Ideal
Every thing you need and more.
The new part of the site is as yet a little exposed and can get a bit windy. But that's caravaning.

2 nights on a service pitch
We used this as a stopover on our way south and reserved one of the service pitches. The site is great; close to the town and adjacent to a large park. The service pitch was close to the entrance in a small group of similar pitches. It was the early May bank holiday but the site never felt crowded, unlike Southport on the Monday which was heaving!
First time here but not the last
Its a large site, some 171 pitches and is essentially divided into 3 areas. There are 2 very good shower blocks, exceptionally clean and up to Caravan Club standards. very easy to walk into the town centre via the footpaths out of the site and across the park. Morrisons very near if required (5 minute walk). In the visitors book there were a few complaints about the lack of greenery and to a lesser extent a lack of privacy - well all I can say is that Shrubs need a couple of seasons to mature and with the recent building works, its not surprising. Wardens were fine, we didn't see much of them, nor did we need to
Great break
stayed here last bank holiday 2 minor complaints 1 motor bike noise but not the clubs fault and 2nd I witnessed crockadile Dundee by the toilets put his caravan the wrong way round so he was then looking into next door and using there grass, this should not have been allowed as it can cause friction with fellow campers. a mention to the exhalent staff the site was spotless as always very helpful whenever any questions asked. Will return again.
What a Great Improvement
We have stayed at this site before the redevelopment and have to say that the improvements are excellent. The toilet/showers where always clean and of high quality. Even though the site was full there was no problems with noise. We had a none awning pitch which I must admit was small but we did manage to fit our caravan and car on. We were situated on the old part. The New part looked nice but needs time to develop as at the moment seems rather open...the trees and plants have not yet matured. All the warden were very nice and had time to say hello. Southport itself is much improved with a facelift to the lake area. We liked it so much we have already booked another short break.

Great site, great location
We stayed for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. This is an immaculate site with superb facilities and is a credit to the wardens looking after it. An easy walk across the park into town is an absolute must, as is a walk along the well kept promenade and pier.
This is a site that is on our list for a return visit in the very near future!

Not quite what it says on the box
A six night stay brings two complaints from me and a comment. One is nothing to do with the Club but concerns the nuisance of continuous high speed motorcycle noise caused by bikers racing along the promenades. One night it was like being next to the TT Course from 8.pm to 10.30pm. Horrid. The other concerns the wi-fi which throughout our stay was useless. It gave readings of .05Mb and frequently disconnected. Very poor value. The comment concerns the statement that the site is good for dog owners. I don't agree. Most dogs will be affected in one way or another by the huge presence of rabbits. Be warned!
Vast improvement
Our first trip out this year was to one of our favourite sites not far from home. We have been coming to Southport for a long time and at times have been disappointed in the site although we have always come back. The old girl has had a facelift and is now amazing. As well as the site being extended the old toilet block has been rebuilt and is on a par with the one on the new side. There is a children's playground .whether this belongs to the site I don't know but the children spend a lot of time there instead of racing round the site on their bikes. The wardens are very busy never seeming to stop tidying up and driving round the site keeping it clean and tidy. A short walk into town and plenty of eating places and a lovely walk on the pier. If you have never been here you must give it a try. Oh did I mention the site is across a very quiet road from the sand dunes
Southport. Large site close to town and beach
Stopped 2 nights en-route to the Lakes from Sussex. Easy access. Wonderful friendly and very helpful welcome. On the website I had to book twice as there was little availability (two types of pitch). This was quickly rectified on my arrival, and I had no need to move my van. Level pitches. Walking distance to Southport beaches and town centre shops/attractions. In our two days we visited Formby dunes (Nat Trust) and walked around the woods spotting red squirrels - also you can visit "Another Place" Anthony Gormley's statues on the beach at Crosby. The car park here was free and motorhome friendly. Southport is a large site (recently extended). The facilities were 5 star.
