Positiv Good location, very rural but shops a 3min drive away. 5mins into Southport. Flat ground with a decent tree line. Horses and ducks, trampolines for the kids. Dark skies, bats come out at dusk.

Negativ Several large groups who didn’t obey the curfew. May have just been on this occasion but site isn’t big enough to camp away from them. No reception area, just the owner who comes around in the morning to collect his dues. Toilets and kitchen area are dirty. No care given to site, not well maintained.

Positiv Although very dated, toilets were clean.

Negativ Dont hope for any thing here and you wont be disappointed. Price was twice what you would expect (plus he tried to get more out of us) for what is essentially an uneven pony field of more weeds than grass plus the pony muck. I think they lean on the lack of options in the area that you dont have a choice but to stay with them. Owner liked to do his rounds and lingers to long for a chat, also let his dog put its face into the food on the table. Read between the lines of the advertisement, this was not a family fun farm and look at the photos of bouncy castle and above ground pool. This is more like a travellers site than a camp site.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Yes. Was lingering
Booked for 5 and there were 14 by night fall
Giant trampolines weee replaced the pool and bouncy castle due to vandalism by ferrel kids

Not posh but happy site, as always, with 50% repeats every weekend

Positiv The location

Negativ V rough and ready campsite - stepped out the car right indogs muck.

Ponies on site in a very small space. A note on saying "not usually in this small space all dsy", fair enough but still full of horse muck.

Owner burnt maybe 15 mattress and wood stacked on the field while campers on site.

Has the potential to be a fantastic site - clearly too much for the owner,

For the rough camper.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Toilets cleaned three times a day and are super clean See other reviews
Yes they are old but they don’t have to be new. This is a campsite with male female toilets and showers with hot water
BUT WITH POSH GOLFERS - nothing would be up to their 5 star standards
We were full and more for the weekend and only a small handful of complaints

Positiv That the sun was shining.

Negativ Camp owner tried to charge us more and stated it was card payment only which we were made unaware of. Found him to be quite rude. Facilities very basic and camp very crowded.
