Great week

Spent 5 nights after recommendation to try with 2 dogs in our caravan. Everything I was told was spot on very clean easy to book in pitches needed minimal levelling and all the staff were pleasant and helpful. Had such a nice time we booked another week while there and will be using many times in the future. Can't go wrong.

Awkward Campers!

We have stayed at Meathop Fell site many times and it never disappoints. Spotlessly clean toilets and other washing facilities, grounds and pitches are immaculate and wardens are cheerful and friendly. We booked in for twelve nights as there is lots to do in the local area. Everyone in our section of the site were quiet and friendly so we watched with interest when an elderly couple pulled up one Sunday afternoon. Being the end of the weekend there were a few empty pitches and the gentleman chose his then ‘ bagged’ a second pitch with a sun chair. His wife informed him he couldn’t reserve pitches but he ignored her. As the site filled into the afternoon and more and more pitches got taken we could see people driving past the ‘reserved’ pitch. Eventually a warden arrived and very politely explained that reserving pitches was not allowed. The gentleman argued his point, it was for his daughter, then moved the chairs and threw them on the ground. As the warden walked away he shook his fist aggressively. We were shocked at such uncalled for behaviour but to make matters worse, that evening when daughter arrived her dad gave his side of the story and proceeded to blame the people who finally got the pitch calling them rather un tasteful names at the top of his voice. We decided not to complain as if you are going to be so ignorant at this age there is no Hope. Bad form sir and shame on you! A big well done though to the Warden who dealt with this perfectly. You guys do a great job to ensure our stay at Caravan and Motorhome Club sites are consistently good and do not deserve this type of behaviour even if it was behind your back.

Avoid the play area and take blocks

Great site. Amazing staff, so helpful. It is a great location to explore the Lake District. Take blocks with you as some pitches are very uneven, The site does have some but better to be prepared. If you don’t have children avoid the pitches near the play area, very noisy. The walk to Grange is easy and very enjoyable. The hotel near the site serves very good food and is extremely Covid aware.

Lovely site. A few hints and tips for wheelchair users

A lovely campsite with lovely warm welcoming wardens. Having just come a camping and caravaning site and not being spoken to by the wardens for the whole 6 days we were there is was very welcome and the difference in both standards and customer service was extremely noticeable. The sites nice and quite and great for families. A few hints and tips for wheelchair users. It's a little hilly so I would suggest booking either a serviced pitch or a standard pitch without awning as these are the flattest. In my opinion the hills aren't to bad and even pushing up from the plat park wasn't a problem. Easy access to a number of attractions in the area. The steam train, boat and motor museum all wheelchair accessible. We look forward to returning soon.

Little Gem

Decided to book this site on a last minute basis as our neighbour was have work done to his driveway. Managed to book a hard standing pitch on the Tuesday morning to arrive in the afternoon (we don’t live far away). Set off to arrive between 4pm and 5pm but unfortunately there had been an accident and the main road was closed, so we had to divert round via Windermere which meant it was really busy. The wardens from the site tried to call but I unfortunately missed the call. We arrived about 6.30pm but despite the late arrival one of the wardens came out and opened up the office so we could get our pitch. The warden suggested a couple of pitches that were free but as my wife is a wheelchair user we decided to go on the tarmac area. The pitch was easy to get to and level. This is a lovely little site with good views, nice clean toilets, two good dog walking areas. The access road is not too bad and the fact that there is no barrier at the entrance didn’t seem to be an issue. The Woodlands hotel next door is very good for food and drinks and not too bad a walk ( I managed it pushing my wife in a wheelchair with the dog as well). Would definitely return to this site.

Second stay this year at Meathop, never disappointed.

Approach road to site good, high maintenance levels on site apparent and very pleasing to the eye. Staff very helpful and communication of current restrictions clear and simple. Toilets and wash rooms spotless with good availability, water and waste points well managed and situated. Pitch access excellent for my large outfit and 2 enclosed dog friendly areas. A great example of a good club site 😊 will return.

Lovely location, lovely staff

Lovely views and a lovely clean site. Wardens really helpful. Some of the pitches are a struggle to get level. Arrivals are from 13:00 here, I imagine it is due to a tricky single track approach road so departures need to clear first. This could perhaps be made a little clearer with an additional message from the club maybe to avoid anyone missing the detail. There is a wonderful little area being built among the trees which children love!

Great Site

Great site. Made to feel very welcome by all staff. All very friendly and pleasant. No problems with checking in. Nadine very helpful when we wanted to extend our stay, yes we had to change pictures but that wasn’t a problem. Site kept clean and tidy. Help yourself fresh herb garden by reception. Toilets, showers and laundry room always very clean. Bins and recycling emptied regularly. Pitches available for all sizes of tourers. Very peaceful site. Good size pitches, not all are level so would recommend taking levelling blocks. Nice walk into Grange over Sands. Woodlands restaurant, bar 5 mins walk from site. Peaceful site. Good base as there is plenty to do in South Lakes for all ages Road to site is a single track road so I would recommend sticking to earliest arrival time of 1 o’clock. Will definitely be back.

July visit

The facilities were all spotless throughout our week long stay. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. It's a great site, depending on the pitch you're on. We moved after our first night to pitch 82, which is level, spacious and has great views across open countryside. We couldn't understand why some pitches were on what looked like a tarmac carpark. We felt that some of the piches, including the one we used for our first night, could be made level (side to side) without a great deal of work. The location is great for the southern part of The Lakes.

First and last time here

Booked this site as there are grass pitches. But did not expect the excuses for a pitch. its about time the club sorted these out. We could not get to level up at all. So we left our unit while we spoke to the warden on duty and said we would try a hardstanding. Chose a pitch and collected our key and collected our van off the so called grass pitch. when we got our chosen pitch another person was on it even though we had the key. So back to the miserable warden who said she didnt think we wanted that pitch and said you have to put something on the pitch to reserve WE HAD THE KEY. Eventually found a hardstanding at the other end of the site. There are very few level pitches and for people with walking problems its not suitable, Also why is there no secure barrier. Anyone can drive into the site. I saw several instances and no one checking who they were.
