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.

Rude staff!

A lone lady traveller with two dogs After arriving early and being made to reverse back out into the road to wait, I mentioned (as it was a hot day) that I had two dogs in the car. I was told .. That's up to you! Fast forward, 1st night, pitch all set up and no bother.  Next day a friend joined me. We paid for her and her car, and was told as long as it remained within the pitch to leave it. That evening a very rude man pulled up, and told us to move the wind break as it was a fire hazard, (it had to be moved 8") ! Next day, whilst asleep, another very rude man banged on my window and told us my friends car had to be moved. He later returned to apologise as his information was wrong and he hadn't been updated!!! We packed up and came home early. Never again. Not one peaceful day, just jobsworth, rude staff!! And a ruined holiday.

Lovely site but lots of loud music on Saturday night

Stayed recently in July and we too were disturbed by the loud music from the adjoining park. We could accept it until 11pm but by nearly 1am we had had enough. Hopefully it was a rare event and we will go back. So nice to have a site where you can walk to so many attractions, restaurants and transport services.

Noisey music.

Stayed at this site 2nd July to 16th July 2016 both weekends very loud disco music in park behind us it was so loud the sides of my caravan were vibrating, this went on until 1230 am totally unacceptable! One of the reasons I go to club sites is peace and quite and no clubs on site I'm afraid this put a damper on my holiday. I think the time to clean the toilets is excessive and the fact male & female toilets are both closed doesn't help, this means both women & men queuing at the service toilet, not Ideal

Wardens let this site down.

We have just been to this site for the weekend, we were running late in traffic our sat nav said that we would arrive around 7pm, so I called ahead and get a very grumpy "why are you bothering me with stupid questions" Lady warden, who told me that I have until 8pm if your late then you won't be allowed on. We got there at around 7.10pm and as I walked in there was a male warden who said good evening Mr Rhodes, I thought WOW that's amazing to be greeted so personally. But then it all disappeared when the female warden took over, there are only 3 pitches left, we are very busy can you pick what pitch you want and come back as quickly as possible I want to close up..... ok lets put this into perspective, nobody died and obviously she was having a bad day, so we picked a pitch and I sent the wife and kids to inform the warden of our pitch. we then enjoyed our weekend by the sea, On the Sunday morning we packed up and set off at approx. 11.30am, we were stuck in a queue of people backing their cars onto their pitches to hook up, we were in no rush so we waited, this turned into around 5 people and half and hour so my wife said that she would drop the key off while I was stuck in the traffic, My wife came back and said she has just had a very stern talking to by the female warden and was told that we would be banned if we did it again!!! Southport is a fantastic place to take the family and the site is very clean, tidy and quiet, but the wardens let the whole experience down.... Poor show Southport..............

Speeding

All the other reviews are accurate,however many members do not understand the 5mph rule.it means 1st gear only.  Nobody is impressed with cars being driven at excessive speed. Will the staff please keep up their good work at running an excellent site. Alma and Mike
