 First up don't think getting there early will give you a chance of a pitch with a view across the estuary. As mentioned by other reviews, as soon as one on the estuary pitches becomes vacant someone will move from another pitch into the vacant pitch. I saw it happen twice in the 5 days I was there. I don't know if there is any answer to this practice.
Apart from that the site is well run with friendly wardens who keep the site in a good condition. The site is great for cycling as there is a disused railway track just outside the site.
The wife and myself cycled to West Kirby, Neston and Hoylake on different days.
These cycle tracks can also be walked but it must be slightly annoying for walkers to move for cyclists frequently.
A good walk to be had is along the beach as far as the restaurant Sheldrakes and back. About 4 miles in total.
As stated by others only one shower and toilet block. This block also has the toilet emptying compartment. The showers were hot and adequate but out of action for a couple of days whilst brand new boilers were fitted. No great problem.
All in all the site is well positioned and worth a visit.

1st visit to this site and overall we loved it! Queued to get in but we tried our best to arrive as closely to 1pm as possible. Sadly it was a bit chaotic on entering site initially and mainly due to the site having no waiting area's and the only road around the site wasn't much wider than a single carriageway.
Ok if there's a good one-way system in place but not so good if you meet another unit coming the other way. We felt a little rushed to get on a pitch for fear of holding other people up.
I think the layout, a mix of avenues and cul de sacs was good but some pitches proximity to the road was very close. Lose one or two pitches to create a better, wider, more aesthetically pleasing and user friendly roadway and maybe even install a pedestrian route from the barrier at reception to the toilet block corner.
Pitch sizes were generous and well maintained with no weeds. Views around the site were spectacular.
Plenty of walks from site and easy route onto beach from the sailing club 5 minutes walk from site entrance. Facilities block was clean but dated. Fish and chips Tuesday night were grand.
We saw lots of wildlife on and off site. Planes taking off or coming into Liverpool airport were very visible above the site. We will visit again but will aim to arrive midweek probably to avoid weekend pitching chaos.
The wardens were exemplary. They had a late evening walk around and were very approachable at all times. Sites are getting so expensive now, we paid £31 per night.
I wouldn't pay more than this.

Upside good location for exploring the unexpected delights of the Wirral, downside the site is very tired and much in need of a full refurbishment. Toilet block and facilities not up to the usual C&MC standard. The wardens are very friendly and helpful.
The Wirral circular trail (mainly traffic free) runs adjacent to the site using the old railway line, and the Wirral country park is an easy stroll from the site. The Dee estuary can be accessed from the access to the county park or nearby sailing club.
Nearby West Kirby has local shop’s, eateries and Morrison’s for stocking up on supplies.
A must visit is Port Sunlight, the model village built of Lever Bros money and the factory is still operational – check out Port Sunlight before visiting the site for open days.
Overall, nice area to visit but site needs major attention to bring it up to C&MC standards.

The site is clean and tidy, and the staff are helpful and welcoming.
The site has some pitches that have a good view on the north wales coast and there are plenty of walks just right outside the gates.
Would I go back there again yes nice and relaxing and the site looked popular.

Lovely campsite, quiet. nice views if you get them
Clean showers and toilets although in need of update these are actually the worst showers we have seen on a site, they are very basic with nowhere to put your stuff when showering only, 2 hooks on door, would also like to pick our own pitch on booking.
Bit over the top with covid rules and regs as well

Laverick Hall Caravan Site - Lancaster
This touring site offers spectacular views towards the Lake District and Morecambe Bay, with Blackpool Tower also in the distance, yet located just over 3 miles from Junctions 34 and 35 of the M6 motorway. Visitors will find just 10 electric pitches for motorhomes and touring caravans, with access to the superfast Wifi, toilets with sinks, a shower room and fresh water taps. Dogs are allowed and there is a designated field for walks.
The local village of Halton is a mile away from the site, offering a convenience store, newsagent, pharmacy, post office and fish and chip shop. The market town of Carnforth is 3 miles away, with its train station (featured in the 1945 film Brief Encounter) and supermarkets. The seaside resort of Morecambe is within 5 miles and the Lake District is only 35-minutes drive. Find out more here

We stayed here for Easter just after lockdown ended and it was wonderful to get away.
The site is very well maintained by a very busy team of wardens! Its down a long lane from the main road but that was fine. Felt open and airy, neighbours didn't feel too close.
Nice walks from site although the beach wasn't really a beach and the dogs came back from their walk incredibly muddy! The beach at West Kirby was much better!
The chippy van which calls on a Tuesday night was a welcome addition, food was good too! Wi fi met the approval of our 16yr old.
We will visit this site again, some pitches have stunning views but I imagine getting on them can be tricky.

Just returned from a week at this site. Staff very friendly and helpful,
The site is quite remote so you have to drive to do any shopping and bus stop is quite a walk away.
There is a club in walking distance but dogs are not allowed inside ok if it’s sunny but not if it’s cold or raining.
Large pitches, some with great views over the estuary but windy, some of the cul d sac pitch’s very difficult to exit with a 8 metre Motorhome.
Bad points: the toilet block is dated and needs a refurb, if you went to them on an evening there were in a sorry state with water all over the floor (children playing in the toilet block)and unflushed toilets, this is not down to cleaning but the site clientele I hate to think what some people’s houses are like.
We will not return as it’s not up to the clubs usual standard.

This is a pretty, well maintained site with lots to do in the surrounding areas. We found managers and assistant managers alike to be very friendly and helpful.
The pitches are well set out and the toilet and shower facilities good and far exceeding my expectations.
Give it a go, you won't be disappointed.

Torrential rain and a waterlogged site doesn’t make for a good camping experience, however the cliff top location of this 93 pitch site at Wirral provides spectacular views over the Dee Estuary towards North Wales. It worth noting that only 9 of the 93 pitches (pitches 10 – 14 and 15 – 19) have uninterrupted views over Estuary.
Very friendly and helpful wardens and stacks of information of things to do and see locally are available in the information ‘shed’. The toilet/facilities block is a tad dated and requires modernisation to take it up to the current Caravan Club standards.
The beach is accessed either from the slipway used by the local sailing club or the steps towards the quirky Shore Cottage and gallery located at the bottom of the cliffs by the estuary.
A traffic free cycleway/footpath is found directly outside the site entrance using the old railway line and provides an easy 2 ½ mile route to West Kirby to the North of the site or 2 ½ miles South to Heswall, both having numerous shops, supermarkets and eateries. The route forms part of the 35 mile Wirral circular trail. Pick up a free guide from the information centre to discover many of the delights and attraction to be found on or around the trail.
West Kirby has a train station with a regular and inexpensive service to Liverpool.
A social club located by the adjoining semi residential caravan park allows none members in and has live music. A fish and chip van visits the site Tuesday evening.
Overall a nice site with ease of access many of the attractions to be found in this surprising interesting part of the country.

We spent a nice weekend at the Wirral Country Park CMC site. The site is easy to get to from the M53 motorway and has some lovely views across the Dee Estury towards north Wales. I imagine that if you get the weather right, the sunset would be spectacular. It rained quite a bit while we were there and the site does get waterlogged in places with huge puddles creating a bit of an obstacle course!
The pitches were standard CMC hardstandings with instructions to pitch with caravan in the middle, car on the left and awning on the right which seems to be standard now. The site is right on the Wirral Way so if you enjoy walking there are lots of different walks available direct from the site.
We don't live far away (this visit was to get our caravan set up for the new season) and we walk in the Wirral Country Park regularly, but we found a new walk which we hadn't done before. If you don't want to travel far the small towns of Heswall and Wesy Kirby are very close and have nice eating places and some quirky shops. Farther afield you can reach both Liverpool and Chester within half an hour.
However, we felt that this site did not live up to the usual high standards of the CMC. Don't get me wrong, everything was spotless and the wardens are clearly doing an amazing job but you can only work with what you have and the facilities on this site are not good.
The toilet and shower block reminded me of the changing rooms in my old school before the sports pavilion was condemned and demolished. They are old and tired and cold and draughty. I had an extremely unpleasant shower on Saturday morning where the water was only warm, despite being turned to the hottest setting and then getting dried and dressed in the cold, draughty cubicle was not nice at all.
This site could be so good as the location is brilliant but the facilities need completely replaced.
