What customers say
Willowbank is highly recommended, well-kept with spotless facilities and great staff. Guests loved the peace, big pitches, and easy access to beaches & Southport. Minor road noise and temporary facilities were noted during refurb, but most want to return!

Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked No-nonsense approach of staff. Good facilities, albeit temporary whilst the permanent toilets, showers etc are being renovated. The food van. Proximity to the pub. The quietness at night. The dog walk.
Disliked Distance from the beach.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Really peaceful site, great play areas for the kids, coffee/cafe cart really convenient. Great location for beaches will definitely revisit! Facilities were great and really clean and looked after and this was even with the main toilets/showers not being available due to refurb. It’s a really lovely site we enjoyed our stay very much :)
Disliked Road noise from nearby main road overnight. Sleeping in the camper poptop could be heard through the night. In the main vehicle couldn’t be heard. I think this was mainly due to our pitch position but it wouldn’t stop me from visiting again but I would request a pitch away from the road side.

Excellent Would return Level pitches
Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked The scenery is lovely, and there’s a great on-site cafe and food van. The pitch and standing are also great, and the WiFi is fast and reliable.
Disliked The temporary shower block was serviceable but not the best. The tree above pitch 20 could do with a trim, as it scrapes the top of the motorhome.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Lovely stay at Willowbank. Easy check in with the help of pre-arrival information, which was WhatsApped to me a day or two before. Very clean and tidy site. Showers also very clean. Nice atmosphere on park.
Woykd definitely recommend if you want a chilled out time. We walked to the beach and town, bit of a stroll with a short legged dauschund! No activities on site,, a little coffee hut which looked really cool.
Disliked The dried moss in the grass got everywhere!

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked This is a brilliant little site. The size is perfect, our pitch location was fantastic, right by the park and football pitch for our football obsessed children! The toilets and showers were fantastic and finally the staff were really helpful. This was my first time touring and I was a little nervous, the staff were on hand and made me feel relaxed.
Disliked WiFi wasn’t the best at one point on our tv but it was during the evening which I imagine was probably the busiest user time.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked the area was clean and tidy, staff polite and friendly. It was good with the number plate recognition for entry and departure. The food cafe was good, excellent bacon rolls with coffee all served with a smile and welcome chat. The dog walking area was well kept and i enjoyed the walk on more than one occasion during our stay. Close proximity to a fantastic pub, Sparrow Hawk we had a great meal.
Disliked closing time of the cafe 3pm.
