Fantastic site

The site is easily accessible via any route, well maintained and lovely and quiet. The location is fantastic if you like walking and have dogs. The beach is just outside the site and if you want to park on the beach for the day Ainsdale beach is just a couple of miles away, miles of beautiful sand. The new toilet blocks, showers and pot wash are lovely and so clean. All in all this is a must stop at site if you want to either crash and do nothing or walk for miles by the sea. Great TV reception and full 4 G on two different mobile networks so the Wi-Fi not yet being updated was not a problem at all. Highly recommend this site.

Lovely stay

Just spent 2 nights at this sight. Everything was spot on. Wardens friendly. Phil stopped to chat with us. He asked if everything was ok with our stay which I thought was lovely. He was equally thrilled when we told him how impressed with the site, especially the cleanliness of the toilets, washing up area. Location is great. Will definitely return

1st visit to Southport

This was our first visit to Southport and also our first visit to a club site. We were very impressed with the warm welcome we received, the layout of the site and the facilities, especially their cleanliness. Loads of things to see and do for families within a 10 min walk from the site or if like us, you want something a little less busy, Formby Nature Reserves was a 10 min drive away. We didn't have our bikes with us this time, but it was a great location for direct access to the Sustrans National Cycle Route no 62. We found a great little chippy 5 mins drive away from the site, in Fylde village but there was also a Morrisons and McDonalds also within a few mins drive from site. All in all a great place to stay.

The Best of British (seaside)

This was our first proper trip away in our (new to us) caravan, as complete novices. We chose well. Easy access, friendly welcome (no issue with digital membership card by the way), great location (nearest pub -The Fishermans Rest - 7 minutes walk - booking advisable for food), maximum 15 minutes to Lord Street through Victoria Park (or Rotten Row when the park closes in the evening). Fantastic Victorian architecture on Lord Street. So many places to eat too. We also walked into Birkdale which is nice - more places to eat and drink and is the nearest railway station. The traditional seaside arcades are not "in your face" like in other seaside towns. You don't actually have to walk past them if you don't want to, to enjoy the splendour of the town. My brother in law and I did go for the Viking (crazy) Golf which was great fun though. Didn't visit the famous lawn mower museum - we'll save that for our next visit ;-) Crosby down the coast for the Anthony Gormley statues. The site is typical Club - good location - first class facilities. Some of the pitches were flooded (it's very flat down the bottom end) but there had been heavy rain prior to our arrival and you chose your own pitch anyway so unaffected. WiFi is poor/unuseable, although we received an email before our visit saying they were upgrading - so need someone to update that - I wasn't convinced by what I heard that it would be much better. Unfortunately, typically, 4G signal is also poor - so bring the cards/jigsaws/DVDs for the rainy days. Finally a shoutout to the wardens who on the last day came up with a pin-alignment tool which I never knew existed having never needed one before (I have one now). Thought for a moment we weren't going home. We will be back!

Great location!

An excellent site with plenty of things to see and do within easy walking distance. Probably 10-15 minutes walking sees you in the town. Loads of shops and Pubs to choose from. The butchers by the market is excellent. Victoria Park adjacent to the site is dog friendly and the sand dunes lead you on to the sea front/ beach if you go the other way from the site. The facilities are excellent and spotless, not faulted in any way. Phil and Donna really go out of their way ( quite literally! ) with directing you to places to go, and every member of the site team cannot do enough to help you with any questions about the locality. Well worth a visit any time. The only thing I would say that could do with updating is the Motorhome service point, which although perfectly adequate due to the siting of the grids it takes a bit of guesswork before you get in the right position to empty your tanks. Not really a big problem though.

A great stay except for the admin

We had a lovely long weekend in Southport despite the February cold weather and the facilities were all the usual standard of the club sites. The only downside was the usual tussle with my membership being less than a year old - the club has stopped giving out “hard copy” membership cards but on this (and several previous occasions) staff at reception complain about my membership card being on my phone. Either it’s acceptable or not. Please sort it out!

Excellent standard of maintenance and cleanliness as always

We love visiting Southport club site, and do so many times every year. Disappointed that the large open area and associated shower block were closed, I understand for January each year due to reduced staff levels. Otherwise, everyone was spotless, and contact with wardens was friendly and helpful. This is a great location, with easy access (if you are reasonably mobile) to town, supermarket, sea front, park etc. Pleased that the coastal road/path to the RSPB site at Marshside has reopened and is easily accessible by bike. Disappointed that the pier, which is the second longest in England at almost one mile, remains closed by the LA, as we like to walk on it most days. Lovely walks along the marine lake, sea front, etc. Our go to site

A well kept site with good facilities

Stayed at Southport for the first time for three nights in mid Jan during the latter end of the cold spell. Site was only half open which was understandable being more of a fair weather site location, so was nice and quiet. Facilities were very good and always warm and clean, and the wardens were very helpful with our questions regarding the area. Site is well located for flat cycle routes, however we didn't bring our bikes as the weather forecast was not promising for our stay, but it did turn out better than expected. Took the train from Birkdale to Crosby to see the Beach Iron Men, a fascinating sight. Went to Birkdale town, and enjoyed some of the Cafes and shops in the centre, whilst admiring the avenues of quite impressive houses. Stopped in the Fishermans Rest and enjoyed a few drinks and nice meal. Had a nice walk along Southport's sea wall into town, which although a little tired, had some wonderful buildings and many of the shops were occupied

Nice quiet and well managed site

The site is well managed and the staff are both friendly and informative. However the site is some way from the centre of Southport (‘Lord Street) and as we were there in December we had to endure a long walk in the dark back to the site after sundown. The best places to eat are the clubhouse in Birkdale Village (a good walk) and the food hall in Southport Market. The site is quiet, although I think this may not be the case during the summer holidays, so make the most of it during the quiet season. We will definitely visiting again.
