 We chose this site for our first night in our new caravan - close to home, and allowed us to do a bit of motorway/a road/B road driving. As first time tourers, this was ideal. The staff were friendly and ever so helpful. The facilities were immaculate, and I like the idea of needing a key for the loos/showers. Lovely level pitch, and ideal location for a quick trip into southport or Liverpool. Spend some time exploring the coastal path and dunes - bracing! We'll be back - suited us as a short break to try out our new toy!
Some road noise from A565 and next door to an airfield, so planes too. Didn't overly bother us.

We stayed here for 4 nights and I can't fault the campsite at all!
We have booked again for the Southport flower show later on this month.
I am registered blind and was given the disabled washroom key on arrival. Very nice staff and a well run camp.
We used the bus service into Southport on two of the days.

Just returned from Willowbank after a 3 night long weekend stay. Apart from the weather it was a nice stay. Onsite facilities limited for kids 3 swings a climbing frame and small football field luckily the weather wasn't too bad. Shower block immaculate and cleaned on a regular basis. We did find that if the site was full there could be issues getting off the site as pitches I found to be a bit too close for comfort it was busy on our visit and found had to do quite a bit of manoeuvring to get out. Pitches fairly level and dry.
Great place to use as a base for Southport and Liverpool we found a bit of a bonus on the one wet day and found that it was £18. 00 for 6 of us to visit Pontins (quite a bit run down)for the kids to go swimming and use of all the entertainment facilities until 11pm. Only down fall we found was that it is close to the Formby Bypass which can be slightly noisy but you soon get use to it.
Staff at Willowbank fantastic from checking in escorted to our pitch and checking out always polite friendly and willing to help.
Visiting again soon.

We just had 3 night's stay at WillowBank and had a great time! The owners were really helpful and friendly, and we were made to feel welcome as soon as we arrived. The site is spotlessly clean and the grass and plants were very well maintained. The toilets and showers were really clean, and it was obvious why they had been awarded a Superloo award! We had a really relaxing break and cannot wait to return. The only down side was the noise of motor bikes racing on the main road, which at times sounded like the Isle of Man T. T! A minor irritation, however, and no reflection on the site.

Just had a nice stay at this site. Easy to find and friendly staff. Nice and flat, pretty site, good shower block. Couldn't adjust temperature of showers which were lovely and hot for adults but perhaps a bit too hot for children. The Sparrowhawk pub is within easy walking distance and does lovely food. Some minor road noise from site but not a problem. Easy run into Southport along coastal road. Would return.

A very nice site large pitches and friendly staff. Ideal site for walkers and cyclist. Shops closeby only ten minute drive from pontins and southport.
Only negative is they close the toilets on the top field when caravans on field start leaving when they get down to about ten caravans left. Very annoying when you have asked for a pitch near toilets because I have bad knees and difficulty walking to next toilet block

Needed a break not too far from home and couldn't have chosen a better site. We were less than an hour from home but could have been miles away from the noise of the city. The site is absolutely spotless and very well laid out. The facilities were first class too. We had 2 dogs with us and the dog walk was perfect. It runs along the side of the site and would appear to be a now disused lane. Perfect for the dogs to run safely. Just a short 10 minute walk from the site takes you to the amazing nature reserve with many clearly marked walks through the trees, over the sand dunes and down to the beach. There is also a regular bus outside the camp site which takes you into Southport, which is a lovely town to visit.

Stayed at this site with my wife and dog in our caravan over the bank holiday period together with my daughter and her family in their caravan and we had a lovely stay although the weather was a little inclement at times. We suffered with the mist over the liverpool bay which grounded some flights from the Isle of Man but that was not anything that could be foreseen.
The site is well maintained and clean and tidy and a good location for getting into Southport, being on the coast road. The kids enjoyed the visit to the beach although the weather was not great. Dogs loved it too but we had to keep an eye on them or would have lost them in the mist.
The site staff were friendly and helpful and the pitches were fine.
Went on recommendation of a fellow caravanner and would recommend it to anyone wanting a short break over a weekend. As we may well go back again as it is conveniently located for us.
Thanks for a good stay.

Very we'll run site, clearly marked pitches, good quality although small showers, Mrs complaint re showers was that the heating wasn't working. In November! Park set within trees although close to by-pass. Not cheap but you can see where your money goes, security barriers and the like. Must visit Sparrowhawk pub whilst there, we ate frogs legs there and saw Alan Hansen!

My wife and I are touring caravan virgins so chose this site because of the good reviews it got and it was local to were we live. On arrival we were welcomed by a very nice couple, we were shown to our pitch and also assisted with getting our van on the pitch (which was appreciated ). Toilet and shower block are spotless, at night it was quiet despite being close to a major road, will most certainly be going back

Stayed here for 1 night whilst touring up the coast. Received a very friendly welcome and were shown to our pitch by a member of staff. Used the shower & toilet block as those in the van were being used by the teenagers! Spotless facilities and nice and warm. We did hear a little road noise in the evening but it wasn't intrusive and didn't disturb us. The location was perfect for walks into the village or train/bus to other spots on the coast. Will probably stay here again when touring the coast next time.

Booked site on the spur of the moment in August. 2 hour drive for Carlisle. Met at site with a smile. Staff welcoming. Toilet and showers block very clean and tidy. Camp site clean and close to plenty of golf courses. Other caravanners friendly. Hire a bike or take your own is a must. Plenty to see and there a plenty of watering holes in any direction. The only negative thing was one of the staff had a very bad rash on his leg in the form of a man city tattoo. If your a keen golfer take your clubs, and don't do what I did a look at the forecast for the week ahead and leave you clubs at home big mistake. Going back next year with clubs. Campsite 10 out of 10. Thank you

We had a lovely, quiet stay at Willowbank. It is a very well maintained site in a good location. Easy access to Liverpool. Just hope on a train, Southport. 15 minutes in the car and some lovely small towns/villages to see like Ainsdale and Formby. Recommend a visit to Ormskerk (Thursdays market day) Very friendly staff, will definitely be coming here again.

Stayed here for a weekend with my wife and 2 year old son. We arrived on Friday evening and was greeted by helpful and friendly staff who showed us to our pitch which was on grass hardstanding. The pitches are well separated and although we were close to the main road it never really bothered us. There isn't much for the kids although there is a ball field and a small play area. The shower / toilet blocks where spotless.
We went for a walk around southport and around the theme park which kept the little one entertained and wasn't overly priced compared to Blackpool. Park and ride was a bargain at £1. 50 per car.
Overall not the nicest site we've been to but we would definitely stay again for a short break

Having bought a new caravan after a 25 year break, this was only our second weekend away in it. We booked this site because it's not too far away from home and it had some good reviews.
We weren't disappointed, on arrival we were greeted in a nice friendly manner, we were then escorted to our pitch by a man riding a bicycle and on the way we were shown how to use the key fob which opened the park entrance barrier.
The park is immaculately maintained with lovely grass and nice roads, the ample sized pitch with electric hookup was ideal for us. The toilet/ shower block was small but very clean and tidy, access was by key only which made it feel safe while having a shower after dark.
There isn't much to do on the site but that was fine by us as we just wanted a nice place to stay while we figured out all the mod cons in our new caravan. I think children may find it a little boring as there is only a very small play area for them but there is bike hire so that would be an option to pass a few hours and Southport with its good attractions is only a short distance away.
All in all we had a very nice quiet two days there and I'm sure we will visit again.
