Our fifth out of six stops on our four weeker and so far this one ranked the lowest. For us there were far too many big trees so sunny pitches were at a premium. The whole site looks tired and dated though in fairness, inside, the facilities block was modern and clean albeit the water pressure was poor. Access to the site was chaotic due to someone on the entrance trying to leave when we and several others arrived at about 12:30. The arrival after 12:00 was largely ignored and we saw people arriving before 10am. Surely with such a narrow access this rule should be strictly enforced or at least made clear that huge problems are likely in the event of two outfits meeting head on! For those who rely on busses, don't, the stop is over two miles away and the service infrequent. Cycleways are abundant if you are in to that mode of transport but beware the terrain - Hilly! Grangeover Sands is nice and well worth a visit.
Wonderful site
This is a fabulous site to stay on a great base for exploring the Lakes and fabulous for children with a playground to keep them happy. Just a very relaxing place to pitch up & the staff are all very friendly and helpful. Perfect site, location, staff & facilities.
Peace & Quiet
Lovely site, Very peaceful, very clean, good shop with lovely bacon (Smoked) Will be back.
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.
Working holiday
I've absolutely no complaints about this beautiful pristine campsite there are even tubs of flowers by the bins..Beautiful
The staff were so helpful when I couldn't find the site! Will be returning definitely.
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.
