Not free, no facilities outside the theme park, there is an Elsan point but no water to rinse, there was a fresh water tap available but it got turned off and then didn’t get turned on, it’s basically just a large car park opposite another car park where it sounds like street racers meet up every night.. great location convenient for getting out about in Southport and lots of room for campers.
