Best site by far

We've been coming to this site for 6 years now, at least 3 to 4 times a year. The wardens have always been friendly and pleasant to talk to. It's a site where you can be on your own or with a group of other campers. Almost all the pitches are relatively flat and level. The Forestry Commission work on this site, mostly during the winter when it's closed. Weve been trying to be there when theres a tour of the gunpowder ruins to hear about its history, but seem to just miss it, we'll get there eventually. If you like ancient woodland, this is the place with lots of dog walks. The only down side here is the road leading to the site is full of potholes, but then I don't think the club owns this stretch. On a separate issue not specific to this site but applies to many of the sites is that many dog owners don't follow the rules about their dogs always being on a lead. As a dog owner whos dog has been attacked by loose dogs in the past it becomes extremely annoying.

Exceptional Site

The peace, the beauty, the river, the trees, the location, the cleanliness, the maintenance, the people (staff and fellow visitors), all were, with out exception, superb. All that prevented the perfect 5x5* was the issues I had with the Internet - not I suspect anything to do with the Kendal Site - come on C&MC please get your provider to get their act together! The local Dairy Farm Shop a few minutes very pleasant stroll across the countryside was also exceptionally fine as was the National Trust's Sizergh Castle and gardens. I had booked my Pitch, 129, as a stop-off on the way from the very fine Abbey Wood Club site to 'wee' Iona in Scotland, and also again as a stop-off on my planned return journey a few days later from Iona to Ellesmere (Shropshire's very own Lakeland - also worth a visit!). Too often we say, "I'll be back", - in this case I was so pleased with the Kendal site I did not drive any further - but stayed and enjoyed what I had reached - very much a case of "a bird in the hand being worth two in the bush!" ... By the way, the morning chorus of bird song at this Club Site was wonderful; it extended right through the day to way past sunset! BLISS. Many thanks to everyone - it was a wonderful break - just what I needed.

Wonderful Staff.

Stayed at this site on pitch 124 nice if small pitch. Unfortunately during our stay my husband required emergency medical attention, the staff were so calm and efficient getting the ambulance onto the pitch and reassuring me the whole time offering to take care of the caravan etc etc. I just cant thank them enough. Happily after a few a days stay at Lancaster Royal hospital he was allowed home. Lovely to meet such a caring crew. the site was very clean and quiet, we will be back again hopefully minus the drams next time. Thank you .

Enjoyable stay but issues with tv and WiFi

Friendly wardens as we chatted to several during iur stay. Disappointing there was no wifi whatsover during our 6 day stay especially when we needed it to sort out a few non caravanning issues. I was informed it was being upgraded. There was an aerial connection whixh worked initially but then for the latter part of our stay we had no signal. Again I was infirmed there was an issue with the signal. It's a return trip after many years away and plenty of places to visit which we did but nonetheless disappointing when you returned to the site that wifi and tv weren't working on wet and windy evenings especially.

Peaceful site but perfunctory welcome

After a very long drive we arrived at 12.53 pm . 7 minutes early . The road leading up to the site alongside the river was badly potholed. Barriers were removed at 1pm by a warden . we didn’t have the friendly welcome that others had . Maybe it was because we were a few minutes early ? Check in was perfunctory . The showers were just warm and the shower blocks a bit chilly . A peaceful woodland site next to an impressive river . Sadly because of the price hikes and the not so friendly welcome I don’t think I will return .

Lovely woodland location. Facilities of the usual high standard. Excellent walking direct from site plus lots of the higher fells are not far away. Staff were very friendly and welcoming as usual

Amazing staff!

My first time at Kendal CC, what a friendly welcome it really made our day! Definitely one of the friendliest and relaxed pair of wardens we have had the honour of meeting. It was the last few days it was open before closing for the winter, yet the place was spotless. You're in a wood yet the roads were clear of leaves even in autumn! The toilet block dated but spotless but nothing the wardens can do about the poor investment by the club! It seems the investment is in pods and glamping for non-caravaners these days, not great when the prices go up and up😪 Good walks by the river. I will definitely be going back!

Great site

this is a great site, although it was very busy the pitch areas are so arranged that this wasnt noticeable. Tpilets clean and tidy, cheerful staff, and some nice walks in the area. I did notice a lack of seating on site though. Apart from two pocnic tables behind reception, there were none elsewhere, and this is a big site. Im 78 and a reat occasionally is called for.
