Just got back from the Wirral club site had a great time and experienced the surrounding areas and even ventured to Liverpool really enjoyed it, The site has had a bit of a bad deal with some reviews recently yes it could do with an upgrade at some point but as it stands its clean and tidy and I would certainly go back.
Okay we know you get moaners who seem to always expect more than is reasonable, but what has been said before does need to be emphasised, this is a lovely location but the site is in a time warp and needs investment + TLC.
Think 1980's vanning: a central green with vans around the edge and kiddy play area in the middle, one small wash room, one elsan point and just a couple of water points and you have a pretty good handle on this site. There are alcoves and other pitching areas but the core is the 80's base from when it was built.
Potholes abound and it floods easily, grass pitches are fine when it's dry but the Northwest is not a very dry area and more all weather pitches are needed. As said the facilities need an upgrade as listed above and in other comments below. Could not agree more the unnecessary, unwanted and unloved rebranding is an obvious waste of £££ which could be spent better on sites like this.
All that said it's a busy site for a reason, in a truly lovely location with lots to see and do straight from the site or nearby. Port Sunlight was a real treat and there is top walking all around. With a little investment this could be a genuinely top site, if it's about holding on till the lease is due (sources say it's coming up) then the Club needs to be upfront about it.
Super site, great staff and facilities but for me very good location with access to different walks.
An empty beach, a disused railway track for easy walking and GJ's Cafe was a super find and the added bonus of 10% off with club membership cards. If you are able to cycle then West Kirkby to the north is easily reached and Heswall to the south.
The only minor complaint I have with the facilities is the lack of water taps around the site.
Wonderful setting and pitches. Toilets facilities when cleaned spotless it is sad wardens are trying to cope with refurbished toilets and showers which when busy become very wet and untidy looking and from other peoples comments are reflecting on them. I agree with many comments re club sites rebranding should have been spent on sites which have old facilities. Caravanning is increasing and people expect acceptable facilities. CL's are now improving many their sites to compete and is now our preference with good value and beautiful pitches
The numerous pots and hanging baskets full of colourful flowers that greet you at the reception office might look nice but they can't really disguise that The Wirral Country Park is a bit shabby and run down.
If I'm being polite you could probably call it "tired", but truthfully it needs some urgent TLC and serious money being spent on it.
The roads around the site are badly pot-holed and flood badly after anything more than light rain. The hardstandings are scruffy and look tatty.
The toilet block is definitely in need of refurbishment too.
Two fresh water points on a site of this size is a woefully inadequate provision to be honest and I heard people complaining about it.
It annoys me that the club has undoubtedly spent a small fortune on a pointless and wasteful rebranding exercise which nobody asked for, when sites like The Wirral Country Park are clearly crying out for some investment. Someone has definitely has got their priorities wrong.
It is all a bit sad really because the site in in a lovely situation on the Dee estuary and the Wirral is a really interesting location and a good place to tour from.
For 40 years I've been promising myself that I need to visit. Only now have we taken the opportunity to forfull our dream . Wow ! Well worth the wait, ( don't wait 40 years, go now you won't be disappointed, unless you are one of those idiot members that can't be pleased 😤,yes it's a members club ! (Loads of negative feedback.not warranted )perhaps they should try cleaning dirty toilets 😡.we've never meet grumpy wardens 😤Just dedicated workers, cleaning dirty toilets that some members leave in disgusting state 😠They look after the place to the best of their ability,with the facility's they have .well done Wirral . Top marks AAAAA *****
A beautiful site but definitely needs toilet amenities improving, only 4 WC cubicles in the men's block on a site of this size is just not enough. Otherwise brilliant.
Stayed here for 5 nights beginning of August. We thought the set out of the site was lovely, with plenty of grass around the hard standings. Didn't look like a car park as some CC sites look - in straight lines etc. Some fabulous views from parts of the site. We preferred to be behind trees, for a bit of shelter from the coastal breezes. Warden very welcoming and helpful. Loo and shower facilities kept very clean, but they are in dire need of refurbishment. Appears to be the original loo block that has been tarted up with new doors and cubicles. It is the floor tiling that needs to be replaced. One of the shower tiles had a wide crack that I thought was a leaf lying on the floor. I feel that the rebranding budget would have been far better used on refurbishment as that would have been of benefit to all members. Visited Liverpool, Port Sunlight, and had several long walks on the huge beaches. We especially loved the walk across the sand to Hilbre Island -wow!
We will certainly return.
Had a great stay at the Wirral Country Park, lots to do in the area, would definitely recommend visiting Liverpool, Chester and Port Sunlight, take your bikes and cycle the Wirral way which is just at the site entrance. My only complaint is the facilities, the shower/toilet block is clean but very old and tired and there is only one chemical emptying point which was a long way from some pitches, I expect a lot better for £26 a night.
