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.
I have visited this site in December for the past four years. Its always a pleasure. The site is very well laid out and the pitch sizes generous. The toilet block has recently been re-furbished and is up to the usual caravan club standard. The facilities are spotlessly clean and there are plenty of washbasins, toilets and showers to choose from so you shouldn't have to wait. Some of the pitches have a distant view of Morecambe Bay. There is a small childs play area down at the bottom end of the site (to the right of the reception) and the reception sells some of the basics if you get caught short. The site is approx 5 mins by car from Grange over Sands which is a nice little town. If you come out of the site and turn left you can walk to the Woodlands hotel which is nice for a meal out and the bar is open to non residents also. Its a nice little old fashioned English hotel and Heidi who runs it is very friendly. They also have a real wood fire to sit by whilst having a drink.
Stayed at this site in November for two nights. The new shower and toilet block are lovely, together with this and all other aspects of this site, all is extremely well looked after by the very friendly staff, all who had time to stop have a chat. The site is laid out in several areas, some with views of the solway, others close by the children's adventure playground. 5 minutes walk to the Woodlands hotel where they serve some great food. We will definitely be returning as lots to do in the area, and close to the Lakes.
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
We visited this site in our folding camper for a long weekend. The wardens were very welcoming and the site was immaculate with plenty of generous sized pitches to choose from. The toilet and shower blocks were pristine, well up to usual CC standards. We were particularly grateful to the wardens who were most helpful when we ran out of GAZ in the middle of cooking our meal. They very kindly invited us to take our meal and finish cooking it in their office kitchen!
We also enjoyed the location, which we haven't visited before. The site was quiet and peaceful - great for relaxing. We would definitely visit again.
I agree with almost every word of at previous reviewer, great facilities, friendly helpful wardens. I would however add that the nearby Woodlands Hotel has a dog friendly bar where it is possible to eat from the restaurant menu. The food is freshly prepared and reasonably priced.
My only problem with this site is the location. Not too bad for caravanners or tent campers who can easily use their cars to travel. We had to take the motorhome out each day due to lack of public transport nearby. The walk into Grange over Sands is reasonably short at less than 3 miles but the road is narrow and used frequently by large tractors which I found a bit off putting. Otherwise an enjoyable stay on a lovely site with good views over Morecambe Bay.
Just spent 3 nights at this Club site, and although is was nearly full, it was quiet and relaxing.
The Lakes, Silverdale/Arnside and their surrounding areas are easily reachable by car, and there is also a train station at Grange over sands, which is a lovely little Town, with shops and banks for provisions and money.
The site is well planted, and the grass and shrubs are kept very well maintained. There are some sloping pitches requiring substantial chocks, but we were lucky and found a flat pitch overlooking the river Kent.
I can only assume that the shower / toilet / laundry block is brand new as the facilities are immaculate. There is also a wooden hut with two payphones and a plethora of leaflets containing 'things to do'.
We have dogs and love to walk, and for the early walk of the day there is a wooded area opposite the site entrance and poop bins.
We like a decent walk, and a beer garden in good weather or a dog friendly pub in the rain to eat before returning to the van, however all those recommended by the wardens were a drive away, so we did not visit.
The shop on site sells the basics including bacon, milk and soaps etc, and a mobile fish and chip shop is on site 5-7pm Monday and Wednesday, and 5-7. 30pm Friday.
The site recycles, and the water/waste points are easily reached and again in very good condition.
Word of warning do not arrive before noon. The road to and from the site is both narrow and steep, and if you arrive early and meet people leaving on that road, you have a problem!
If you like to watch TV the signal is poor, but we got by with a signal booster, getting 8 channels, however you can buy a long TV cable from reception and access a stronger signal from the hook up post.
If the pubs I have mentioned were there I would not hesitate to re-visit, however we won't because of the same reason. Cracking site and good wardens.
We booked Meathop at short notice, seeing the site was opening earlier than planed from its closure for upgrade work. This was to give our new Bailey Orion its first run as the site is just 68 miles and all motorway, except for the last 10 or so, from our location.
Having obtained permission to arrive early on opening day, don't try to arrive before 12 any other time, its approach road is narrow, we where the first to arrive. A warm welcome and chocolate from the wardens, who where excellent, friendly and helpful throughout our stay, was very nice. The reception sell newspapers to order, milk in bottles and a variety of other items. Grange over Sands is the nearest place for shops but you won't find an ASDA etc there, you will need to go to Kendle for the larger outlets.
This being our 2nd visit we could see some of the pitches had been levelled and where grass once was, it was now hard standing. The toilet block which has been rebuilt, is superb. The facilities now have about 8 showers, toilets and wash basins, so no one would need to wait long if the site was full.
This is a sloping site with a few views over the Kent estuary towards Arnside, depending what peg you get, where they look to be replacing the railway bridge across the estuary. Levelling blocks etc are required on a lot of the pegs.
The first night, unfortunately, a local farmer knocked down a power cable pole which left the whole area without power into the early hours of the morning. The warden came round 2 or 3 times to give us an update on the situation and to ensure we put our fridges on gas. After this there where no other problems. TV reception is OK using the coax plug on the power bollards, this area is now all digital.
The site filled quickly for the weekend and is very popular with walkers and cyclists. The site is ideal to venture into the lakes or towards Barrow, where a run along the coast road is recommended.
There is an hotel on the static site next door which is open to the public for drinks and do a Curry night, Wednesday, didn't try it because of the power cut, and I was told by the warden they also do a very nice steak.
All in all it was a very pleasant 4 night stay and I prefer this site, even though its sloping, to its nearby sister Low Park Wood. Again don't try to arrive early, the approach is narrow with a steep bit of road near to the site but is quite manageable and use the CC instructions / route for getting there.
We stayed at this site for the first time over Christmas and New Year in 2010, rushing home for a family celebration on New Years day.
The facilities are not the newest, but they are spotlessly clean and as others have said, the water is hot, hot, hot! Although they are closed for refurb this year.
We will be visiting again in December 2011 and would recommend this site to anyone looking for a quiet break in an area with a wide variety of attractions.
We are looking forward to getting everyone in the awning for our new years celebrations again.
