We stayed at this campsite at the weekend on a traditional tent pitch for two nights (one adult, two children). The site is flat with areas of trees on the tent area so you can choose whether or not to pitch under them. Everywhere on the site including the toilets, potwash, showers, swimming baths were clean. Everyone seemed to be respectful and it was certainly not noisy after around 9pm. Drinks are reasonably priced in the bar areas. About a 15 minute drive to Southport.
Would definitely return to this campsite.

I stayed here on Saturday for 1 night with my fiancé,
I paid £18. 50 online for a grass pitch for a tent. It's possibly the most expensive pitch I've ever paid for in my life. I was told by the reception lady it's an extra £10 for electricity tent pitch. But the only thing we needed electric for was to inflate the giant air mattress we brought and the lady offered to let us plug in at the reception :) The weather was fantastic and we booked the pool a day in advance (as advised) You get 45mins in the pool but you do need to book the time in advance. The pool was ok and the spa was nice. BBQs are permitted and the on site shop is very good and not bad prices. There were 2 bouncy castles inflated that looked really fun, Friendly staff all round. In the evening we head over to the family bar where the entertainment was good, (2 men singing and playing guitar, a wide range of different types of music). The queue at the bar was a mile long and I remember looking at the only bar person and admiring her hard work because as she was the only bar staff and to be faced with a huge function room full of thirsty people. Well I couldn't have done it, one of the entertainment men helped hear and there, obviously he had his own job roll to do, but she was on her own 80% of the time and what an amazing job she did. The security worked so hard and was so helpful and friendly. The toilets are basic with no electric points but clean and tidy. Southport beach is about a 15 min drive, ainsdale (the nicer beach) is 30mins away, the site is friendly and so were the other holiday makers. No noise really, everyone respected each other. I think the site would benefit from a gate on the main entrance for keep children safe and security over all. Loved it and will be coming back, hopefully with a cheaper camping deal

This was my girlfriends first camping trip in about 20 years so I needed somewhere 'comfortable'
The showers, toilets and whole site. Exceptionally clean for a campsite. My girlfriend can be fussy when it comes to public loo's and even she coped.
The staff are all friendly and willing to help. We had a young group turn up next to us and the wardens regular patrols kept a can on most of their noise. (the wardens have a mobile if you have anything urgent)
The site has a shop, bar, arcade and pool (which is free). Southport is approximately 4 miles away and well worth a visit for the day. All in all I would recommend this place, it's well priced, well located and the staff listen if you need anything
Thank you, we will be back

We (wife son aged 9, and me) stayed here over the early may bank hol, and we were glad we did !
Good points. (there isnt enough room to list them all)
At least 2 play parks for the kids, free swiming pool sauna hot tub steam room. (you have to book numbers/room is limited). Good sized arcade, good sized shop and very well priced cafe all close to one another ( there is two/three bars but we didn't go to these )
Pitch size was more than ample ( we had a service pitch with water hook up, NO GREY MAINS so take your waste water container with you) our unit is 26ft and my mistake was to pitch then try to connect the water up ! next time I will connect water and move unit so it reaches the tap is at the rear of pitch!
This is a very well run large site that our son loved and was kept entertained all weekend, there is plenty of space for all to pitch and even though is was bank hol there was still a few pitches vacant but even if these was full I am sure the site would not feel crowded, there is plenty of space for everyone.
We went to southport for the afternoon and the wife loved the range of shops that was there to be acquainted, plus (i feel) a smallish arcade and a pier. We could see blackpool from the pier at southport.
Bad points.
The site is clean and well kept however I feel in 2-3 years time this site could feel outdated and not modern at all. Could do with extending the range of wifi (even if it occurs a charge)
Would we return here again, YES definitely. There are far too many good points for US as a family and our needs. Cheapish to pitch, close enough home 1hr20min, southport is small enough not to spend a fortune with the kids, but blackpool is not far up the coast if we want more action.
Keep up the great work (just keep one eye out on the decore if over looked you'll soon be left behind by the competition.

We stayed here for 3 nights and took advantage of the Sun Newspaper offer so it only cost us £15 for the 3 nights with electric! For the price we paid we cannot complain. The site is a bit weathered and could do with a lick of paint in certain areas. The shower / toilet blocks were ok but could do with being cleaned a little more. Outside the shower blocks there were fag ends and it needed a good sweeping. I had spotted a dirty nappy on the grass verge on our first day and it was still there on our last day so cleaning needs to be improved!
The ehu pitches are on top of eachother whereas the non ehu pitches have a lovely big field with trees, which looked much better.
There is a nice cafe and shop on site and a small amusement arcade. The number 47 bus stops right outside the site which takes you to southport or onwards to Liverpool. Day Saver is £4. 60.
Overall the site was ok I have stayed at better sites but for the money we paid it was ok. I have read reviews saying that weekends are noisy so with that in mind I would only stay in the week.
The staff were friendly.
