Ulverston is a pretty market town with old buildings and cobbled streets. A street market on Thursdays and Saturdays sells fresh local produce and an indoor market is open weekly. The area has a beautifully landscaped 18-hole golf course. There is a swimming pool and outdoor/indoor sports complex with gym only 300 metres from the site.

Climb Hoad and visit the Sir John Barrow Monument.

Towards Barrow-in-Furness there is South Lakes Animal Park, a unique safari park to explore on foot. See tigers, giraffes, kangaroos, lemurs and monkeys in his active conservation park.

The Dock Museum is a free attraction, telling the story of Barrow as a shipbuilding town and often has special exhibitions.

Visit Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway, travel on beautifully restored steam trains through stunning scenery to Lake Windermere where you may board the Windermere Lake Cruises.

Visit Walney Island with its nature reserve or Roa Island, with a ferry crossing to Piel Island.

Fantastic well laid out park. Highly recommended!! 16th Apr 2014 Adrian_W2 (Mature couple, 1 review) Confirmed Date stayed: Apr 2014 Recommend to friends Visit again Liked: A brilliant leisure parked catering for all. Well laid out with excellent facilities for dog walkers and close to many local attractions in the Lake District. An excellent safe children's play area. We have stayed at a number of sites and found this particular one to be very clean, with excellent shower blocks, and in our opinion is one that we would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone to visit - you won't be disappointed!! Disliked: Absolutely nothing!!!!!

Good site! 20th Apr 2014 thomas_l3 (Mature couple, 1 review) Confirmed Date stayed: Apr 2014 Recommend to friends Visit again Liked: Absolutely nothing wrong with the site, gardens well maintained, toilet facilities would put many four star hotels to shame, absolutely brilliant well kept and spotless. Disliked: Getting the awning pegs in (all hard standings with the emphasis on "hard") recommend rock pegs and a lump hammer!

Not very good 31st Mar 2014 alan_g2 (Mature couple, 1 review) Confirmed Date stayed: Mar 2014 Recommend to friends Visit again Liked: The showers and vanity rooms. Disliked: The tractor moving around the site and sticking caravans all over the touring park.As for being a leisure park there is nothing there to call it a leisure park .Bad lighting at night . And as for the dog exercise area, Im sorry I would not let my dogs onto a mud field and thats what that area was.

Good commersial site based in old quarry. 30th Mar 2014 ian_w16 (Mature couple, 1 review) Confirmed Date stayed: Mar 2014 Recommend to friends Visit again Liked: Site seemed well laid out with good shower and toilet facilities (under floor heating was brilliant). Some good walks nearby and twenty minutes into Ulverston. Hoad Hill is a must with excellent views over cumbria and the estuary. Good places to visit - including the Excellent Dock Museum at Barrow. The weather was brilliant which made our few days worthwhile. Disliked: This is a commercial site with sale of static, touring caravans as well as motor homes. This appears to make the site very busy with day visitors to the showrooms and shop. Site entrance can get very clustered at times.o be No green areas on site but plenty of places to visit nearby. There seemed to be little control over entrance to the site as vehicles moving around site well before 7am. Would we visit again - probably as the area is amazing.

Very friendly and helpful staff on site. Facilities were 1st class. 18th Jan 2014 eileen_c (Mature couple, 1 review) Confirmed Date stayed: Jan 2014 Recommend to friends Visit again Liked: The pitch was a good size and the shower/toilet facilities were excellent. The park area was good for walking the dog and the play equipment for children all looked new. Having a hardware store and workshop on site was useful. The free wifi was easy to access.The town was a 20/25 minute walk away although there was a good size pub and co-op just 5 minutes away. The town was pleasant with a good choice of cafes and shops. Only stayed a couple of days so no opportunity to check out area properly. Would certainly stay again.

Superb Facilities 11th Feb 2014 gary_h4 (Mature couple, 1 review) Confirmed Date stayed: Dec 2013 Recommend to friends Visit again Liked: Although we stayed for only 3 days over Christmas we had a warm welcome and had the site pretty much to ouselves. Probably different in summer. You drive through the Caravan Sales area into the site and you can't ask for anything more. Hard standing with all the amenties for hook up exactly where you need them near the van. And the toilet blocks to be honest are the best I have ever seen anywhere in Europe. Location is so good for touring the Lake District. It was my wifes first visit to the Lakes and we both agree it is a place to come back to so we can explore more. Disliked: Absolutley nothing	Location Value for money Accommodation (No rating) Facilities/activities Customer service Child friendliness (No rating) Cleanliness Overall 9 Share this review: Facebook Twitter Google Plus
