Well, What a lovely site. Water and Electric on the pitches, Makes for an easy stay, Close to Kirby easy to get to for shops etc, Liverpool about 25 min by car away.Chris the owner is a fantastic host on arrival give him a ring he will set you straight on where everything is.
Campervan visit July 2023
We chose the site for access to Ormskirk which proved to be as easy as other reviewers described. It is an easy walk to the station with pavement all the way. The site was well kept with friendly owners; we did not need levellers. Although we expected the hum from the motorway, we found the traffic noise from the road outside the site & vehicles not on the CL moving in the early morning disturbed us. Site facilities as described elsewhere.

Highly Recommend
Fabulous CL. Easy access off M58. Chris is the owner is welcoming and helpful. If he’s not at home when you arrive, call him on his mobile and he’ll give you the site access code as gates are locked. All pitches have tap and EHU. £20 per night. Fairly flat pitches but used first step of levelling wedge on one side of caravan. Super chemical toilet emptying point. Site is very well cared for.
Good access into Liverpool and beyond using train from Maghull North Train Station. This station is 1 mile from site. Parking is free for rail users. Mersey Rail Day Pass costs £4.20 and can be used for travel into Liverpool Central Station and beyond.
There’s Morrison’s Supermarket and Co-Op in Maghill, take aways and pubs. Ormskirk is a short drive and has twice weekly market, Morrison’s Supermarket and Marks & Spencer’s Food Shop and a pedestrianised shopping precinct.
The soft hum of traffic noise can be heard but wasn’t sufficient to bother us. We stayed 9 nights and enjoyed every minute. We are in love with Liverpool and the friendly locals, and can’t wait to return.
Welcoming Host but Compromised Site
All previous comments about the hosts welcome and accurate. Very pleased to see us and knowledgeable.
It wasn't entirely his fault that the pitch we were offered wasn't in a field as in the picture. Apparently due to recent wet weather the camping fields was too wet for vehicles so we were in a small yard on a concrete base which had at one time been a building. It would have been better to refuse the booking.
Site fee is now £15 and I'm not sure how anyone can mark it a 'peaceful' the motorway is only a field away. All comments about access to Liverpool are accurate, the train station at Maghull North is relatively new, has good access and a regular commuter service.
So in general, OK for a couple of nights, particularly if you have business in Liverpool, but, if it's wet not for much longer.

We went to this site to go to Liverpool for my wife's birthday.
Mersey Rail have a station called Maghull North, which is only about a mile from the site.
Plenty of water and the field for dogs is great for my wife's guide dog to have a play.
The owner has great knowledge of the area too and always stops for a chat.
We Have booked again for August Bank holiday weekend.
The prices are very good too.
great site
stopped at lyons farm for 3 nights. The owner was very friendly and even hooked up our van to his tractor and put it on site because the ground was very soft due to a lot of recent rain.
We used this a base when we went to aintree. A taxi to maghull station was £4 and the train only a few pounds.
Its a basic site, but great location and the owner is very nice.
Warm welcome
The owner of the site was very warm, knowledgeable and welcoming. This was a really handy location for moving on to see Another Place on Crosby Beach. We noticed that Carla Lane's Animal Sanctuary was just down the road. We found a nice Indian restaurant in nearby Maghull. Very enjoyable. We would return for a visit to Liverpool. Other site users were good company.
good location
Stayed here for long weekend so that we could visit liverpool. great location, just a few miles from the local train station Maghull. Train cost us £12 for the 4 of us for a return ticket into the city. Didn't meet the owner until last day but a very nice gentleman. A bit of a pain having to keep unlocking gate everytime to want to leave but it does add extra secruity. The CL is well kept and flat and offer large pitches with electricity and water on each pitch. Only down side really is that site is very close to 3 very busy noisy roads and you could really hear them, luckily it was this time of year and we were sat in the caravan. My ear plugs came in very useful during the night. Plenty of scope to put toilet or shower in the future. Overall great location, nice owner and large flat pitches. Would return to site to visit liverpool and surronding areas.

Good site
Just off the M58. Good ease of access, but do not just turn up as you may not get in owing to a security gate. BOOK FIRST. Free car park, all day in Maghull, behind the shops. Bus stops 50 yds away to Liverpool, Skelmersdale and Wigan. Just round the corner buses to Southport. Good roads in the area. Warden on site but has a day job so not always someone at the CL. Some road noise. No need to drive into Liverpool.
Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes
Easy to book and very helpful owner. Good assess and a locked gate. Each pitch had a EHU and water. Had a good day in Liverpool but rained all day, best to take the train if you go for the day. car park near the waterfront can be expensive. The site is handy for getting into Liverpool
