50/50

Good site as has been mentioned for position, facilities etc. We had a lovely pitch in the shade(18) and despite the last review the staff were pleasant and professional. My point is that whilst the old part of the site has a countryside ,green feel about it ,the new side looks and feels like a car park.....and there was no obvious work going on to change that environment We love to go on our travels and wake up to a new view every site we visit.So having just come back from trips to Scotland you can imagine the contrast with Southport would not have been positive if we had found ourselves on the new side I hope the club can review its apparent plans for this site and start planting soon

Good site poor reception on arrival

I arrived on site to be met by a miserable woman perhaps she had a busy day. I booked in and was told to find a suitable pitch. What she did not tell me was the site was almost full and where I might find a pitch and after a 420 mile drive you do not feel much like searching a 180 pitch site. I drove to the barrier only to sit there like an idiot because she had forgotten to raise the barrier. Back to office no one there luckily I found her outside watering the flowers. Not a great start but a really nice site well kept and a great area.

Good as ever

We are regular visitors to Southpot, a very popular and extremely busy site. Location is fantastic, close proximity to all that Southport has to offer, lovely walk into town or take the very handy park and ride. The very friendly and helpful wardens keep this site in pristine condition, lovely floral displays , the toilets are always kept to a high standard.

Great location

Arrived for a two night mid week stay, this was our first time at the Southport site. Wardens were very friendly and helpful and gave guidance on pitches. We chose pitch 169 which was ideal in the new part where we got good satellite connection and very near a SP & CSP. Very good layout and pitches were larger than expected. This site was ideal for walking our little dog as easily walked to the beach and pier. Went to Silcocks Embassy restaurant on Nevill St. for fish & chips a great family business would recommend. The site itself was quite and everyone very friendly. Just to note that this site can be very windy as near to the sea. Will definitely be booking again.

GOOD OVERNIGHT STAY

Fancied a night in Southport for my birthday weekend , so worked out cheaper to take the caravan and stay over for the night than pay for taxis , as we only live half hour away. Lovely clean site with excellent toilet / shower blocks also really clean . Good location , about 15 min stroll into town . Only downside of the stay , very noisy afound 7am in the morning with some guests up and about early and chatting very loudly outside

Great site but some uncaring dog owners

This is a great site in a perfect location and the wardens are friendly and helpful. However although I am an avid dog lover, there is becoming a lack of consideration among several dog owners that seem to like having their dogs on extendable leads., They allow them to stretch in some cases over 5 metres plus, with the result that they wander on various pitches and foul pitches or grass areas,or use the awning as a lampost. There is also a growing tendency for dogs to be off lead near caravans with the result that dogs go chasing people or other dogs. The reponse from dog owners is always 'sorry about that',but It is most unpleasant when this happens outside your caravan especially when eating. At the time of our visit there seem to be more dogs that people on site with some caravanners having four dogs or more,which they found hard to control It is also clear that there are many people that are nervous around dogs and the new two metre lead rule should be reminded to dog owners on entry to the site. This is a growing concern on club sites and it is a pity that some dog owners let the majority down

Nice clean site but pitch 115 needs sorting out!

Just got back from our holiday at Southport club site had a great time facilities were clean. Just a heads up to anyone going for the first time don't stop on pitch 115 as when it rains the water runs down the road and rushes on the stones where the awning is and floods it. Luckly I got chatting to a couple across the way and he warned me that it happens so when the thunder storms came I was ready for it. So no damaged caused. The site know there is a problem but seem quite happy to do nothing. So just be aware of this. Everything else is great and the weather was good too. Had a great stay.

The good, the bad & the ugly.

We arrived at the site on Sunday the 13th May for a 6 day break. We found a pitch that was relatively level & we set up. As our motor home is over 7m in length, we prefer to set up for the duration of our stay & then we walk or use public transport if it's available? The Good - as with almost every C&MC site the toilet & shower block was excellent, very modern, clean & well maintained. The staff was very friendly & helpful. You can take a steady 15 to 20 minute stroll into town where there are hundreds of shops & plenty of pubs, most of which are dog friendly. The bad - we stopped on pitch 125, there was a lot of traffic noise & I don't remember a day where we wasn't disturbed by wailing sirens or racing cars & bikes. Also if you have young children, be aware of the pitches from 124 upwards along the road fence. You can hear what is being said by passersby's & on several occasions the language was CRUDE to say the least. The ugly - a short walk from the site & you are on the dunes, which we thought would be an ideal place to walk with our dogs. It's not, be very careful & aware of the amount of broken glass that litters the dunes. It's such a shame. Overall though, we had an enjoyable break, but we think once is enough.

Excellent Site

This is our 3rd visit to this site and we plan to return many time more. Excellent clean site and facilities. Great location for those who just want to park up their motorhome for the length of their stay, as Southport centre, and promenade are within easy walking distance. Southport itself is a nice town, with plenty of places to eat and drink, to suit all tastes. Morrisons supermarket is nearby and again within walking distance. My only negative comment is that the shower block cleaning does not stick to the times listed outside the building and on some occasions they were closed well beyond the published opening time of 3pm.

Nice to see

Steve and Di (assistant wardens) again. Made us feel very welcome as did the rest of the team. Nice to see the late cleaning of the toilet block so no need to rush in the morning. As usual facilities spotless, despite the site being full at the BH weekend. Short walk into town and if you need it the park and ride is just £2.00, dogs are free and you can use it even though you have not parked up. My only gripe would be the lack of consideration shown by some people who stayed to the wardens. How hard is it to rinse the sinks when you have finished washing up. The laundry is for clothes not for washing your dog, the 5mph Speed limit is in place for a reason and not there to spoil anyone’s fun. That said we will return but only midweek and not school holidays.
