Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Laid back site with amenities that are being refurbished, plenty of bins close to the pitch.
Walking distance to the Sparrowhawk Pub, which serves great food.
The numberplate recognition on entry makes things easy.
Walking distance to the bus stop for Southport and Liverpool.
Good communication and instructions before arrival & responsive to Whatsapp messages whilst on site.
Co op deliver to the site along with various take aways.
Disliked The toilets need more frequent cleaning on a Bank Holiday.
Clearer pitch numbers.
I don't agree with children being allowed to ride electric scooters on the site roads, they cannot be heard by pedestrians.

Be aware with no shop you have to drive a few miles
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Very clean site. All vans/caravans had lots of space around them. Spotless toilets and showers. Excellent wooden park . Staff very friendly
Disliked No shop just a small kiosk that sold hot food and milk but the milk was long life and not fresh. We thought wrongly from there website that there was a cafe and shop on the site. Lots of divets in the ground.

Great stay
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked We had a lovely stay at Willowbank. Site was very clean and pitches marked out well. Also to the staffmember who planned who parks where was very considerate as we were parked next yo the park which was great for our kids and for us to be able to watch our kids easily. Portable bathrooms were very clean.
Disliked Road noise was wuite loud, didn’t bither us as we are deep sleepers but you can hear it.
Maybe a mop in the bathroom would be good as I wanted to mop my shower after use ready for next person but couldn’t find a mop.
