Good location!

Nice location. The park next door is lovely and a nice walk to the town! Visited with a friend and my 2 young daughters. I would avoid the sand dunes as they were covered in dog muck! The beach is one to avoid too it was littered with rubbish and very unappealing! Southport itself is nice. Broadhurst books is definitely worth a visit lovely old shop with exemplary customer service. The site is nice, good facilities. I found one male warden particularly condescending and rude! The lady warden was different again! I do think some wardens would do well to remember we are 'paying' members and guests and they are not doing us a favour! Found the awning down at dusk rule a bit OTT particularly when others clearly ignored it. Still I suppose it made him feel big telling 2 women off! He didn't spoil the weekend for us we just laughed him off! Other campers were all really polite too and everyone said hello, which was nice! Shop was a bit poorly stocked. There is a morrisons in easy reach I suppose but the kids (8 & 12) like to go for messages when we are camping! I'd go back it's great location and facilities make up for the odd jobsworth!

Lovely Southport

Our first visit to the site. The site is lovely and all facilities are kept very clean. There is noise on the site from the nearby road, but this is not that intrusive. Plenty of children on the site on bikes and scooters...all enjoying themselves. Sadly some were still racing about at 10.00 pm. Also not many were wearing helmets....perhaps this should be made compulsory on site. Everything in Southport is in walking distance with a nice walk back through the park. Formby Sands (National Trust) is nearby and we had a lovely walk through the woods and back along the sands. Was very surprised on a few mornings so see caravnas queuing to get in from 11.00 am!

Victorian Seaside Holiday

Our third visit to this site and it just gets better, the pitches are very tidy, laid out well and well cared for, the site is very clean, the wardens work very hard to ensure the highest of standards. It would be nice to have facilities for the kids, especially as this is very much a children's holiday place, once back at the caravan we had to entertain the grandson until bedtime as there is nothing for him to do, and we could have done with a rest. There is road noise in various parts of the site, does not bother us though. The wardens are fantastic, so helpful and knowledgeable. Southports many attractions are all within walking distance so once there you do not need the car. Morrisons is just over the road as well. We love this site and will the there again next year.

Happy holiday

Stayed here for 4 nights from the 25/7/2016 height of holiday season and it was fab. Facilities were spotless and well placed, no queues for showers at all even though it was full. Our grand children had a lovely time despite the lack of playing facilities on site the park nearby was brilliant for them and they were happy to play with their new found friends on their bikes. The Fishermens pub 5 minutes up the road is a lovely pub, food fantastic and so reasonably priced staff very polite and so nice went their twice it was so nice. Southport was nice although the absence of the sea was disappointing goes out for miles. We went to see Another place and Crosby beach both beautiful and well worth the visit.

Great Site

My wife and I, with our 2 dogs, stayed here for a week at the end of July. The site is kept very clean, it is easy to find and to access. Walking into Southport through the park was a real treat. There were kids playing, often in big groups, but they were no problem whatsoever. I certainly do not want wardens "policing" every hour, it is completely unnecessary in my view, and to criticise kids "for not following the one way system", come on!!

Fantastic weekend on this popular site

Just spent the weekend on this site. Well laid out pitches with excellent and very clean facilities which are only let down by those that use them, dread to think how they leave their bathrooms at home. Yes as others have said children playing early evening but no problem... kids are kids. Had to tell three under 8 year olds not to use the toilet waste disposal as a slide but they thought it was fun ..... goes back to my earlier point. No noise from local activities in the resort. Very peaceful. Excellent dog walks in the dunes across the road. Will be back soon. Wardens do their best under the circumstances but apart from that cant say much .... a bit stand offish ....

Disgusted !

Having visited this site many times before - this year has been an all time low! The first thing I should like to say is that I find the wardens excellent and courteous - have had no problems ever with them. Problems with site - there does not seem to be any supervision on site by parents which is covered under club rules. Children cycling, skating round the park in large groups continuously from 4 pm shouting and screaming in groups. Having spoken to many other caravanners on site they are also disgusted by the noise of these children who are left to run continually round the site. Teenagers skateboarding at speed. My husband and I have nearly been knocked over by bikes and we witnessed a lady in a disabled scooter having to stop quickly to avoid a bike. Also these children are not following the one way system and cars have to regularly stop for them. The one way system is not being observed by all cars and the speed limit is regularly being abused excessively. As a suggestion and I know the wardens work very hard but I should like to see some kind of 'policing' of the site during the evening - even a walkaround every hour. I understand the long hours the wardens work but build this in to their day -Caravan Club or pay them to do this! Although we are dog friendly we also watch dog owners using pitch grass areas to allow their dogs to do the loo when there is a large park next door, also beach areas and plenty of dog walking areas. They also allow their dogs to piddle on the roads through the park. Unfortunately we are cutting our holiday short due to this and have spoken to others doing the same. Also we have spoken to club members who will not be returning due to the noise!

Enjoyed

Excellent site well looked after staff very good except for one condescending individual with a surly attitude saying look on your map it tells you where to find things when I asked about the motor home service point location . Great for walks and bike rides . Will still use site again now I know where everything is .

Easy access to town and coast

A pleasant site within easy walking distance of the dunes and the town, although the sea is only visible in the distance. The site is well looked after, with very good facilities, no dog walking or play areas but both are available minutes from the site. Unfortunately the coast road next to the site seems to be a favourite with the local motorcyclists during the evenings, these can create a bit of a racket, until late at night.
