Just returned from a week at this site. Lovely area and ideal site, well maintained and managed. Facilities all clean and tidy. Play area for kids and plenty of choice for walks and cycle rides in the vicinity. Wardens are friendly, welcoming and helpful and full of advice. The Cottage Loaf pub is good eating nearby and Heswall close by has plenty of tea/coffee rooms and eating places - The 'avanti' is recommended. Beware of narrow road for approach with nasty road speed humps (poorly marked) as you pass the 'chalet site'. Handy for trips to Liverpool via Park and Ride at Hoylake Rail Station with very frequent trains. Other interesting locations to visit for all tastes within reach.
Wirral
Situated on the cliff top overlooking the river Dee, this is a lovely site. A short out of the entrance there is the choice of either a beach walk or woodland along the Wirral way. The entrance road, however, is another matter. The long lane must be carefully negotiated due to road humps which aren't particularly visible, and a mirror outside the site gate would make exiting safer as vehicles from the sailing club can appear from the left without warning. (We noticed there was one for the static site further down the lane). We would advise visitors to take a walk around the site to familiarise themselves with the layout. We were pitched on a dead end road and several people passed us looking for a gate while we were there.
A short drive to the park and ride at Hoylake enabled us to spend the day visiting Liverpool making use of a 'save away' ticket covering trains, buses and ferry. We found this really good value and easy to use, even going as far as Crosby to visit Antony Gormleys 'another place' figures which are scattered across 3 km of the beach from low to high water mark. There are 100 cast iron life sizes sculptures. It was surreal watching them disappear under the incoming tide. A visit to Port Sunlight is also interesting. Lord Levers Victorian village for his soap factory workers was way ahead of its time and could set an example today for its layout
We would recommend a visit to this location
Mersey Treat
We have stayed on the Wirral a few times now.
This trip, we had our seven old grandson with us.
He thought it was great, to able to walk to the estuary and ride his bike down the cycle way in complete safety. It also benefits from a great children's play area and he soon made friends with others. The wardens are very helpful and keep all in a great condition. The location is perfect for trips to Liverpool across or under the Mersey or just explore the Wirral.
Amazing location
Once again a great experience staying here! Lucky to get the best pitch on"millionaires row" overlooking the Dee. The Wardens were really excellent and made up for the bad weather with their great sense of humour and hard work. Will be back next year for our son's Wedding nearby.

Windy and Wet
Back after just 2 days at this site spoilt by the wind and rain but that's the name of UK camping LOL. Enjoyed the walk direct from the site to West Kirby along the old railway track so nice and flat. Staff on site were friendly, would have parked with a great view over the water but with that wind pitched up in a bit of shelter all the rain made the site very muddy but looked a good site.
Great Site
We stayed here during the October Half Term. Good to see the wardens organize Halloween allowing the youngsters to do "Trick or Treat" but, at the same time, they devised a system for caravaners to opt out (if it didn't have a balloon tied to the motorhome or caravan then it should be left alone). This worked really well and virtually everyone played along. The site is next to the Wirral Way and provides excellent safe walks or cycle rides for adults and children alike. The walk to West Kirby was lovely in the early Autumn morning. Liverpool City Centre is 30 mins away by train if you don't want to drive in. Lots of other places to visit nearby including Cheshire Oaks if you really can't do without shopping. For those who want a nice walk, nearby Thurstaston Common is lovely (couple of miles away).
