This site is nice, clean and well looked after.
The staff are friendly and always give you a wave or hello.
The site is a quick 5 minute drive away from the heart of Blackpool and was perfect for my getaway.
With shops close by and plenty of walks it was perfect.
The only issues was slight traffic noise but this cant be helped.
The other was it isn't close to any bus stops so have to either drive or get a taxi (the staff are very helpful in arranging this for you)
All in all I give it a 9 out of 10
Easy to find - well managed and exceeded expectations
First time at this site and overall impressed. It is a flat site with good sized pitches which are easy to reverse onto. Facilities are excellent and very clean as is the whole campsite. Wardens are very helpful and polite. The only negative would be that you are quite a way from anywhere so you do need transport - one Motor-homer told me he had to take a taxi to get back to the site as the bus stop was some walk away. However overall an excellent site and a credit to the wardens. Would not hesitate to return.
Functional and friendly.
This is a very clean site with friendly and helpful staff and good-sized pitches. The site in general and (men's) toilets and showers were admirably clean and in good order. (The Light of My Life was not with me on this trip, so I cannot comment on the ladies' facilities.) One very minor quibble: shower curtains were missing from the men's showers (though the rails and hooks were there), though they were useable with just a little care. Is this a Covid-19 precaution?
From the point of view of access the site is both well and badly placed. General access is good. Getting there is easy - just off a roundabout near the end of the motorway. (See other totally justified reviews about the very short final access via a narrow lane. Members should definitely not arrive before opening hours to avoid blocking the site entrance and public road.) The site is badly placed from the point of view of public transport. I was told that the nearest bus stop is thirty minutes away. Not an issue for caravanners and for motor caravanners who bring their own car, but for other motor caravanners not so good, if like me you both have a self-propelled van and are ancient enough to have a bus pass . Taxis are available.
The site itself is functional and pleasant, but like many club sites, fairly boring. Not somewhere you'd go for the joy of the place itself, but a very clean and convenient place to pitch up. Ideal base for caravanners and for motor caravanners bringing a car along to visit Blackpool and the surrounding area. I'll certainly be back for one or two night stays when I have business in Blackpool.
Quiet site with excellent pitches
A lovely quiet site with good sized pitches. Toilet block is dated but perfectly functional and clean. Very helpful assistant site managers.
Shame about the inconsiderate member who turned up before 12 noon when arrival time is 1300 hours and then blocked the entrance so you cannot get out, whilst they unhooked their car from the back of their motorhome.
Club should make the arrival times the subject of an additional email when making a booking.
Another great stay here
Just returned home from an 11night stay on this site. Its our favourite site and we try to include it in any planned tour we do. We also can enjoy a stay here as a base for a relaxing time with everything we want to do within easy reach. The site is maintained in immaculate condition by the hard working wardens who are very friendly and helpful and always make it feel welcoming. Theres a little traffic noise from the nearby main roads over the weekends but hey, you cant have it all ways. Overall for what we like to do on a break we cant fault this site and its location in any way. The wardens team (or is it site managers now) are always cheery and friendly and ready to help with anything which makes a huge difference. Altogether it gives us a homely feel.
Great staff, lovely site
This is one of our favourite sites, well placed for all of the Fylde coast and local amenities.
What really makes this site so good is the welcoming, helpful, friendly and considerate staff.
They keep the site immaculate and work so hard to keep it that way.
Thanks to Glen, Julie, Steve and Pauline, see you again soon.

Great site!! I can’t keep away!
Another lovely return to this site which I visit at least 3 times a year, Extremely friendly and helpful wardens. I due to visit again in August but no doubt will be back sooner.
Well run site within easy driving distance of all the resorts on the Fylde coast.

Brilliant Wardens
Just spent a couple of weeks at this site which is our familes favourite site, All the wardens - Julie & Glen, Steve & Pauline are all super helpful. Even though our booking process was a little complicated due to other family members staying, Julie handled this superbly without any problems. Julie & Glen who have been at this site for some time, and being local are well placed for advising anyone about the area, The site and facilites are always impeccable and a credit to them all. They are always visable and chatty on site which is appreciated. It is important to always note the arrival time at any site, which is 1pm at this site. Several new arrivals turn up well before this time and just park in front of the gate totally blocking the entrance and the exit for all, not only that but it also blocks the narrow road for others. When you book it states 1pm arrivals and the sign at the barrier clearly states it is a 1pm arrival time but many choose to ignore this and just sit there to wait instead of moving off parking up elsewhere and returning at the appointed time.If you choose to arrive early dont blame everyone one else for your non-compliance. Perhaps the Caravan Club should standise the arrival tme everywhere to aliviate this issue.Looking forward to our next visit to this site - thank you wardens for all you do, The Murphy family.

Brilliant holiday
From the moment you arrive you get a great welcome from the wardens Julie & Glynn and their new deputies Steve and Pauline. The sites impeccably kept to the highest standards in every sense and its a great base to see the whole Flyde Coastal resorts. Already booked our next stay and can't wait to come back. If you haven't been book a break now, you won't be disappointed!
Excellent Site for Newbies
We recently visited the site for our first ever caravan trip with our new tourer. Excellent clean site with good facilities.
Steve and Pauline who run the site were so friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful. Steve helped us every step of the way and made our first outing an excellent experience.
He couldn’t do enough to assist and this was very much appreciated. Would certainly revisit the site.
Many Thanks Andy & Rachael
