We really enjoyed our stay at Burrs Country Park. It location was perfect for our needs, the views excellent and the wardens friendly and helpful. But we were very surprised by poor showers. Indeed I would go as far as to say that they were the worst we have come across on any CC site. In all but one cubicle, which was fitted with a adjustable-head shower, the water pressure was so poor that water just ran down the wall. This was the main topic of conversation in the wash-up room and came up whenever one chatted to other members. Whilst we mentioned this to the wardens, it was obviously an on-going problem which featured regularly in the comments book. I hope it will be sorted out as we want to come back again. If it can't be then CC should consider mentioning it in the description of the site.
very pleasantly surprised
Lovely spotless site. Staff very friendly and helpful. The country park walks are beautiful and well looked after. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be using the site again.
Enjoyable stay, but not great for families
Our initial reaction to the site at Burrs country park was very good, the site was clean, the wardens very friendly and the steam trains were a delight to see. Unfortunately, this was short lived as my children were soon told ball games weren't allowed on the site and anyone with children will know this is disappointing. Also, I was complained at by another camper for simply "walking on the grass". There was certainly a feeling on this site that children should be NOT seen and NOT heard. Unless I go without my children, I won't be returning to this site.
what a surprise
We booked here as we couldn't get into our first choice as it was bank holiday weekend. The last 500 yards of your journey to the site make you wonder where you are going but once on the park it's a cracking surprise, facilities are caravan club clean and the country park next door is a great asset to the site. The wardens are AMAZING my daughter and I arrived alone and my reversing isn't the best, but the help we got was great and made the difficult a lot easier. Anyway a great site, great weather and the steam train is a bonus to watch!!!
Away from it all
Live 20 mins. Away from this amazing site, I could be anywhere in the Yorkshire dales ect. It's stunning location, very friendly wardens, spotless facilities, central for many outings, what more could you wish for... A steam train passing the site on a regular basis...well you've got that too. Fabulous

peaceful break
We arrived Friday 27th May for the bank holiday weekend expecting it to be fully booked and noisy. Almost full but still really peaceful. Good clean facilities, friendly wardens, friendly people, lots of dogs but no barking,rabbits, ducks,and the brilliant steam trains. We switched off completely. Not slept so well in years! Due to health issues we were giving up the motorhome and this was our final trip but now are reconsidering and will hopefully be back soon. Less than an hour from home but really a great place to be.
Good start to caravaning for us.
Very friendly helpful staff and a very well kept site.
The East Lancashire railway running alongside was a bonus.
We will be returning at some time in the future and we have recommended the site to friends.
Excellent start to caravanning
Assistant Wardens were really helpful and informative. Site was very peaceful and in a lovely location near the East Lancashire steam railway which added an extra feel of being in the countryside. Would wholly recommend this site and was a good start to my new caravanning hobby.

Fabulous pitches
Wardens helpful, excellent hard pitches throughout with 2 lanes all going in the same direction to easily get around the sites. Services pitches were great. Good location and Bury was surprisingly a nice town. Good base for Manchester

We do love this site... having first noticed it from the East Lanc Railway, we had to find out the name and location of the site and planned our first visit for last year November 2015. Yes it was raining and yes the temperature had dropped, but we had the most amazing time with our beloved puppy Fudge... The dog walking area provided hours of entertainment for our then five month old puppy, who made plenty of friends, and I discovered the other owner very welcoming and friendly too. The facilities are perfectly clean which is no mean task at such a rainy time of year, with muddy boots and willies using the toilet block and showers... The warden are amazingly friendly and helpful and always made Fudge feel very welcome as he playful wagged his tail to great every person that crossed his path. We visited Bury shopping centre for the morning whilst staying here and managed to fit in some early Christmas shopping and picked up some of the famous 'black pudding' from the market. Spending the rest of the weekend relaxing on the site, chatting with other caravaners and enjoying the passing trains. We enjoyed our time so much we have already booked our return stay for November 2016 when I look forward to our stay again...
