lovely place to visit
This the 2nd time we have been here and is as good as the first time 2 years a go. Well worth a visit. And good pub next door and very dog friendly.

Second Visit
This was our second stay here this year and we will be back again before the year is out, that tells you how highly we rate this site as we live almost 300 miles away! Facilities are always spotless. Really easy to get in to Manchester by either catching a bus or walking to tram stationin Bury. If you come back late after a show in Manchester there is a taxi rank by the tram station, I think it was £9 back to the site. Make sure you go to Bury and go on the East Lancs Railway for a different view of the site and why not wave to all the caravaners!
A lovely stay
Having never been before we were unsure what to expect. No worries. The site was lovely and everywhere was spotless. An easy walk into Bury and the market just takes you by surprise. Didn't eat at the pub next to the site but it was always busy. Lovely to see the steam train passing and getting waves. Sadly the country park area outside the site has a lot of litter in it which is a great shame. My only negative was the length of the grass on site. We were on a grass pitch - by choice - but the grass was ankle deep...otherwise a great site. Sadly the one herb we wanted wasn't in the herb garden, but what a lovely idea.
Surprising
Had this site not been recommended by family members we would never have looked twice at a country park site just outside Bury. So glad we did, it's an absolute gem. The site is pristine (full credit to the wardens) and the "please help yourself" herb garden is a lovely touch. Facilities were of the highest standard of cleanliness and the site overall is extremely well kept. The pub is a plus with beer garden and play area and Burrs country park provides lovely views from the site as well as good cycling, walking etc. The cherry on the cake is the steam railway running at the rear of the site throughout the day. A visit to Bury market is a must - walking shoes and a compass are recommended - it's huge.
great site
Just spent 4 nights at this lovely site, it is immaculate in all aspects, good size level hard standing pitches, lots of well kept grass areas, the facilities are spotless, it is a real credit to the very friendly helpful wardens. steam trains pass by during daytimes and a local pub just outside the site. situated in a country park gives lots of good dog walks, a 20 minute walk into Bury, good shopping and bus & metro to Manchester.
Great site
We have stayed on this site twice and I really love it. I use the motorhome for work and it means my partner and dogs can come along. Site is dog friendly and clearly allows dogs. Unfortunately this stay was ruined by 1 person who seemed to believe the dogs should not be making any noise at all. They were fastened up as usual and barked a few times at people going by - the majority stopped to make a fuss of them even community police officers visiting the site. I was deep in thought working in the motor home when I was startled and shocked by a loud banging in the back window - I turned to find a man glaring into the motor home through the window. He did not speak but pointed his finger at the dogs. My partner went out to be informed that he was wanting a "quiet afternoon" and would go to the office if they did not shut up. Not wanting to make trouble was his parting shot. It made us very anxious and feel threatened. We went to the office to let them know and ask if we could move to another pitch to which they readily agreed. A lady opposite came out and said she was sorry we were going as she had been watching the dogs. She mentioned that children don't seem to be around making a noise like they used to on the sites. My thoughts are "live and let live" There are ways of speaking and communicating with people and had he come over and knocked on the door and spoken civilly we could have sorted it out. My advice to the gentleman wanting complete quiet is don't go to pet friendly / child friendly sites. Such a shame as I really love this site but not sure I will use it again. Washroom / showers / laundry / internet access / site wardens - all great. Pub next door serves lovely food. The park next door is great and the area is full of things to do. Access via barrier contributes to feeling safe and secure.
Brilliant for dogs
This is one of the best site we have stopped on
No negatives
Dog friendly pub 50 mtrs from site good food
All surrounding areas also very dog friendly plenty of walks outside front gate
Anything you ask about this site my wife and myself will give it 100% top marks

Lovely
Visited end July can not understand why on a busy weekend the wardens locked off 1 toilet cubicle, 2 sink cubicles & a shower cubicle!
The site itself is maintained to a decent standard, nice to see the steam trains, love Bury market wish it could be open more than 3 times a week.,
What A Gem
Just spent 2 nights on this site on a trip back from Yorkshire, picked purely on its location as a good place not too far off motorway to continue our journey home.
Delighted with everything on the site, beautiful blooming flower baskets outside reception matched the smiles and very warm welcome on arrival. Spotlessly clean site, fantastic walks and access to cycle routes and an easy half hour walk into Bury to explore. What's not to like about this site? You even get steam trains chugging through about 5 times a day, and a choice of 2 pubs nearby if that's what floats your boat.
We loved our stay in Burrs Country Park and will be back again soon, thank you to all who make this such a lovely site you are doing an excellent job.

Good chill out site
Have just returned from a three night stay at this site and
All in all it was good (apart from the weather which wasn't good!). Usual standard of cleanliness as you expect from a club site and the pub just outside the gate The Brown Cow was nice too.
One downside for us was our pitch (no 1) it was a fully serviced pitch but it was thread bare, the gravel virtually gone in the area around the door and down the Rh side of the van and was thin all over which made it muddy going into the van,
I asked one of the wardens if he had some spare gravel I could scatter around the door area but he said he had none.
However, about an hour later he appeared with a small bucket of gravel to which I was grateful. All the other pitches looked to have healthy amounts of fresh gravel.
That aside, what a lovely site with happy,helpful wardens.
Would definitely go back.
