Lovely site - tricky access for larger caravans
Kendal is a lovely peaceful site in a woodland area very close to the main town. Small secluded areas create a peaceful setting and create a true sense of being in the middle of the countryside. Facilities were good, though the toilets are a bit of a hilly walk from some pitches so be sure to mention when booking of you have any mobility issues.
Our main problem was the tight access to the site, and then to the pitches. The main access road is single track with passing places for the last half mile or so, however the passing places are quite tight and some distance apart. One on the site, the roads are quite hilly and very narrow in places with steep verges and embankments in some places. We have a twin axle, 8 foot wide caravan and found access to be too restricted in some places, though we made it with extreme caution. We were lucky on delarture that the pitch opposite us was empty (motorhome left for the day) so we able to use that to manouvre onto the road - had the pitch been occupied it would have been almost impossible to get out due to steepness of the road and sharp turn required to get onto the exit route.
We'd recommend the site to anyone looking for a peaceful location - it's lovely, however we probably won't return with our current caravan which is simply too large for the site.
We'd recommend that the Club mention the restricted access on the main site webpage, perhaps mentioning that some visitors might find the narrow roads difficult to negotiate with twin axle or extra wide caravans.
