 This was our second visit to this site and it was as good as the last time we were there.
Wardens are friendly and the site was imacculate.
There are two pubs close to the site, The Brown Cow at the site entrance does good real ales and does food but the food is not that good. The food at The Garsland just up the road is better although slightly more expensive but you get 10%discount if you show your site receipt.
The shower blocks were clean but the ladies had 2 shower cubicles closed which did cause ques. When asked why they were shut the wardens said that when there were less than a certain number of pitches not used they shut them, which I found strange as when we booked in they said that they were fully booked. Also my partner told me that the heating was not on in the ladies although the gents were fine.
It is an easy 20 min walk into Bury or to Tesco and the trams to Manchester are not expensive. Plenty of walks close by and good for cycling. Kayak center next door if you like river paddling but I am a sea kayaker and rivers are not my thing. All in all a good site that we will go back to again.

Spent the last weekend in January here this year, with our dog and three children (1mth old through to 4yrs).
I had some concerns regarding how good the site would be due to its location. Nothing to do with Bury, but that it was in a built up area, as we usually aim for something in the countryside, or near the coast to enjoy walking and cycling. I’m happy to say we had nothing to worry about. You would never know that Bury town centre was on your doorstep as the site has a countryside feel to it.
The site standards are as you expect with the Caravan Club and looks to be a favourite of families and dog owners. Do not be put off by the drive up to the site which goes through a residential area. It may be one of the nicest parts of Bury, but we arrived while it was dark and were initially concerned of overnight security due to the proximity of the residential area! Also, once you leave the main road and start the drive to the country park, all site signs seem to disappear and you don’t know if you’re going in the right direction – head for the tall chimney keeping left on the cobbled road.
The site location is excellent. Set in the middle of Burrs Country Park, the site has ample walking. There is an adjoining public field/ park (very popular with dog walkers) and various adjoining river walks, all with paths suitable for pushchairs and wheel chairs. Note that there is no cycling permitted along the river paths.
Burrs Country Park also has some fishing lakes (you need to contact a local angling club for a permit), canoeing facilities, an adventure rope and climbing frame facility (for adults and older children), and a play area in the field/ park. Note that this play area is more of an exercise course for older children rather than toddlers (no swings or slides etc.).
There are two pubs within walking distance. We tried the Brown Cow as it’s at the entrance of the site and permits dogs. It’s a nice pub with friendly staff and another children’s play area, but the food wasn’t the best meal we’ve had (starter OK, but main course over cooked leaving chips rock hard). Price was reasonable though. We would give the food another try as I think they were having a bad day. We never tried the pub further down the road (note that you can get 10% off if you tell them you’re staying at the site).
As other reviews have mentioned, the East Lancashire Steam Railway runs right next to the site. Our children loved this, waving every time a train passed. We never made it on to the train this visit, so can not comment on ease of access from the site, or anything else.
Overall, we loved the weekend enjoying lots a walking and feeding the ducks! We’ll definitely be back and would recommend the site to anyone.

We have just returned from Burrs having stayed over the New Year.
It proved to be the coldest (-7deg) trip we have ever experienced. We wrapped our water hog in bubble wrap, took the pump/hose inside the van at night and still had no running water as the crystal filter froze!
We, however, were not alone. Most of the other vans were the same. Everyone was swapping stories, helped each other and were so friendly.
The toilet blocks were really warm and wonderfully modern and clean. Plenty of hot water and free showers. A launderette and dish washing room were also in the same block.
The hardstanding pitches are spacious and plenty of room for a caravan an awning plus your car.
The EHU bollards all had a light on the top and had a socket for the TV booster, so don't forget your cable.
The waste points were well lit, with plenty of bins and the areas were always clean.
The wardens were all friendly, helpful and hard working.
They were obviously proud of their site.
The steam trains ran within 50 yards or so of our van. If the kids waved, the driver sounded his whistle and waved back.
Absolutely brilliant!
There is a pub (The Brown Cow) just outside the gates and some super walks along the river within the country park.
Newspapers and some basic essentials are available on site , but there is a large 24 hour Tesco about a mile away.
All in all a great site.

We visited on a hot summer weekend. The site was very tidy and well maintained the toilet block and facilities were immaculate. There are some service pitches (which are not advertised). All pitches spacious.
The wardens are efficient. The adjoining park and canoeing centre were very busy and at times quite noisy. The pub at the entrance has a large beer garden which adjoins the caravan park, on the week-end we visited it was hosting a bouncy castle and obviously was very very busy and noisy. Inside the pub was welcoming and accepted well behaved dogs.
The steam train passes the site several times during the day but it is not obtrusive and I understand a halt beside the site is planned. There is a regular bus to Bury a short walk from the site (does not run Sundays). Lots of good dog walking off site.
The site is part of an old mill and has been nicely developed as an activity centre with both river and canal close by.

Just returned from a brilliant camp site. Cannot find one single fault with this site. The toilets and showers were spot on lots or hot water and very roomy. So much to see and do couldn't get it all in so we are going back. Credit to the wardens they work very hard.
Two pubs close to the site one being just at the entrance. Burry market is massive and well worth a visit. Children of all ages will love the steam trains as the track runs along the back of site.

Fantastic site (also went December 2007)
Friendly staff.
Well spaced pitches. Immaculate toilet block.
Nearby pubs,parks and walks. Bury town centre has alot to offer especially the market.
The steam trains running through the back of this site make it a firm favourite with the children ( which is why we returned in December to go on the highly popular Santa Express)
We will definitely be using this site again

What a fabulous site. All the facilities are very clean and modern. Spacious shower cubicles and powerful showers. The toddler bathroom was a real hit with our 2 boys - especially as it is decorated out with Thomas the Tank stickers! The railway runs along the back of the site and the trains run just often enough to be entertaining rather than a nuisance. The line is purely run for tourism purposes only. There is no play area on site, but there are 2 close nearby in the country park.
There is surprisingly a lot to do in the area. The Bury market is well worth a look around, and a ride on the train is a must. Manchester is only a short tram ride away. The country park is also worth a visit - lovely walks by the river and water sports if you are feeling adventurous. We will be returning again when Thomas the Tank and his friends will be visiting the railway.

Our dog's favourite site - plenty of interesting walks and a Pub that allows well behaved dogs in.
It's also one of our favourite sites. Only trouble is that the site is so good, you have trouble getting on it at week-ends, so no chance of a last minute get-away.

A fantastic site, well maintained, very good location, lots of walks. Spotless toilets, showers etc. Excellent wardens, good security.
Quite site in the evenings. Ensure you get a pitch near the back so you can watch the steam trains run by.
Highly recommended.
Enough said.

Visited this site this weekend, just for the day as was fully booked. Just wish we were able to stay for a week as we found it a very pleasing clean and friendly site. Plenty to do with very nice walks extremely Dog Friendly. With a nice country Pub at the entrance to the site.
Wardens were very obliging .
Will certainly try and book a longer stay.

Highly recommended site - very friendly wardens who were helpful and kept the place immaculate. The facilities were brand new and very clean - they even have a bathroom for under 5's so the kids can have a bath in the evening which ours loved.
We asked for a pitch backing on to the railway line and every 15 minutes or so in the daytime a lovely steam or diesel engine would chug by whistling its horn with all on board waving.
There is a great country park next door with lovely walks along the riverbanks and fishing and tadpoling available.
Right next door to the site is a pub with playarea for the kids although we thought the food was overpriced and poor quality.
Overall a great place to spend the weekend and we will definitely be returning.

A great site with a pub sited at the entrance serving reasonable food at fair prices. Excellent for dog walking, toilet blocks well kept not a lot to grumble about.
Only disappointment was steam trains only ran on Sunday, Diesel trains used on Saturday & during the week. Also the Wardens were insistent on saying the town centre was in easy walking distance of the site, in my opinion it wasn't - not with young children anyway!
Good fun watching the canoes in the mini rapids. I will return again & can recommend the site

Just had a great weekend break here. Don't be put off by the drive through the outskirts of a housing estate to access the site. What lies beyond is a great surprise! The site has been fully refurbished to CC high standards. Lots of spacious hard standings, and some grass pitches all with electric hook ups. Also a couple of 'super pitches' with own water and drainage. Fab new toilet and shower block.
The country park itself (owned and run by the local council) is very nice to explore and shows an imaginative use of industrial heritage land, with picnic areas, sculptures and trails. There is also a water activity centre - we saw groups doing kyaking. No play area on site but plenty of open space for children to wear themselves out. The trains coming past the site, both steam and diesel were great (East Lancashire Railway). We had a trip on the train using the CC vouchers to 'buy one get one free'. Would have loved to have had time to explore the 'Famous Bury Market'.
The Brown Cow pub at the site entrance was friendly and good value, with basic food using local produce. It also has a large beer garden with playground for the children, which would be ideal in the summer. Locally we found ASDA five minutes away for the food shopping.
Will we go again.yes.if only find time to explore that Market!

Brilliant - typical CC facilities on site so don't expect a rave but shower block top notch and spotless, mix of hard standing and grass pitches. Friendly Pub at entrance which had some very pleasant entertainment once volume was turned down. Another pub 5 mins walk if not keen on first pub. To top it all off 20 min walk in to Bury market (check which days its open) which kept adults and kids entertained for hours. Give it a go!

This is an lovely site. The facilities were quite basic, two toilets of which both were clean. There wasn't a shower block when we visited but I am sure the adventure centre attached to the site wouldn't mind their showers being used? As it was almost 12 months ago when we stayed the facilities may have been upgraded before it was added to this site. We stayed with a rally of the C & CC for a weekend. The guy who owns and runs the Burrs Centre was great with the kids. We had a day with all the youth canoeing, raft building and abseiling. The site is well worth a visit!
