About the site


Enjoy a relaxing family stay near the Sefton coast, just five minutes from the sandy shores of Ainsdale Beach. You'll be well placed for exploring the seaside town of Southport, less than a ten minute drive away. Ideal for outdoor adventurers, the surrounding area is packed with hiking and cycling routes, including those around the popular National Trust site at Formby, just 15 minutes away. There is a range of spacious, well kept, level pitches onsite for campervans, motorhomes and caravans, each with a 10 amp electric hook up. Opt for one of the grass 4.6m x 6.7m pitches, the grass and hardstanding pitches measuring 4.6m x 9m, or a 4.6m x 7.6m gravel and hardstanding pitch. Please note that the A565 is nearby, so there may be some road noise on these pitches. Holiday homes and seasonal pitches are available here too. Back at the site, children can burn off some energy in the play area or kick a ball around on the football pitch. There's also a coffee truck serving bean-to-cup coffee, pizzas, burgers and tasty treats from Tuesday to Sunday, with picnic benches and a hammock dotted around the site for relaxing. Don't forget to visit the local pub, a short ten minute stroll away, where you can enjoy a range of hearty pub grub and refreshing drinks. For a day out, the buzzing port city of Liverpool is just a 25 minute drive away, offering iconic attractions, maritime history and popular sports stadiums to explore. A handy bus service is also just a five minute walk away, making it easy to connect into the city. Evenings can be spent cooking up a tasty BBQ, as long as it is raised from the ground. Sorry, campfires are not permitted here. Up to two dogs are welcome per pitch, with a woodland walk for stretching their paws!

Open from 14 February to 30 January.
