Hi,

I have been reading through some of the recent reviews of sites in the North West and am being put off by many comments of rowdy behaviour, drunkeness and poorly behaved children. Is there anyone on a quiet site at present, as I am looking for somewhere for next week. (Preferably somewhere south of Cumbria and North of Northwich)

Try Wyreside Farm Park at St. Michaels near Garstang - lovely little site and very quiet.

Just remember that one person's "rowdy behaviour" is another person's "high spirits". What a reviewer found to be unacceptable may be perfectly acceptable for you and just because a site is noisy on one particular night doesn't mean it's always that way

We've been to places with bad reviews during school holidays and great ones during term time so my advice is to check When the reviews were for!

And go with an open mind. Speaking as a native of the North West, we don't all behave like that.

I have found you really have to read quite a few reviews to get the real picture. You can get the odd person leaving reviews who's expectations are not really in line with what you would expect from a run off the mill site and shall complain about the slightest trivial thing. But when you get review after review saying the toilets were a disgrace and the site staff were useless then take that on board and avoid like the plague.

Pay your money take your chances

good luck

Search the site's map with the Adults Only box ticked - that removes the risk of noisy feral children at least. Or, as another reviewer has said, avoid weekends if that's an option.
