Jacksmere Camping

Right then, Jacksmere Camping. It's out in Scarisbrick, so technically Southport, Merseyside, but you'll need a car or a taxi, like. It gets a 3.8 out of 5 on Google from 65 reviews, so it's not knocking anyone's socks off, but it's decent enough if you're after a camping spot that's not too far from town. Give them a ring on 07979 995093 if you need to ask anything.

It's not right in the thick of things, which is good if you want a bit of peace and quiet. It's handy for Birkdale, so if you're coming for The Open at Royal Birkdale in 2026, this could be an option to consider. Probably better suited to families or groups, I reckon, than couples looking for a romantic getaway, mind.

Look, it's camping, so don't expect the Ritz. But if you're after a simple base to explore the area, and you don't mind roughing it a bit, Jacksmere could do the trick. Just be sure to check they've got space before you head out, especially during peak season or if there's an event on.
