Can't see any reason to return to this site

This was our first visit to Kendal Caravan Club Site. The approach road is signposted when leaving the main road but after that there is a distinct shortage of signage. Just before reaching the site there is a fork in the road and it is very easy to bear left and take the wrong road. Surely the Club should erect a sign to show the way as not everyone is confident about reversing with a Caravan along a narrow lane. The site is surrounded by lots and lots of trees and if you like to see the sky you will be disappointed. When we were there it was impossible to get a pitch that was not under the trees and when it rained (not the fault of the club) it was like the proverbial water torture. The site is laid out over several different levels which is interesting but the track through the site is not intuitive and the site map as provided upon arrival, is not very accurate. There are lots of remains of what was apparently a Gunpowder mill and it is interesting to view them. The site is fairly large and when we were there (Early September 2016) there was not a lot of empty pitches so it is obviously a popular place. We didn’t think that all the pitches were very large although some pitches were a lot bigger than others. Despite the site being set in National Trust woodland there did not appear to be any grass present. There is a track and lots of gravel but the place is not attractive. We found the whole experience very claustrophobic and oppressive and will not be going back.
