Masses of facilities on offer here, everything from jet skiing, equestrian centre, golf course, motor bikes, quadding track, play park to mention but a few, unfortunately every thing was dirty and I mean everything (all of the above and more). There was no hot water and the toilet block was grim. Reception staff were really friendly and helpful. Many campers live on site, or certainly spend lots of time there and many tents/caravans have seen better days. Lots of people getting VERY drunk and making lots and lots of noise until small hours (do not go here unless you are an alcoholic) and enjoy that sort of thing. Facilities excellent but not really the kind of environment I really want my child in.
Just got back from a weekend here, where do I start. We had to leave the camp site at 11.30pm due to the fact that some of the camp fires had turned into bonfire's and we felt it was totally unsafe, we had 5 children between me my husband and my sister-in-law and had to get them out of bed to return home. The car's and tents smell very smoky.
There is a lot of facilities on site motor-cross bikes, paint balling, jet skis, cafe, park etc!
The toilets are in such a state even when claimed to be cleaned they didn't have lights, so in the evening we had to use the disabled toilet as that has one, the showers are just as bad.
This is a site that I have visited many times but unfortunately each time I say I wont go back as it has got worse each year. We return as other family insist it is there only choice. This year we will not return nor in the future.
It is a shame as this site is in a great location for southport and has massive potential. It used to be quite nice as it has a great play area and decent toilet and shower facilities. It is also on a lake but not dangerously so for children.
You can camp in the wood or in a field. On our first visit we were told that because we didn't have kids we were not able to stay as it is a family site but we explained we just wanted a quiet weekend away and had no music or alcohol. This lead us to think it would be quiet and it was then but now it has changed.
There is a jet ski club on site so flash loud cars roar through the site night and day.
There is a golf club on site but this is not part of the campsite. It is full of flashy cars and people not wanting to see or hear the campers.
There is a static caravan running lots of money making exploits (bouncy castle, go cart, crazy golf) this is very scruffy and the people who run it are loud.
The bar is full of people whose main priority is to drink.
The play area is full of unsupervised children (parents in bar) so is unsafe.
What start as BBQ's end late as bonfires.
It feels unsafe and unclean now
A shame as I imagine there are people out there with happy memories of this site before it's decline.
This is not a cheap site to stay at anymore either.
Just back from our weekend(2 adults and 4 kids-3,5,11,12)
Will never go back again!
Place can be more suitable for young people or who prefer noise weekends.
We found just one positive thing on this site-kids play ground,but even there kids must be supervised at all the time.
Didnt feel safe to leave tent unsupervised. People around drinking all day and night, fires, litter everywhere around the site, staff- if you don't ask, they wont say anything.
I wouldn't recommend this site for families with kids, who like to spend nice weekends.
This is a very large site, with plenty of space. As a cyclist with tent, I had an area of about 4 football pitches to choose from.
All of the staff I met were extremely friendly and helpful.
The facilities are convenient and clean, although I struggled to find anything to indicate which taps were / were not drinking water.
There are plenty of facilities - shop, cafe, etc. I didn't visit them, so can't comment.
On the down side:
- The site, like most locations in this area are very exposed. The constant wind off the sea make camping unpleasant.
- The Reception doesn't open until 9am, so for a cyclists and walkers who need an early start, this could be a problem.
- At £17 per night for a 6ftx4ft tent plus bicycle makes this the most expensive site I have ever visited. Given the limited choice of campsites in this area, a cheap B&B might be considered better value for many.
Myself, 2 other mums and 7 young boys went to Leisure Lakes August bank holiday weekend.
The good points:- The site has a great lake for jet skis (which were £5 for 3 laps of the lake being driven by staff- kids sit on the front or back) and a smaller fishing lake. The kids park area was well equipped. We went to one of the pubs on site and found they were quite reasonable, we also tried the cafe which was nice too.
The bad points:- As soon as we arrived we were lost, its a huge site and there were no directions, sign posts, or map given to where everything was, and what facilities they had to offer. With us being in tents, we headed for the wooded area, which was jam packed full, not enough room to put up one tent let alone 2 large tents and 3 cars, so headed for the main field instead. The field itself nearly wrecked my cars suspension and was thick in mud at the entrance. We managed to find some more even ground and pitched up.
Later decided to go for a shower, and when we eventually found it, we were soon made aware we needed to have bought a key for a £10 deposit just to get in the shower block, and also needed to buy tokens for the shower from the 'shop'. After entering the shower block, we were astounded to find there were only 3 shower cubicles for the entire site! We couldn't believe how dirty the shower block was.The shower itself was stone cold, and the floor in the cubicles were even worse.
I needed the loo at about 10pm so had a trek to the toilet block. The floor was full of rubbish and fag ends, and not one of the several cubicles had loo roll. I had to get some from the gents. The sink area again was full of fag ends and dirty toilet roll. Not once in the 3 days we were there did we see a cleaner, or any improvement in the cleanliness of the toilets or the shower block.
On the 2nd night, one group of girls staying together were screaming and shouting being verbally abusive till 4.30am. We tried to report this by contacting the site office as soon as it started at 11pm but got no answer. No sign of a warden or security all weekend. We all want a drink or 3 when we're on holiday but this group really made sure no-one got any sleep that night. We all couldn't wait till we got home.
We stayed here over the easter weekend and was in 3 tents. The site is ok with good facilities on, park,lazer shooting, paintball, watersports. All seemed reasonably priced, the shop was the lady in the office with multipacks from various big stores separated and sold, but very cheap so you didn't mind! showers well, it took me 2 days to finally be able to buy a shower token has they are like gold dust(+60p) old fashioned but warm and not bad size, adequate toilets never had to que. The pub on site featured a country+western feel with many people dressed up, we never used it. In all the camp was £12 per night and you get what you pay for! we just wanted somewhere to try our new tent and unwind. You can have campfire at your tent side which is good. Did hear some nise from other campers but was all quiet by midnight. we would use this site again for a cheap break although a bit tacky it had a good atmosphere to it!
We arrived Friday evening and found the site almost full. In the main the site is home to 'static' touring caravans with their pitches marked out with cheap windshields of all colours. The toilet/shower facilities are purportedly cleaned twice per day, I would ask myself where? The shower tiles are black instead of terracotta, the toilet seats weren't touched the whole weekend we were there. The showers are 60p and cold, one site user told us you had to have your shower at 7am to catch the hot water. Children are allowed to run all over the site facilities using their parent's pass key, willy nilly.
There seemed to be a shortage of electrical points, most of those there being used by the 'static' caravans. There were groups of people in caravans and tents, having large parties with lots of alcohol being consumed. Its noisy, with music playing, dogs barking and howling and people shouting all day. Not family orientated site at all. To cap it all Friday evening the on site bar is in full swing, at some ungodly hour we were woken by a large group of people arguing and fighting, as you would expect a lot of bad language was used. On both nights there were vehicles coming on and going off the site in the very early hours of the morning. The only good side of the Leisure Lakes complex is nothing to do with the camping site per se, and that's the children's play area and the cafe, which is clean and reasonably priced. There were several people in the office so I don't actually know who the site warden was, but although pleasant enough, did not seem approachable or helpful.
The site has such potential it is a pity its not being fulfilled. Just the removal of the windshields and scruffy fencing and erection of a uniform alternative light fencing around the caravans would make a huge difference. A power wash used on the facilities would make a huge difference.
The nearest shops are a few miles towards Southport or Burscough. The nearest pub is a few yards from the main gateway. Southport is a lovely town to visit.
I use this campsite a lot for the following reasons, country and western club which is great, play area is fantastic my grandchildren love it. Son inlaw loves fishing on the lakes which is on the campsite. The cafe is nice and is reasonable with prices and very clean. The rates for the pitches are cheap, £15 pound for a caravan and £12 pound for a tent whatever size you want. You can have campfires outside the tent. Showers are clean but you do have to pay for the showers but only 60p.
The staff are lovely and are very helpful at all times. I cant fault it.
A very busy site with noisy campers. We were packed in so close we could hear the whole history of the family next door. Facilities were ok but we were so short of sleep we left after 3 days. Nice area and as we spent time with family we did enjoy it but its not a site for the quieter camper.
