Jacksmere Camping

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

Niepolubione: 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

Polubione: 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.

Niepolubione: 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.

Polubione: Good location with clean facilities

Niepolubione: 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.

Od administratora: 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

Polubione: Was a nice scenic spot such a shame it’s ran so poorly and rudely.

Niepolubione: 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

Od administratora: 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

Polubione: Quad bike, animals, safe for children to play due to cars parked away from tents

Niepolubione: Would have liked more space between tents and less noisy campers

Polubione: Nothing at all.
We had booked for 2 nights and packed up and left at 07.30 after just 1 night.!

We liked the 'traveller's' feel about this site !
We liked the 'attitude' of the owner !
We liked the 'authentic' mud pit outside the toilets !
We liked the 'game' of step over the water with the electric cable in it on the way to the toilets !
We liked the 'jovial' comment from the owner that people on this site are to drunk to walk to cars never mind drive them !
We liked the 'fire regulation' 1 . 5 meter distance between most tents as they were that crammed in (and most had fire pits going) !
We liked the 'surprise' that you can't park next to your tent although there is no mention of this on Pitchup !
We liked the 'signage' that then stated the owner is not responsible for theft of any cars or valuables.
We liked the 'verbal abuse' that my fiancee got when she walked the dog on the dog field across the road that we were told we could use !
We liked that the 'camping' field was actually a donkey field !
We liked 'conqurin' with most other reviews that this site is terrible.
We liked the 'bargain' of a price which was MORE than we have paid on loads of other Pitchup sites with a real camping feel, charm, cleanliness, pleasant owners and well kept pitches.
We will like the 'feedback' that this owner will no doubt leave to this as he doesn't seem to like having the truth pointed out in these reviews.
And we loved leaving.

Niepolubione: See above !!!!

Od administratora: There always one !

Polubione: Not a lot to like really

Niepolubione: Everything. Toilets were just a shanty building. owner was rude. Dirty toilets 1 shower in each toilet that didn't work all the time. No hot water was only luke warm. Different prices for everyone. It appeared as though he made it up as he went along. Didn't take card. Even refused to give me any change.
Extra charges for everything. Pool for kids was just an inflatable paddling pool. Never saw bouncy castle go up.

Od administratora: 1) Bouncy castle in middle of storm !
Safety and common sense dictates NO

2) Toilets are sparkling clean and tidy. It’s what we are allowed

3) Am not rude - people love me and hug me before they leave

4) Hot water - simply turn speed down. dah

5) Prices are based on electric or non

6) Dont like change so don’t even ask for it Hence under charge

Problem is essentially the author itself

Polubione: Secure gated site with cars parked away from tents so children can play safely.
Owner laid back but present and good with children, taking them on the quad bike, letting them feed the animals and supplying equipment for them to play on.
Obviously, not 5 star equipment as it's not a 5 star site, but still fun to those of us grateful for the opportunity.
10 minute drive to Southport and even less to retail parks, McDonald's, Tesco and loads more convenient stores.
A basic, but pleasant site. More suitable for the down to Earth camper, rather than the home comfort ones.
It is easy enough to find, if you do your research and read the information texts from the owner.

Niepolubione: Just a few things.
As mentioned, it's a very basic site, with basic toilets to match, but the shower was nice and hot.
Secondly, my family didn't sleep due to the noise from other campers, some till the very early hours of the morning, despite the 11pm rule. Understandably, people are on holiday and having a good time, but it would have been nice if someone could have had a friendly word.
And lastly, to no fault of the campsite, the lazy campers who just dumped their crap near the bins, letting it spill every where. Have some respect!

Polubione: Great location for shops but out the way enough. Friendly owner. Toilets. Showers.

Polubione: I can’t say there was much we liked about this site.

However it has toilets wash facilities so does have the essentials for camping

Niepolubione: Not happy that we were given instructions to pitch up in one area. Then once everything was set up was told the can couldn’t go on that pitch. Moved to the edge of a cow shed. Which was off putting and smelly.

Eventually moved again to a more suitable area but without ehu.

Wash area and toilets basic

The pool my daughter wouldn’t go in because it looked filthy.

Od administratora: We advise people to check in first to get allocated to appropriate pitch so that they don’t get moved
This didn’t happen
But in this case it was a seriously oversized tent that would not be allowed on residential campsites Yet we managed to fit them in

It’s impossible to keep pool clean with kids running across grass and jumping in
We don’t claim to. a posh site but Most normal people give me a wave or even a hug before leaving as they have had a great time and kids drag them back again and again
But ok with the 8/10
