Just returned from a five night stay during October half term. The staff are really friendly and helpful and can't do enough for you. There were plenty of activities for Halloween with the majority of visitors taking part which was great for our daughter. The nearby Strickland Arms was recommended by the site staff and was fantastic. We visit this site every year as the setting and location at this time of the year is just brilliant. We really do love this site and a big thank you to the owners and staff for a great holiday.
Quiet Site
A beautiful, quiet site except for the falling twigs and acorns onto the roof! I imagine this to be a fantastic site in spring and summer but take care where you park your caravan if visiting in autumn. Facilities clean. Fantastic walks from the site through the woods or along the river.
Beautiful Site
We've just returned from a week at this site with our kids for half term and our dog. We absolutely loved the site and at this time of the year the different colours of the leaves were beautiful. The wardens as always were very friendly and helpful and maintained the site extremely well (always out clearing the roads of the leaves). The kids had a fantastic time playing on the park and exploring in the woods and making dens, it was great going down to the river. Very easy access and near to the rest of the sights of the lakes. The fish and chips from the van on Friday night were yummy. I would def advise to pack some levellers as i would imagine a few of the pitches will need them... we was glad we had ours. Lovely site, enjoyed every minute of our holiday and defiantly on the list for one to come back to again.
New to Kendal
We had not been to Kendal before and used it as a stop over on our way south and on our way back north. If you like trees and being in among trees this is the site for you. It is a very quiet site but on our return visit, it was school holidays so lots of kids around. Some of the roads round the site are quite narrow and steep and you need to be aware of children on bikes racing downhill - against the one way system, at all times. The toilet blocks are lovelyand clean and well maintained by the wardens. Depending on your pitch, not much sun filters through so it can be quite dark especially in late autumn. At night in the dark it is easy to get lost in the warren of paths as we found out. Pitch size varies and the second pitch we had was small and we felt quite enclosed. There are good dog walks in and around the site and a local farm shop is close by with local produce. Easily accessable from the M6.

Great to be back
Just spent the weekend at one of our favourite sites. This site holds lots of lovely memories for us as we used to take our boys when they were only small.
We returned for a visit with my eldest son who has recently purchased his own outfit and for his first trip out wanted to return to Kendal.
I am happy to say the site has not lost any of its beautiful charm and the facilities are as good as ever.
Weekend visit to Kendal Club Site
A little out of the way - but what do you expect for peace and quiet? But absolutely lovely, right next to the river and very well kept and maintained. We only stayed 2 nights for a well needed weekend break and found the site relaxing (despite being the start of half term) and set in some lovely countryside. Mostly wooded, but some open pitches, and steeped in history of a Gunpowder works (It's quite safe now!!!). The site reception / shop is stocked better than I've seen a lot of other Caravan Club Site receptions and arriving on Friday was well timed as that is Fish and Chip shop van night :-)
We visited in mid-late October so it was a bit wet weather-wise, but the colours in the trees were magnificent. We will certainly try to return may be in springtime.

Simply Idyllic
We stayed here from October 17th for 7 nights and what a relaxing week it was. The wardens are helpful and friendly but except for their day to day duties extremely low profile. Apparently the biggest complaint they get is about the trees and the narrow roadways on the site. Firstly, if you don't want trees, don't book into a site that states it is "set in National Trust Woodland". Secondly, if you stick to the site speed limit the roadways are fine for even the lowest skilled driver. We noticed very few drivers on site seemed to be able to take this fact in. This is a beautiful site with several walks starting from the front gate, ranging fron 2.5 to 5 miles and covering a variety of terrains. The peace and quiet is exquisite and the wildlife around the site (Nuthatches, Great Tits, Green Woodpeckers etc) a joy to watch. The pitches are generous in size- however some seem to have flint a few inches below the surface which made pitching an awning rather challenging, even with hard ground pegs. All in all we loved the site and we will be definitely returning next year.
Fitzmee to a tree
When we arrived I had mixed feelings but the were unfounded. The site was excellent in all aspects. Well done to the wardens. Speaking of the wardens - The Saturday morning we were leaving we were all set to pull away from our pitch. Heyho no stop lights on the car or caravan. A neighbour looked but remained unsolved. A quick call to Mayday and they would be there within the hour. Having to vacate by 12 we went to the late arrivals space and spoke to the on duty wardens. Within minutes Mr Warden was out with his tool kit, bonnet up, fuses found, dead one located and replaced with new one. Quick call to Mayday to cancel the call out. I have been on many sited during my 40 years caravanning but these wardens hold my highest accolade. A small thank you didn't seem enough but even that they didn't expect. Will I go back - Absolutely. My only problem was my English Springer Spaniels had nowhere to run because of the river, I would never have got them back, and no safe designated dog run. Obviously that is my problem to get over. Great holiday. Thanks again.
The team were first class
Having recently spent 4 nights on the site we feel compelled to compliment the staff on the service we received. They are the most pleasant team we have met in a year of caravanning, providing helpful advice without giving the appearance that they were doing us a favour. The facilities on our section of this large site were first class. Well done the CC in selecting this team.
