Peaceful Meathop Fell Club Campsite in pretty Grange-over-Sands is thoughtfully laid out with separate pitching areas attractively divided by shrubs and grass. The campsite is an ideal base to launch your exploration of Cumbria and the beautiful Southern Lake District.
Brockhole, the National Park Visitor Centre, is a good place to start your exploration, as it holds an enormous collection of information, books and audio/visual material about the Lakes under one roof. The entire area is a walker's paradise with its scenic beauty. Literary associations with famous artists are everywhere - from Wordsworth at Dove Cottage in Grasmere to Beatrix Potter at Sawrey. Another interesting excursion for the artistically inclined would be the Potter Gallery in the Main Street at nearby Hawkshead. The campsite also gives you easy access to fun water activities at Windermere plus sailing, canoeing and windsurfing at Coniston. In addition, plenty of flat cycling can be enjoyed nearby.
If you fancy a change of scene then head to the seaside resort of Grange-over-Sands, perfect for a stroll along the promenade, dining and shopping.

Easter weekend
What a beautiful site pitches are big and spaced out, site traffic was slow which makes a big difference having children knowing they are safe to ride there bikes Most of all was the very warm welcome we received from the warden’s, friendly polite and smiling

Well appointed quiet site.
One of our regular sites. Well set out and maintained. Variety of pitches to choose from. Handy for south lakes but even Keswick is a leisurely 50 minute drive via Bowness and lake Windermere. Good playground for kiddies. .
