Waterside Lodge Certificated Site

Waterside Lodge Certificated Site is a ten pitch caravan and motorhome site run by Sefton North Scouts on Marine Drive in Southport, open only to members of the Scout Association or another caravan or motorhome club or association. The location is the draw: the centre sits within a fully fenced, secure site on the seafront, adjacent to Southport Pier and the beach, with Marine Lake and the town's shops and restaurants a walk away. Each pitch on the dedicated field has 16amp electric hook up, a drinking water tap, and chemical waste and grey water disposal points, with toilets and pay per use showers on site. Caravans and motorhomes up to 8.5 metres are welcome and that limit is firm; tents are not allowed at all, so Waterside Lodge is no good for tent campers, anyone with a longer outfit, or anyone hoping to roll up on spec, because pre booking is required. What makes the site unusual is where the money goes: it is run by the Scout district and every penny it takes maintains the centre for at least a thousand young people in Sefton North and beyond. Arrivals are from 1.30pm and departures by 12.30pm, and pitches are from £27 a night Sunday to Thursday, rising to £31 on Fridays and Saturdays with a two night minimum.
