 Stayed here for two nights on our way down south. Nice site with tremendous toilet facilities. Good pitches with room between them. Lots of mature trees so maybe would be a good idea to see which way the sun falls on a particular pitch before settling down. Site seemed quite busy for the time of year, however everybody was on hardstanding pitches and the grass pitches remained empty.
Good information room with lots of leaflets.
We had a day out to the little model village just outside Grange Over Sands and then went on to visit the Motor Museum which my husband loved, the museum had a great tearoom which served really decent food at good prices, would recommend this for a day out.
We would return to this site for a longer visit as there is so much to see in the area, however this would also be a great overnight stop site as it is so near the M6.

Straight forward drive, sat nav directions spot on. Very narrow long lane on the approach, lots of passing areas along the way. We arrived just after 12 along with everyone else it seemed. It was raining and all the tree free pitches had been taken. We managed to get on one of the few hard standing pitches left. There were several people who arrived after us who had to pitch on grass. Lots getting stuck and churning up the grass, what a mess, we felt sorry for the wardens who had to push and pull some caravans out of the mud as the pitches were vacated they were closed. This is the first site we have visited were there are awning and non awning pitches. What happens if people who have booked a no awning pitch, pitch on an awning pitch? The shower block was probably the best I have visited, plentiful and very new. Good phone and wifi signal (3 network)
Great base for getting around. Grange-over-sands is small, has a lovely park. Morecombe was wet and windy. Kendal very busy main street, lots and lots of shops. Visited Cartmel to get some sticky toffee pudding, called in the Cavendish arms (dog friendly) for lunch, lovely staff and very nice lunch. What a charming town even has its own racecourse. The finale to our week was a visit to Tarn Hows, absolutely stunning, the drive over was a little scary(very narrow roads) but definitely worth it.

Booking was easy enough, site is well sign posted and not too far off the A590, the access road is a bit steep in one place but not a problem.
The site itself is superbly organised, check-in was great and all the staff were amazing - helpful, chatty, friendly and interested !
The site was the best I've been on so far, clean, tidy throughout, nice pitches and a new amenities block which was clearly well looked after and very clean. Everything worked. There is a well thought out site shop thoughtfully stocked with everything you could reasonably want (the local bacon and sausages were great!)
Have no fear with this one - its a great site with great staff.

Caravan Club site so second to none for facilities, cleanliness, pitches. However, Caravan Club site fees expensive and increasingly uncompetitive, especially in high season. No security barrier at this site so caravans need to be secured with a clamp. Road to the site is bumpy and narrow with a steep slope at the end. Important arrival and departure times are adhered to or problems if two caravans meet.
Nice area, it's The Lakes but don't forget the Morecambe Bay coast as well. Lovely walks nearby at Hampsfell, Humphrey Head, Whitbarrow, Cartmell & Grange Promenade with its views over to Arnside & across the bay.
Grange is a three mile drive with a Spar, Coop, Bargain Booze, chippy/take aways and banks.

Newly refurbished toilet block plenty of showers never had to wait. Very clean and well maintained site, wardens very helpful and pleasant. Pitches roomy, some require levelling blocks. Tv and mobile reception good. Play area near bottom of site.
Nice short walk to pub serving meals. Site shop sells basics and you can order papers. Good information hut with 2 phone booths. Local shops and small supermarket in Grange, room for motor homes in car parks.
A good base to explore the many nearby attractions, Low Sizbergh farm shop great for local produce and a meal, then a look around.
Only problem is approach road to caravan site, its narrow and people will insist on leaving after 12 and arriving early despite instructions not to.

We have just returned from this great site. We stayed for a week and the site has every facility you could want.
The new toilet and shower block is super and everything is so clean and tidy. The wardens are really friendly and accommodating.
There is a pub/hotel just outside the site which has a nice restaurant and is also dog friendly in the bar area which is really handy to pop in whilst walking the dog.
The pub landlord is friendly and very efficient. There is only one thing to tell you you will need a torch after dark as walking back from the pub can be quite daunting if you don't. You can't see a hand in front of you if its a non moonlit night.
You are only ten minutes away from Grange which is a nice little village which has a co-op and spar shop for any groceries, Will be back as soon as we can.

Spent 4 days at Meathop Fell and found it to be an excellent site,
Facilities are second to none and suitable for everyone toddlers to disabled,
There are a lot of comments about the access to the site but if you take care and arrive after 12:00 it is easy enough,
The site is very rural with hard standing and grass pitches split in to several areas some are on sloping ground and need care to get your van level, we had pitch 128 as we have a big van this pitch is level and needs no blocks. Satellite reception depends again on where your pitch is as there are a lot of trees on site,
The park has a good play area and is ideal for family's,
Great location for visiting local attractions and the lakes,
All in all we enjoyed our visit and would go again if in that area.

Spent 6 nights here at the end of March. Excellent site, well laid out, with decent sized pitches. Excellent Loos and Showers and pleased to see that the Showers are not the push button type! The site was almost full, but no queues for showers etc.
Site very well maintained and Wardens friendly and helpful. A mobile Fish and Chip van visit, but we didn't use this. Site shop very well stocked, and you can order a daily Newspaper.
A very quite Site, and popular with older couple, but this may have been due to the time of year.
Certainly a Site we will return to at sometime.
The final approach to the site is by a narrow Road, but I didn't find this an issue.

First time visit to this club site and will certainly be coming back. Whilst this is a large site it is well laid out in various sections and is very quiet and peaceful.
New toilet block and showers are immaculate and even though it was busy due to half term never had to wait and it was always clean. Wardens are friendly and there if you need them.
Walked unto the woodlands hotel a couple of times for a drink with our children and they are very welcoming.
Had a meal at the pheasant inn just through grange over sands and this was excellent, warm welcome and very good food, again very welcoming of children.
Overall fab week on a fab site in a great location.

We spent a long weekend at this site in October and were very lucky to have cold but dry weather and even got outside with the cadac for a couple of breakfast and even one evening meal!
The last mile on approach to the site is single track really, there are passing points but I don't know how well really big outfits would get on if meeting head to head. The site is strict about departure and arrival time to try and stop any opposite direction head to head meetings. However it is well worth the journey, as the site is lovely! There are some pitches that have particularly amazing views but all pitches are very nice. The whole site has a very country woodland feel about it and we enjoyed many an hour watching the birds and squirrels playing around the van.
There is a hotel just a few mins up the road which advertised a bar menu however we didn't try it.
The site facilities are up to the usual very acceptable caravan club standards and were kept lovely and clean and warm during our stay.
Loads to do in the area, in fact too much to mention. Grange over sands itself is a lovely town, a walk along the sands is highly recommended.
