 Visited the site for our annual stay for the fifth year running.
The location is fantastic, . Various routes through the dunes to the beach, the easiest route is through the wooden gate and across Lifeboat road car park, and to the wooden walkway to the the old lifeboat station.
The site is quaint, dated but well maintained. Toilet/shower block is okay. Tourers can either pitch under the trees on grass or hard standing at the end of the site. Lots of static caravans.
Site is very quiet and peaceful. Staff are friendly and helpful.
Formby is a lovely village, lots of shops, restaurants and supermarkets.
Crosby beach and Antony Gormleys ANOTHER PLACE is a must and free parking too. Depending on the tides you can see lots of the Standing men.
Southport is also a short drive away and a good day out.
Will return once again.

Just had 2 nights at this campsite with a small motorhome. The campsite itself is ideally located, very close to the excellent Formby Point Beach and local entire reserve. As others have said the site itself is somewhat dated, soakaway for grey water and the shower block shows its age somewhat. However the staff are friendly and helpful and the whole site is very clean especially the shower block. The static caravan area us obviously well loved by the residents, lots of flowers and plants. It is also quiet, perhaps not a great deal to do for young children but the beach is not far. The shower block is accessed through a key provided with a deposit. Seems somewhat odd but I presume done as a response to unauthorised access at times. My only gripe would be there are no recycling facilities and for me in this age there probably should be.

Just back again from a short break at Formby point. Really enjoyed the time we spent there. Toilet and showers are a bit old fashioned but work well and are clean. The lady on reception is lovely, warm and helpful, your made to feel welcome straight away. Great walk into Formby and lovely beach. Quiet site but just what we wanted. We will be back.

We used this site as a one night stopover before boarding Belfast ferry the next morning. As such the location was ideal for our needs. The site is rather old and tired, and facilities minimal, but we picked a lovely pitch under the trees and were able to make a swift exit to continue our journey. Staff very friendly and OK to just let us get on with it really. No on-line booking or email, no deposit required. Phone and book, pay cash on arrival, no nonsense. Good value.

Having pre booked our pitch and after a gruelling 300 mile drive we arrived at the campsite just before 6. 30pm only to find ourselves in a catch #22 situation. We couldn't get past the barrier until we purchased a pass card from the other side of the barrier. For a while we were stuck and unable to let other vehicles past us as the road was too narrow; even with the pull in; okay for cars but not wide campervans.
During a downpour we eventually gained access and were given a pitch with EHU between two toilet areas; one for humans and one for dogs; everyone on site seemed to walk their dogs past us. They did pick up after the dogs but then placed the bagged contents in a bin just a few yards away.
The sign outside the campsite was far from welcoming; just the name and a list of prohibitions. We then struggled to identify the office as there were no signs; nor were there any signs for the exit.
The human toilet/shower block was a disgrace. In one toilet cubicle something was smeared on the wall for the duration of our stay. The toilet paper dispenser was situated behind your back. There were no bolts on the toilet doors just rusty locks. One cubicle was out of order for the whole of our stay. There were no facilities for the disabled and no where to hang clothes as all the hooks were broken.
The showers were old fashioned coin operated ones. Like the toilets most of the doors were damaged in some way and again had rusty locks. Inside the shower cubicles there was no dry area so if you dried a foot and put your sock on you then had to stand on a wet floor or hop. The water was hot, but sometimes went cold. In one of the shower cubicles I got trapped inside when the door stuck solid. Luckily I was strong enough to wrench it open. Running through al the shower cubicles was an open drainage channel with standing foul water. The end of our stay was a blessing when we finally escaped.

Great site and I will be back.
Greeted by friendly people who helped but didn't intrude. We felt we could of asked for any help if required.
Could do with a few more signs but not a big deal, just ask someone.
My only couldn't find was the elsan. Its next to the toilet block behind a gate.
The key thing is odd. One to get in I suppose but when we came to the toilets some one had left it open anyway as it isn't self locking. Once you see it you will think its mad overkill but I do understand how it may of come about as a solution to a problem without taking all the locks out to replace with latches. They I presume kept the locks as they work.
The dunes. It is a good walk and when I set off I didn't think much of them until I hit the top and then they are spectacular. Its like being in a desert. They are amazing, the beach is huge and equally a beautiful place. I did see some rubbish and it did anger me, why do people do that.
The walk to the dunes through the brush area, you can take any route you wish and I'd recommend it. There is lots of dog poop on the walked routes and poo bags thrown into the bushes. People who do that really pi$$ me off.
I'll visit this site again as the access to the dunes and beach is to die for.
If you feel the walk will be difficult walk through the site and use the road, a lot flatter and a bit shorter. The wood land looked great but we didn't venture here, maybe one of the reasons I didn't see a red squirrel.
Formby roads are mostly 20mph and so a great relaxing drive around.
There are plenty of shops to get your bits.
Out of site turn right and go left at the end, follow the road and in this route is the train station, further is a pub and on the little rb is a shop, go left and you hit a shopping centre with pubs, shops, supermarket etc.
If after coming right from site you go straight at the bend there is a chippy. Left from site is car parking for beach.
Southport is a short car ride, 20min.
The site is very clean, well maintained and Yes, its an older site that has remained successful by doing everything right, its quiet and has everything required for a perfect break.
Teenagers will give the omg I have no WiFi or phone signal what am I going to do. Force them to take a walk through the dunes. I may not get it at first but by the end they will of rolled down the dunes, returned to the child like state of playing soldiers in the dunes, made sand castles, it will be like having you kids back again, away from modern life of viewing a phone screen.
There are no play areas for kids but plenty of room for polite children and huge dunes.
No mobile phone signal at least for EE and intermittent on 3. We were right at the back of the site and lost signal half way in.
Great TV signal
Great choice of pitches, in standard rows both side of a road on hard standing. Tap on right in the middle at back.
Waste water behind each pitch. Pain to lift up your waste water on to the pipe. Don't bother, just pour next to it as that is where the pipe puts it, on the soak away area.
Under pine trees just before rows looks nice though you will have more passing people and cars.
You will get lost in the site at least once :) as it's quite winding and huge. At night can be a tad dark so a torch needed (there is road lighting)
£2 returnable deposit needed for toilet key
£20 returnable deposit needed for main entrance gate key (its closed around tea time)
Cards are not taken so remember cash.
Wonderful site I thoroughly recommend. I can't wait for my next trip.
My only complaint, isn't the site. It was a caravanner two away from us. Plugged into two electric outlets. Although there are signs to tell you to keep your dogs on leads left there's off, had two cars and two other visit them plus there awning up plus left the kids (14 & 16) play up and down.
Was it a massive deal, no as they didn't make any noise but this site is great as they trust you.
These dingbats are the type that will ruin it for all. The dog also pooped behind our caravan plus ran at our dogs when we walked by, quite scary and actual went for ours. We got the 'oh he's only playing'. Put it on a lead was our reply.
So my point, please site owners, don't legislate for dingbats by restricting us abiding people, please take a walk and warn people like these if seen. Your site is amazing and these idiots will drive us gooduns away.
I have to finish with saying this is one of the Best I have used, really ranks high. If it changed to try an modernise it would lose its charm. Plus would pass £20 per night. Pass that and I'd give it a miss.
Book today :)

Amazing site to stay
Great touring pitches with plenty of room and near to beach
The site is predominantly statics but routers are well catered for. Shops and pub about a mile+ as is the village and station but there is a regular bus from the end of the road
The washrooms are clean and more than adequate. |The site owner Margaret is a gem and can tell you all there is to know about the local area.
You have the best of all Worlds. A beach second to none, dunes to walk in and forest and open trails to die for. Add to that the red squirrels, local village (Formby) and bus and rail links.
Thank you for a brilliant stay. We will see you again and again.

Upon arrival we really liked the look of this site. The reception was easy to find and staff really helpful.
The location of the site is idea if you have dogs and want to get on to the beach. Just a short walk through the sand dunes which are right next to the site, nice clean beach and not busy at all.
The facilities at the site were clean and and tidy.
Good size pitchs with bins and water close to all pitchs.
Thirty minute walk in to formby where we found a few shops.
All in all we really liked this site and will return.

Wish all sites were as friendly as this one. Spent a very relaxing quiet few days here, the only noise was of the birds singing. The location is fantastic close to the beach, just a few minutes walk over the dunes or through the pine woods. We were lucky enough to see a red squirrel family playing in the tree tops.
Enjoyed the lack of signs, much better than having too many. We were greeted in a friendly way and directions to the pitch was enough. The pitches were flat with plenty of space in between with views of the dunes or pine woods.
Lovely site.

Greeted on arrival, were able to choose the pitch that suited us best. The touring area is behind the static vans in a lovely quiet secluded spot next to the sand dunes. The bathrooms look like a posh shed but inside they are well kept, 20p for a shower which were lovely + hot. We were made very welcome + told there was no hurry to vacate our spot on the day we left.
Would we visit again? Most definitely. The isn't a play area for children, but with a great beach only a walk away it didn't matter
