 We found the wardens to very friendly and helpful, a warm welcome and given the choice of pitches. As with most CC sites everything was immaculately, kept - yes facility blocks showed closed for 2 hours but were open again in just over an hour.

Pitches are a good size and hardstanding on gravel, they all seemed a very generous size. There is a motorhome service point and several other water points around the site.

Southport is just under 10 minutes walk either along the road of through the park. Enough there to keep most people occupied for a good few days. Plenty of good flat walking, enough shops to occupy you for a full day, a beautiful pier and a small fun fair.

For us a really brilliant site, there is nothing we could fault and we will be back for a longer stay.

 Great location to the middle of town and the sea front, clean and tidy but they should be given the toilet block and showers are closed from 10. 15 till 12 everyday - given you have to be off site by 12 (12 sharp!) its not ideal and is not good value for money if closed during what I would say is a peak time. Gardens are kept very nice and tidy but I don't think I would go back as others have said, the site warden needs a massive lesson in manors and how to be welcoming, you get the impression if your not in a 50k motorhome they don't want you there shame as this kind of thing is exactly what puts people off

Reviewer: AL53HX 23 reviews from this member

 Have just spent a very pleasant 5 nights at this site, it was my first time on a CC park and, after reading a few reviews of other sites run by the CC, I was a little apprehensive, I needn't have worried, it is a very good site, toilets immaculate, wardens friendly and helpful at all times, site very clean and tidy, so all in all I was very impressed.

Next to the site (walk through a wooden gate)is Victoria park, a large expanse of grass where they hold the annual flower show, really good to walk or run your dog (still get people not cleaning up the mess)and it's through there that the town is reached (around 10-15 min's stroll)so a good all round experience

 What a great site for visiting Southport

Facilities as you would expect spotless all of the time

Nice Park next door and a quick stroll to the sand dunes and beach

10 - 15 minutes walk into Southport passing a morrisons on the way

Will definitely return sooner rather than later

Only gave 6 out of 10 for child friendliness as there's no play area on site but there's a very good Park directly accessed from the site 


Popular Choice in this Area

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

 Nice polite staff with a great location. Nice easy walk into Southport.

New facility's are excellent and the site has had a huge extension since our last visit.

Only downside is the astronomical price of just under £45 per on ght with 3 adults and 1 child. Probably won't stay again as willowbank is just down the road and is £20 per night cheaper. But I guess you have to pay for its location.

 We arrive in our motor home sat 6th Feb to a nice warm welcome to the newly assigned warden. He was very informative were to go in the area and we're nice to eat out. The site was above excellent, nice spacious pitches and in a good location for the beach for warmer seasons and a nice 10 minute stroll through the park to the shops and attractions including the fair which was closed due to winter. After a rainy walk to the centre we we greeted by a selection of different shops and a nice small market, plenty of pubs and eateries and cafes. We spent the day wandering around the market town before settling down in a few of the pubs on offer for a spot of tea. After returning to the campsite which proved to be peaceful we settled for the night. After a great nights rest we were blessed with a immaculate toilet block with a great disabled shower/toilet room which was useful to myself as having MS. The only downfall was the block was cleaned between 10. 15 till 12 which made it a bit of a rush to shower after the night before This site is faultless and we will be returning in the very near future for a few more nights to enjoy southport property once the weather becomes a bit warmer. Thankyou for a lovely stay

Reviewer: Icecreamqueen 2 reviews from this member

 Not the friendliest of wardens on this site. In fact after my 'interaction' with the warden on check in I actually decided not to return to the office during my stay. Seeing them around the site they were very aloof and when I questioned one about the whereabouts of the service toilet when the toilet block was closed it obviously caused great annoyance, not at all helpful like wardens on other sites perhaps they were having a bad couple of days.

Apart from that the site is wonderfully placed for walking into town there was also a cycle path along the prom and we wish we had brought our bikes although you can hire them at the Eco centre up the road from the site. Everything else has been mentioned lovely walk into town down rotten row past brilliant flower beds accessed via gate at rear of site.

One thing I would mention is the site has a public footpath running through it so seemed quite open to visitors and this made me feel vulnerable visiting the toilet block after dark. Luckily we had just purchased a porta potty for the van before this visit so it wasn't a problem but as not all tourers have toilets on board it might be worth considering.

All in all a brilliant stay plenty to do, don't let the greeting on arrival put you off.

 This is a typical Caravan Club Site, very well maintained with immaculate Facilities (the site was extended in 2014 so half is brand new) It is situated just a 10 minute walk from Southport town centre and there is a large Morrisons Supermarket 5 minutes away. There is a very large park area adjacent to the site with a large outdoor model railway alongside ! all in all its a great site in a very convenient location ! we will return

Reviewer: Dotti 3 reviews from this member

 This is a lovely site. Its ups are that it is within walking distance of the Town, with the lovely Lord Street shops and places to eat. There is a large supermarket very close, with café. There is a lovely walk down to the Sea and there is direct access from the site to Victoria Park with a reasonable children's play park, lovely gardens etc. The beach at Southport is very muddy in places and not the type of beach for kids to make 'sand pies'. There are clean places where you can sunbathe if nice, and play ball games etc. Don't dig down! Mud and oil is all that our grandchildren found. The Southport Pleasure park is very close to the site. The rides are accessed via a card payment system and we found it quite expensive. £4 each for most of the rides etc. For smallish children. The promenade is lovely, however, and is backed by lovely gardens and the boating lake. This is a short stroll from the site and wonderfully relaxing. There is a train up the pier and the ice creams are fab.

The downside to the campsite for us, is the usual caravan club ridiculous regime related to cleaning the showers and toilet blocks. Yes, the ablutions are spotless and work wonderfully. Unfortunately, even with what appeared to be quite a few staff for this site, the toilets and showers are closed [both blocks, both gents and ladies at the same time], for 1 and 3/4 hours from 10. 15 each morning. I know that most people have chemi facilities in their caravans, but I am sure that, like ourselves, most people only use these to urinate. [yes, lets get down to the nitty gritty!] To defecate we always go to the 'proper' toilets. As most people do this in the mornings, and as most people on holiday do not get up early, why close the toilet blocks for such a long time every morning?? There is a service toilet available which had a queue of at least 3 people every time I went to use it whilst the toilet blocks were closed. On such a large site I do not think that this is appropriate. There are 2 toilet blocks, and surely they could be cleaned at different times!

My second problem is that on all of the times we have stayed here we have never been able to get a TV signal. We have a good aerial that works most other places. The warden told me that other people do not have trouble. Other campers told me that they did. This site is quite expensive, when it is considered that members also pay a membership fee to the club. I think that cable TV points could have been fitted in the re-furb of the site.
