Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: The site, toilets, showers and facilities were immaculate. The pitch was very level. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Dog walk was lovely, with plenty of bins. Short drive to the beach (which you can drive onto). Loved the wildlife.
Disliked: On some piches there was traffic noise from the busy road (not from the one we were on, number 38). Wifi was not free, it had to be paid for.

Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Everything about this site is excellent, welcome on arrival and escorted to our pitch with assistance to site our caravan. Lovely clean site and toilet blocks.
Disliked: The only downside and this is only my choice is that the pitches do not have fresh water or waste so not fully serviced pitches, but it is still a lovely site and I will be going back again.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: Staff were friendly and helpful. Toilets and showers clean. Site was kept tidy. Good space on pitch.
Disliked: Location. This site is right next to a busy dual carriageway, and is also right next door to, and on the flight path for the runway to the RAF base. I could have saved my money and parked next to the M6 and got the same amount of rest. Avoid if you are looking for relaxation and peace and quiet.

Liked: Friendly staff Really nice enclosed dog walking area. Clean toilet and shower facilities. Well maintained pitches. Great location - 10 mins from formby national trust.
Disliked: We didn’t like that if you wanted WiFi you had to pay for it, whereas it mentioned WiFi on the pitch up website - which I read it as you got WiFi included, this was my interpretation.
