Southport Club Site

Francis, we've stayed there a few times though not an expert on the site.

We've had a 7.4m caravan on that site without issues, access we found to be good and access around the site easy enough.

We prefer the older part of the site as its not so open or near the road, we try to pitch with the van against the woods/park.

Walking into Southport is easy enough access through the park. 

We enjoyed our visits there as there is so much to do within an hours drive of the site.

Easy level walk into town. Not checked distance but under a mile. I prefer the older part of the site showing all the trees on the plan as the newer part is a bit desolate in my view. Access very easy.

We usually call and see the red squirells at Formby point but we decided to go theere after Christmas having stayed from 13th December. We had bought our peanuts in shell from Morrisons as usual but unfortunately we had a surprise Chrissy present of a stinking, lousy cold. Yep with you on the new part ..... just needs some tumbleweed on it to liven it up

We haven't been there for some time, but I do remember reading on CT not that long ago about someone who complained that their pitch, which was near the toiletblock, was constantly used by folk going forwards and backwards to the toiletblock.  Or has that since been rectified, as I also remember talk of a chain being put up there or something.  Perhaps someone who has recently stayed there can shed more light on that, if it was me, I'd want to avoid a pitch like that.

That was along the rear of the toilet block about pitch 108/109 no idea what has happened as we have been going there for the last 8 Christmases I think but avoid the new part of the site

Town centre is easy to access, Francis. Site is generally quiet. Good cycling locally if you bring your bike. Head south along the coast road.

Train station in town so you can go to Liverpool.

About 1.5miles to station I think

We have stayed there. Yes there was a path between pitches to the new facilities. Really poor design for the this and there was only one entrance to the block so you had to walk the length twice if you were female just to reach the ladies door! 4 times by the time you leave if you're not parked by the entrance.

Easy walk to town. Easy walk to rail station be that in the town our the opposite way, name escapes me  very reasonable costs, stations right through to Chester, Port Sunlight, Liverpool, stations for red squirrel watching and another place. 

More than enough to occupy you for several days or much longer. 

Cant help on pitch suggestions.

The new part is terrible ..... acres of desolate loose gravel with an odd bit of grass here & there.

The so called problem pitch was next to the toilet block on the new side. Due to the club trying to cram in as many pitches as possible it meant that people tended to cut slightly across the corner of a pitch adjacent to an access point in the miles of fencing around said toilet block.

Sounds as if by the last two posts it has been designed as a lot of things these days by those who have no grasp of how it affects users
