Just as good on our return visit

This was our second visit to this site which is in an ideal location for either the Lakes or the Dales. Last time we explored the Lake District, but this time went into the Yorkshire Dales each day. We enjoyed the the woodland paths on our early morning dog walks, the wardens are extremely helpful and the whole site is kept spotless. One negative point is the road humps (as mentioned in another review). One other downside was the lighting leading from the one loo block late at night. I was returning from the block at 10pm, and I had foolishly forgotten to take a torch. One of the lights on a junction of the paths was not working and I somehow managed to go down the wrong track. It took me about 10 minutes to get my bearings, but for a woman, in a dark wood, in total darkness, at 10pm it was quite scary! I reported the faulty light to a warden the following warden who promised it would be fixed.

Blasted road humps!

Kendal. Fantastic site, fantastic staff, fantastic facilities. Brilliant walks for the dog and wonderful photo opportunities. Just Fantastic apart from the road humps/sleeping policemen. They are the worst we have ever encountered on any site. I apologise to the queue that built up behind me when we left but there was no way other than to crawl over the blasted things. On the way in the van jumped over the first set which gave me a clue. I was doing no more than 5 to 7 mph. When we opened the van the fire alarm has fallen off the wall, three lockers were open (they had been firmly shut) and the cover over the sink was on the floor. They are too high and far too many of them. I appreciate that speeds need to be low but these things cause damage. Please review their siting.

Peace and quiet!

It was our first visit, and it was excellent! Staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for us. We chose a nice spot in a clearing. Excellent fish and chips on the Friday evening! We enjoyed our walks down by the riverside, watching the heron, dippers and a quick glimpse of a kingfisher! The only minor downside (nothing to do with the site), was that there was no pub in the local village! We will certainly be back next year!

Jobsworth staff but beautiful site

We initially loved this beautiful site.  It's truly idyllic and we overlooked the fact the people were allowed to arrive at 10.20. Mostly the staff are friendly. The site is very quiet as it's mid autumn which added to the peace and quiet.  All was perfect until we came to leave.  Granted we were an hour late as I had to feed our 5 month old baby- babies don't understand rules! As we were just about to hook up at 1.15 an older female member of staff appeared to advise that we were late leaving and that if we had a problem we should advise the staff! I apologised and tried to explain that we were late due to our little one but she merely said that the rules apply to everyone regardless! I don't consider my little one needing to be fed a problem and as the site was so quiet we didn't feel the need to rush to tell the staff that we would needed a little longer on site! we consider the attitude to be unaccomodating and unwelcoming - a very upsetting end to an otherwise pleasant stay.  We were saddened by the whole experience and left feeling very unwelcome.

Kendal site

After reading some of the reviews we had doubts about booking but we are so glad we did. The site was absolutely perfect,yes some areas don't get much sun as some reviews stated but for goodness sake you are in a WOODLAND,lots of trees,yes?? Facilities are spotless, staff extremely friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Fantastic walks with beautiful scenery. We will definitely be returning!

Kendal Site

Just arrived home after a two weeks stay at this site, and can say that it is extremely peaceful, and set in a good location for access to all the Lake District. Facilities were kept spotlessly clean, but could benefit from an additional block, as there is a bit of a walk to them from various pitches on site.  If we were to complain about anything, it would be the fact that the internet access is extremely poor as we found out after making our online payment which turned out to be a total waste of money. However, that said we would gladly return again sometime in the future.

just loved it there!

Great site, nice and secluded with large pitches. Toilets and showers spotless. Finally a big thank you to the team that run the place and made our stay so enjoyable. Great sense of humour (which they needed to deal with us). Would highly recommend it. Nick and Annmarie Keown

Great for doggie people

This was our 4th stay on this lovely site. There are lovely walks from the site and there's lots of history here too. If you have children with you, it rather depends on your interests whether you'll find anything to do on site with children but if you're into nature, it's ideal. Don't expect to have much of a 'phone or TV signal though. We eventually found a pitch with a signal but it wasn't strong enough to get a TV picture. We didn't have a TV in our old van but it's a case of if you have it you'd like to be able to use it. Maybe a bit of tree topping in certain areas would be a good idea! We'll be back again though I'm sure as there's always a warm welcome here.

My favourite site of them all.

This is my favourite site of them all so far. I stay here very often at weekends, but do stay down the road during the week at Meathop fell as the pitch fees and half price, shame low park wood ( Kendal site) doesn't do the same, as I would be all the time. The ONLY down side to this site is the amount of rock pegs I bend putting an awning up... the ground is solid, and boy do I get frustrated. The walks are endless, and a great walk into Kendal and back covers a whole day. Wardens are great, and a brilliant field across the bridge for any dog walkers. Love this place.
