Stayed for 2 nights mid October 2017, first time at Poolsbrook but won’t be my last.
On arrival I was given a warm welcome at reception and a nice, quick book in.
All the pitches are really well maintained, looks like fresh gravel has been laid on them all, and all the grass areas look to be regularly cut.
The toilet/shower block is fabulous, spotlessly clean, warm, well equipped with plenty of toilets and showers, hairdryers, laundry room, baby changing room, veg and dishwashing area. Definately the best CC facilities I have used.
The site is a relatively small one compared to some of the others, but there are plenty of water/refuse/grey water/elsan points around the site.
I didn’t see anything for children, i.e playground, so it may not be ideal for families with young children, but perfect for adults wanting a quiet, peaceful break!
The wardens clearly take pride in the site, and its’ appearance, cleanliness and over all atmosphere is a credit to their care and attention. Only met the wardens in passing with a cheery ‘hello’, but thank you, your hard work is greatly appreciated.
One of the main reasons I chose this site was to go geocaching and cycling on the Trans Pennine Way, which is accessed immediately by the site enterance, perfect! If you like cycling or walking then you couldn’t ask for more, miles and miles of well maintained paths, trails and canal paths.
I can’t wait to go back, Poolsbrook Country Park Site is now Top of my list for CC sites!
