Just returned after a short stay at this site. I have stayed here a few times but this time was disappointed. We stayed on service pitch. My view is I won't again due to location of pitches, there are far better pitches around the site and for the extra money the location of the pitches offer no views over the lakes and the pitch I was on was far from level. They looked as though they have been thrown together not the normal pitch standard. The hot water pressure in the whole toilet block was extreamly poor and just about a trickle making showering not worth it. I did draw it to the attention of the wardens but no real answer and nothing changed all the stay. The cold was normal pressure so something is wrong but the wardens don't shower in the shower block !! Remember there is still no fog walk and you have to go onto the lanes outside the site and into a small wood, not best. WIFI still pathetic, is this not the 21st century ? I can get better wifi on a bus and it's free not £25 a year and very poor. Think you need to invest caravan club and stop wasting money on your re branding which wasn't needed. I watched a warden change signs on the site with signs that said exactly the same !!!!! Am I missing something is this where the members money goes!!!! Well moan over and won't be returning until they get a grip. Much better caravan club sites in the lakes
One of our favourites
We spent 3 nights here in June at the end of a 3 week trip. We have stayed here several times in the past and the site is one of our favourites. It is a large peaceful site in a wooded setting(most pitches are in the shade of trees), with excellent and well kept facilities. The walk into Grange over Sands, with a small inquisitive dog, takes us about an hour - a nice walk on a quiet, fairly flat road. The Woodlands Hotel is about 5 minutes walk from the site and well worth visiting for good food, a pleasant bar and an outdoor garden area. The hotel is dog friendly, so book a table in the bar and you can enjoy a meal in the company of your pet.
Great site
Just had 2 weeks on site, becoming a yearly trip ! Wardens friendly and helpful,site clean tidy and looked after,the place is bone dry so care needed with outdoor cooking. Wi-fi is garbage but you are warned,just wasted 25 quid but at least the sun 🌞 was out and hot for the two weeks, that’s a 1st.
There was a sign warning of the Wi-fi issue ant BT men up trying to fix
Will be back
Return visit
Another very enjoyable visit, enhanced by beautiful weather.
Meathop never fails to impress, superb location for so many things to do in this wonderful location.
Well run site by friendly and helpful wardens. Everything immaculate, the epitomy of what a caravan club site should be.
Here's to the next time!

Our first stay at Meathop Fells
We stayed on this site for one week and all though we had a lovely weeks stay there are some negatives about the site. The approach road is very narrow so don’t try arriving before twelve because there are only a few passing places. Some Caravans were arriving at 10am when we were going out for the day and we had to pull over to let them past. The wardens should turn Caravans away that arrive long before twelve.
Lots more non awning pitches than awning pitches. Lots of trees so very shady in most areas and watch for tree sap and seeds sticking to caravan/ car. Not for people with mobility problems as a lot of the pitches some distance from the shower block. The best thing about the site is it’s location to the lakes.
November 2017
We stayed here for 2 nights on the way home to Scotland. if you want wifi then best find somewhere else. I tried to do some catch up work but couldn't, however that didn't affect our stay. TV reception wasn't great but that was no big deal either, I'm sure a booster would do the trick. I do like radio though..... There were far too many wifi comments in the visitors book. Its a place to relax, chat, walk, cycle and just enjoy things away from the digital stuff. We are hoping to come down again in the summer. Its a 1 hour walk to Meathop but you can reward yourself in the cafes there. The town has a great butchers shop (sorry veggies) and we came away with a fair supply. There's nothing bad to say about this site.
Don't rely on taxis or public transport.

pees and tranquillity
we have just had six nights at meathop fell and enjoyed every minuet of it. we went this time last year, it is a very relaxing site with fantastic views especially if you get down in the bottom to the left of the reception. the facility's are immaculately clean and the wardens are so very helpful and polite. i can not find anything negative to say about meathop fell at all. we will certainly be going again. we had a ride out on the saturday night with friends to the gilping bridge hotel for a meal, it was first class and not to expensive.

We stayed here, in November
The site4 is lovely and the staff are very friendly, and helpful. There is hotel just up the road, were you can get a meal and drink if you need. The access is not to bad, one Sharpe corner, but manageable.
There is lots to do in the area. the scenery is amazing.
very nice

Last minute getaway
Rather than take our caravan back to its storage after it's service we decided to visit Meathop Fell for the weekend. The site is really nice and handy for all South Lakeland beauty spots. We parked in the station at Windermere and walked up to Orrest Head where there is a wonderful view along the lake and across to the Langdale fells. The wardens were pleasant and worked hard to keep the site immaculate. We enjoyed our visit and hope to return next year.
Lives up to its great reputation
Other reviewers have said it all ....... I can only endorse their comments and satisfaction.
Go find the the best pitch for you, some are in the trees and others with estuary views and more open. Find the Wi-if pylon and the jobs a good un !
When visiting Grange turn right at the mini roundabout after the rail station and the car park is up the street on the right and has motorhome spaces and NO height barrier.
