A very enjoyable first caravan experience

Just come back from a weekend away at Burrs Country Park and as this was my families first outing in our first caravan I must say if all the sites we visit are as pleasant as this one then we are in for a treat every time we go away. The site was easily accessible, the staff were very friendly. The facilities were immaculately clean and the kids enjoyed the steam train passing every few hours from the East Lancs Railway. The Brown Cow is the local pub which is literally just off site and the food & drink are very nice with friendly staff. The famous Bury market is a 5 minute drive away and there seem to be plenty of little walks around if your interested in this. My family and I are already looking to book to come back here in the near future so if your contemplating visiting here then I highly recommend it.

Peaceful and relaxing

It was our first trip out in our caravan and we enjoyed the 2 night stay at the end of Feb half term. The grounds are fantastic and very well kept. It is scenic with lovely walks. An ideal location given its proximity to Bury town centre and distance from motorway links yet set in a rural setting. We will definitely be returning despite it being 20 minutes from home!!!

One of the Best

Just returned from a 5 night stay here and our first stay on a caravan club owned site. You approach the site through a housing estate and you start to question your thinking ..... BUT don't .. it is a fantastic site and the best we have stayed on to date (been touring just 6 months). My wife writes a journal for our trips and this got 95/100. Its very handy for Bury, 25 min walk on footpaths. The Brown Cow pub is, in effect, on site and very good. Beer is excellent (real ale)and food is basic but wholesome and good value ... £11 for a mixed grill or 8oz sirloin. It is SPOTLESSLY clean and I loved the steam train that runs along its fenceline. Bury Market is brilliant and the meat and fish hall is open daily. We have a large dog and there are loads of places to walk him including the country park on the doorstep which is set up for dogs. We would definitely return here. We only paid £20 a night for a fully serviced pitch in half term, 2 adults and 2 kids and one BIG dog!!!

Unresricted

Myself and my wife spent a lovely weekend there last week,the site is so open and with unrestricted views all round,great large pitches plenty of space between them for privacy.With the Brown Cow pub at the entrance you do not have to go far for a pint and some great food,twenty to twenty five min walk into town via the park,will be back soon.

Excellent Location

Just spent 5 nights at Burrs Country Park with the main purposes of visiting the Caravan Show at Event City, Manchester and the "world famous" Bury Market. Access to both is great from the site whether you drive, bus or metro and there is a taxi firm who will take you to the market for a fiver - good deal! Unfortunately we had some rough weather (understatement). We had in the space of less than a week, rain, hail, snow, thunder, lightening, gale force winds but also beautiful sunrises and amazing sunsets. The last morning when we were packing up (in the snow!) 5 different steam trains passed along the heritage line running along the side of the site - WOW! - obviously not the wrong type of snow... Only a couple of criticisms; the water pressure is low and you almost have to hug the wall to stay under the shower and in the ladies, the privacy cubicles which have a hairdryer on the wall would benefit from a flexible hose tap for hair washing. Otherwise a very pleasant stay.

winter delight

A warm welcome yet again.  Despite all the elements winter can provide we had a wonderful stay.  Will be returning later in the year to see more of this amazing area.

Good site, with one noteable exception!

A site we have enjoyed visiting on a number of occasions, but who on earth designed a barrier with the key pad on the left hand side of the entrance, probably the same person who decided to waste a vast amount of money on unnecessarily replacing all the sites signs with ones of a lighter colour and not as easily read.  Where is the common sense in either of these decisions?  Over the years I have visited over 80 Club sites and  fortunately this is only one that I have seen such a barrier faux pas.  Time it was remedied!

Problems for disabled caravaners

First of all I need to say We love this site, BUT it has some problems for Disabled caravaners. This first problem is, when you get to the caravan park or your coming back to the caravan park, the fob switch is on the left of your car and not the right.  This means, if your on your own you have to get out of the car, run round and swipe the fob, then get back ready to drive off before the barrier bar comes back down.  If your not fat at walking your screwed.  If your in a wheelchair then forget it.  Ive come back one time only to have to phone my wife and get her to help with the fob. The second problem is the use of the “Reserved for Disabled Caravan” sign.  When pitch up on a pitch that had the sign up thinking great, a pitch reserved by the toilet block for a disabled caravanned only to find out (after we had pitch up and set the awning up) that it was reserved for an able bodied couple .  The warden came over and asked us to take down the awning and move even though I was in a wheelchair as the pitch was booked for someone without a disability.  Just before we took the awning down to move, he came back and said it was ok for us to stay on the pitch. The idea of booking a pitch and having it reserved is a great idea but the site should use one sign for disabled reservations and another simply stating RESERVED. Please dont get me wrong these are small problems because over all the site is amazing.  Great for disabled people (apart from the problems mentioned).  Toilets are immaculate and toasty warm.  Dog walking is fantastic.  Local pub is perfect for a family & dog meal out.  Very friendly and serve lovely food( especially the Mix Grill).  Nice and close to Bury, even if you have to drive over the worst road in England to get in and out of the site. We have been her about 10 times now and will be going at least 8 time this year so that should tell you something.
