 Lovely welcome. Great facilities. Very fresh and clean.

Designated enclosed dog run was great.

Very quiet camp.

Perfect for a quiet walking getaway.

Dog friendly pub five minute walk away with good food and takeaway service if required.

Reviewer: Paulmold 115 reviews from this member

 Quite large site but doesn't feel it as arranged into alcoves and small sections. Some look like a small carpark but the advantage is flat level pitches.

Aerial boosters on bollards but for first time we had more channels without than with.

Didn't use facilities as prefer our own in current Covid climate but had to give rating so gave a 10.

Three miles from Grange over Sands which is lovely town with long promenade to walk with beautiful gardens the entire length.

Town itself has more than first impression. Parking by Health Centre is cheapest ever come across at £1. 20 for whole day (follow signs for coaches).

 This was our first visit to Meathop Fell. We were a little worried about the approach roads but it turned out to be fine as we followed the directions on the CMC website.

We didn’t have much choice of pitch as we arrived quite late and the few remaining pitches were very sloping. It took quite a considerable effort to level the van from side to side.

The toilet block was good and was kept clean and tidy. We found the area very interesting and enjoyed exploring the surrounding towns and villages.

We walked up to the nearby hotel for a drink one evening where they have a little bar area open to non residents.

On the whole we enjoyed the weekend but the sloping pitches have put me off going back. 


Popular Choice in this Area

Fisherground Campsite - Eskdale

Nestling in the beautiful Eskdale Valley close to Scafell, England's highest mountain and Wastwater, this site is a children's paradise in the heart of the Lake District. The first thing that meets you on arrival is the pond, fed by a stream and usually full of children paddling and playing on tyre rafts. The playground has zip wires, climbing frames, tyre rope-swings and adventure courses.

Grass pitches (some with EHU) for tents, motorhomes, VW-sized campervans (no caravans). Refurbished toilets, showers and laundry. Peace is the watchword on the campsite - catering mainly for families and couples with silence after 10.30pm. Don't forget your marshmallows - campfires are allowed in selected areas. Nearby shop and pub. And there's an added extra: the site sits along the route of the Ravenglass and Eskdale Steam Railway line, with it's own station. Choo Choo! Find out more here

Date of Visit: June 2019 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Nights stayed: 5 Travelling as:  Family with young children
Reviewer: Brucie76 5 reviews from this member

 A very clean site with a great treasure hunt for the kids. It is a Caravan and Motorclub site which having a trailer tent we weren't members.

Even the staff member checking us in winced when we came to settle the check in bill but that's what you get for not being a member!

A pretty level site with plenty of water/electric points and clean loos (probably because everyone else had caravans with their own facilities).

Will go back after saving up.

 The site is divided into a number of one-way 'loops' with all the facilities and reception in a central area close to the entrance. The shrubs mentioned in the Club description are trees around the around the outside of the loops, blocking views of the surrounding scenery.

As the site is on a hillside a lot of the pitches are quite an uphill walk to the facilities - there is a car park next to them and like many others we used our car to get there.

Staff were very helpful and friendly, facilities were excellent and the site is well-placed for visiting the coast and south Lakes.

Dog-walking is off-site in the local lanes, which were generally safe and quiet. There is also a wooded area opposite the site entrance.

Reviewer: Brucie76 5 reviews from this member

 You get what the campsite says. This is not a countryside retreat, it doesn't advertise itself as that.

There is noise and the website does mention that, but you're camping about 30min walk from Oxford centre, 10mins on the bus.

The staff could not be more friendly and helpful if they tried, even to the point where they take you to the pitch and pop by later to ensure you settled, all on pushbike (that's sooooo Oxford!).

Toilet block a little dated but clean.

Reviewer: Julesmalc 9 reviews from this member

 A beautifully laid out site, just a short distance from the M6 motorway. The approach to the site is easy, if somewhat narrow. Once in the site, it opens into a large parking area for new arrivals.

There is plenty of room between pitches, the one we chose was surprisingly level, considering we were at the bottom of a short hill. There is a small information centre on site, which also incorporates a book/dvd lending library.

The shower/toilet block are excellently fitted out and were always spotlessly clean and tidy. I thoroughly recommend this site, it is in the perfect location for exploring the southern lakes area, and would certainly return if I visit that part of the country in future.
