hi, went there a couple of years ago,clean and tidy,warden friendly.Only prob you're near a very busy junction and i think theres a police station nearby as quite often you could hear sirens even through night.
Close to Southport and Formby though.But you do need you're car to get anywhere.I think i remember a small row of shops though and maybe a takeaway.
thanks , no idea how i failed to find the many reviews !!! not too fussed about road noise , we are at a birthday bash in formby on the saturday and getting a lift there and taxi back late on.
its just a base to sleep really . would have gone on a cl but all miles out from where we need to be and the club site at southport is fully booked
Don't forget to leave a review of the campsites you have visited this year or last!
From what I can gather the site at Fromby Point has a dragon for a Warden (may have changed), Somebody got told off because their child was playing in the sand - the damn thing is on the beach near enough.
Yes Willowbank is near a busy junction - but both Formby and Southport are 10 minutes down the road.
Willowbank is one of our favourite places to stay, we were there about a month ago. The site is very well run and clean, the shower blocks are spotless and the wardens are knowledgeable and friendly. Even when busy there never seems to be a queue for showers. As mentioned above, there's not much in the immediate area but Southport, Ainsdale, Formby and a couple of supermarkets are a short ride away. If you go to Southport follow the coast road and use the Park & Ride (£1 per day except Bank Holidays). The Merseyside Police helicopter is based at the next-door airfield but it's never really troubled us. There's a small kids playground and a large playing field for them as well.
AAAAAHHHHHHRRRRRRRGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!! Park & Ride £1.50, I'll never go again!
Seriously, I forgot they were about to increase the price, it's still a bargain though. For comparison, our local town charges £2.40 for 3 hours parking and there's b***** all to look at.
I was going to say that the park and ride was now £1.50, but copog beat me to it. Still not bad as you can park there all day, and there is a frequent bus service into Southport included. It is about the cheapest place to park if you are in Southport any length of time.
