We are new to caravan touring and bought our first caravan in order to be self-contained during the pandemic. After visiting more than a dozen sites in 18-months I feel I can comment on what should be expected by club members from caravan and motorhome club sites. I begin with Blackpool because this was one of the first places we visited and we returned again in the second week of September. The staff we encountered on our stay were affable and efficient and I pay tribute to the way they they maintained the facilities - fresh and spotlessly clean. So much so that for the first time we began to use the communal washrooms venturing out of our own little bubble. Our pitch was No57 which took early morning and later evening shade. The sunniest pitches are from 26 down to 41. Eighty-eight to 95 also see most sunshine. Pitches 16 through to 23 have noisy local traffic but there is a constant distant motorway buzz throughout the site. The location is great for visits to Blackpool and the coast -up and down- and we found the cheapest petrol at Morrisons supermarket. All in all a nice place to stay for a relaxing break and easy access from the M55.
