 We visited this site with our touring caravan late last year. We have previously visited this site on several occassions with our tent.
The site has excellent facilities, including a small pub, shop, and games area where you can also order food to eat in or take away.
The food prices are reasonable and the menu is quite nice. Came in very handy when we visited with the tent when I was pregnant and feeling quite fussy about food and was craving for a pizza (not easy to cook on a BBQ).
We have stayed on two tenting areas. One opposite where the wardens stay, and the other was to the rear of the site. Both were lovely.
When we came with the caravan recently we found the staff really helpful in helping you pitch and cycling round keeping an eye out.
There is a strict 'No Noise' policy (like other C&C club sites) which came in handy for us with the children as you really don't want to be kept awake late at night.
We love this site. It is ideally situated in location, has great views, and very helpful friendly staff.
We can't wait for it to open for the season again this year so we can visit again.

Great site. We booked to go for halloween weekend with two other families. We had a Great pitch with electric hook up and plenty of space. The toilet and shower block were clean.
We didn't use the washing up and laundry room although I was led to beleive these where very adequate.
The shop was very small but provided the basics but there is a local supermarket at either windermere or kendal. (although I sent my husband and didn't see him again for over 1 hour and half!)
The site has a restaurant which we ate at on the Friday, the meals where nice and the childrens portions where very generous. Attached is a pub. My only critism is that they only take cash or cheque. There is no card facilities at the restaurant. (although I am led to believe that from next year they will accept card.)
We really enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic site. We booked it on the last minute & we were not disappointed. We had a lovely pitch with electric hook up& had plenty of space on our pitch even with a large tent. The toilet & shower block were spotless (like being at home) as were the washing up & laundry room.
There is a small play area for the children & plenty of room to make friends &play. There is a very small shop with basics & an ice pack service (40p per pack). There is a Booths at Windermere. They have a small pub which closes at 10.30pm & a family room for evening meals which are fantastic. Shame we only ate in there on our last night. The site is kept beautifully & all the staff are helpful & very friendly. There is coarse fishing available almost next door to the site & you can buy day passes from the b.P garage.
You are about 10 minutes drive from Windermere & Bowness with all the tourist attractions. If you are looking for entertainment or late noisy nights then this is not the site for you. Only the owls to be heard after 9.30pm. Bliss. Will definitely be returning

We recently bought a tent as a family of 4 and to be honest just made a quick decision to visit Windermere Camping and Caravanning Club Site. I just wanted to say that we couldn't have picked a nicer place. The staff were wonderful and so helpful, taking us personally to our pitch and answering any questions we had. Right opposite our tent pitch there was a 'Campers Retreat', which was a lovely immaculately clean log cabin with stainless steel sinks and worktops for the campers to wash up and prepare food in, also there was a table to sit at and eat if you so wished. The showers were not very far away and they too were immaculately clean and heated with lovely warm water. There is a cafe with a snooker table in which served nice food and a separate bar where children are not allowed, but that wasn't a problem as you could get a drink and take it outside anyway. Last but not least, the play area. This was really good with big wooden structures for the kids to play on and we spent several hours playing hide and seek there. The setting of the site is perfect and although we weren't really there long enough to go on any walks, it goes without saying that there are plenty of lovely walks in the surrounding area. I would really reccomend this site to everyone and hope to visit again soon, weather permitting of course.

Stayed two nights - 2 Adults here and all I can say is friendly, clean, VERY quiet - what more could we ask for???
Oh yes, the two chaps who guided us to our pitch on bikes unhooking our caravan and locating it on pitch for us - felt bad for not giving them a tip.!
Shower and toilet facilities were the best I have seen in ages.
The pub (Whistling Pig) is rather small, but quaint - quite adequate for the site I would say.
SUPER SITE - we will be returning.!

An excellent site, large, but well laid out giving a feeling of it being much smaller, as it is broken up by trees and areas of different heights.
Three excellent toilet blocks which were maintained to a high standard even though the site was almost full over the period of our stay. Never a problem getting a shower and an excellent laundry room and dish washing facilities.
A small shop selling the essentials and barrier control for security.
There's a bar, something that would normally make us avoid a site, but there was no noise or disruption at all and the site was quiet overnight.
A play area which the kids loved but this is out of the way and can not be seen from any of the pitches, an advantage or disadvantage depending on your circumstances!
The site is mainly set up for caravans with loads of hard standing pitches and the number of tent pitches does appear limited, especially those with electric hook ups, so would recommend booking to be safe.
Had a great four nights here despite HEAVY rain but the site is well drained and this caused no problems.
Only a short drive from Kendal and Windermere so a great spot to explore the South Lakes from. Situated away from the main road so no traffic noise at all. One of the best sites we have visited and so we would highly recommend. We will be back again, the kids didn't want to leave.

I love this site, we left our caravan here, from September to January. Its a large site, with good facilities, and seems to be popular with all ages. Its not far from the main road into Windermere and Bowness, and has a security barrier and small pub.
We even stayed here on New years eve, where they had a marque and disco, which was great for the kids, and they even got some presents of Santa. The only thing that lets this site down from a family point of view is that the park isn't very good, and is well hidden so it makes it hard to be able to keep an eye on the children without having to actually stand behind them.
The owners and wardens all come across as helpful, but at busy times, you have to be off your pitch in time as there is usually somebody waiting to get straight on after you. TV reception isn't great on certain parts of the site, but its still one of the best in the area and value for money.

We stopped here for our first ever family camping holiday, so there were some elements of fiasco that had nothing to do with the site itself! The site's in a good location - not far off the main road but far enough for noise not to be a problem, and close to Staveley which is fast becoming a Foodie Paradise (check out the Bakery and Wilf's Cafe in particular).
The facilities on the site were top notch with a bar, children's play area and shop, and the toilets etc were faultless. Only one problem for us and it was a biggie - come the Friday Night, the site became an awful lot busier and hence noisier. It was bad luck that a large group ended up next to us, and to be fair they were asked to keep it down a bit by one of the staff - but the noise was too much and we ended up packing up and leaving despite having already paid for another night. Not the place to go for a peaceful and quiet weekend then, but then again it's a big site.

Fabulous site, very helpful staff, great shower/toilet blocks.
Location is on the edge of the lake district and so you need to travel a few miles to get to Lake Windermere and beyond.
Definitely would visit this site again, but will perhaps go nearer to Ambleside next time.

We spent six nights at this site. This campsite is very much a contrast to many other CCC sites. It is large (350 pitches) and has a bar on site. The whole site is beautifully landscaped and one gets the impression that one is on a much smaller site because it is divided into small areas. As usual, the loos and showers are superb. There are launderette facilities and drying lockers for wet walking gear. Pitches are level and well-drained, if a bit stony.
The site attracts many holiday-makers, as opposed to dedicated campers, and they don't seem to respect the 'quiet after nine' rule. Kicking out time on Friday and Saturday nights can be quite noisy.
It is a little way out of Windermere itself and there are no shops nearby, but the site shop sells the basics.
I will definitely go back to this site, despite my comments about some of the other residents, because it is almost impossible to fault in any other way.
