 This was our first stay on a caravan club site and we were impressed, the road leading to the site was rather like a fair ground ride! On arrival we booked in then went and chose our pitch the first time we've had to make this decision! The site has a limited shop we were given the option of ordering daily papers, one negative comment the site is advertised with wifi this is available if you sit on the chairs outside reception and are prepared to pay £5 per hour which I thought rather expensive hence the teenagers weren't impressed!
Great location for exploring the lakes about 30mins from the M6.

Had a lovely weekend here even though there was torrential rain on our drive across. Once at the site the rain started to ease off and there didn't seem to be any drainage issues with the pitches. The pitches themselves are quite varied in size and in lay-out. All appeared to be big enough for a car, caravan and awning. Some have their own distinct boundaries and others seem to be part of a larger gravelled area shared by others.
2 good clear, warm days followed and showed how pleasant the site can be as well as the surrounding area. We took a boat trip on Coniston lake (only 20 - 30 minute drive) and then walked back to Coniston village where there were plenty of places to eat.
The usual CC facilities are on site although as mentioned elsewhere only 4 showers does put a heavy demand on morning queues.
There's a hotel just around the corner from the site and the menu looked ok although we didn't eat there. Site residents however are welcome to use the bar.

We stayed here Fri - Mon the first weekend of the school summer holidays. When we arrived we were given a pitch on what looked like a car park. On looking at the pitch we realised it would be far too small for our caravan(thankfully). The very friendly and helpful wardens came over and made some other suggestions, we were eventually given a very nice grass pitch. The site is nicely spaced out with lots of greenery around too.
We have 2 dogs and there was a nice small area to walk them just outside the site, however other short walks were limited around the site if you have dogs that you want to exercise further. When we first arrived the warden was very helpful and did point out some nice local places to walk dogs (they were a drive away).
Amenities were immaculate, however there was a queue first thing in the morning between 7.30 and 8.30 for ladies showers. The site as always was immaculate and the wardens were friendly and helpful. There was a children's play area nicely tucked away at the back of the site!
The shop did not open until 9am which I thought was rather late, especially as I was needing milk for breakfast. On Sunday I went for a morning paper and was informed they were for people who had ordered them only!
On our last night we decided to eat out. As it was a Sunday Grange was rather quiet. We asked for recommendations at the site and were given the name of a pub in town and the pub adjacent to the site (which we were told, 'cash in' on the niche market). We found a fantastic hotel with a bar and restaurant which is open to non residents in the centre of Grange. THE LYMEHURST provided EXCELLENT FOOD and ATMOSPHERE and the SERVICE was EXCELLENT TOO. The food was extremely fresh and as a result we had to wait a little while. The waitress did apologies for the wait but when the food arrived it was understandable why. They offer a 2 course meal for £13.95 and 3 course meal for £18.95 in the bar area (which is a lovely dining area), there is a A La Carte Menu on offer in the restaurant at a slightly more expensive rate.
In Grange there are some fantastic bakers and butchers which all add to making your stay that little better. We even stocked up on meat from the butchers in the centre of town on the way home and weren't disappointed that we did!
A GREAT LOCATION with GREAT LOCAL AMENITIES only 15 miles from Windermere.

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!

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

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.
