Great site for kids (but those who want quieter pitches can find them away from the play area). Usual high quality CC facilities - toilets and showers excellent and very warm on the cold crisp evenings and nights. Just one thing - why need for toilet/shower access keys? (frustrating if forgotten etc., and not sure if really needed). Local area fantastic, and it has all you need. The prom is a must with great play area and activities for kids. Had great weather which made the views even better.
One thing to watch - the approach to the site includes a steep sharp incline which has to be taken carefully to avoid the back end catching. And spoke to other caravanner whose Van struggled up and needed assistance.
Other than that, great site and will go back without hesitation.
7th Visit to Meathop Fell
Facilities are consistently excellent, a lovely peaceful environment and a great place to stay. Wooden blocks are provided for uneven pitches. The wardens have been very helpful on all our visits, however on the last seemed a little stressed during check-in...
The toilet block is always very clean and warm, and the information Centre has plenty of free leaflets!.
Hope to stay again soon :)

Another fantastic visit
Just returned from our 3rd trip to this greath little gem of a site. This was the busiest it has ever been but you dont feel on top of each other. Wardens are great and the facilities are second to non. The area is beautiful and lots to explore if you want to drive or walk. Will definitely be back.
Meathop Fell
Just returned from our first visit to Meathop Fell, we loved this site. The location is great the wardens were very friendly & helpful, the shower block warm & spotless. the area itself is great for the south lakes & Grange over Sands has a lovely old fashioned feel to it, has a great butchers shop & two chocolate shops! We can't wait to return.

Mid-week break
Just returned from a lovely break at Meathop Fell. Wardens were friendly and helpful and the facilities were great (clean, warm etc). Enjoyed the walk into Grange but not too sure about 'wading' through the water by the golf course - wellies definitely recommended.

Lovely campsite and helpful staff. Facilities are superb - clean, warm (it was minus 5 when we stayed) and well well appointed. Great situation for touring the southern lakes and very easy to get to from the M6. Will definitely be back!
Meathop in the snow
Had a wonderful extended weekend here in the snow! The site staff are wonderful, the facilities are spotless. We had to extend our stay due to the snow but with such a wonderful site with marvellous views, who cares?
New Year
Stayed over the new year and had an excellent time, the site was in its usual great condition, despite the very inclement weather over the past there months. The facility block without doubt is second to non, and immaculately maintained.
My main concern for this site, as I have previously recorded, is the large number of non awning pitches, far more than there were a few years ago. If the dimensions for pitches to be able to accommodate awnings has become larger perhaps it would be prudent to reduce the number of pitches and realign those left to overcome this problem. Having visited this site frequently I suspect the level of occupancy has fallen since this increase in non awning pitches.
FANTASTIC
Stayed at Meathop over the New Year period. Wardens were very friendly and knowledgeable. The warden even helped us pitch up after the dreaded Caravan mover decided to pack up....! Loved the little soiree held in reception on New Years Eve afternoon, which club members shared their own holidays with others. Woodlands Hotel was great on New Years Eve (only a short stroll away) Dogs allowed in the bar there. Toilet/shower block immaculate and up to date. Would definitely visit again, as Cartmel & Grange over Sands not too far to drive to. No flooding at all, site very nicely laid out, we even survived Storm Frank, as site very sheltered.

New year break
Just spent new year at Meathop, site is easy to find and not too far from major routes. Wardens very friendly & helpful. Toilets are very good, they look brand new.
Hotel round the corner (woodlands) has a public bar which was very handy.
Grange over sands is a nice town with a lovely promenade for dog walking ang great views of morecambe bay, Cartmel is only a short drive away and well worth a visit. All attractions of the Lakes within easy access but this part of Cumbria has lots to offer without the crowds of the famous Lakes. Would recommend this site and intend to return at some point.
