 Well kept site. Clean and tidy toilets. Good walks nearby but tends to be full of dogs.
The site is close to Burry and from there it is easy to get on public transport to Manchester.
The plots are large and very well set out but the planting of trees would give the site a better character.
We did find the wardens very aloof - we did not feel that this club belonged to us as members because of the attitude of the wardens.
After years of visiting Caravan Club sites this is the only site we would not return.

Arrived last Wednesday for a three night stay, was rather disgruntled to be informed that come Friday there would be no electricity between 8am and 6pm, no prior notice, no phone call, no email! however after setting the alarm for 7am in order to shower and use facilities, it appears the electricity was never switched off after all. Apart from this we found the site to be very nice, toilet and shower facilities extremely clean and well maintained. Ate in the Brown Cow one evening and found it to be above average food with a warm and friendly atmosphere. Would definitely return to this site.

Just spent a very enjoyable weekend at Burrs Country Park.
We found the wardens to be very friendly and welcoming with lots of advice regarding the local attractions. Good site facilities - very clean shower block, plenty of showers (6 in the ladies I think) - never had to wait although the site was full.
Excellent site for dog walking although at the time of our visit there had been quite a lot of rain and the path along the River Irwell was extremely muddy. However the paths throughout the country park were fine and there is plenty of room for your dog to have a good run. It was also lovely to see the steam trains pass by the site.
Walked into Bury on the Saturday afternoon - part of the walk is not particularly pleasant as you walk through a derelict industrial estate but the walk only takes approx 25 mins. The market is definitely worth a visit as markets such as these are very rare nowadays. Good choice of stalls to have a browse around and also a couple of good fish stalls indoors. Bought some of the 'Famous Bury Black Pudding' - delicious!
We asked if we could stay longer on the Sunday but the site was very busy with new arrivals, however the wardens let us park in the car park so we could have another walk before returning home.
Didn't try the Brown Cow pub as we came with everything we needed for the weekend but we have booked again for later in the year so will definitely try it then - hopefully the weather will be kinder to us.

Just Returned from our second visit to Burrs, there was a mix up with our Fob, some of it was my fault anyway that was sorted.
We do like this site as it is local to us, the showers and toilets are so clean.
We did receive a call from the Warden to say the Electric may be off till 6 pm on the friday but that never happened ?.
We did not have a Drink in the Brown Cow this time but my Sister did on the Saturday and she said it was quite empty but the small room was full of kids and of course the dogs.
The walks are great for the dogs and adults and of course the kids. I find that the people here say hi and that's it, when its time to pack up that's when you see the people on this site.
The Train was a bit of a pain this morning at 7 am, not good if you wanted a lie in.
We will return again as we do like it here.

As long-time members of C&CC, recently joined CC as well so this was first time on a CC site for over 10 years and was of a standard I expected, spotless.
The approach road to the site contains a 300 metre section of good old cobble-stones, enough to shake the joints and seams of a motorhome (or caravan), so approach slowly or the contents of your fridge will be everywhere, ours were.
The steam trains only run at weekends at this time of year but do occasional 'test runs' through the week, a lovely sight and not at all disturbing.
Bury is a good town to visit and nearby Rochdale to a lesser degree but other surrounding towns are a bit of a let-down.
Found it difficult to find things to do at this time of year, not helped by pouring rain.

Just the two of us.
Excellent site, with all facilities well maintained and helpful staff.
Bury is 10 mins in car, 25 mins on foot, 10 mins walk to hourly bus and £4 by excellent taxi service. The transport museum in Bury is worth a visit and the market is a better than most, especially if you like a bit of fish. Manchester easy by tram (and central Manchester has free bus transport which accesses most museums etc. ).
We enjoyed Helmshore Mill, a textile museum to the North (20 mins drive from Bury)and Blackburn is an interesting(!) experience, where we visited the museum/art gallery (some good stuff), and the newish centre.
We couldn't park in Rawtenstall, as it seems to be all disc
Not bad for 4 days in Feb.

Close to Bury town centre which is surprisingly impressive with great shops and a market full of bargains, this is a brilliant site.
Good for industrial archaeology buffs, it's set close to two old cotton mills whose remains can still be seen.
The River Irwell runs past the site and outdoor activities are available, but if you prefer you can just take your dog for a long walk in the country park and enjoy the greenery.
Not forgetting steam train enthusiasts - the East Lancs heritage railway runs along the edge of the site and old steam trains run up and down it all the time.
The shower block is fantastic, obviously new and is spotlessly clean. The Brown Cow pub is literally a few yards away with decent food on offer. Handy for Manchester and the Trafford Centre too. Recommended!

Back from a Weekend at Burrs, our first time in our caravan. The weather was cold and frosty but we enjoyed it nevertheless.
Site very clean and spotless, walks for the Dog very good.
We drank in the Brown Cow on the Saturday, dog friendly pub. We did not eat in there but my sister did and she said it was ok.
There was no entertainment on though.
We are definitely going again as we enjoyed it and it is local to us so that is a bonus.
There is no facilities for kids but plenty of area to walk. The Train passes the site and the steam train is lovely to see.

We usually go to Burrs Country Park every December with friends, it's a nice break after the season has finished. We like to go there because of the location, it's a short bus journey into Bury to have a look round the famous market then a tram journey into Manchester, last year we caught the German market, which was excellent. The site itself is very well run with nicely kept grassed areas and lots of hard standings, (which we usually need in December) The shower/toilet block is very clean and lovely and warm. The icing on the cake are the steam trains which run at the weekends along the edge of the site, even if you're not a steam train fan they are very nostalgic.

Very well maintained site and surprisingly quiet, given the adjoining country park - though the dog still can't figure out what a steam train is!
Facilities are pretty much what you would expect of a CC site, not much ON SITE for kids, but plenty immediately off site to fill the time, including lots of opportunity for walks. Very good for dog owners too.
The Brown Cow, by the entrance is welcoming and they said they were going to have 'turns' on every Saturday, whenever possible.
We didn't eat there, but did at the Garsdale, just down the road. It was very good food and well priced. We also stayed for the quiz and play your cards right on the Thursday night - didn't win! We didn't find any info about these pubs events on site.
Bury's 'famous' market is. Well. A market.
A good site though, well worth a visit.

Good standard Caravan Club site with usually well maintained facilities, hook up etc, good TV reception and TV connection available on all hook up posts, wardens very helpful and approachable. Very close to the centre of Bury but you wouldn't know it as it is a quiet site surrounded by a country park. Steam railway runs at back of site only running at the weekend when we visited. All the shops you need in centre called 'The Rock' Tesco a few minutes away. Children friendly with playground in the country park and plenty of walks with information about the history of this former wool mill site. Brown Cow pub outside entrance to the site serving standard range of food @£8-£10 for a main course and a good choice of beers.

Another great weekend at this beautiful site. Wardens while very efficient are most welcoming and keep the site in tip top condition.
Showers and toilets are spotless. We picked a grass pitch as they assured us it would be well drained and it was.
Visited local pub, Brown cow for meal on Saturday night and always receive a friendly welcome, even with the kids.
Burrs Country Park itself was very busy due to the fab weather but it is still a very nice place visit even though only 12 miles from our home!
Only downside is no play area on site for children and as they seem to have the land for it this would be a welcome addition. Saying that there is one at the pub but you don't always want to sit in the beer garden all weekend.

Burrs Country Park, surprising nice site and location - especially considering this is just outside Bury.
Spacious pitches, clean site, good toilet block.
Great area for walking and these are directly from site.
Bury ‘famous’ market is on Wednesdays, Fridays & Saturdays offering good quality food, good fish market not to mention the black puddings !
Highly recommended and will be back – 5* site.

Spent a great weekend at this site. Up to the usual Caravan Club standards, friendly welcome, excellent toilets/showers and choice of pitches (most on hardstanding)
Very handy for walks around the adjoining country park and along the river, some interesting historical features too as the site was part of an old mill complex. Childrens play areas within the Country park and plenty of room for the little ones to burn off energy. If you like steam trains the East Lancs Railway runs along side the site, the only down side being they started running at 7.45am each morning so no need for an alarm clock!
Handy pub (Brown Cow) right outside site and another about a 10 minute walk down the road. Dont be put off by the final approach through a housing estate as once on the site all is tranquil and has a great rural feel. We will definitely be going back

We booked this site on recommendation, and we weren't disappointed. The usual friendly welcome and choice of pitch as you would expect from caravan club. There are some lovely walks off the site within the country park, our collie loved it!
Even though you are quite close to Bury, you can't hear much noise at night.
There's a pub less than 2 mins walk from site, serving good food, and its dog friendly too.
The facilities were always clean, big showers with lots of hooks and a seat, however for some reason only 4 of the 6 were in use( in the ladies) which resulted in lots of queues on a morning as the site was full.
Plenty to do around the area, Bury market is worth a visit, and the town centre has a good selection of high streets shops, if you like shopping the Trafford centre isn't too far either.
One of the better sites we have stayed at, and we will be visiting again soon.
