Good base for exploring the Wirral Peninsula

This site makes an excellent base for exploring the area on foot or bike, or for simply relaxing and enjoying the peace and quiet. Access is straightforward, the final approach is a bit narrow and can become blocked if too many units arrive at the same time. The earliest arrival time is now stated as being 1300, but we witnessed several units arriving early and being allowed on site before this. Some members, it appears feel the rules don’t apply to them and the Clubs’ attitude to arrival times is inconsistent, some sites allowing early arrivals onto site and others making them wait. This is something the Club needs to get a grip on and sort out in fairness to members who do make an effort not to arrive early. The site itself is well laid out with a variety of level pitches on offer. Some are in secluded and well sheltered cul de sacs and there are a few with magnificent views over the Dee Estuary. The latter are quite exposed and are prone to being battered by strong winds. Unfortunately you cannot have views and shelter in this part of the country and is a choice for individuals to make. There is a single toilet block, which we did not use due to covid restrictions despite it being open. Wildlife abounds on and around the site. We were entertained by a squirrel on the bird feeder throwing seed down to the rabbit underneath, much to the amusement of our dog. The Wirral Way cycle track is directly outside the site, from where you can walk for miles either towards West Kirby or through the country park to Gayton Sands Nature Reserve and beyond. The Dungeon, past Thurston Church and back via the country park makes a pleasant circular walk and Hilbre Island is well worth walking to at low tide.
