Kendal is a very wooded sloping site. Lovely in hot dry weather when shade is appreciated but in wet weather being dripped on all night from the trees above is far from quiet and the Lakes being an area known for a bit of rain I would advise attempting to find a pitch not directly under a tree. Finding a level pitch can also be a problem. Our TV hookup didn't work and radio reception isn't good either. However the Wi-Fi is quite good. The pretty river (which you will drive beside on the extensive scenic drive to get off the site) running by the site looks like fun for children and the adjoining woods have good paths if you have a dog. It's described as a peaceful site so we found the noise level from the main road much more intrusive than expected, perhaps it's quieter towards the bottom of the site. The toilet blocks are spotless and the reception, shop and info room excellently run by lovely staff. The site is well placed for visiting the southern Lakes. We have neither children or dogs with us now so if we return we probably would not use this site.
