Don't know about that,but we managed to book one night at the Hampton road site for this Friday.apparently it's the closest one to all the amusements, but will check out the front and see what it's like , then get back to you.

Got back from Blackpool last night, and it seems you can park on the front overnight for free, you have to pay parking meter charges between the hour of 8am and 10 pm ,we took a walk along the prom at about 9 in the morning and there were still motor homes there from the night before and there were no tickets on them. It certainly looks safe enough ,but I'd be a bit concerned about the noise until after midnight, with the trams rattling right by you on one side and the pavement on the other, suppose it's alright if you don't want to sleep till the early hours.

Personally I'd rather pay the £20 and go on sit

Hi Suzzie, would it not say on the meters or somewhere that overnight parking is not allowed? i didn't see any.

Hi Susan

I really do need to apologise to you. I rang up the council to check up on parking a camper van on the road (did not want anyone to end up with a fine).  They said as long as the camper van was park legal then it is ok to sleep in over night.  So again sorry for talking rubbish.

Martin Mere is a excellent site in Blackpool, It must be the easiest site to get to as it is right by exit 4 of the M55 motorway, blackpool Fun Fair is 5 minutes away, Blackpool town centre is 10 minutes away. Plenty on site with a large club, top entertainment on every night, indoor pool, kiddies park & rides, very clean showerblocks & toilets etc, Shops & Bakery, Chippy on site.

Great for Blackpool Lights.

Eddie.

Probably the easiest sites off the M55 are Peel Hill Farm, Pipers Heights and Gillet Farm which are much nicer and cheaper than Marton Mere.

Marton Mere dont except tents do they? Also we went there in a static and even had to have passes to go on the park

Marton Mere is the worst site we`ve ever been on.noisy, dirty , full of p****d up teenage hoodies.

would never go back , EVER !
