Trial run with Grandaughter
We tend to avoid sites similar to this in school holidays but we needed to try 5 year old granddaughter in the caravan for the first time. Only two nights here but the facilities were one of the best we have encountered anywhere. Granddaughter had lots to entertainer her and once she had made friends with the other children on site our lives were a lot easier ha ha. Most children were with their grandparents and there was a lot of wizzing around on bikes and scooters but I guess this is what you get in school holidays. Hubby happy once he found the Fishermans Rest pub ten minutes walk away. To sum things up it worked well for what we wanted but if we visit again, just us two old fogies, will do midweek in term time.
Visit for the Flower Show
Was pleasantly surprised by this site. The photo shows a long line of pitches but we stayed on the new area which is less regimented. Open and sunny (when it shone)! And felt spacious, more so than a fair few other CC sites we have visited. New block was clean. Wifi In general was good, apart from one morning in seven. TV reception was good. The new area does not have so many tall trees. We had wanted a serviced pitch but there are quite a few tall trees and bushes round them and I wonder if TV reception would not be as good. Enjoyed our stay.
Heartily agree that the walk from the site down Rotten Row was wonderful. As good as visiting a stately home with super herbaceous borders!
south port flower show
first visit to this site walked along rotten row into south port any one into gardening this is must do.
large park with play area and miniature railway next
to the site.dog owners be warned rabbits.the site is well laid out and up to the usual cc standards.
A pleasant stay
This was our first visit. The toilet block refurbishment was very good, clean and spacious, one of the best we have seen. We were able to walk into Southport, particularly Lord Street in under 25 minutes, passing Morrisons on the way.
The journey at the end of the M58 was slow because of major road works.
All in all though the site was convenient for the town, the sea front and the childrens play area.

First visit but we will be back.
Spent five days here in August with the Grandchildren. Generally speaking the weather was good which always helps, however I was pleasantly surprised by Southport itself. What a lovely place with something for everyone. Furthermore, other than the ice-cream vendors, prices seem to be fair, especially in the fairground.
The site is well placed, far enough away from the hustle/bustle of the town/city but within walking distance. I have noticed some criticism of the "new part" of the site, but having pitched there, found it preferable to the old part, so its all down to individual taste.
Everything was up to the usual CC standards with the staff being both helpful and friendly.
Children on bikes can be a problem and I`m sorry to spoil a positive review, but we found them out of control at times and I`m sure its an accident waiting to happen. Unfortunately, this doesn't only appertain to this site and is becoming a serious problem and I cant offer a quick fix. Overall, we loved it and will return as "Arnie" says.
Second Visit
We are still pretty new to motorhoming, but we've visited a few sites now and feel more qualified to comment. We enjoyed a six night stay in August, primarily for the Flower Show, which was practically next door. The wardens were helpful and efficient. When I needed an emergency appointment at a local doctors they helped me decide which one to go to. The toilet blocks were nice and clean. The site is well tended and flat, but we still needed levellers. It is easy to walk into the town centre and the wildlife sanctuary across the road was delightful. We will be back next year and possibly before if take a winter break there.
landscape gardeners reqd
Been to this site lots of time and i love it,but the new site is like a caravan storage area.The sooner the club get the landscaping sorted out the better.Iwould also like the wardens to loosen up a bit.
Exercise your dogs OFF site !
We have stayed on this site quite a few times now and always enjoyed our stays before , but this time we were fed up with dog owners exercising their dogs on the grassed areas of vacated pitches and generally around the site . Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that dogs were supposed to be exercised off site. We were pitched near the road at the far end of the new area and it seemed to us that everyone was walking their dogs to this area for their exercise . although I am sure they would have picked up their dogs mess , dogs were being allowed to urinate at every opportunity on the grassed sites , not very nice if you are the next caravan using that pitch with children wanting to play on the grass ! This is also a problem on other Club sites we have stayed on , so come Wardens exercise your authority and put a stop to this anti social problem .
Popular Site
We were a little worried on arrival as the fair and amusement park was manic. I do think that departures should be staggered as there were a lot leaving on or after 12oclock.
However the site was excellent. Toilet blocks immaculate. We cycled all week, great ride to Formby (lovely town and fantastic beach) and Crosby. We did go back into Southport town and although very busy embraced it. Nice walk along the pier. For a family I think there is something for everyone. Would go back again.
