Meathop is a spotless site easy to get to, great wardens and has been a regular for me and my wife, but also my parents who have been with the club for 20 years, I came here as a boy and have always had fond memories
with easy access to the south lakes but also being in a short journey to windemere and Kendal Etc it has everything you could want
Good location
Stayed at Meathop Fell over very wet and windy weekend 3/12 -5/12.
Well laid out site very clean shower block. Interesting places to visit not far away. .The Woodlands Hotel is within walking distance.Where you can get a drink and meal .Booking advised.Grange Over Sands 10 minutes in car .A trip on the railway is good day out .
Autumn stay
Assistant site warden extremely helpful and friendly, giving us good advice as new comers to motor-homing. Site well located and toilet and shower block exceptionally clean and modern.
Lovely weekend.
I love coming here, the site is lovely no matter what time of year, it blew a gale on Friday night but woke up on Saturday to a crisp fresh sunny day. The Woodlands pub is great for a meal or a few drinks and dog friendly. The site is always clean & tidy and the pitches are well spaced.
Meathop in the rain!
Stayed here for six nights recently, windy, wet but still very enjoyable. The facilities are first class, and so are the Wardens. Grange and Cartmel are well worth a visit. Quiet part of The Lakes with easy access to everywhere. Would avoid pitch 69 next time because it floods badly in wet weather, although it does drain away quite quickly.

Water, Water everywhere!
Booked 3 nights at Meathop Fell and very nearly cancelled prior to our visit following the very wet weather in the area. Glad we didn't as we had a very peaceful and enjoyable time. Yes the surrounding areas were under water at low level but the site was perfectly usable, the facilities are excellent spotlessly clean and the staff were friendly and helpful.

November in Grange
We come here every year in early November, last year we had frost, this year we had storms and lashing rain. It never deters us as there is so much to do even in winter and modern caravans are so cozy. This year on the recommendation from other reviewers we tried the Royal Oak at Lindale for Sunday lunch. The food was great, but the service was a little slow. It was very busy, which is always a good sign. Yet again there were problems with wifi, almost every site we go to has problems now. Usually the Wardens don't want to know, but here at Grange they couldn't have been more helpful. They contacted Air Angel who told them to re-boot the system and it worked. Surely that's all the Wardens at other sites need to do. Its a lovely train ride to Barrow, but not much to see when you are there. The Maritime Museum was closed. Parking at Grange station is reasonably priced and is secure. This time of year the site is still busy, having said that all were wrinkly's like us and in the same mind 'peace and quiet please!'
Hardstandings
We visited this site between Nov3rd to Nov 9th (a very wet week) and found our pitch to be very mossy and slippy, I slipped a few times whilst changing my water and waste barrels, some of these pitches need new gravel laying down to make them easier to walk on and safer, apart from that its a nice site.
Forgot How Nice It Was
Just visited Meathop, and we had forgotten what a little gem it is. The location is good for the lower end of the lakes. Very pretty at this time of year. Walking, visiting houses, lots of places to visit or just relaxing on site - Perfect!
Plus the wardens were very nice and the site kept well, with the added bonus of really nice warm toilet facilities
