Meathop Fells - Poor access to site

Unfortunately, I will not return to this site only because of the terrible access to the site. It is a long single lane road whereby if you meet another vehicle in the opposite direction, it is impossible to pass each other, unless someone is prepared to reverse a considerable distance. We honestly thought we had gone the wrong way as there was a couple of steep inclines and tight bends that were again single lane. It took us 20 minutes after leaving the site to try and get on the main road because of vehicles and a tractor coming in the opposite direction. The tractor was unable to pass us near some residential houses, my husband and daughter had to get out of the car and move 6 wheelie bins so the tractor could get past us, I was literally 6 inches off parked vehicles, not a pleasant experience at all, I am very surprised this site is open with the access it has.  The site and wardens were very nice but am not prepared to go back purely because of the access to the site.

Lovely again

Last week must have been our 10th visit the area, especially recently with our grandchildren. A clean, friendly and convenient side. Shop sells what you need and you can order bakery items for the next morning, and meat products from a noted local butcher. Info. hut well up to date. A restful site and so convenient for the whole Lake District area

Sunny Spring Bank

Our second visit to this obviously popular site so wasn't able to pitch as far away from the play area as we wanted but that said it wasn't noticeably noisy. The site is immaculately kept and the wardens were all very helpful. This is an ideal site for visiting the southern end of the Lake District and Grange is a very pleasant town with an excellent chippy. The only issue we had was the council resurfacing the road to the site. I've never know so many workmen take so long to do so little! However as it was sunny all week this didn't seem to matter as much as it would on a workday. Would recommend this site to everyone.

Lovely Site

This is a lovely, well kept site. Very picturesque and peaceful and even better when you are lucky enough (as we were) to have beautiful sunshine for our whole visit! The only suggestion we could make is that customers are reminded on arrival that check out time is 12pm! we met four!! caravans leaving the site at 12.20 and trying to pass another caravan on a very steep hill is no joke!! Otherwise, a lovely stay thankyou.

A great site

Stayed here as we wanted to go to Holker Garden Festival and this site was a perfect location. It was the school half term, so the site was busy, but when we pulled up the warden was very helpful, showed us the available pitches and let us wander round the site to have a look at each pitch before choosing. We selected pitch 24 which was a grass pitch but at the quiet end of the site and gave us a lovely area of grass for our dog. The warden directed us to a field where we could let the dog off, which was back down the lane just at the end of the houses and we also used the woods just up from the entrance. The facilities as others have said are second to none and immaculately clean. Will definitely return.

Everything and more!!

Stayed over the May BH and used as a base for Cartmelll Races and the Simply Red concert. There is nothing more you can say about this site other than superb. The wardens are friendly and accommodating and the site/showers are pristinely spotless and a testiment to their work. Pitches well spaced and well presented. If I had to comment on anythng its the distance to the tv ariel points, you will need a 25mtr cable for some pitches but they are sold in the camp shop and the Caravan Clubs rules on tents. If they are not allowed, why was a trailer tent allowed. Got a little noisy after 11pm one night (awning) but hey, they seem to have a good night and they weren't kids. Other than that enjoy your stay at this off the beaten track site....it really is a fabulous place to stay and we will certainly return.

Absolute gem

This was our first visit here and we were very impressed with this site. As you expect from a CC site it was immaculately clean, shower area's were kept spotless, and pitches were a good size. The wardens were all very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The reception stocks a lot of the normal essentials with local produce available like bacon, sausages etc. There is a small dog walk through the woods but if you left the site you could walk your dog along country lanes. Grange over sands is a 5 minute drive away and has a lovely promenade with cafe's and restaurants. The promenade cafe near the old Lido offers afternoon tea at very reasonable price. There are numerous walks from Grange over sands and we choose one that went up to the Hospice. This is a fantastic viewpoint over Morecambe bay. All in all this site offered us everything we wanted and in an area we had never visited before but intend to return to.

Peaceful and delightful. Good for cycling.

The site was full being the start of the Bank Holiday weekend but you wouldn't know it.  Such a peaceful site with views down to Morecombe Bay from many parts of the site.  Staff and facilities all top notch as you would expect from the Caravan Club.  We love cycling from the site up into the quiet lanes of the Southern Lakeland.   Just follow the NCN and then head north out of Witherslack - you need an OS map but the quietness and wildlife are what you dream of.  We drop into Bownes (not for long - too many crowds) cross the ferry and go down the back road on the west side of Windermere to Newby Bridge.  Then there is a lane to take you to Cartmel and back to Grange. 35 hilly miles and just perfect. We will return again ..and again ...and again.....
