We tour up to Scotland once a year and at last have managed to include Southport this year, we were not disappointed.  We have a motorhome and tow a car on a trailer so having studied the layout for the site knew where we wanted to be, the new part of the site which as the name suggests is lacking trees and shrubs (only to be expected).  We were lucky to get a little protection from some trees between us and the sea as it was the end of May and the forecast was for extremely high winds.  We survived and had most of that area to ourselves.  Wifi in that area along with Satellite signals were very good - not sure what the problems were with the previous member, possibly too many on the site using wifi.  We heard very little traffic noise, but it was quite windy so possibly drowned any noise out!  The toilet blocks were extremely clean and the wardens very helpful and efficient.  The walk into town is level and a very easy, a very pretty Victorian town.  The path through to the town passes a children's play area and the Southport Model Railway Club that run trains on Sundays.  The only criticism I have of the site was at the arrival.  Being midday and busy it was a little disorganised.  We are used to the extremely efficient wardens at York - "driver stay in the van/car passenger books in" and all more forward very fast.  At Southport everyone stays in their car/van until they reach the barrier, then get out and book in - so everyone has to wait while they book in before getting back to their outfit and moving off. With every outfit going through this procedure (most times both driver and passenger went into the office) it seemed to take forever!  The queue went a long way down the road.  Don't let this put you off, it's a great site and lovely town.
