November break
Just love this site, as it is ideal for walking into town and walks along the promenade. On November 5th we had prime viewing for the fireworks display which took place in Victoria Park next to the caravan park. Wardens very friendly and the shower block lovely and clean. Will be going back in the New Year.
Dobbies garden centre do nice meals and also
Fishermans Rest which is near the site.
End of October break
So many people have recommended this site to us - so we went there for the first time on 30/10 for 4 nights ie weekdays.
We sought out a quiet pitch, which according to the warden's personal view, is in the centre part. She was not wrong. If we had gone to the far end I'm sure we'd have picked up traffic noise from the roundabout and busy roads just over the fence. In the centre we heard a few shouts on Sunday night but the rest of the time it was peaceful - though we were there for 3 week-nights so can't comment on noise levels at weekends.
The site is, as usual with CC, extremely well managed. It's clean, tidy, and given the shape of the land they had to work with, well-laid out. Facilities were immaculate - with a toilet block at each end of the site.
I think somebody went mad with wooden fences when the new block was established though. Usually there are several pedestrian access points through gateways - but not on this site! All the way round to a single access point and then back again to the ladies loos. Very odd.
It was Halloween while we were there and the wardens had worked extremely hard to capture a Halloween theme all over the site, creativity knows no bounds! It's a pity more children weren't around to appreciate it.
As with most reviews, we found the site is extremely well located, both for motor access and proximity to the town, beach, promenade etc. We walked a lot locally, and also visited Crosby to see Anthony Gormley's "Another place" or "the iron men", Formby Point to see the red squirrels (who went into hiding while we were there), Blackpool Tower, and we just caught the illuminations before they closed for the season. There's certainly plenty to see/do in the area, even at the end of October.
We can recommend the Chinese restaurant just behind the site too - Ho Lee Chow. Entertaining name! Delicious food at reasonable prices and friendly service.
We didn't take our cycles this time, but we noticed all the cycle tracks around the area (and I noticed they weren't too hilly either!) so I'm sure we'll be going back to this site again. Definitely worth a visit!

Few days in November
lovely site, very clean and great facilities. Good walk through park to southport shops, also walked to Birkdale and took train to see squirrels at formby. We will be back!
Great location for shopping and seeing Southport
A great place to have access to the town of Southport park and ride is just down the road and costs £2 for the day! Plenty of space between each pitch newest area gives the best space but a bit more open no trees or hedges. All shower blocks are super clean (just wish people would use the loo brush, come on guys leave it as clean as you found it!). Stayed over Halloween and Bonfire night good location to see the fireworks!!

Spooky Halloween
What an effort was made by the team at this site with magnificent Halloween decorations to entertain all. It must have taken a lot of time and effort to plan, make and install as well as removal. It was appreciated by all the family. Thank you to all the Southport Team.
October Break
Lovely well cared for site with excellent facilities. I would recommend pitching in the new area as there is a great feeling of space, and more room to manoeuvre. Washing and toilet facilities are first class. Cleaning times were in the afternoon, what a great idea. Southport is an easy fifteen minute walk away with access to supermarkets, shops, pubs and restaurants.........lots to choose from. We will be back.
