Very rare are we speechless, but here we are at a site within walking distance of the town centre, lake views, the beech across the road and more eateries within a stones throw than you can shake a stick at. Where are we? Lake Garda? Lake Maggiore? No, this time we are in a (very) sunny Waterside Lodge, Southport. This ten pitch caravan site sits within the land owned by the Scout Headquarters and facilities are as follows:

• Open all year round
• Grass pitches with 16 amp electric (possibility to park on the car park in wet weather)
• Toilets/showers (currently closed due to the Covid outbreak)
• A rather grand chemical disposal point
• Lake views
• Fantastic central location
• Friendly warden on site.
• Fresh water point
• Grey water dump

If there is a downside, and it is only slight, one or two pitches may have some traffic noise, but we didn’t hear anything.
