Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Very clean. All staff were lovely

It just needs supervision because some people will take advantage
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Facilities were very good
Disliked There was a lack of supervision. No patrols of the site were evident as as a consequence rules were broken
There were fire pits everywhere, ery loud music, children running round playing football and using sparklers when the grass was very dry.
All this was happening after 2am.
I was just concerned as all the tents were very close and it only takes a flying ember to ignite one of the tents.
There was no evidence of fire extinguishers etc. Overall everyone's safety must come first

Overall good, some toilets where the tents pitch would make it great.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked The site was clean, and well maintained, although I did see some dog poop, however this is not the fault of the site but the people who don’t clean up after their pets! And it was cleared up quite quickly.
All the people working there were all polite and helpful, the shop had all the basic necessities, and the lady really lovely.
The location was great, with easy access to both Ormskirk and Southport, a lovely walk along the canal to a pub,
The clubhouse was clean, and the
breakfast was very good,
Good size pitches, mostly level.
Over all a good site.
Disliked The toilets were far away from the pitches, The female toilets were a little more secluded with a few bushed around the entrance, making it a bit unnerving of a night to go alone.
There was only one tap of water for the camping field, serving a full campsite.
I found it a little expensive too at £25 per night, for a pitch with no hook up. While I was meeting up with friends there, I was pitching on my own.

Great place for a short stay Level pitches
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked The lay out of the field and the amenities the R Bar was very good and the entertainment was brilliant.
Straight on the canal for long walks.
Close to Southport and shops
Disliked Disliked the rules not being enforced music and loud talking was on going on well past 3am!
Also you should give campers tags to tie to guide ropes so you know they have paid.

Great location. Site was too noisy and crowded and facilities poor
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Good price, children's playground on site, good location to local activities
Disliked Very noisy and not policed, asked to sign to comply by the rules to turn music off and be quiet by 11.30 but this was not followed. On one night a group were blasting music and chatting until 5am.
Facilities are a good walk away and there was no hot water for showers or to wash dishes.
On a small field and perhaps too many tent pitches, it felt crowded.
