Why stay here ...

OFFERS*: 10% OFF Spring Getaways | Kids for £1 (aged 5-17) | Under 5s stay free | £5 refundable deposit

Set in National Trust woodland, Kendal Club Campsite is so peaceful you'll not want to leave. From the country lane approach running beside a tumbling river, to the glades where you can pitch amidst the wild flowers, this caravan park is a small slice of heaven. Some will be interested to know that Kendal Club Campsite is on the site of a 19th-century gunpowder mill.

Kendal Club Campsite lets you enjoy nature to the full, from the swoop of the fells to the luxurious blue of the lakes. There are several scenic walks to be had and don't forget to bring along your binoculars because the bird life is varied and colourful. If you're a wild flower enthusiast you won't be disappointed as you'll see a range of marvellous blooms on display, not least wild orchids. For those who enjoy the sport of fishing, the campsite also features a river that is popular amongst anglers (with a National River Licence). When you fancy a bite to eat, the nearby market town of Kendal is famous for its mint cake and trusted for its hearty meals. Nearby facilities including a farm shop, supermarket and cafe, enable you to conveniently stock up on supplies for your holiday.

Not for us

Far too hilly for me as I can't manage hills. Impossible to get to to the facilities from where we were told to pitch way up the hill. Perhaps there should be a note on the site details pointing out that it's unsuitable for anyone with mobility problems. We didn't like... Show more

Gem of a site

We stayed over the Easter weekend and whilst the site was full you wouldn't have known as it was very quiet. We were met by the wardens at the gate to check in so that was quick and smooth. The pitches are well spread out so it's very peaceful. Nice... Show more

We had a lovely peaceful stay. Always kept clean and tidy. They have a treasure hunt for the children, which my grandchildren really enjoyed and kept them from their phones. All the facilities managers where all friendly and helpful. Thank you. We will be coming back.
