Lukewarm welcome

A surprisingly lucky warm welcome from a relief (I think) warden. Pitch was pre-allocated because I was ‘late’ (6pm) - I have no problem with that especially as I knew where it was from a previous visit. No site leaflet offered. No mask wearing by warden (I know this is not compulsory but would have thought that this would encourage visitors/members to wear them too!). A shame that I wasn’t informed that the ehu bollard was out of order in one side (other side in use) so has to search for another - the closest being on a higher terrace and out of visible line of sight from my pitch. I’ve stayed here before and have mixed opinions - the location is great, very convenient for a stopover or longer stay but can’t say that I’m a fan of the layout with some small/tight pitches.

Kendal site

The approach road to the site is a disaster single track with cars parked in the passing places, large potholes in the single track road unavoidable if you want to keep your outfit on the road, in my view unsuitable for 8 ft caravans. The staff on the site are helpful but could have been more transparent about the difficulties for access and egress for larger outfits when booking. Once on the uneven high level tree lined pitch the place is calm and peaceful, but with little light and no views. The toilets and wash up facilities are clean and well maintained but a good hike from the pitch. Unfortunately not a good experience and will not return.

Lovely Site in Woodland Location

Low Park Wood is a magnificent setting for this spacious site by the River Kent not far from the M6. The welcome is as friendly as we expect on Club sites and the wardens are helpful and efficient. It's a large site with various clearings with pitches grouped together. Many of the pitches are sloping and should really be levelled out. There are various walks from the site although in wet weather some tracks can get muddy. It's quiet although there is a little noise from the A591, and you can hear trains on the East Coast Mainline at night. It would be nice if there were a second MWP as you have to drive out of the site and back in to use it. If you like nature this is the site for you. My one major criticism is that the entry road to the site is very narrow and would be a nightmare if two outfits met. Sad to say I've seen many members not obeying the rules about 1 o clock arrival and 12 departure with some turning up after 12. Not a good show.

New favourite Lake District site

After a 10 year gap we decided to revisit the Kendal site. We've been going to Coniston the last few years but couldn't get in this summer. Absolutely loved this site. Best welcome we've ever had at any of the club sites. With two older boys there was the freedom for them to play by the river, in the woods and go biking. Excellent shaded pitch which was great first half of the week when it was very hot but no so great when it rained in the second half. Had some noise from young people having late night parties across the river on the hot weekend. Swimming, alcohol and drugs not a great combination but we were grateful they all went home safely. Despite that we'll definitely be back.

Probably the best site !

We visit the site regularly as only a few hours drive. Fantastic walks with inviting woodland setting keeps us returning with our dogs. This is one of our favourite sites. Wonderful layout with a sense of space and freedom. Over the last year, no fault of the wardens or Club, we have noticed more dogs running around off leads. Dog mess NOT PICKED UP by owners, dogs out of control and barking at what or who ever passes by. Owners of the dogs seem oblivious and do nothing. We have 2 dogs that travel with us, so its no get at the dog owners. Kids play in the woods in and around the site, so the constant dog mess is not only dangerous to these children but is now spoiling the walks, dodging the mess, that we often pick up and correctly dispose of. Inconsiderate members/people are starting to ruin the experience. Also many blue NON awning pitches are on the whole pitched up with awnings out, taking up their neighbours pitch space. Why? What is the point of having these blue peg pitches if no one follows rules & wardens fail to even approach these people to remove awnings from other neighbouring pitches. We saw an older couple being very nervous about someone who was in a blue pitch next to them. They had to squeeze their unit in and park car across their pitch to accommodate an awning that shouldn't be there. The Club needs to mae members aware PLEASE.

Tranquil woodland haven

Stayed 3 nights here and all aspects met club standards. Good sized pitch for our 6.35m van with room for canopy and more. Warm welcome from staff who met new arrivals and got everyone processed efficiently and timeously. Relaxed attitude to choosing your pitch with the advice to drive round as many times as you’d like before making final choice. Weather on the whole good - trees provided natural shelter from the light rain showers. Plenty of opportunities for us to explore the area on foot and/or bike. Lovely riverside and Forest walk. walkAn ideal spot to break your journey if travelling north/south or vice versa. Low rating for good for families as this didn’t apply to us but am sure the families we saw there were enjoying themselves.

Excellent site staff and facilities.

This site is in a beautiful setting by the side of a lovely river with a mixture of pitches which can be in either sunny spots shade or dappled shade. Upon arrival the friendly staff guide you into a well managed holding area for reception and booking in and you are given a selection of pitches to choose from. Everything is well maintained and clean and in our 10 day stay every member of staff we encountered were friendly knowledgeable about the local area and happy to help us with any of our questions. There is an excellent farm shop a 10 minute walk from the site and plenty to do within walking distance in the area too or jump on a bus get a taxi or just drive into kendal which is 5 miles away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this site and highly recommend it 10 out of 10.

Wooded, peaceful campsite

This is a lovely campsite very wooded and shady, you can walk to local farm shop that also has a cafe. Also a walk along the river which is beautiful with waterfalls and very unspoiled. Some form of transport would be useful if staying several days. However the approach road is particularly narrow and severely potholed ( I don’t know why this is not rectified) . Also it can be difficult to find a free pitch as the site is divided up into little cul de sacs which makes it tricky to locate a pitch.

Short break.

This CAMC site maintains the high standard you'd expect. Access is clearly described but is down quite a long single file drive. Although it's quite a big site it's separated into small groups of pitches so feels secluded. The walk across fields to Sizergh Castle is well marked and passes a high quality farm shop. The walk along the river into Kendal is longer but very pleasant. There's a site TV aerial feed, but it's not maintained so not all pitches actually work. ( Our own aerial picked up a signal.)
