Southport Club Site

Thanks EasyT, Bakers2 and MollysMummy for clearing that up.  I knew I'd read about it, but couldn't remember the finer details.

As the advice is to stay on the old part, and the "problem" pitch is in the new part, then it shouldn't be a problem to the OP.

Enjoy your stay, Francis.  As others have said, plenty to see and do.

You'll find that, even if the new part is open, the facilities block may not be.  Over the new year period, they were allowing people on but had closed off the toilet block so anybody on that part had a longish walk to the facilities in the old part.

New part is very exposed to the elements and is all Standard Pitches with Awning.  Old part has Standard Pitches without Awning.

The pathway between 108 and 109 in the new part of the site has been removed.

Easy walk through Victoria Park into town or along Rotten Row.  Good food available at The Fishermen's Rest - a five minute walk from the gate out onto Rotten Row.

At this time of year we like pitch 28 (possibly the highest area of the site if you need a TV signal).  The only down side of that can be you often get a queue of motorhomes waiting to use the MHSP. We also like those that back onto the park in the summer months as they get all day sun.

and with awning.

Wonder why the block on the newer side was closed?

Like a lot of sites in the low season? it depends on staffing levels and how many pitches are open ,which will affect if all the facilitie are "needed" Sandringham is another site that we use ,also has one of the facilities blocks closed at this time of year,FM has the whole East side site closed,i think Hillhead also runs with only one facilities block open

Southport was filling up for New Year when we left on 28th December and peak price time

 But with how many pitches were open

Sorry - should have also said only new part has 'Serviced Pitches'. 

There seemed to be a mass staff change over and, on the 4th January, there was only one couple's names on the board outside reception so I guess they were reducing their cleaning workload until new staff took up their positions. 

All pitches were open when we arrived on the 27th.  

I definitely recall being there, maybe last winter, when they closed off all the new part of the site; facilities block and pitches, probably whilst fairly quiet to reduce workload.

By the 4th Peak over and less on site I suspect

Thanks for all the replys. I think we will book and when we arrive will try and pitch in the older area. I going to take my bike so good to know there is somewhere to go
