Lovely and Quiet

Lovely site, with lovely wardens. Nothing is to much bother. My booking was a bit of a miss match with awning and non awning pitches over 8 nights. Sue managed to sort me out after the first night for an awning pitch which is what I had really wanted. On the day I was leaving I had bikes to put on the roof of my car. I had managed to struggle and get them down but did not have enough muscle to put them back up. I was travelling on my own as husband had had to go home for work. Mick came to my rescue along with a gentleman called Jeff on pitch 30. So thank you to you both for the help. The site had so many lovely walks straight from site. Even watched owls flying above me from tree to tree. Great site.

Lovely site

This site had everything we look for - peaceful, a beautiful setting, with easy access to walks and pubs. We booked a non-awning pitch and found one with just one pitch beside it which was unoccupied the whole time we were there so it felt like we had our own private pitch surrounded by trees, just up from the river. It's a leisurely walk to the Strickland Arms for good beer and food and it's easy to walk alongside the river into Kendal for a wider selection of pubs. Didn't have any problem with the access road at all.

Fantastic introduction to Club sites

This was our first ever stay at a club site and we were not disappointed. I was aware that this was a "marmite" site but fortunately we love marmite. We had no problems accessing the site in our 8ft wide 8.2m long caravan down the narrow lane, in fact we didn't find it particularly narrow at all, yes there are some pot holes but they are fairly simple to either avoid or just go over slowly. We were very warmly welcomed by very friendly and helpful wardens and because of the size of our outfit a suitable pitch was allocated to us. We were very happy with our spacious pitch, we love the way the site is laid out because it makes it feel like it is much smaller. We were very fortunate to have lovely neighbours for the whole two weeks we were there. The facilities nearest to us were spotlessly clean and in great condition. Unfortunately the playground was closed but the children amused themselves cycling round the site and playing in the river. The only criticism is that the reception had no shop, the only products for sale were toilet fluid and some very useful printed maps of walks from the site. The location is great for exploring but just bear in mind that it is pretty much a minimum of an hour to get to any of the main Lake District locations apart from Windermere which is about half an hour but very busy when we went. All in all we loved our stay and will happily go back.

Warm welcome!

We were impressed by the warmth of the welcome and the friendliness of the staff at this site. It's a great site for dog owners, though because we don't have a dog we did find it a bit noisy at times! The site is so different from any other we have stayed on because of the woodland setting and the vast expanses of gravel between pitches, and it's very hard to get a pitch that's not under trees with the inevitable extra noise on a wet week, but all that said we rather liked it. All the facilities were kept very clean, and the natural feel of the site together with lots of good walks, both short and longer, was pleasing. The approach road is a real mess, with some very deep potholes, and it takes some navigating. To be honest, our main concern at this site was the speed at which some members drove round the site, showing little concern for others. This is not to do with the site as such, except the layout perhaps encourages faster speeds.... so more signage perhaps? We will probably return as its convenient for us.

A beautiful site in a beautiful location.

Great site for dogs with paths through the forest. The last quarter mile is difficult with very poor road and pot holes everywhere. Single track with passing places but cars parked in them. Make sure you arrive at the correct time as you do not want to meet anybody coming the other way. You drive around through the forest to find somewhere to pitch. Tests your driving skills with some of the bends and bridges to cross but it is wide enough to get a caravan round. Might be difficult for a large motor home. Take some rock pegs as the ground is very hard. Toilet and showers are excellent. Going again next year.

Lukewarm welcome

A surprisingly lucky warm welcome from a relief (I think) warden. Pitch was pre-allocated because I was ‘late’ (6pm) - I have no problem with that especially as I knew where it was from a previous visit. No site leaflet offered. No mask wearing by warden (I know this is not compulsory but would have thought that this would encourage visitors/members to wear them too!). A shame that I wasn’t informed that the ehu bollard was out of order in one side (other side in use) so has to search for another - the closest being on a higher terrace and out of visible line of sight from my pitch. I’ve stayed here before and have mixed opinions - the location is great, very convenient for a stopover or longer stay but can’t say that I’m a fan of the layout with some small/tight pitches.

Kendal site

The approach road to the site is a disaster single track with cars parked in the passing places, large potholes in the single track road unavoidable if you want to keep your outfit on the road, in my view unsuitable for 8 ft caravans. The staff on the site are helpful but could have been more transparent about the difficulties for access and egress for larger outfits when booking. Once on the uneven high level tree lined pitch the place is calm and peaceful, but with little light and no views. The toilets and wash up facilities are clean and well maintained but a good hike from the pitch. Unfortunately not a good experience and will not return.

Lovely Site in Woodland Location

Low Park Wood is a magnificent setting for this spacious site by the River Kent not far from the M6. The welcome is as friendly as we expect on Club sites and the wardens are helpful and efficient. It's a large site with various clearings with pitches grouped together. Many of the pitches are sloping and should really be levelled out. There are various walks from the site although in wet weather some tracks can get muddy. It's quiet although there is a little noise from the A591, and you can hear trains on the East Coast Mainline at night. It would be nice if there were a second MWP as you have to drive out of the site and back in to use it. If you like nature this is the site for you. My one major criticism is that the entry road to the site is very narrow and would be a nightmare if two outfits met. Sad to say I've seen many members not obeying the rules about 1 o clock arrival and 12 departure with some turning up after 12. Not a good show.
