Powered concrete and grass caravan site
Liked: Well maintained site, facilities were good and clean. Great transport into Southport. Very reasonably priced.
Disliked: No shop on site for the basics. Requested hard standing and grass pitch, ended up on a grass pitch next to the football pitch. Wasn’t the prettiest area on the site.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site
Liked: Really friendly and helpful wardens. Flat pitch with excellent facilities. Very dog friendly. Lots of walking and cycling paths in the area, close to the beaches.
Disliked: The main roads outside the site can be very noisy, particularly at the weekend when the local yoof turn it into a drag strip & Merseyside Police join in with their disco lights! As it's so dog friendly, there are a LOT of dogs, so if you don't like dogs, or your dog is nervous around them, it may not be ideal, however all the dogs we saw were very well behaved.
