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.....
Wonderful Break
This is a lovely spot for walkers. The park is dog friendly, and the staff are very helpful. The facilities are clean and tidy. The park is laid out very well if you want shaded spots there are spots in the trees or you can have full sunshine in other areas. Just out the gates there is a hotel/restaurant which welcome non residence. If you like walking you can walk from the park to Grange Over Sands which is a delightful Victorian seaside town. Lake Windermere is only 14 miles away, and Cartmel about 4 miles away which you can walk from the park. All in all a beautiful area to visit and a lovely campsite to stay at. This is our second time to this park and already plan to go back next year.

Top marks here
We only spent one night here on our way south from Scotland and had a very nice welcome on check in. The site is immaculate, with well kept lawns and lots of poo bins. There is a lovely walk just outside the site through the woods, so wish we could have had more time. The toilet and shower block were clean and well serviced. I liked the little bench seat outside the curtain in the shower cubical too...nice touch there. The site is dry stone walled, so views are at a premium but we did see the sands briefly from our motor home.
Access
No other recent review seems to mention the dreadfully steep narrow incline to this site. Our twin axle caravan was only inches from the floor at the backend it's so steep ! Fingers crossed as we arrived and left the site that we didn't meet anything on the road. This site also has no one way system and it needs it ! It's a very nice site, lots of shady trees and grass kept lovely. The wardens were very friendly and the facilities were excellent but don't think we'll be returning in a hurry
Excellent site
Beautiful site with beautiful scenery around the site. We have just returned from over a weeks stay on the club site. The wardens were fantastic ......very friendly and helpful. The toilet block was immaculate and the site is well kept. We will be visiting again in the near future
Excellent site
Just arrived back from this excellent well run site with spotlessly clean toilet block and very friendly wardens, and the good weather did help.

Excellent Site
We have just spent seven days at this excellent club site. The wardens keep the site in tip top order and the facilities are clean and warm . Additionally they are friendly , helpful and pleasant; a model for others dare I suggest . The site is well placed to visit the south lakes and Lancashire and there is some excellent walking from the site. Grange over Sands where there are excellent shops and restaurants are a forty five minute walk . My only slightly negative point is the excessive number of dogs on the site and the practice of walking them round the site rather than taking them off site. Yes the rules allow for it but perhaps the club should consider requiring dogs to be "exercised" either on dedicated dog walks or off site.
