Great site, great location

We stayed for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. This is an immaculate site with superb facilities and is a credit to the wardens looking after it. An easy walk across the park into town is an absolute must, as is a walk along the well kept promenade and pier. This is a site that is on our list for a return visit in the very near future!

Not quite what it says on the box

A six night stay brings two complaints from me and a comment. One is nothing to do with the Club but concerns the nuisance of continuous high speed motorcycle noise caused by bikers racing along the promenades. One night it was like being next to the TT Course from 8.pm to 10.30pm. Horrid. The other concerns the wi-fi which throughout our stay was useless. It gave readings of .05Mb and frequently disconnected. Very poor value. The comment concerns the statement that the site is good for dog owners. I don't agree. Most dogs will be affected in one way or another by the huge presence of rabbits. Be warned!

Vast improvement

Our first trip out this year was to one of our favourite sites not far from home. We have been coming to Southport for a long time and at times have been disappointed in the site although we have always come back. The old girl has had a facelift and is now amazing. As well as the site being extended the old toilet block has been rebuilt and is on a par with the one on the new side. There is a children's playground .whether this belongs to the site I don't know but the children spend a lot of time there instead of racing round the site on their bikes. The wardens are very busy never seeming to stop tidying up and driving round the site keeping it clean and tidy. A short walk into town and plenty of eating places and a lovely walk on the pier. If you have never been here you must give it a try. Oh did I mention the site is across a very quiet road from the sand dunes

Southport. Large site close to town and beach

Stopped 2 nights en-route to the Lakes from Sussex. Easy access. Wonderful friendly and very helpful welcome. On the website I had to book twice as there was little availability (two types of pitch). This was quickly rectified on my arrival, and I had no need to move my van. Level pitches. Walking distance to Southport beaches and town centre shops/attractions. In our two days we visited Formby dunes (Nat Trust) and walked around the woods spotting red squirrels - also you can visit "Another Place" Anthony Gormley's statues on the beach at Crosby. The car park here was free and motorhome friendly. Southport is a large site (recently extended). The facilities were 5 star.

New Section of Site- First Class

Stayed on this site for 4 nights from 21-25th May. It was our first time since the new extended section of the site opened. It has a nice layout and big hardstanding pictches. We were blessed with some beautiful weather and I just wonder what it would be like when a strong wind blows in from the sea as this section is flat and exposed. We were a bit dissapointed with the lack of customer service from the wardens office. When we arrived we were not informed where the vacant pitches where as the site was almost full. Also on departure when handing the site security/barrier key into the office, there was no 'hope you enjoyed your stay or have a safe journey home'. Rather lacking in basic skills on these matters.

GREAT SITE

This was our first visit to Southport and it won't be the last. We arrived on Sunday at around 12 as requested, but sat for 20 minutes in a queue. What surprised us was that outfits were still leaving well after 12 and were adding to the congestion on the road. Why must people abuse the leaving time rules? They are set this way for a purpose and members who ignore them only cause problems for others trying to get in. Okay, rant over! The site is now very large, with neat and pristine gravel pitches, a superb new toilet block and situated in a lovely position between sand dunes and a large park. As Motorhomers, we left the vehicle on site and made use of public transport. A 20 minute walk takes you to the railway station where we travelled on one day to Crosby and the following day to Formby. Both are only 10-15 minute trips and lead to fabulous beaches about a mile's walk from the stations. Crosby is a must for Antony Gormley's installation "Another Place" set on a beautiful beach backed by sand dunes and Formby takes you to the National Trust at Freshfield to see the red squirrels, which were delightful to watch. Formby beach is magnificent and stretches for miles. Southport itself is an interesting town with every shop you could possibly want and Morrisons is just a 10 minute stroll from the site. We thought this was a perfect site both for adults and children, with plenty to keep all ages occupied. And thanks to the patient wardens, who were coping so well under pressure on Sunday and smiling through the abuse they were getting from frustrated members. We do appreciate you all!!

Long weekend

This was our first time at Southport and overall it was a pleasant experience. Few downsides: we were on the featureless new section, whilst it was clean and tidy it was just a two sided row of gravel pitches with a thin sliver of grass between each one, it really needs some shrubs and flowers. There is no turning circle on the new section when you get to the end, we watched endless caravans trying a thirty point turn as there were no spaces left. Also there was no wifi coverage on part of the site which is quite frustrating as we paid an annual fee but could only sign on when in reception! On the upside the toilet block on site was spotless and warm, the service points were extremely well maintained and the whole site is perfectly placed with the large Victoria Park on one side and a nature reserve on the other. A pleasant stroll across the park brings you to the edge of town with great shopping along Lord Street.

Super Southport

As a regular visitor to this site I am pleased with the new extension and the pitch availability this gives. Loads to do within walking distance (cinema, water park, restaurants). If you have a problem walking far then there is 5 hrs free parking at Ocean Plaza which is a short walk to the centre of Lord Street and the shops. Only downside is the £39 per night price tag for a family of five during school hols.

Easter stay at Southport

We arrived on Easter Monday for our first stay at the Caravan Club Site at Southport. The site is in lovely condition with new turf between many of the hard-standing pitches and we found a good site just opposite the toilet block along the road that runs parallel to Esplanade Rd. The wi-fi was poor for much of the time. If anyone drove down the road past where we were sited and couldn't find a suitable site they have no turning space at the end of the road to turn back on themselves. The Southport Site is well located for shopping, beach and has a park immediately behind it for dog walking and a place for children to play. The staff were very helpful and friendly and we will return again soon.
