Ik was blij met: Lovely one night stay. Basic facilities but it’s all we needed for one night. Clean toilets and shower.

Loved the animals and the field was safe and enclosed for our 2 year old to not escape.

Slide and an inflatable for the kids and we rented a fire pit for the night to toast some marshmallows.

Brilliant stay owner really friendly would stay again.

Ik was blij met: Ignore any horrible reviews! I have just come home after being there 2 nights. Arrived Friday tea time with my two daughters (25 and 16) and my grandson (5). Dave greeted us. We pitched our tent and he came over to have a chat, very nice, down to earth bloke. We got a fire pit with wood £20 which is what we normally pay at other sites. He even lit our fire for us! We had forgotten chairs and sat on towels. When we woke Saturday morning Dave had out 4 chairs outside our tent for us to use. We didn’t ask - he did this just to be thoughtful. And we appreciated it. There was a campfire on the Saturday night I don’t know if this is every week. Dave had a small inflatable, a slide, a trampoline and a blow up paddling pool in the field for the kids. These are old and very well used, but kids don’t care about that, good old fashioned, no frills, little apparatus to help keep little ones occupied. There were 3 small horses in our field which we loved - they were put away in the evening. We loved this. Friendly, no bother. The toilets and shower aren’t great but always had loo roll and we took them for what they were. Would we stay again - yes. Dave was lovely, and I haven’t had that service anywhere else and we’ve stayed in many fields. Also it’s literally minutes from Southport and an hours drive to Blackpool. Thank you Dave we have some lovely memories.

Ik was niet zo blij met: If I had to say something it would be the toilets and shower however we are talking about camping in a field so my opinion is “we had real toilets and a shower” which is better than none at all. If you want luxury/modern/new toilets/shower then stay at a holiday park.

Ik was blij met: It is located in a quiet area, away from the main road. The structure is very basic, but the owner is extremely friendly and helpful.
The bouncy castle and small pool with a slide for young children are a nice addition.
The large campfire in the evening was a very pleasant surprise.
10 min drive from Southport attractions.

Ik was niet zo blij met: There could be more walking paths in the area.

Ik was blij met: Brilliant landowner with lots of local facilities available
felt at ease at all times lovely animals free roaming in the day

Ik was niet zo blij met: Toilet and shower facilities do need updating but as long as your not expecting a hot tub you'll be fine
This hasn't put us off staying again and will return

Ik was blij met: Nice place to camp, pond near by and not far to go to visit the beaches during the day my kids enjoyed the weekend here.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Only thing I had problems was when it was bed time and quite times is ment to be after 11 trying to get our kids sleep while other camping think It was ok to blast must till 2 am and kids were still playing shouting gone past half 12 didn't get much sleep but it's not owners fault just wish other campers where a bit more consideration for others sleeping.

Ik was blij met: Good location with clean facilities

Ik was niet zo blij met: No bins onsite meaning we had to take rubbish home, not expected for the above average price for a basic site. Owner arguing with guests about pitches. Very packed in for pitches on a weekend.

Van de manager: We are a popular site and it was a very busy weekend
However THERE ARE AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN A FULL RANGE OF BINS ON SITE

There was argument with any campers they simply had an oversized tent which no non commercial site would accept
However we did find them a spot which they them selves selected

Ik was blij met: Was a nice scenic spot such a shame it’s ran so poorly and rudely.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Unfortunately we was really disappointed with Jacksmere camping and will not be returning. The owner was very rude and didn’t have an electric pitch (which we paid extra for) when we arrived so tried to tell us to pitch up in a really tight spot in front of the toilets with huge muddy puddles. We have 2 large tents so When I called him out on this he basically called me thick so we went as far as we could away from him. He never apologised about this and was trying to antagonise my dogs with his dog and then was really rude again when we was packing up. The facilities are very poor and it’s very dirty (we have camped for many years and haven’t experienced this before). We ended up just going out of the campsite for both nights stay spending money on eating out for breakfast and teas so we didn’t have to be there. It’s such a shame as it has huge potential but it made me extremely upset to be treated in such a way

Van de manager: The vast majority campers had a great time
But when people turn up with oversize tents and despite there being 4 spare slots - couldn’t not slot them in - it’s there fault

Nor am I ever rude to anybody which is evidenced by the hugs and fond waves I get when people depart

Ik was blij met: Quad bike, animals, safe for children to play due to cars parked away from tents

Ik was niet zo blij met: Would have liked more space between tents and less noisy campers
