Our first time here and not sure what to expect but what a surprise. Tucked away down a side road and looking out over the Dee estuary. Brilliant. The site itself is well maintained as you'd expect but there are signs it's showing its age. A few potholes in the access roads and some of the toilet fittings are a bit loose bu,t overall, well looked after. Toilets may be a bit busy during holidays as the blocks are a bit on the small side and could maybe do with extending? There is a good kids play area in the middle of the site and if you're a dog owner, you're spoilt for choice. Just 5 minutes down to the beach - more sand covered mud flats - and several walkways to get there. Be careful of the beach as some areas could be quicksand-like. We were told by a local that someone had to be pulled out just a week before we arrived. As for the Wirral, what a surprise! So much to see and do. Too much for our short visit but we managed Cheshire Oaks Retail Park, Port Sunlight ( a must) and the Boat Museum (another must). No time to make it into Liverpool but that will be for next time. We're already trying to decide when to go back as it's so good.
sun,wind and rain
Had a great time had all weathers in 5 days love the site but extra showers would be good will return in September
Often windy
Lovely site in a superb location but boy does it catch the wind, regulars told us later that this is not unusual.
The facilities are well kept bearing in mind the toilet block is dated and stretched in peak periods, there are signs of mould on the ceiling tiles in the showers.
We were given a barrier key on arrival but never used it as it was left open all week. If travelling to Liverpool the train from Hoylake is excellent and has a large free car park.
The Chip van on Thursday evening is recommended, decent portions and very tasty.
Will be back
We had a lovely pitch right by the cliffs, but sheltered by hedges. The views over the Dee estuary were stunning and we were so lucky with the weather. You could sit and take in the peace and quiet and the sound and smell of the sea. We cycled to West Kirby along the Wirral way, easy 20 minutes and such a pretty route, lovely views again. Easy to get in to Liverpool from West Kirby on the train £4.95 return. We also cycled to Hooton with a stop for lunch at Parkgate. Wish we had had more time!

Wardens were really helpful especially as we came back late from a Conference in Liverpool and they came out of a closed office to give me my newspaper. THANKS. Always an enjoyable stay at this site.
Second Visit
Had a relaxing time and made new friends again during our stay.

first visit
We enjoyed our first stay at this site, great for walks and our 4 year old grandson loved the play area, nice clean site with great views, will return for more nights in the near future, the country park is too big to do in a couple of days, great location for getting down to the beach too. The dogs loved it.
A Pleasant Surprise
My family overnighted at this site at the end of our holiday this year, sir was close to the ferry port of Birkenhead. We are pleased with the site and its location. Pitch 66 is superb for the children's play area, and it also gets the sun late into the evening. We must certainly use this site again. Indeed next time we would probably stay a few nights and explore the surrounding area.

Lovely place to go with grandchildren
Just home after a lovely week. Wardens welcoming, toilet block a bit antiquated but always clean and tidy. Nice playground and a short walk to the beach. Handy for lots of places. Cottage Loaf pub worth a visit.
Has the club considered revising the directions? We found it much easier to continue to the end of the M56 and then take the A540 through Heswall.
We will return.

Changing pitch.
Nice site with good access to cycle route in either direction, Mozkitos coffee shop in Parkgate well worth a visit.
Pity we had to change pitch after our first night a lot of our neighbours seemed to think our pitch was a short cut to the toilet block.
