 This site is ideally placed to visit both coniston and Windermere. The directions are spot on however the approach road has aken a beating very large dips and bumps so take care. Site is spot less. Toilet block excellent but for some reason club sites insist on keys to the toilet blocks which I find a pain there are no footpaths through the site so no chance of anyone not from the site using them. The site is split in two. Most younger families down by the park and those without children up the top. Pitches all of a good size with plenty of room between. The ground is very hard even after plenty of rain. Pitches are generally flat and van only required a little levelling. There is no dog walking enclosed area on site and the wooded area isn't great. The site shop orders bread and rolls from nearby bakers which was great plus newspapers, milk, eggs, bacon and other basics. We hired bikes at grizedale forest well worth a visit. We have had a great week here and would recommend for visiting the lakes.

Spent a wonderful Christmas here. Well laid out site with really good facilities.
Very friendly staff, we were invited for mince pies and drinks in the office on Christmas Eve.
Lovely pub next door with log fire, very seasonal. Good food and a warm welcome.
Quite a distance into Grange, but worth the drive (not really walkable)
Cooked Christmas dinner on the BBQ which was different. Altogether a most enjoyable Christmas.
Definitely recommended.

This was one of my favourite sites on my marathon Scottish /Lakes holiday. I stayed for one night before travelling back down the M6. I hadn't booked and they were very (genuinely) friendly and helpful and got me booked in even though it was after the office had closed. I met people who stayed there regularly who confirmed what a nice place it is.
The site is attractive, convenient for walking and visiting places of interest in the area. The toilets and showers look brand new and absolutely sparkling clean.
I called into Grange Over Sands on my way home and it is a very attractive friendly place. There was a gorgeous bakery at which I bought beautiful bread, a cake and a gift for a family member. It had an adjoining cafe and I bought a take away coffee which was really good.
Very enthusiastic about this site and have already made a decision to go back and stay for longer.

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.

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

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.
