Don't buy the Wi fi

What an excellent site all round. Welcome herein August each year with the grandchildren who also love it. This year our granddaughter had to interrupt her fun as she had homework each night in prep for an up and coming school exam. We thought as this was such an important thing we would buy the club WiFi as we did not want petty interruptions putting her off the important stuff. We looked into it and was told that the site was rated as silver and this would be suitable for the task ahead..... How wrong this was...we were freezing ,buffering ,locked out , messages of unavailable WiFi. Yes the signal strength showed as good but this is irrelevant when there is no WiFi available........we felt really cheated and it doesn't help explaining to our grandchild's parents why she hadn't done all her homework Do not waste your money on this wifi

Lovely, quiet and peaceful site

We stayed for 3 nights for a little break which also included a visit to the Southport Flower Show. We arrived at 12.20 but were allowed to pay and then park up until the 1pm entrance time. While we waited we had a walk round the site to find the water point and see which pitches were available; which weren't many due the flower show. We chose pitch 20 which was on a bend on the roadway which meant we had a huge pitch, surrounded by a lot of grass. The site is very well laid out and quite spacious. It was lovely to see so many rabbits hopping about, they weren't fazed when you went close to them. We actually live in Sefton so we've been to Southport numerous as it's only 14 miles from home, usually as a day tripper though. So it was nice to be more like a holidaymaker! The town with its numerous attractions is a short walk away from the site. there is a Park & Ride about 5 minute walk from the site. this was not operating for the 3 days of the flower show. When it re-opened we took a trip on it to get to a further part of the town. It only cost £2 for both of us, so good value plus the ability to jump on and off all day. We spent a fascinating morning at The Atkinson, which is a theatre but also a museum, really worth a visit. Lovely coffee shop too. On the day we attended the flower show we were able to access Victoria Park from a short footpath from the site, we were there in a couple of minutes! Facilities at the site are as you'd expect from a club site, very clean and well maintained. We had a lovely stay and would thoroughly recommend even if you live local-you could be anywhere!

will be happy to stay here again

Not the first time we have stayed here and just like last time the site didn't disappoint, its quiet, clean and tidy, staff friendly and helpful, short walk to town or the beach, worth a look for sure if you haven't stayed here before.

Great site near to home!

Good serviced pitch with plenty of grass around for the children. Friendly staff and spotless toilet blocks. The only slight negative was we did not have instant access to the parent and child facilities room, the key we were given for the toilet blocks on arrival did not work for that room or the disabled one. Best to ask for access on arrival.

Great site

Great site. Spotlessly clean and good flat pitches. The site manages where very friendly. The site is a very short walk into town and sea front with a lovely flat promenade to walk on. Lots of shops in town. This has nothing to do with the site only the thief that was there stealing water pumps which cost us £70 to buy a new one. It is very upsetting for this to happen and the site managers were very concerned. How do you stop these despicable people ruining ours and your holidays. They have no shame. Seen secondhand pumps on eBay selling for £45.🧐🧐

Great location just watch out for thieves

Location of the site is brilliant, parks, arcades and lots of local amenities nearby. Great for the little ones to visit. Easy to travel into Southport for the beach and pubs. Turning is tight in places, have a walk round first to get your bearings. Sadly there are people that steal on this site so keep an eye on your possessions. Anything goes even a £50 water pump... There is no CCTV and the site can't really do anything so be warned. Site was clean on our visit, quiet at night despite being school holidays.

Great location for Southport Town

Spent 3 nights at this site in early August. Straight forward to locate and easy check-in. Site is divided into two halves; one area is open, the other appears to be cited around what was a roadway. The latter is very narrow and bordered by over-bearing trees. There is no turning point at the end of the Esplanade section; we would suggest you walk down to view the pitches first. Our pitch in the open area was well spaced apart and level - however unfortunately, a large number of members appear oblivious to the Club Rules and were constantly walking between and over our and neighbouring pitches to short-cut the route to the washrooms - this was very irritating. The wardens are visible, checking pitches etc and on two occasions, had the need to ask members to contain their outfit and awnings/windbreaks within their pitch areas - not on the extended grass area behind your pitch. Facilities were clean and spacious; however, the 'hot' water for showering and more importantly for dishwashing was mostly tepid. To access the beach/sea, you need to cross quite an expanse of Saltmarsh which was muddy and messy and the sea itself was approx 1 mile distant. Adjacent to the site is Victoria Park where various events are held each year - check before you book - but also there is a model engineering club which operates model boats, a ride on gauge railway and radio controlled racetrack - these operate on Sundays and provided much interest and amusement during out stay. The walk to town is best tackled via Rotten Row, which presents a beautiful display of flowers and shrubs for the entire length of the road. Lord Street itself has many cafes/bars/bistros with most offering under canopy pavement seating areas. We enjoyed a late breakfast at The Pavilion and an evening meal at The Potting Shed - both very enjoyable. For the family entertainment, there is plenty of activities including an amusement arcade, fun fair rides, paddle boats etc at the Pier - which were all busy and thriving. Everything is easily accessible on foot.

5* location

Had a great service pitch (106) huge pitches still had a issue with lazy sods taking shorts cuts to bathrooms and also would prefer combi locks on toilet doors instead of keys kept forgetting mine so 2visits every time probably an age issue. But overall great place to visit ,pity Victoria gardens were no access due to setting up for flower show.

Excellent as always

Another most enjoyable stay at Southport. As always, the wardens are hard working, friendly and great sense of humour right from check-in. Check in is speedy, efficient, friendly. The site is so well maintained,both the facility blocks and the pitches. This site is within easy walking (if your are reasonably mobile) distance of the town, including the historic Lord Street, the long pier, beach, and supermarkets. Plenty of eateries and watering holes, including 2 Wetherspoons, and more traditional pubs. Decent shopping too, including M&S. Our favourite site, which we visit at least 4-5 times a year all seasons, even though we are based in the Midlands. A big thank you to all the wonderful wardens here.
