Previously an historic mill, Burrs Country Park Club Campsite has much to offer the whole family - from relaxing river and countryside walks to contemporary art, and with the nostalgic East Lancashire Steam Railway passing by. The campsite also provides you easy access to the beautiful country park situated just north of Bury town centre, and is handy for trips into Manchester using the direct tramlink. The city of Manchester, just half an hour away by Tramlink, is a perfect base for big football matches, concerts and events, not to mention the extensive retail therapy options that Manchester has to offer - making touring in Lancashire a great choice for the discerning holidaymaker. The Bury Tramlink station is just a short bus ride away. Alternatively, there are several walking routes from the campsite to the station taking between 25-45 minutes.
Burrs Country Park Club Campsite is based around the River Irwell and the remains of two cotton mills - Higher Woodhill Mill and Burrs Mill. Extensive development of the mill has left interesting archaeological remains and water courses in the area. Travelling north and east of Bury, you will find picturesque countryside with numerous small towns and villages, with industrial heritage to explore.
Burrs Country Park Railway Station is the East Lancashire Railway's newest station, just a 5 minute stroll from the campsite. Travel on this fantastic heritage steam railway and take advantage of the exclusive member offer.

Great Location - Ruined by the weather.
Burrs Country Park Club Campsite
I must be unlucky to have stayed here for the second time this year and for 6 nights just with constant wind again. With the added storm on Thursday night which damaged my caravan.
I tried to stay for august bank holiday too but due to the clubs system failure the booking wouldnt go through. by the time it did work the weekend pitches were booked. so had to move off.
The Wind here again was extremley bad. is it really windy here all the time??
Location is why i'm here, park and ride at bury and tram straight into Manchester.
I managed a walk around the country park on the Saturday morning. however there was a fair on this and the music started which was really loud and not my style, but when you could hear it on your caravan pitch which are not cheap it isn't great.
The staff were brilliant though.
Convenient for visiting family
Burrs Country Park Club Campsite
We have stayed here on numerous occasions whilst visiting family in the area. Good size pitches and shower blocks clean. Trains are a lovely feature. Not all visitors can walk into Bury but there is a local bus service a short walk by the kiddies play park. There is a small dog walk on site and 95+ acres of surrounding parkland - however we still saw dogs off lead and being walked on the grass around the pitches and being allowed to do their business. This is not acceptable and rules regarding dogs should be enforced. The removal of bins from service points to a 'bin compound' beside reception does not enhance the site and only encourages rubbish being left around the site.

Beware of unsociable behaviour
Burrs Country Park Club Campsite
Stayed here many times lovely country park with train station
This time we chose a service pitch on new area infront of train station
First night motorbikes riding around and loud music till 130am on station next night fireworks
Informed warden said they had heard nothing felt unsafe as no intrest from wardens and rather isolated from rest of site noticed security notices placed all over
Be very careful where you pitch your outfit we unfortunately won't return as felt unsafe and unsupported
Water logged
Burrs Country Park Club Campsite
Been many times before.
Excellent site in general.
But on this occasion flooding on our pitch and was a pain, yes could of moved but it was only last 2 days.
Also pitch was towards brown cow pub, my mistake, noisy.
And grass being cut from 7 15 am either from brown cow pub area or council owned areas, bit early.
Noisy site by the Brown Cow pub.
Burrs Country Park Club Campsite
This site has horrendous noise from the Brown Cow pub. Please avoid any pitches nearby. The wardens were not interested in any complaints at all.
