They say first impressions count, and the impression made by the staff at Southport is very poor. We have never stopped on a Caravan Club Site before as we have only just become members. We were disappointed with the staff from day one, and have never met so many miserable people in our lives. No friendly warm welcome, or any real presence from any staff on site other than cleaning the toilets. Always enjoy having a natter with the wardens, but very rarely saw them out and about around the site. The site itself is immaculate and this alone just about saved the break for us. Plus there are lovely walks along the beach, which is just over the road, as well as the fun fair which is about a 10 minute walk away. I would have to say the site in general seems very child unfriendly, for the exception of children who tear around on bikes with out any manners or a care in the world. This may be the normal thing for a Caravan Club site, as we have never visited one before. We had booked several up, but after visiting here we will not be taking these and have already cancelled. Its a shame, as I have already stated, the site is fantastic and has lots to do around it. Its just a shame that the staff are so rude and unfriendly, to the point you are made to feel unwelcome. Very disappointed and did not live up to expectations given when taking out our membership.

This is a lovely site in a great location, the facilities are clean and tidy and the staff friendly and welcoming. A 10 minute walk through the beautifully kept Victoria park brings you out by the Morrisons supermarket, from here you can either head towards the lake, marine Plaza and Pleasure-land or head for the shops of Lord street and the town centre. I stayed on the site for 5 nights in my Motorhome with my wife and 7 year old son, we also have 2 small dogs, we found plenty of dog walking space both in the park and across the quiet road in the dunes. There is a children's play park just off the site and a gastro pub about 5 minutes walk away. I really can't fault the site at all and will be a regular visitor.
Reading other reviews, we were prepared to expect noise from traffic on the adjacent road - and we were not disappointed! However, our experience of all sites that are so close to town amenities is the same and we think it is a small price to pay for the convenience of being able to walk everywhere (we are in a motorhome, so don't always have independent transport). The site facilities are immaculate and it is located between the beach and a beautiful park. Directly through the park is a good Chinese restaurant - we have a dog, so settled for the takeaway option, which was excellent. All in all, a good site for those in a motorhome, those with dogs and families.
