What customers say
Great spot near Southport with a friendly owner. Kids loved the animals and quad bikes. Facilities are basic, though a bit dated. Watch out for uneven pitches and noise. Owner's helpful.

Overcrowded
Hard to find entrance

From the manager: 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
Wouldn't return to that site.

Liked That the sun was shining.
Disliked 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.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: We don’t know , unless told , if the booking is come via website which deducts their commission Or Not
As for rude - well that’s the first I have been called that. Read other reviews about me
Avoid at all costs.

Liked Location was pretty decent, only ten minutes from town.
Disliked Paid for electric hookup, got a 3 plug in the toilet block miles away. Other van got no electric. Owner tried to charge us more than advertised pitchup price.
Only two tiny bins on site, so instead owner had a rubbish pile he was going to burn. This was right next to our van so we had to move to avoid black smoke and fire.
Toilets were awful, pee on the floor, only one shower, floor was rotten. When you flushed one toilet water came up form the floor.
Washing facilities were awful. Dirty.
Chickens and ponies roamed free, as did the farm dog, so you better like animals eating your food.

From the manager: Booked for tents But turned up with large vans - which we don’t cater for
How ever we felt sorry and fitted them in
Expected to pay same as tents
No. Extra is due but didn’t pay
Rubbish was actually Bonfire for all campers and was collection of pallets
Toilets maybe old but are super clean

Loved the free range chickens. The working dog BooBoo. The ponies.
Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked The secure field. Picking where to pitch. The owner very friendly.
Disliked The shower/loo block. Needs modernising and a shower that is consistent.

A basic site which offered reasonable value for money.
Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Friendly host who actively managed the site. Some shade provided by perimeter trees and wildlife -friendly hedges. The toilets were clean. The site was quiet with most people settled down by 10 pm.
Disliked The toilet block needed an upgrade, but, as above, was clean.

Liked The grass was clean that’s about all we can say that’s good
The location is good about 15 mins from Southport
Disliked Toilets were a falling down building that stunk of urine with no hot water
Grass is really uneven , we don’t expect football pitch perfect but this was really really bumpy
Electricity box are behind really long grass that has stinging thistle in so you will sting your hands and legs
Child that lives on the farm will not leave you alone wants food off the bbq runs in and out of the tent even after being told not too
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: This site is advertised as a wild camping plus site
Yet odd balls , come expecting in town amenities
Toilets and showers are perhaps the cleanest on any campsite Cleaned three time a day
And finally kids will be kids and most parents are delighted to have our little Zac come and play with their kids and keep their kids occupied
Guess some people are never happy !
Will defo be back.
