Kendal Camping And Caravan Club Site

Ever felt like you needed a weekend that smells like bacon and fresh air? That’s exactly the vibe at the Kendal Camping And Caravan Club Site. It’s nestled in the Lake District, but without the crazy crowds of Windermere.

Honestly, it feels like camping in a secret garden. The site is perched on a hill with views that make you want to actually put down your phone. You can see the Howgill Fells from your tent door—it’s like having a postcard for a neighbor.

Why this spot feels different

Most campsites are either too busy or too boring, right? This one nails the balance. It’s part of the Caravan and Motorhome Club network, so you know the facilities are spotless.

But here’s the twist: the town of Kendal is just a short walk away. You can have a proper pub lunch, then stumble back to your tent for a nap. How many campsites let you do that without driving?

It’s a bit like having your cake and eating it—but the cake is a mint cake, because you’re in Kendal. The local "Kendal Mint Cake" is famous, and you kind of have to try it. It’s basically sugar fuel for walkers.

The walks are the real secret

This site is a launchpad for adventures you didn’t plan. You can walk straight from the campsite into the fells without seeing a car for hours. It’s like the path just opens up and says, "Come on, follow me."

If you’re feeling lazy, the Scout Scar hike is right on your doorstep. It’s an easy climb with views that make you feel like a king or queen of the world. And the best part? You can be back in time for a cup of tea and a biscuit.

What about the nitty-gritty?

Okay, let’s get real. The pitches are mostly hardstanding, which means no muddy dramas when it rains. And trust me, the Lake District loves a bit of rain—it’s part of the charm.

There’s a handy shop on site for essentials, but it’s tiny. Don’t expect a supermarket; think more "emergency chocolate and matches." That’s part of the fun, isn’t it? It forces you to pop into Kendal for supplies.

Kendal Campsite - Camping and Caravanning Club Site

The shower block is heated and clean, which is non-negotiable for most of us. You get that nice steamy feeling without the "eww" factor. Honestly, it’s better than some hotels I’ve stayed at.

Who should come here?

Are you a family with kids who love poking sticks at things? Perfect. Are you a couple who wants to read books and drink wine by a lantern? Also perfect. It’s a chill tribe sort of place.

Dog owners, listen up: this site is very dog-friendly. There are tons of pubs nearby that let your furry friend sit by the fire. Your dog will probably have a better holiday than you.

And if you’re a solo camper looking for peace? The vibe here is friendly but not intrusive. You can say "hello" to your neighbor or just stare at the clouds. No pressure.

The final nudge

Kendal Camping And Caravan Club Site is like that reliable friend who always has a spare blanket and a good story. It’s not flashy, but it’s real.

So, pack your wellies and a sense of calm. Who knows—you might just find yourself booking a second night before you’ve even pitched the tent. After all, isn’t that what camping is supposed to feel like?
