 This is such a lovely site and the people were so helpful it was our 1st visit to the site and we will be going back we enjoyed it so much its a nice well kept site and so peaceful even thou your near to the centre of southport I can not say one bad thing about it thanks to all the people who were there for a lovely weekend and would like to come back soon.

I can not comment on the toilets or showers as I did not use them. I can not give a comment on things for children as we had none with me but when I did go around there were thing in place for child safety which for me is a good thing even thou we had no children with us as we could take our grandchildren at some point in time.

I would recommend this site to people which we did on the Sunday as we were packing up to come home. The site is also walking distances for all of the shops and pubs you can park the car on Friday and not use it again till you go home on Sunday if your there for the weekend.

 First time on this site, we took the grandkids for their first outing. As with the previous comments I can confirm the new toilet block ( open about 9 months) was always spotless. The site is really lovely. Ideal location to walk into Southport, even with two young children. Site was spotless and I will certainly be revisiting again.

The only down site is it is next to Marina drive, I didn't think would have had a much traffic on it early in the morning or late at night, but I'am an early riser and the wife slept through it.

It did get noisy in the evening with the boy racers revving their engines up on the retail / McDonalds car park next to the site.

Having said all that I would use the site again if a little on the dear side £15 pn inc Electric midweek, but it was worth it. No driving into the town and having to pay for car parks

 This site's location is really 2nd to none for those who wish to visit Southport by day and / or by night. The town is one of the most 'bicycle friendly' we have visited and the site is adequate for the basic and necessary facilities for a Motorhome. I am not sure that the access to the sloping grassed areas is suitable for 'all weathers' and 'all seasons'. As we visited in a dry (but cold) January, this was not an issue for us. Electric showers are timed and cost a quid. You need a good soap as the water is 'hard'.

 Lovely site ! nice and clean, toilet block and separate shower block spotless. MUCH better than staying on a local farm, water tanks fill up within seconds not like farms were your stood out in the rain for half hour.

Wouldnt advise this site for wandering toddlers as the site drops off down into the lake. Unless you keep your kids on a lead.

One thing I thought little expensive per night !

Apart from that your right in the heart of it, across the road to the pier and beach, 5 mins to town, 5 mins to Pleasureland.

Please bear in mind at the top of the site, slight incline it can get very windy with the wind off the beach, wouldn't advise putting a awning up at the top. We have a twin axle caravan and one night ! The wind was rocking the van.

Taking your dogs ! Can recommend the MASONS ARMS Anchor St just off Lord St, Southport. Let dogs in, REAL ALE, REAL FIRES, Friendly folk

Reviewer: Wineciccio 1 review from this member

 Visited Waterside Lodge CS site this weekend and found that is very well situated for visiting all the amenities that the lovely town of Southport has to offer (in my opinion is far better then Blackpool) less hassle and definitely shopper friendlier. The site although small it does accept about 10 motorhomes/caravans, basic facilities are well catered for ie. Electric hook up/water points and chemical toilet emptying point, a very well kept and clean toilets facilities are available plus a shower unit. All in all a well kept little site, the only criticism I would add is the charge of £17 a night and having to pay £1 for the shower.

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



Date of Visit: August 2009 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Cheryl.mark 91 reviews from this member

 Just had a weekend at Waterside lodge. The pitches are on grass during the summer and they allowed us to put our awning up. This is a camping and caravanning club CS so members only. It is an ideal location for the centre of Southport and cheap @ £12 a night all year! Some of the pitches are far away from the hook up so we had to borrow an extension lead from the wardens which they kindly lent us. The site now has spaces for 10 vans and it didn't feel cramped. There are no showers or toilets but this didn't bother us as we use our own.

The only negative is at night there is noise from the road and the KFC carpark is used as a meeting point for the teenagers in their fast cars, the Mcdonalds is open 24hrs Fri & Sat and seems to be a social meeting point, however, they seemed to go quiet at midnight and it didn't affect our weekend.

We would definitely be staying there again as itds an ideal base for Southport.

 Stayed here mid November, the cl site is in the centre of Southport 200yds from the pier. It is based in the Scout premises. Most of the parking is to one side of the scout premises in the carpark with a couple of pitches on grass. Ideal being on the carpark itself, so no mud to trail into the unit. Obviously you cant put an awning up.
This is a basic site just fresh water. Grey waste disposal and a chemical disposal point but they have electric. There is slight road noise from the coast road but the location of the site more than makes up for that.
Two minutes and you're on the pier close to KFC, MC'DS, Pizza Hut etc. Five minute walk and you are in town centre. We shall definitely use this site again. It is open all year.
