Beautifully cared for site in a lovely rural location

Just spent two weeks touring around CAMHC sites and chose this one at the last minute for the final few nights of our trip. So glad we did as the site is just lovely. Peaceful and relaxed with well spaced out pitches on various surfaces and levels. The staff were really friendly and helpful, especially when the water was shut off due to a leak in the area. They came around every van at 10 at night to let us know it was back on. Everything was so neat and tidy and the toilet block was in great nick. The only niggle was that a key was needed to get into the toilets and this was, as expected, left in the caravan on one or two occasions, requiring a return trip! Great wood fired pizzas from the van which is there from Thurs to Sun. For sure, one of best sites we’ve visited over our 12 years of CAMH membership.

Large Quiet Site

This is a large, quiet site, which is divided into several sections. Everywhere is spotlessly clean, with lovely grass areas between pitches. It is a little hilly, so almost anywhere you are on site you have to walk up hill to the amenity block. There are plenty of toilets and showers with hot water, and the dishwashing area is just outside the ladies. The ladies and gents are opened with a key, which you will be given when you check in. The dog walk is a large field with mown paths, whilst the rest is left long for the wild life. (Unfortunately, not all of the dog owners cleared up after their dogs, so we were doing it whilst we walked ours - shame on you rotten dog owners). There is also another area for dogs, which has poles and ramps, etc. for them, but this was even worse than the dog walk area for mess, so we didn't even go in, we just looked over the fence. There is a nice play area for children, but we didn't have children with us, so not sure how much fun it is, and dogs are not allowed in there. There is a van for hotdogs, chips, burgers, etc. The prices are quite reasonable, although we just had a couple of cans of drink as we weren't hungry. The only downside was the access. We came from Grange-over-Sands and we had to use forward and reverse several times to get the motorhome onto the road into the campsite. When coming from that direction it is an acute angle and goes uphill.

Scenic Site

Booked this site only the day before arrival and requested a pitch close to the facilities due to walking difficulties. The person on duty gave us a choice of the most suitable pitches available [thank you]. We chose a pitch opposite the toilet block under a tree. It was quiet with plenty of space around us. I noticed all the pitches were quite big so plenty of room for privacy. The toilet block was immaculate with plenty of facilities and lovely hot water. I used the disabled facility which was immaculate too. Due to the wet weather we didn't leave the site but we were quite happy sitting in our motorhome enjoying the scenery around us. We even saw a squirrel running past. Will visit this site again if we are in the vicinity.

Lovely quiet site

We had booked a fully serviced pitch which was a great size for our motorhome and awning. Site was very, very tidy and had lots of beautiful bedding plants growing in tubs, wheelbarrows etc. Toilet Block was immaculate and always plenty showers available. Good dog walking areas available on the site, nice small agility field. Lovely site to walk around and wardens have definitely added a lot of extras. Details of a few local walks were available in the information hut. Grange Over Sands is definitely worth a visit, to walk along the promenade and visit the shops. Would have liked to visit Cartmel but no buses run on a Saturday or Sunday. Not sure why caravan and motorhome club don’t have quiet times overnight like private sites. Was wakened by a neighbour at 6.15 am loading up his caravan and then moving his car to hitch up. Didn’t think twice about leaving his car running before leaving at 7am. Food van available some nights on the site.

Pleasant Break

This is the third visit to this site. It's well located for visiting the southern lakes and easily accessible from the road network. It's got a good dog walk. Nice views from the site. The pitches often need levelling blocks so go prepared. The booster system needs a connection cable. Grange over Sands is a nice place with a long pleasant promenade. It has a Coop and a Tesco Express.

This was the first site we stayed on back in March on a cold wintry day. Subsequent experiences suggest we started at or near the top - this is still one of the best sites we have stayed at with excellent modern facilities and only a short walk to a nearby hotel/pub/restarant. There were also some takeaways that could be ordered and then collected on site when we stayed. I'm sure we will be back !

So good we've booked to go back!

This is the first club site we've stayed at as we're new to caravanning and we were impressed! We've only stayed at one other site (independent) which we though was nice but Meathop Fell is a cut above! Set in beautiful surroundings the site is peaceful and relaxing. Staff are friendly and helpful, and are constantly keeping the site clean, whether it be pruning bushes or emptying bins. Our kids loved the play area and spent hours there. Toilet block is clean and plenty of showers - we never had to queue. The pizza van on-site is an added bonus too. We were gutted to come home after our stay and have booked to return in August.

Best Club Campsite visited to date!

We think this is probably the best Club Campsite we've visited thus far and have already booked for the same time next year. You're close enough to the main Lakes attractions and countryside that most things are less than 1/2 hour away but far enough away to be away from the crowds. The site is tranquil and there are excellent views over the Kent estuary over to Arnside and Silverdale. We had an end-of-way pitch which was just fantastic but still close enough to all amenities. Estuary Bistro in Grange is certainly worth a visit as is the Derby Arms in Witherslack. Trisha's on-site pizza van is also excellent. Fab site.

Excellent site

From the friendly and efficient welcome to the excellent, well-maintained site to the well positioned fully serviced pitch and sea/estuary views - everything is great on this site. We really enjoyed our stay. The facilities are spotless, the site is well laid out, with a dog walk area and also from Thursdays to Sundays a Pizza van, offering really tasty homemade pizzas. There is easy access to a local hotel with bar and restaurant open too the public. Grange over Sands is a short bike ride from the site too. Thanks to the wardens too for inviting all of the site to a Bubbles Reception to toast the Coronation of the King. Thoroughly recommend this site.

Super site, great location

We stayed several nights in March in wintry weather so the site was pretty empty. Finding the site was easy and the reception was quick & efficient. Our fully serviced pitch was in great condition, everything worked fine and we had great views over to the bay. The site generally was in good shape and looked very well maintained. As for the facilities, they were as good as we've seen anywhere. I'd guess they were modernised fairly recently, and to a high standard, and they were immaculately maintained. Overall we'd rate this as one of the nicest sites we've stayed at.
