Excellent site, very clean with nice modern toilet block, nice pitches with great views, and friendly staff, as well as a nice club house and shop that is pretty reasonable. Great location, fell foot park is worth a visit.
Moor how is a bit off a hill located within the grounds of park cliffe and is a friendly walk for kids and takes you up to some fantastic views of lake windermere.
If your going in a tent, get there early as some pitches a very sloping but there a few level areas to be had. Overall, a very nice site, now just prey it doesn't rain as it seems to a lot in the lakes!
Once you've visited Park Cliffe you will know why it won Campsite of the Year 2009. The facilities were immaculate, the staff extremely friendly and it all comes with a fantastic view of Windermere and its surrounding hills.
We only booked for one night as it was a stop off point to Loch Lomand but would definitely return. The food served in the on-site restaurant was reasonably priced and tasty. They stop serving at 9pm but were flexible enough to serve us with a smile at 8:58!
You choose where to pitch your tent and there was plenty of space available. The bar is open until 11pm with a relaxed atmosphere and the site was not at all noisy after closing time.
Due to the bad weather conditions the previous evening (35mph winds and torrential rain!), we over-slept but again, staff were ok with us checking out 30 mins late.
Shower & toilet block was spotless with plenty of hot running water. Would happily recommend this to anyone wanting to camp in The South Lakes. Excellent!
We had booked this in advance as the facilities and website are excellent. On arrival I was a little disappointed that the 'large' pitch I has booked was much smaller than expected and could only just fit my tent on ( 7 x 4m) and due to poor weather conditions was very muddy, it also backed onto the road which could become very noisy at times. (plot 1 - tent field with electric.)
The facilities itself were excellent, plenty of toilets and showers which were always immaculate and never had to queue at any point. Probably the best I have used so far. The bar/ restaurant also had wi-fi which my teenagers greatly appreciated. The shop was very well stocked for it's size and all the staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. There was a small beck which kept smaller children occupied for hours, and the playground seemed very safe too. My parents also stayed at the same time, in their caravan on the opposite side of the park and their pitch was excellent.
The location is approx 3 miles from Bowness so there is plenty of other activities in the area, however that did means trips out by car. I would recommend this site to caravanners but would probably not return with a tent myself unless for a short break rather than a full week.
Had a great time. The camping field was great, some flat pitches, some sloping, but not that bad. Toilet and shower facilities were clean, plug sockets in the showers, washing up facilities, laundry room.
Reception very helpful, you can take your ice packs to reception and put in the freezer. The pitch prices were a little more than we would normally pay but it was worth it. There is a shop, restaurant and bar on site. The restaurant was a little pricey. Drinks in the bar for adults were ok but kids drinks were pricey.
The kids loved the stream, they played for hours. There's a great park for the kids, our kids loved it. Lovely walks around the area, plenty of wooded areas and hills to climb. The lake is in walking distance or you can go to Bowness which is the nearest town, which has all your usual shops and tesco express. We would definitely go back again.
Stayed here with a small group for 3 nights. Facilities were modern and regularly cleaned. Small restaurant and shop on site which was very busy this time of year but the group always managed to find some tables and the service was good. I would definitely come back here - views over Windermere and lots of places to visit nearby.
The only downside is the sharp slope that the tents have to pitch on (non electric hook up), getting your car up to the pitch can be challenging in wet weather.
Lovely river running through the site which entertained the kids more than the playground did, although this was also well equiped.
Atmosphere, even on rainy nights was great, the site seemed to attract the type of people who find areas of beauty interesting.
Me and my partner stayed at this site for 1 week in and we will be going back again. The site has fantastic facilities, the toilet and shower blocks were cleaned all the time, they are the cleanest ones I've seen yet
The staff are very friendly and helpful. Our pitch was a very good size we had electric hookup and was on the flatter side of the site, the fellside looked a little slopy but you could have as much space as you wanted
The river going through the park is lovely, the kids loved it, its not too deep for them and they had great fun. The bar was nice and friendly and served good food, I went a couple of times when I couldn't be bothered cooking. The shop is well stocked with the basics you need
Park Cliffe is an ideal place for exploring this part of the lakes, you will need to drive a bit though, the closest village is bowness on windermere, it's lovely there. There is some really nice pubs that do good food and lots to do on the lake, it gets busy most days but mainly at the weekend, there is enough parking but it can get expensive
If your a keen walker like us there are plenty around and about, you can buy some walks at reception for 60p which I thought was great. Grizedale forest is a must see, it's brilliant I loved it. The walks are great and there's a Go Ape there. There are also lots of cycle tracks if that's your thing. All in all we will be back again next year.
This campsite, having stayed here previously on a number of occasions is absolutely fantastic. Sites facilities are more than adequate, the toilet facilities are well equipped and immaculate. Heated floors in this area I can say is a god send in October!
The kids facilities were great but when in the lakes these are just adding to the already fantastic scenery and facilities around for both adults and children. I would recommend a walk to the top of the ‘mountain’ as my daughter says. It is the big hill behind the campsite and the views from the top on a clear day is just spectacular.
The surrounding area, well it’s the lakes so I’m not going to go on about it, other than its my favourite place to come and relax.
Love this place so much I have booked a few days during the May bank holiday.
Fab! Just been for the October half term week. Lovely site, extremely friendly and helpful staff, lovely shower / toilet facilities. Fun night at Halloween - campers really got into the spirit and dressed their vans up. Can highly recommend the food. Beautiful stream running through the site. Can imagine it lovely in the summer months in a tent. Brilliant walk up the hill at the rear of the site and Gummers How a little farther down too. If there were any negatives only one would be caravans quite close together and doesn't really give you nice views from your van of another's set up but this does not spoil site for a holiday and would definitely return.
Fantastic campsite, very clean toilet and shower blocks with under floor heating so nice and warm. Pot wash area spotless. Only stayed one night as we where dropping our daughter off at the near by scout camp but will definitely stay again. All the staff where pleasant and helpful. The kids playground was great with swings and climbing frames,our 5 year old didn't want to leave! Site is in a beautiful location handy for south lakes. Site shop reasonably priced but only opens at 9am, a bit late if you want supplies for breakfast! Did not eat in the restaurant but the menu although limited was reasonably priced and the restaurant / bar area was modern and nicely furnished. Stayed on the tent pitch section which is rather hilly but managed to pitch on a flat area, great that you can choose where to pitch in this field. Walked through the caravan/electric hook up area and it all looked really well kept.Will definitely stay again, maybe in a camping pod over the winter!
We've just returned from 2 nights in a large tent, staying on the upper site (Fellside)and I'm really impressed with the whole site! It was very clean (I saw staff each day walking around with bin liners in case of rubbish) and the staff were really helpful and genuinely lovely, friendly people.
There are a few flat pitches on Fellside, but I'd recommend an early arrival to guarantee a really flat one - or definitely book Ghyll Beck which also has hookup facilities! There are plenty of rocks for adventurous kids to climb on, and the wooden play area is great for all kids - with a stream at the edge for endless fun building dams!
The wash-up and shower/toilet facilities were excellent, and plenty of very hot water!
Easy travelling distance (by car) to Bowness and also to Fell Foot Park. Its a bit more expensive than we've paid in the past, but definitely worth it :-)
We stayed here for 3 nights at the end of june on our way to scotland. We have two children ages 8 and 13. We all enjoyed the campsite and the staff were really friendly. We had food some evenings at the bar / restaurant and it was nice. The showers and toilets were the very clean. Now I am home I can say the toilets and showers was the best I saw on my 2 week hols.
The scenery on this site is breathtaking, however one consequence of this is that the pitches can be a bit slopy. We were very impressed with the bar and restaurant (could open a bit earlier for breakfast)and the toilet block was great. Lots of hot water for showers and plenty of facilities. We found the site noisy, music quite loud until after midnight, but this was a minor problem in view of all the other positives. We will definitely be going back to this lovely site.
We have been to this site several times over the past twenty years, and it just keeps getting better and better.
We booked in July for a mid-August stay of four nights, and only the Fellside field was available (which means no designated pitch - this field is for non-EHU pitches only). This was fine - we'd been before and knew what to expect. It's a very sloping field, so our advice is to get there in the middle of the day - they say no one can pitch before 2 pm, but we got there at 1.30, and they happily let us on. At that time you get the pick of the newly available sites. We got a very level pitch, but saw other campers get very sloping sites later on, and then move their tents the next day when they saw someone else move off.
The facilities are brilliant, and there was always someone cleaning - I even saw loo rolls being changed at 10.30 pm, which I've not seen anywhere before. Loved the 'family' shower cubicles, and the private toilet and wash basin cubicle provided in each toilet block.
Despite horrendous weather on our last afternoon / night, we stuck it out because we'd promised the kids a meal at the campsite restaurant, and there would have been mutiny if we'd let them down. It was well worth it, the food was excellent, and very fresh. The bar/restaurant has free wifi access, as well as a selection of board games etc, and a book swap area - perfect for a wet evening.
The boys enjoyed paddling in the stream in wellies - until the last morning when it was a raging torrent. The site is too sloping to play football, but we were able to play other games outside. It quietens down very quickly in the evenings away from the electric hook-ups. Many campers are serious walkers and are happy just to sleep!
We love it and don't bother looking for anywhere else in the Lakes.
We arrived there in the first week of August and slightly disappointed with our pitch, as fair enough it has been used frequently before us, but we had to pitch on the mud virtually, therefore bring an extra fly sheet, ours was not the only bad pitch. Apart from that I couldn't really have any more complaints. Thankfully we where on the Ghyllside which was excellent with brilliant views, as the other side looked as though it was on a very steep hill and a bit of a hike to get to your tent. Toilet/shower facilities spot on and checked and cleaned regularly, the washing up area was good also, restaurant/bar prices I thought reasonable and with a small games room at the back, which my children never used as happy to play in the stream and walk around.
Very quite at night with no problems with other people and security is very good.
The staff are very friendly and any problems or questions they are more than happy to help
Four mile drive to the nearest town which was Bowness, which had everything there shopping wise and the main tourist place, also for your starting place for the boat trips. We went to the Lakeside Zoo on the southern end of Lake Windermere, which was impressive and there is plenty of other things to keep you busy.
Recommend go ape in Grizemere, although a hefty price it is brilliant.
Would go again to that campsite without hesitation as long as I brought my extra groundsheet.
