gmcclin Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hi folks...I hope you can help me out. I was planning on going to spend some time visiting places of interest in Liverpool. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a campsite with transport link into Liverpool or pub/Hotel that allows overnight Motorhome parking.

manxli Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hi The 'Brit Stops' directory might have a pub with parking on Merseyside, but you'll have to buy the book to find out. I haven't got my copy with me at the moment I'm afraid. (away from home) http://www.britstops.com/ Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wills Wagon Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 If you can't get anything nearer the Caravan Club site at Chester Fairoaks would be OK. Buses run to Liverpool, it takes about an hour. If retired use your bus pass otherwise look at cheapest tickets perhaps a dayrider. Liverpool is now a really good place to visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than £5 for an all-day Merseyrail ticket (covers the journey in/out, and all the greater Liverpool area during the day), about 45 minutes travel, and trains every 15 minutes or so until very late.

Wirralian Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Ger. Sorry that I have not picked up on your reply before tonight. No, this small site has nothing to do with me. Arrowe Brook farm is Camping and Caravanning Club certified site (CS) but is also open to non members and has all the essentials including hook-ups that are to be found on nearly all 5 van site these days. The farmer, Trevor, is a bit relaxed about the '5' van. As I said earlier, its only some quarter of a mile walk to 10 min bus service to Liverpool and shops. (There is also a half hour service to Birkenhead a couple of minutes away). Hope this helps. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain it was here, can't look it up, no longer a member. 53.406842, -3.148585 I remember it was expensive either £15 or £20 a night, wouldn't give a discount if you didn't use EHU despite the fact the field was muddy so you couldn't get a Motorhome anywhere near a EHU point.
