 Typical well kept CC site. All facilities immaculate and Covid adhered to. Really friendly and helpful wardens gave us a quick and easy check in.
We ate at the Brown Cow next door (in beer garden) good food and we'll priced. Very popular even on a week day lunch.
The country park has several good walks along the river and canal. Plenty of open spaces for picnics and children to play.
We found site to be very peaceful and quiet with the exception of the odd steam train passing by.
The site was less than 50% full for the 3 days we were there, despite that the "Site full' sign remained out at the gate all the time. If you are pulling in unbooked suggest ignore sign and ring the buzzer.

Lovely site
Very clean
Enjoyed the steam trains passing behind our MH. although we didn’t use it there is 2-4-1 on the trains
The weather was poor but it didn’t stop us having a couple of walks around the park and visiting the pub
Really enjoyed it

Great welcome, very helpful staff. Site facilities are excellent although they prefer you to use your own. Up to date with Covid set up. The park is quiet and well spaced out.
A short walk to Bury. The down side of the trip was that we thought that Burrs country park was bigger, I think we walked it all in half a day! It was also a bit on the expensive side.

Arrived just before 12 and was warmly greeted by the Warden. Looked around the site and as others have mentioned many of the pitches looked 'tired', however it could be seen that many had been refurbished also. These 'tired' pitches during the weekend became prone to puddles, although it has to be said the weather two weeks previous had been dreadful. Found a newly laid pitch and set up.
Facilities were good and clean, and tried a walk round the country park, must be nice in the dry weather. Went to the Brown Cow in the evening, and had a nice meal at a nice price, Good to see a busy pub.
Walked into Bury, about 35m to the Market and the Transport museum, and on the way back stopped in the coffee shop, again very well kept and good service.
Only down side is WiFi. As a Silver site I expected to be be able to join and read emails etc, however couldn't get a signal.
We were right on the edge of the site next to the railway line, and found I could only get a signal by the toilet block and towards the shop. When mentioned to the warden I was told 'it maybe because of high usage'. Now I'm no expert, but I thought that as a Silver site this shouldn't be an issue.

Used as a base for me to go into Manchester for a gig as Bury trams go to Manchester direct.
Spacious pitches we had a serviced pitch sp was no need to find water and waste. Ideal dog-friendly pub on site.
Facilities are very good and well maintained.
When we stayed there was a steam train festival on and so every hour a train went past every hour Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Great for the spotters amongst us.

Arrived on one of the hottest days of the year and after travelling through heavy traffic around Manchester were happy to arrive.
This is a club site so is very well organised which wont suit people who like a less ridged set up. Yes the pitch sites are regimented but the amount of space on each pitch is huge. It accounts for the site fees being at the top end (we aren't club members so didn't receive a discount) but the amount of space between units accounts for this.
I'm sure they could fit many more units in if they reduced the square meter per unit. We prefer to pay extra for the additional space.
The site is well maintained by the wardens. The showers, toilets, washing up facilities and laundry rooms are also kept in a clean state. There is a card operated barrier at the entrance which keeps out cars who may want to park to use the adjoining country parks facilities.
The adjoining country park is well worth a visit. It contains industrial heritage walks along side fishing lakes and country walks. It also has a station for the local steam railway which can get you into the local towns.
Bury market being well worth a visit.
There is also a pub at the entrance which serves food. We didn't eat there during our visit as the weather was so nice we ate outside the MH so cant comment on the standard of the catering. It does however have several nice beers which we can testify to!
This site is suitable for both active people who wish to walk and also for people who want to just have an easy ramble. There are also walks suitable for wheelchairs and push chairs.

To find site:- Leave M66 at junction 2 onto A58 to Bury. Follow A58 through Bury following signs for Burrs Park. Bear right into Brandlesholme Road and watch out for right fork into Woodhill Road signed for Burrs Park.
Continue right to the end of this road, the final section is over cobbles and through the remains of the old mills and then up a ramp to the site. A double barrier system is in operation. At the first barrier follow the instructions on the intercom and reception will raise the barrier allowing to pull forward to the site entrance proper.
Burrs Country Park CC Site is situated in the Country Park which is on the outskirts of Bury. The site is open all year and accepts non-members. There are 103 pitches all of which are on hardstandings and all accept awnings. 33 of the hardstanding are serviced pitches with fresh water and grey water waste.
Electric points are handy to all pitches and use CEE 17 blue connectors and are rated at 16 amps. The electric bollards also have co-ax TV connectors which is free to use but you have to provide your own cable. We found the TV connection more reliable put straight into the TV rather than via the outfit system.
The toilet block is centrally situated and is of a high standard. There are four service points dotted around the site plus a motorhome service point which now incorporates an open grill grey waste water dump. However the grill is set some way back so larger motorhomes my still need to use the covered drains.
Reception sells a few essentials. Next door is a small information room. There is site wide WiFi which I found pretty reliable. There is no on site children’s play area although there is a playground not far away plus of course plenty of kick about space in the Country Park. A rather nice touch is the small herb garden at the front of the sites with an invitation for members to help themselves to what they need.
Along one side of the site is the East Lancs Railway with regular steam and other vintage trains depending on time of year and the day of the week. The East Lancs Heritage Railways runs from Bury through Ramsbottom and onto Rawtenstall. In 2016 a new station was opened to serve Burrs Country Park Next to the site. Club members can claim some discounts on train fares.
Also near the site entrance is the Brown Cow pub. Whilst this is a handy hostelry for a drink or even a meal it does also create some day time noise but usually only at the weekend. Likewise events held in the Country Park can create some noise. This site is ideal for a visit to Bury and its famous market or perhaps a trip into Manchester on the tram system direct from Bury.
There are buses available from near the site, about a 10/15 minute walk, into Bury and Ramsbottom. There are two eating establishments within easy walking distance of the site. For shopping major supermarkets are available in Bury.

This is a really lovely well kept site Very clean showers and toilets. Heated too !
Its just a walk into Bury Its better to walk because the traffic ‘ system ‘ in Bury is horrific
The scenery around the park is very pleasant
The Country Park is popular with families and dog walkers and there are Steam trains that pass the rear of the site
There is a very good pub at the entrance to the site The food is very good and pet friendly
There is a cafe across the road which is very popular too
The only negative aspect of the whole set up is the cobbled road leading up to the site. It is very wonky and unpleasant to drive along

Have stayed here many times in the past, this time was a stopover.
I did notice some poorly maintained pitches with weeds growing, not something you usually see here.
The motorhome service point only allows one direction of entry so filling up can be a problem is you have an English van with offside filling point and the water pressure on site is not the best.

Love this site, 3rd visit and have booked again for September. Great location, easy access from all directions and lots to see and do.
I was disappointed at at a couple of children that arrived midweek scootering the wrong way around the site and seeing it perfectly acceptable to stand and stare into our unit. One, are they not taught pitch etiquette and two, what a cheek!
I found all 4 wardens approachable, friendly and very helpful. They also work tirelessly and thanklessly to hear some folk talk in keeping the site well maintained, clean and tidy. I do have an issue with the amateur signage re where you allow your dog to wee. Yes, I understand the reasoning but really, if my dog needs a wee, apart from dragging him off site, there isn't a lot I can do about it. Having said that, we are responsible and tried our best to adhere to the request.
We found a chippy up on the Brandleshome estate at the top of a footpath that started from Burrs. It took about 20 minutes to walk up and slightly less on the downhill back but our fish and chip supper which had been double wrapped by the lady who served us was still hot enough to eat and was delicious.
We also used the taxi service that one of the wardens had given us details of, Elton, I think their name was and it was very reasonable with a trip from the site into Bury town centre costing £3. 60 and very prompt service also.
Every time we come to Burrs, we leave ready to visit again.

We stayed at this site in November. The access road into the site is being resurfaced at the moment so there is quite a lot of machinery about and access could be a but restricted Pulling up to the barrier you have to speak to the warden through an intercom, I had great difficulty hearing anything they said, fortunately they raised the barrier for me saving me a bit of a walk. The site itself is well laid out the wardens are really welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. There is a pub just outside the gate that serves food ( didn't sample) and a restaurant just a short walk away. You can walk into Bury in 25 mins where you can get the tram to Manchester £4. 20 single you need change or a card to purchase at the tram stop. Bury has and Art gallery/ Museum Free a Fusiliers museum small charge and The Transport Museum is a short walk from the centre and is Free it is well worth a visit. Bury market is really big and the food hall is fantastic. If visiting when the temperature plummets be aware that there have been power shortages on the site presumably caused by people overloading the system. The Steam railway runs past the site and runs at the weekends in winter.

A lovely site but the cobbled access road is a bit of a bone shaker and sorts your contents out! We had booked this as a means of visiting Manchester and it was well worthwhile. Apart from the fact that the wardens were new and had no information on Manchester we had a good time. We suggest the following -
Take a cab to Bury tram terminus (£4) then take the tram to St Peters Square (£3 each) then take the hop on hop off bus from the Town Hall (90 minute round trip) (£6 (half price)for pensioners, spend time at Salford Keys then round off your day with afternoon tea in the crypt of the Town Hall.

We use this site when we have a few days spare throughout the year. Its less than a hours drive in our motorhome. This site is typical caravan club site. Good hardstanding pitches spotless toilets and showers. And helpful wardens. Running behind the site is a steam railway the site now has its own platform There is plenty dog walking around the site. Just outside the site gate the brown cow pub serves own cooked food and is also dog friendly
