Mixed thoughts

Stayed at Southport site for a few days last week, and I find myself agreeing with most of the previous reviews, good and bad. Yes the pitch we were on was noisy in the evening with boy racers on the nearby road, however it didn't keep us awake at night. The new part is a bit bare and would benefit from a few shrubs and hedges, but the roads were nice and wide and well lit. The shower blocks and grounds are well kept, but my better half tried to find a warden on two occasions with none to be found. Location is perfect for young families with a play park next door, park and ride a short drive away and the town centre and attractions within walking distance.  I have to agree though that it was worrying to see kids racing about on bikes with no concept of the dangers, even after dark. Good dog walking areas very close, all dogs on site were on lead and well controlled. Couldn't get logged on to wi fi at all, but perfect reception for TV using only standard caravan Ariel. TIP:- the nearby Morrisons car park charges for parking as it is also a public car park.  What is not clear is that the first 30mins is free, allowing time to nip in for a few groceries.  The car park company are a wee bit sneaky in not stating this on the pay machine, but it is on the notice terms on some lamposts. The directions to the site seem confusing but stick with it as they do work, although stating distances between turns would help, as some are a few yards apart and some several miles.  The new bypass under construction now, should make it a lot easier when completed. All in all mixed feelings not bad but not great.
