Great location very close to Grange over Sands. Very peaceful and quiet with very friendly staff who keep the site in lovely condition including the toilet and shower facilities. My only disappointment was the WiFi which I needed did not work and even when it does is very hit and miss according to the office staff. Will definitely go back.
Fabulous
Fabulous site. Had everything we needed after a busy week at work. Friendly staff, spotless toilet block, well spaced out pitches, very peaceful. Will definitely stay again.
Nice but faulty
Loved the site but not happy about the tales about wifi , was told with wifi should be fixed by wardens within the week of our visit but find out that the wifi at meathop fell has never worked properly or most of the time at all. . At £ 29.50 per night expect to be told the truth as we now know that the caravan club is well aware of the wifi situation at this site.
Sunshine and friends!
Stayed at the great site with our friends "Spinning wheels" from Alnwick 22/07 - 24/07. Loved the location and the layout of the site. Spotlessly clean, great facilities and very welcoming. As already mentioned, the woodlands could do with a visit from Mr Ramsay, however who needs a pub when you can enjoy a glass or two of wine sitting outside your van in the evening sunshine.! Thanks for a great weekend break.

Spinning Wheels!!
Stayed 21/7 for 3 nights in our Carado Motorhome from Alnwick in Northumbria. Big thanks again to the Team at the Site who promptly got me moving again on a grassy stand!! The whole experience a Meathop Fell was undoubtedly the best of 2016 so far. Grange over Sands is well worth a visit with a walk along the promenade,not to be missed. We also used the Woodlands Hotel 500yds away. Can certainly recommend for a walk too and a friendly drink,but don't bother with the Restaurant !! ( poor menu, quality & presentation)
Will certainly be back. Thankyou again.
LOVELY SITE
We stayed here for our first visit to this site for two weeks in June and really enjoyed it. We pitched away from trees in a lovely spot, and despite the long hike uphill to the facilities, found the site so relaxing and peaceful. Grange is well worth a visit for a walk along the prom, and it has a well stocked Co-op, excellent fruit and veg shop, bakers and butcher. Arnside Knott (NT) is worth a trip (not suitable for motorhomes due to narrow access). Climb to the top of the Knott to see the beautiful Morecambe Bay, and back across to Meathop. Fell Foot park (NT) is a lovely spot too on the edge of Windermere to have a walk with the dog, or let the kids play or loads of other things to do. There are so many places to see we just wished it wasn't so far for us to come from Devon! If you want the biggest and best piece of chocolate cake in the world then visit the café at Sizergh Castle. The site was busy whilst we were there, but never had a problem with available showers. Our only main niggle was the lukewarm water - both for showers and washing up, and the disappointing wi fi, but hey, we were happy!

What a lovely site, the facilities were SPOTLESS no matter when we used them. The staff were friendly and a mine of information on the local area. The shop is well stocked with lovely fresh bread daily and you can order for the next day. It was very quiet with mostly older couples but as the English schools had not broken up for the holidays there were no other kids for our 8yr old to chum up with which is unusual. The pitches were quite uneven and required a lot of levelling so bear that in mind and as there are lots and lots of trees satellite reception was zero and we were only able to get a few channels on free view. The road into the site is very narrow and steep and there is a risk of grounding out when leaving the site and turning right towards Grange over Sands, our tow bar took a dunt (no caravan attached). This was our 1st but certainly not our last visit, the surrounding area is stunning and there is so much to see and do. This is definitely our new favourite place and we plan to return regularly.
First Stay at Meathop
This was our first stay at Meathop in our Motorhome. Access to the site is along a narrow road with passing places but proved to be no problem at all. The site is quiet and well kept with very good, clean modern facilities. The site wardens are very friendly and helpful and there is a good shop on site selling local produce. The roads around the site are very good for cycling with several quiet cycle routes nearby. On the whole, a very enjoyable stay at Meathop and we will certainly be returning in the future.
Facilities
This site had spotless toilet and shower facilities - a credit to the very friendly site wardens.
