Martin Lane Farm Camp Site

Alright, so you're looking for somewhere to pitch a tent near Southport? Martin Lane Farm Camp Site out in Ormskirk isn't actually in Southport itself, but it's only a short drive, and you're still in Merseyside, mind. It's a small, family-run kinda place – not one of those massive holiday parks. Google reviews are pretty good, 4.7 out of 5 from 12 reviews which is a decent sign.

If you're coming for the Open at Birkdale in 2026 (12-19 July), this could be a handy spot, especially if you're bringing the family and want something a bit more chilled than a hotel. It's proper countryside, so expect farm smells and the occasional tractor. Give them a ring on 07736 456718 if you have any questions.

They don't have loads of pitches, so it's worth checking availability, especially around school holidays. The Pitchup website has more info if you want to book online.

One thing to remember: it's a working farm, so wellies are probably a good shout, even in summer.
