Good Find But Terrible WiFi

This site is a little isolated and a good walk away from Grange over Sands but the site itself is excellent. We will be back. The only grip is the wifi. For 36 hours it was non existant. The warden I spoke to told me it was a long standing problem that was not the site wifi but the BT connection and service. My only comment to the C Club is - if this is a known and serious deficiency then please do make it clear on the site description so that members do not book the site expecting wifi access. But a great site - really nice

Gem of a site

As my first visit to a CC site I was impressed by the welcome I received. The gentleman on reception ( whose name I forgot to note) was extremely helpful to a "newby" and went out of his way to find me the perfect pitch for a lone lady motorhomer with two rather yappy dogs. The site was beautifully presented and the toilet facilities excellent. A short but interesting dog walk is available next to the site. Access to the site could be challenging for larger units but location excellent for access to southern lakes , Grange and Arnside. Probably more suited to to couples/singles then families as limited entertainment for children unless you are prepared to drive some distance.

Nicely tucked away site

This is a great site in a great location. Good views across the Kent estuary from some of the pitches and considering you can be in the heart of the Lake Ditrict in less than half an hour from here, you still have a sense of peace and quiet that you don't always get on the more busy Lake District sites. You have the whole of the Lakes to choose from for days out plus nearby Kirby Lonsdale (quaint village/nice shops) and Arnside good walking out to Silverdale and back over the Knott). We will be back.

Mixed review.

I have to be honest and say I was a bit disappointed with this site. There are only a limited number of pitches where you can put an awning up and when we did put ours up there is rock so close to the surface that the pegs wouldn't go very far into the ground. It is also necessary to use extreme measures to get the caravan anywhere near level on some pitches (large chunks of tree left next to the pitch to assist with this). To be fair the reward was a beautiful view of the estuary. Maintenance of the pitches to remove weeds/grass could also be better. The shower block was, however, of the usual high standard. The site is in a lovely location and the information room gave lots of ideas for days out. At one end of the site there is an excellent children's play area but the area is perhaps more suitable for couples. Anyone with walking difficulties may find the site a bit steep in parts and needs to be a consideration if you want to access the toilet block or can only manage an aquaroll on the level.

Quiet Relaxation

Came with the family in a caravan some years ago, this time as a couple in a motorhome. This is a lovely peaceful relaxing site where you can sit and let the world pass you by. Grange-over-Sands is close enough to cycle to, but it's really a town for 'the more mature' than families, especially since the swimming pool closed. We like it, we'll be back, but would probably go elsewhere if we had children in tow.

Excellent

We recently stayed at this for only one night, the wardens very extremely helpful and friendly. The shower block was the best I've experienced in the caravan club. Would certainly visit again when in area

Great location.

Staff helpful and polite. Access to site tight at Club entrance. We were on site for seven nights and experience members arriving daily up to 3hours before allowed arrival time. There has to be a way to prevent members arriving like this. The affect of me leaving was that the rear of my caravan ground out at the exit which is tight because of an early arrival. Staff confirmed they can not turn people away. Club needs to sort this increasingly obstructive behaviour out. I will not visit this site again because of this. On one occasion I could not leave the site because of queuing early arrivals.

September break

The site was very peaceful and picturesque, central for places to visit, the only fault we had was there was nowhere to run our very energetic border collie

Newby first time

Easy to find. Friendly staff and other campers. Great pitches. Superb showerblock. Seems to me to need a bar/clubhouse on site but otherwise will visit again. And if I say I'll go again I must have been impressed!
