A fantastic caravan club site on the edge of the Burrs Country Park at Bury. Friendly wardens keep the site and shower block immaculate. There are many walks straight from the site, we went for 10 days and didn't move our car once!
A 15 minute walk gets you to Bury town centre, with its super world famous market, excellent shopping centres (The Rock and Millgate) as well as art gallery and museums. We went on the East Lancashire Railway, the station is in central Bury, and the steam trains travel alongside the caravan site. Great for enthusiasts! You can buy an all-line ticket so you can get on and off the train at different stations along the route as many times as you like. If you're caravan club members remember to take a Great Days Out voucher and your membership card, so you get 2 tickets for the price of 1.
We also made use of our bus passes to explore the surrounding area, the bus stop being just a 5 minute walk from the site. A bus or tram from Bury soon gets you to Manchester with all its attractions. We would recommend the Industry and Science Museum, and the People's History museum, both free entry and perfect for a rainy day! Give yourself plenty of time to get round them as the Science museum in particular is huge.
There is no playground on the actual site but a very good one on Woodhill Road, again only 5 minutes from the site. The Brown Cow pub situated next to the site seemed to be popular but we didn't go there so cannot comment on that. We can however, recommend the fish and chip shop on Brandlesholme Road! This was our second visit to this site and will not be our last.

Visited this site over the new year. We arrived on a wet and windy Sunday. Beware the cobbled entrance quite a bumpy ride that shook us to the bones - best take it as slow as possible. Pitches are large and we had hard standing as the grass was very boggy due to the weather. The electrics kept blowing and the warden was really helpful, they had only arrived a day or two before but were in full swing already.
The site itself is in a lovely location close to the town centre and the steam train passing by makes it really picturesque. Facilities are great warm and spacious showers await after a cold and wet walk - lovely. The pub at the entrance of the pub sells good food and real ale but prices are higher than usual - a captive market.
All in all despite the weather, the electrics and a mountain of issues with our van we had a lovely time & will be visiting again when it gets warmer!

Have just returned from a weekend break at Burrs Country Park Caravan Club Site. It was our first time on a Club site. You can't fault this site, the pitches are a good size, toilets and showers immaculate and the East Lancashire Steam Railway runs right next to the site which is lovely. The wardens were very friendly and helpful.
We had a nice weekend. However my only personal negative is that I did find the way the pitches are laid out a bit 'car park' ish. Not much character, clean and tidy but without personality ! This is only my personal opinion and I do still highly recommend the site if you are visiting the Bury area.
Only a 20 minute walk into Bury where you can catch the tram straight into Manchester. Tried the Brown Cow Pub at the entrance to the site for lunch and it was very nice and close and handy for the site.

This is a lovely site within reach of Bury town centre. The site was excellently kept & the wardens obviously spend a lot of time on keeping it looking great.
The toilet block is very modern & was clean at all times. The showers are some of the best I have seen on any site.
Burrs country park is on the doorstep with some lovely walks & plenty of activities.
The site is an easy walk from the Tram station which goes straight into Manchester.

Beautiful site. Lovely staff. Clean / modern toilet/shower block. Ideal for a quiet break with plenty of walking straight from your van. Overlooking Burrs Country Park.
A steam train passes the site a few times a day which is such a treat. People from the train are waving - take your camera. We loved it so much we booked again and stayed for the weekend two weeks later.
The pub just off site is OK, lots of locals in my opinion in the room to the left as you go in (avoid), but the other room is great. We sat outside though in the garden. Can't comment on food, but menu looks great and there were lots of people eating.
Bury town centre was fantastic. Shopping centre great most of which is in a very large precinct. Market is the best I've ever been to. All I can say is enjoy and I'm sure you will!

First trip out in our new to us caravan. Burrs is a fabulous site that is very clean and tidy. The site is ideal for dog lovers and adventure people alike, the country park is a really good facility. The Brown Cow pub is just 2 mins walk with real ale, reasonable food and loads of outside tables with an 'assault course' for kids
The town centre of Bury is only 5 min drive away, with all the usual shops, supermarkets etc.
The wardens were very helpful and receptive.
I would recommend this site to all caravanners.
