Still a great site

This was my third visit to Burrs Country Park and it is consistently great, spotlessly clean, nice wardens, ideal setting. We use the site predominantly to get into Manchester (usually for gigs) and its a short walk or cab ride to the Metrolink and only £4.80 return to Manchester. Burrs Park is a really popular spot, especially on a weekend. The trains going past are great (heritage diesels last weekend which were blooming noisy but great to see!). We will keep coming back.

Lovely Caravan Site

Recently stayed here, to visit family who all live close by. This was our first organized trip in our Campervan , and this site did not disappoint. Warm, and clean facilities, handy for public transport and local walks, and a good pub on site. What else can ask for? Being an original 'Ramsbottomonian" couple who currently live abroad, it was good to be back home, and see how the area has changed for the better. Will definitely visit this site again.

Another Winner

This site as all the usual and expected standards provided by the CC and it's wardens. We have just had our first trip out for 2015 here. Nearby, I would recommended the East Lancashire Railway which is a twelve mile heritage railway line and runs between Rawtenstall and Heywood with intermediate stations at Bury Bolton Street, Summerseat, Ramsbottom and Irwell Vale. It's really is like going back in time!. You can make a full day of this, getting on and off at the small towns listed above. The line also passes directly by the site. http://www.eastlancsrailway.org.uk Bury market was how I remember markets to be! A two hour experience at least! For something to eat try the Pack House Inn, with great views and very good, reasonably priced food. ( a 15 min drive towards Tottington). http://packhorseataffetside.co.uk There are lots of riverside walks just by the site. Very good TV and mobile phone reception.

Great Site

This was are second visit to this park and again we were not disapointed. The site is in a really secluded part of Bury and is perfect for a break away from the usual hustle and bustle. The facilities are always spotless and the site is neat and trim. It's only a 5 minute drive from the fantastic Bury market and you could be in the Trafford Centre in about 15 minutes, so all in all a great place to stay. Will definately be back.

Not What You Think of as Bury!!

I had been told about this site by several people, but having previously worked in Bury for over 20 years the thought didn't particularly grab me. However having decided I need to give my van the first run out of the year and it only being 40 minutes from home, I booked it for one night mid week. Once I got to the site it could have been a million miles from Bury. Set in a country park beside the river Irwell with plenty of walking opportunities from the van door. The shower block was spotless as was the entire site. The pub at the entrance was warm and welcoming. Will definitely be returning.

A very enjoyable first caravan experience

Just come back from a weekend away at Burrs Country Park and as this was my families first outing in our first caravan I must say if all the sites we visit are as pleasant as this one then we are in for a treat every time we go away. The site was easily accessible, the staff were very friendly. The facilities were immaculately clean and the kids enjoyed the steam train passing every few hours from the East Lancs Railway. The Brown Cow is the local pub which is literally just off site and the food & drink are very nice with friendly staff. The famous Bury market is a 5 minute drive away and there seem to be plenty of little walks around if your interested in this. My family and I are already looking to book to come back here in the near future so if your contemplating visiting here then I highly recommend it.

Peaceful and relaxing

It was our first trip out in our caravan and we enjoyed the 2 night stay at the end of Feb half term. The grounds are fantastic and very well kept. It is scenic with lovely walks. An ideal location given its proximity to Bury town centre and distance from motorway links yet set in a rural setting. We will definitely be returning despite it being 20 minutes from home!!!

One of the Best

Just returned from a 5 night stay here and our first stay on a caravan club owned site. You approach the site through a housing estate and you start to question your thinking ..... BUT don't .. it is a fantastic site and the best we have stayed on to date (been touring just 6 months). My wife writes a journal for our trips and this got 95/100. Its very handy for Bury, 25 min walk on footpaths. The Brown Cow pub is, in effect, on site and very good. Beer is excellent (real ale)and food is basic but wholesome and good value ... £11 for a mixed grill or 8oz sirloin. It is SPOTLESSLY clean and I loved the steam train that runs along its fenceline. Bury Market is brilliant and the meat and fish hall is open daily. We have a large dog and there are loads of places to walk him including the country park on the doorstep which is set up for dogs. We would definitely return here. We only paid £20 a night for a fully serviced pitch in half term, 2 adults and 2 kids and one BIG dog!!!

Unresricted

Myself and my wife spent a lovely weekend there last week,the site is so open and with unrestricted views all round,great large pitches plenty of space between them for privacy.With the Brown Cow pub at the entrance you do not have to go far for a pint and some great food,twenty to twenty five min walk into town via the park,will be back soon.
