A lovely touring site, close to Southport. It is a caravan and camping club affiliated site but we only realised this once we had arrived. We found the facilities to be very good and we were very happy with our pitch. The site is very clean and well maintained, family and dog friendly. Wardens were friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend this site. July 2024

A fantastic day out on Saturday 22nd June 2024. Take a quick look at some vintage, classic and modern vehicle collections, various stalls and events in the arena. With so much to do and see we didn't get round to everything, we recommend spending the full day, to give yourself enough time to get round it all.

We visit Haven at Marton Mere Holiday village for a long weekend during Easter half term. Unfortunately for us, we didn't know that Storm Kathleen was on the forecast and our lightweight awning did not fare well! However this did not spoil it and we had a great weekend. Marton Mere is a great base for families with touring Caravans, especially if you want to explore or attend events in Blackpool.

Some activities were not available due to the time of year but there was still lots to do and look at. We highly recommend a trip to ...

      Safety is always a worry and our main priority whenever we go anywhere, so we are glad if this has helped.

We paid £3000.00 advanced payment and have been paying a monthly lease for four and a half years. |The point is that, when we entered the lease contract we were told we could buy it at the end of the lease but Motability have removed this option mid lease without informing any Motability customers!
