diesel weekend but we did get to see some steam trains on Friday. One downside was the very poor quality of the broadband facility, yes I know you don't go away to sit on the Internet but if you've paid for a 12 month service it would be nice to be able to use it. No play area for the children but the country park is only just outside the entrance. And of course The Brown Cow public house on the doorstep is a bonus, we didn't try the food but what we saw and heard it was top notch grub. We will be back soon.
Excellent Campsite
A superb campsite which we stayed at recently whilst visiting the East Lancs Railway.
Excellent facilities, spotlessly clean and in good order. The Warden was warm and welcoming after a long journey and a 'fount of knowledge' regarding local attractions.
It should be noted that the grass pitches are not used during the latter months of the year hence you need to book well in advance as the site is very popular for the reasons stated above!
Hidden Gem
We ere looking for a site under an hour away to use for weekend break and found Burrs Park. Great location for all things Lancashire so go on, give it a go.
Really nice site
This was our first visit to this site, which is really nice, well set up with very friendly wardens.
Being a nice little walk to the town and surrounding places to walk makes this an ideal site without having to use the car to get about.
Will definitely be visiting this site again.

One of favourites
Over the years Burrs has become one of our favourite sites.
Burrs has it all, hence my 5 stars for each category.
Just give it a go and you will not be disappointed.
A bonus is two pubs within very easy walking distance of your pitch, fishing ponds, river walks, wonderful facilities, terrific wardens who go the extra mile to help when they are needed. I would recommend Burrs to anyone. Don't forget the world famous Bury market for all your requirements, including black puddings.
No doubt we will be back next year.
