 A lovely, quiet campsite in beautiful surroundings. Suitable for families and couples.
Site owners were friendly and polite and general atmosphere of the camp was very welcoming.
Toilet and shower facilities were clean with powerful showers. Close to large supermarket for supplies.
There is a small play park for the kids and nice walks along the riverside.
I would recommend this site to anyone seeking a peaceful break in a relaxing and scenic location.

We went on a two night break to this site, on arrival we were met by friendly staff who showed us where we could pitch our tent. The site is well situated and easy to find. The facilities are spotless and well deserving of the toilet's of the year award! There is an area to wash pots etc with a seperate sink for laundry also a washer and dryer, very handy. My daughters aged 9 and 10 loved it, made lots of friends and were kept entertained in the play area, while we struggled putting up and taking down the tent, anyone with children knows that feeling.

Spent a lovely few days here, the site & toilets are very well looked after & clean, the wardens have only been there a few months & are lovely & friendly, they showed us to our pitch, unhooked the van & pushed it into place for us without me having to do a thing. There is a small shop on site selling gas bread etc & a newspaper delivery service, also a retail park close by with supermarkets etc. It's about a five minute drive into Kendal & around 10 to 15 mins into Bowness, The site is on a hillside so leveling blocks are advisable, the tv reception is not brilliant. We would return to this site again.

Though we were warned that some pitches would be sloping, we hadn’t realised how bad it was. We were taken to a pitch and told to park the caravan wheels on two slabs, meaning we could not park sideways to try to negate the hill. We had to use several large blocks of wood under the jockey wheel and front steadies in order to level the caravan. The back of the caravan was sitting on the ground. As for the awning –we had to try to level the table with blocks of wood but the plates still slid sideways while we tried to eat our meals and our chairs were at a weird angle! We gave up in the end and ate inside the caravan. There were flat areas on the site and we watched people arrive, stay on a flat pitch for a couple of days and move on, while we were stuck on our hill for nine days. The manager was very protective of the grass. As we were sited between two roads, we took the easiest route which was slightly longer that the other route. We were told not to go that way, so had to manoeuvre the car backwards and forwards to take the shorter route. We found this rather strange as we caused more damage to the grass doing this. The site was very full while we were there and we felt quite hemmed in by the other units on three sides, especially when the BBQs were lit. This is unusual for a Camping and Caravanning Club site. On the bright side, the facilities were good, clean and seemed to be adequate for a full site. There were good walks around the site, including a dog walk and, if you were so inclined, you could walk to the supermarket. Kendal was very busy and not my sort of town but it is a good base for exploring the Lake District. Our days out were wonderful, with scenery to die for. This was the reason we went to the Lake District and we would love to go back there. However, we wouldn’t stay at this site again.

A lovely well kept site.
Myself and my fiance went with another young couple who were in a caravan for a week at the start of June this year. The site itself was very well kept with the grass cut everytime a unit moved off site and nearly everyday in other areas. Toilets and showers were clean, only 2 toilets 2 showers in each block, however this was never really a problem even though the site was full. It has a small play area for kids seperate from the tourers.
Nearby, Kendal is only a 1 1/2 mile walk away (about 20mins away at our pace) its a nice town with cafes, bars, restaurants (try Cortez for fantastic Spanish) and plenty of shopping. The nearest pub is the Duke of Cumberland about a mile away over some fields, good beer, good food, good atmosphere. Windermere is 15 minutes by car and there is plenty to do there also Ullswater 30min and Keswick 30 min.
Will be there again, hopefully soon!

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

We visited this site for two nights with our new tent which is 4.85m x 6.40m it is fairly large but not the biggest on the market. we were told on booking that this size of tent was just within the limits of the pitch size.
on arrival the staff were friendly and very helpful but quite specific on where we should pitch the tent. once we had pitched and got organized the man who ran the site came over and was disputing the size of the tent and made it clear that he was not happy as he thought it was too big. Quite abruptly he informed us that we were lucky, he would allow it, but many other sites would turn us away.
However once we had let his comments fly over our head we enjoyed the weekend, the site is lovely, the grass was immaculate, with lovely views.
The retail park is just a short walk away which is very handy and there is a very sizable children's play area with swings and slide etc.
The toilet and shower blocks were wonderfully clean however I feel that the shower cubicles are a little small, but functional all the same.
I would recommend this site but if you have a large tent prepare for some sarcastic comments and a lecture if the area dimensions are larger than a caravan with an awning!

An excellent little site, well located on the A6 a mile out of Kendal towards Shap. Staff were very friendly and accommodating and the site manager assisted me when my vehicle briefly broke down. Showers and toilets immaculately kept and the reception sold some basic essentials. Some nice walks around the site, one of which takes you to a useful retail park with Morrisons, Aldi and Halfords. Great site - highly recommended!

I have stayed here several times over past 4 years. It is a medium to small site with basic but clean facilities. great location (but no good pubs within walking distance). I would go again even though the helpful staff are brusque and un smiling. The grass is always in excellent condition.

Excellent little site 1 mile out of Kendal, but you wouldn't know it whilst on the site. Immaculately kept, short grass and spotless toilets. Normal CCC facilities of hookups, some hard-standings, kids play area etc.

Site Mangers here were a bit bossy & seemed to be less helpful than we've encountered at other C & C C sites but it was the very last weekend of the season & they were anxious to be away in time to catch their plane to the sun.
Facilities are basic but clean. Kendal is a fascinating town - don't miss the museums & if you smoke make sure you get the local Kendal tobacco. Kendal is also famous for its mint cake.
