Lovely and friendly site

This is one of our favourite sites. It's very well laid out and peaceful. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. It's become our "go to" site when we want a relaxing couple of days away, as it's only an hour's drive away from home. Not a site if you want excitement, but one where you can wind down and enjoy the walks around the site and alongside the river. About four miles off the M6 along a dual carriageway. The last stage is narrow and a bit rough, but only about half a mile and with plenty of passing places. Folk coming in the opposite direction are usually quite courteous and considerate.

VERY DISAPPOINTING

We’ve just had 9 nights at this site and were grateful to leave. This site is in the centre of woodland. The single track road to the site is long, full of potholes with insufficient passing places which are used for the fishermen to park their vehicles! We had our hearts in our mouths dreading any oncoming vehicle. Because it is solid woodland little to no sunlight manages to come through so sitting outside in the sun on the majority of pitches is pointless. The majority of pitches are under the trees and when the rain comes as it so often does in Cumbria it forces the trees to drop their leaves and branches onto the caravan. The site is very hilly and the pitches are located in various little bays. Having said all that the site wardens were pleasant and the facilities clean. Would I go back or recommend this site. NO

Great base

Stayed for 2 nights at this lovely peaceful site. Friendly and efficient welcome from the wardens. Facilities very clean. Great base to explore the Lakes and the Arnside area. We enjoyed a meal at the nearby Strickland Arms and enjoyed the walk along the river from the site. Will definitely revisit when exploring around here as it’s very convenient.

Tight access to some pitches

Booked to stay as stop over from Scotland trip, access road very poor condition, pleasant reception from staff, were on a hard standing non awning pitch, access was tight with only about 6 inches of space between back of caravan and bank, not enough room in front for car to manoeuvre caravan, no motor mover so had to manually spin caravan on pitch. Slightly off level side to side but unable to use ramps due to not being able to move caravan. Site very quiet, facilities clean but could have been more of for size and spread of site. Have to watch out for Wardens speeding around site on electric golf cart. Speed bumps only to half of roadway. Access times important due to access road. Would visit again

Fantastic Stay

What a lovely hidden gem. We were blessed with lovely weather but also had a great pitch in a secluded spot. The walk by the river is gorgeous and the wardens could not have been more friendly or helpful. One point though, on the exit from the site people had dropped dog poo bags, I just cannot understand why decent people would do this, one nearly did a lot of damage to our puppy who had to be taken to the vets for emergency treatment. Again the wardens could not have helped us more. A wonderful stay and we will definitely be going back, but depressing to think that a minority of folk can behave irresponsibly.

A wonderful welcome

We arrived to spend just a couple of nights to check out our new vehicle and received a first class welcome from the staff. Our first visit to this site and it did not disappoint, lovely clean facilities, a quiet forest setting with lovely walks around for our dog . The only downside is there is no kids play area, a forest play trail would be good.

Excellent site with some serious downsides

A beautiful site with a layout very different from the usual regimented pitches. Friendly, helpful, staff and good facilities. But there are some downsides. Despite being in the ‘silver’ Wi-Fi category, the service was, in fact, hopeless. We (and we were by no means alone) didn’t manage to connect once in ten days, despite drawing the attention of staff to the problem. The TV connections on our EHU were both broken. But far, far, more serious, was the almost total disregard of the 5mph speed limit (even, I’m afraid to say, by members of staff in their electric buggies). Our pitch was adjacent to a site roadway and it was not at all unusual to see vehicles travelling at speeds in excess of 15mph (and on at least three occasions at a speed I calculated to be in excess of 20mph). This pitch (and others like it) would have been extremely dangerous for anyone with children. There are a few ‘sleeping policemen’ on site roads but by no means enough. I have been a Club member for 35 years and this is just about the worst site speeding I have ever seen. The Club really needs to do more to curb this dangerous behaviour.

Magic

Yet another visit to Kendal Club Site. As always a warm welcome was at hand on arrival. Within ten minutes we were pitched and unpacking. A wonderful site for a quiet and relaxing stay in a woodland. You can do as much or as little ad you want, knowing that you are only ten minutes from Kendal, for all the things you could need. The old works are visible and plenty of information about it can be found in the information room, or on line. The staff were always at hand for any questions or problems you may have. I had a wee problem and thanks to Jo for sorting it out. Will be back…..

Lovely site

Lovely site with pitches set in a wooded hillside, especially beautiful as the bluebells and wild garlic were in bloom when we visited. Nice clean facilities.

Beautiful bluebells

We stayed here at the end of April when the bluebells were in bloom in the woods and it was absolutely beautiful. Our pitch was in sunshine from 10am in the morning to 6.30 at night and in a little hollow out of the wind. You can walk in a different direction each day without needing to use your car- we walked along the river to Kendal, along the disused canal to Levens Hall and through the fields to Sizergh Castle. A walk to see the sunset on Scout Scar is also recommended. Had a good meal at the Strickland Arms , only 15 minutes walk away, and the farm shop at Sizergh barn is great. The warden (Peter) even drove round to bring our gate key to our friend's pitch as we had gone straight round there on arrival without giving them our pitch number- service with a smile!
