This was our first visit to Southport, we managed to get to the site without too much drama, the site was pleasant and welcoming, only half of the site was open due to the time of our visit. We got pitched up next to the toilet block and soon found our way around. There is a lovely big park right next to the site which is ideal for walking dogs round, also straight outside the site are the sand dunes with walks on. I was a little disappointed with Southport itself, I was expecting good sandy beaches, but ended up going down to Crosby sands to get that. The walk down by the lake was very enjoyable, and the town itself was pleasant, but would I come back to the area, I'm afraid I don't think I would. The site was up the usual high standards but the overall area let it down for me, each to their own I suppose.
