What customers say
A great family spot with ample camping and kids' play area. Staff are super friendly. Pub's a hit. Facilities are clean but a bit old-fashioned. Some mention noise and relaxed rule enforcement.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Lovely site, friendly staff and level pitches, great for kids.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked The park is brilliant for the kids and it is positioned right next to the camping field which was great. The camp has all the regular facilities you would expect for camping. Multiple taps positioned around the field for easy access. The site staff are fab. The little shop has essentials in there. The food served in the pub is lovely and they have karaoke and a kids disco on the weekend. Everyone there was absolutely lovely. This is my second time visiting and we loved it, had a brilliant time again. My kids are only 4 years old and they loved it. My signal was really bad but the the main bar area has wifi.
Disliked The toilets and showers are a bit outdated and needed a bit of clean but nothing major. I'm on O2 and I had zero signal which was a pain.

Great location - very basic. Staff were lovely
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Pitches were a nice size and clearly marked.
It was safe for the children to roam freely.
Staff were lovely.
Bar food was reasonably priced - but rather loud at Friday night karaoke!
Disliked Toilets and washing facilities too far away and not kept very clean - a bit dated - could do with a makeover.
Nowhere for the children to play ball games.
No phone signal which wasn’t a major issue but the pub wifi wasn’t great either when I needed to be online

It just needs supervision because some people will take advantage
Non-electric grass tent pitch
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.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
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.
