 This is the first time we have used a caravan club site due to never being able to get in and we weren't disappointed.
The site was excellent with a host of various pitches, we arrived on the Friday and was told to pick our pitch which I thought was a fantastic idea. We chose our pitch so we overlooked the bay and quickly got set up.
Television reception is poor but the well stocked shop with friendly wardens accommodated for nearly everything and a signal booster cable was installed in minutes(why we bothered after watching England on the Saturday I will never know).
The site is next door to a hotel were you are free to drink and eat in and Grange over sands is only 3 miles away with a host of shops and pubs to cater for all. The site is well situated for touring round the lakes and a short journey takes you to Lakeside were you can board a boat and go to different places of interest.
The shower block is a little small with only 4 male showers per 90+ pitches, so be prepared to queue, I was told the site will shut this year for a major upgrade on the amenities I must say they was fantastically clean though.
All in all a fantastic site and we would return again in the near future.

This is a top quality site, well up to the usual Caravan Club standards. With several different landscaped pitching areas you never feel too crowded. Choose between views, larger gravel pitches or grass pitch when the weather is better.
Usual spotless toilets/showers.
You really have to experience some of the commercial sites in this area to realise just how good the Club site is!

Just returned from this site and I must say when comparing it to other cc sites the toilet block is a little outdated and could do with a refurb, privacy cubicles are very small and you could get wrapped up in the curtain if you are not careful.
When we arrived it was about 5-40pm (already phoned and was told they accept arrivals up to 8pm) so we booked in and went to look for a pitch on our way past the reception the warden or asst warden stuck her head out and asked us to hurry up as she was waiting to close so we picked a pitch overlooking the bay which sloped a bit but had a lovely view.
We had a day out at windermere and a boat trip cost us around £9 each for a 70min round trip or they did have cheaper ones.Spent some time in kendal which was ok if you like traffic jams (get there early or you won't be able to park).
Anyway won't be returning to this site as I have been to much nicer.

Been to this site many times as it’s an easy drive when school finishes on a Friday afternoon.
Site and toilet block are always clean and tidy. Pitches are a decent size and most are relatively level but blocks are sometimes needed. Hardstanding is hard and strong pegs are needed for an awning.
The site is well placed for visiting the south lakes and there is plenty to see and do. Keswick to the north is also do able.
As in a previous review the chip van is a nice change for a no cook meal and has quite a good choice.
During the stay we woke to snow on the Sunday morning and the wardens were as usual helpful towing vans to the top of the slopes with the tractor for those who were struggling.
We will be returning.

We stayed at this site before Christmas and again at New Year.
It snowed on 19th December and then didn't seem to stop until after Christmas. The wardens worked non stop to keep footpaths clear and to assist with getting units off pitches etc. They deserved a medal because it seemed like each time they got the snow cleared, it came back again overnight!
We have visited the site several times before and like it's charm, but the Dunkirk spirit added to the festive feeling over the holidays made this our best stay yet.
We know that the facilities are not the newest, but they are spotlessly clean and as others have said, the water is hot, hot, hot!
We will be visiting again some time during 2010 and would recommend this site to anyone looking for a quiet break in an area with a wide variety of attractions.

This is a site that we would definitely return to. It is so clean and quiet with lovely views and great area for walking and cycling. The wardens are all very friendly and they keep the whole site including the toilet block immaculate.
There are so many places to visit within a short distance. We would recommend having a meal at the Hare and Hounds in Levens Village. Open fire and friendly staff. We found it while out on our bikes one morning following the cycle route signposts but returned in the evening for a meal.
A walk along the length of the promenade at Grange is a must.

We were lucky enough to visit this lovely site during the warm sunny spell of weather. We were able to find a hard standing with some very nice people either side. The hard standings are not quite level and most people needed blocks.
The approach to the site is narrow and so it is important that departures are before 12 Noon and arrivals after 12 Noon. Typically, many people ignore this rule and this creates chaos for the wardens on busy days.
There is only one toilet block and this comes under pressure first thing in the morning with queues for the showers. The actual facilities are superb. The showers are powerful and the warning signs are correct to say that the water is very hot!
The site itself is very well maintained. The dog walk is a bit muddy but most people who walk dogs are used to this and it is no big deal.
The nearest town, Grange over Sands is a short drive. It is an attractive place with a variety of shops including an award winning butcher and delicatessen. We also ate at the Italian Restaurant that was very nice.
The site is well situated not only for exploring the Lakes but also the Northern part of Lancashire and the Yorkshire Dales.

Visited this site as our first Caravan Club site. I can't rate it highly enough. The place was spotless, the staff very helpful. The wardens where always on the go. The small shop at the site office is great and cheap too, and on a Monday and a Friday night a little chip van parks up saving you having to cook. Looking forward to many many more visits next year.

Site very busy on arrival, only a few pitches left. Unable to get satellite due to dense trees, we were down by the park. Not really a problem as you could buy a cable and hook up to digital TV, cable around £13 from shop.Not ideal but did the job.
Well kept site, wardens out every day, visible presence on site. At times a bit over fussy and rigid around rules however pleasant in their manners therefore tolerable.
Only 4 showers for around 100 pitches so be prepared to queue in the morning, again this was not a huge problem.
Local area really lovely, plenty to do but need to do a bit of driving around as well which can be a disadvantage.
Main draw back for us was no where really to let our 2 8 month old rhodesian ridgebacks have a run off the lead. Short walk within woods next to site but very muddy and not ideal at all. We found small field near site but was advised that the farmer is not keen for dog walkers even though there were no signs and the gate was open. (Found this out near end of 2 weeks so it didn't matter much).
Hotel at back of site nice but pricey. One place I would recommend would be Connisten Lake it wins over Lake Windemere especially if the weather is nice. It is ideal for boat hire, the kids can paddle, there is a wee shop, plenty dogs around too. Beware the journey there if you get travel sick.YUK! windy roads.
Would recommend the site for families as the kids are out and about site most of the day on bikes, scooters and generally have a good (noisy) time.

This is a lovely site with great views over Morecombe Bay. It has a play area for the children. You can walk to a nearby hotel that does ok food (nothing special). It is a really peaceful site in a very attractive location and I would recommend it. Lots to see and do in the area including the Lakes aquarium and boat trips to Bowness, Cartmel is a short drive away and there are some small shops (co-op) in Grange for groceries. Loos, showers etc usual CC high standard. We will return.
