Date of Visit: July 2015 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Cockerspadgers 58 reviews from this member

 Just returned having spent six nights at this fantastic site and would definitely return. Usual caravan club standards, clean facilities, friendly wardens, brilliant location etc. Plenty of walks direct from the site which was great for our border terrier who spent most of the walks off the lead. The walk into Kendal is particularly pleasant, walking along the riverside, lots of wildlife etc.

The only negative things which spring to mind are the approach lane (not a problem if people stick to the departure/arrival times) and the difficulty in trying to find a suitable pitch as many were dark and shaded due to the tree cover.

Wish we could have stayed longer particularly as the following weekend there was a guided tour around the site which we would have found really interesting as the site is on the old gunpowder works and there are many ruins to be seen. Never mind, will have to check on google instead.

Overall I would be happy to recommend this site.

 A warm welcome on arrival. It was a Bank Holiday Saturday!

Trying to find a suitable pitch was an experience. The site has a number of individual areas, each with 8 - 10 pitches. Some of these were occupied by groups of people sitting outside their units. This gave the impression of 'repel all boarders'. Other pitches were obstructed by families playing racquet sports. Providing a badminton net was not our idea of fun.

On the third circuit we found a pitch near the playground. Thankfully, there was no noise issue during the evening.

We noticed that several caravanners were having to 'hone their reversing skills' as they too were exploring cul-de-sacs. The warden did eventually get on his golf buggy to bring the mayhem under control.

Toilets / shower facilities were plentiful and what you would expect from a CC site.

 Another wonderful stay at this very peaceful site. A very warm welcome from friendly wardens, toilets/shower block spotless as usual.

This beautiful site is in a woodland setting with a river running through it.

A perfect base for walkers or those who wish to just chill out.

A visit to the nearby farm shop is a must.

 Thoroughly enjoyed the Kendal site. We found it all as Caravan sites in the Country to be. Large pitch within sight of others but not intruding. We understand its not to everyone's taste to park caravan under trees but it hit the spot for us. Very friendly wardens and a good shop. Brilliant walks along the River Kent and just a few miles from Kendal We had a great few days. The TV reception works well too! Can't help but recommend it! Good walk leaflets in shop too.

Reviewer: Sparkleandstar 8 reviews from this member

 This is the first time I have left a poor review for a caravan club site. I have stayed on a number and always been impressed.

The Kendal site though really needs a lot of work to bring it up to the same standard as other C/C sites. The roads around the site are in fairly poor condition. Also very narrow in some parts. Particularly the final exit before the wardens hut.

The planning of the pitches is ill thought out. With many you are reversing at a diagonal back on yourself to get into them.

While the site is a wood location, it does require maintenance to stop it becoming overgrown. Sadly this isn't taking place. The woodland weeds need to be controlled.

Most pitches I found to be very dark and depressing. A comment I heard from a number of other visitors. Perhaps some felling of older trees with a replanting program would help.

The toilets however were of the usual standard of the CC as were the wardens.

Location was good just as a stop-over. For staying in the Lakes it is too far to walk to Kendal and parking anywhere in Kendal is beyond ridiculous.

Would I return? Yes but only to use as a stop-over on my way somewhere. 


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

 An excellent three night stay here in May.

The approach road is a bit narrow in places but taken steadily and arriving/departing at right times assists greatly. Very warm friendly welcome by wardens, which continued throughout the stay, the best yet at a CC site. The speed humps are not as bad as some will have you believe just need to go very slow.

The site is quite large but the glades and dells that have the pitches make it feel very small and friendly.

Usual top quality toilet blocks x2 kept clean and tidy.

Pleasant walks direct from site, a bit far from village/town but local public transport not too far away.

Rained heavily on and off for the three days but still a lovely site and could well revisit but so many sites to visit and so little time.

 The views say it all! Tranquil site, some hard standing, some very sloping, so worth while checking pitch location in advance. An enormously warm welcome, assistance with pitching and advice and guidance, easy check-in.

Two showers in gents, two toilet cubicles and two urinals, all meticulously clean and well cared for. Heated. Some provisions in reception.

Brilliant walk along riverbank from site to industrial estate with Morrison's and Aldi, taking no more than an easy ten minutes. Five minutes drive to Kendal town centre.

 We visited this site in April 2014 and we all know what April means and that is showers, it rained for 2 days but the site was so good that the weather didn't bother us. Great site, great staff, great location. The site is on the old dynamite factory which was closed many years ago, there are still some old industrial buildings still standing that look very interesting, it is also by the side of the river Kent which is a beautiful sight when in full flood, white water canoeing also looks very good.

Reviewer: Moorlander999 11 reviews from this member

 Just returned from 3 very peaceful nights at Kendal CC. Stayed on service pitch 80. Great elevated position. Lots of recent tree felling so light has improved. Facilities are spotless, staff very helpful. Be prepared to take levelling blocks as some pitches require these. On our last day they were installing bright yellow plastic speed bumps all around the site so be careful. Remember to leave before 12( we didn't as we had been for a walk and forgot the time due to it being so peaceful) and as we were leaving met arrivals on the narrow lane - sorry- but passing places were perfectly placed ! Don't bother with the Strickland arms. We went and it was dreadful. Try Kendal. Will definitely go back, but in expect it to be very busy in summer months due to size of site and number of pitches.

Don't follow sat nav post code as it takes you down the wrong single track lane on the opposite side of the river with no turning. We saw two people do this on one day !

Reviewer: Marpleweb 4 reviews from this member

 Just back from a weekend at this site. It's our first Caravan Club site after joining recently and we were very impressed, especially with the Toilet Block / Shower facilities, which were superb.

The staff were very helpful, friendly and welcoming too.

The pitches are scattered around the woodland and it is quite hard to see exactly what's available and for some reason the map is a bit confusing (perhaps just us) so it is worth a walk around the site first to find a pitch you like.

We did the cycle ride to Grange-over-Sands and back that is featured on the CC site and it was great, if a little more hilly than described!

Strongly recommend the Hare and Hounds pub, which is a strenuous walk away but well worth the effort.
