Bardsea Leisure Park

Gostou: The location to Ulverston was excellent along with a nearby pub & chippy. On site accessory shop had some good stuff at good prices. Surrounding trees were alive with thousands of Jackdaws that woke you nice and early with their calling. Staff seemed friendly enough and the main shower block with it's heated floor was excellent! nice and clean and your towel dried on the floor with the heat as you brushed your teeth ;-) I already knew about the Wi-fi deposit of £100 (cash or card) but you got this back when handed back at the end of your stay but this meant you had your own excellent Wi-Fi in the caravan which we used to watch live TV as well - this option gave you internet & Live TV as opposed to getting the SAT TV box as well (additional deposit I guess) for the TV side of things as there is very little signal as you are in a quarry. To us this was a great facility where other reviews have complained about the deposit being steep - but this stops people leaving the site with them, They're not cheap to replace.

Não gostou: Designated "Dog exercise area" was a bit of a laugh, up some quite steep steps to a overgrown patch of soil about the size of a couple of cars. We didn't mind though as we walked ours into town most days to get a drink in a pub or eat in a cafe so he got plenty of exercise. Site got quite busy during the day as previously mentioned as tourers and motorhomes were being sold and when ready for pickup or testing were sited in the tourer section. Personally didn't mind it at all, was something to watch from the caravan when it was raining but might put someone off if they were after a peaceful stop. These aren't really dislikes just our comments.

Gostou: Great location for the lakes and animal park. Clean showers /toilets and there was always showers free. A busy site but nobody was too noisy the time we where there. Park and field for kids to play away from the caravans. Nice to have until 12 to leave as its not a rush. shops not to far away, great fish and chip shop close!

Não gostou: Caravans / campers with awnings very close together. You have to leave a £100 deposit for wifi and better tv signal, absolutely understand why as people have taken them away so not a criticism it just didn't suit us personally.

Gostou: Ulverston is a lovely little village for you to explore with a lot of walks however you must be prepared to drive around or face a long walk. Showers in main block were good.

Não gostou: We found the site was more of a commercial business than a holiday camp site, too busy with staff focusing more on selling caravans to purchasing customers than appreciating customers who are using the site as a holiday destination. Tight pitches which do prevent the ability to fit awning, caravan and car. Previous sites we have been to have allowed us to fit all 3. This is especially noticeable on Odd Numbered Pitches 119-137. Lack of information of car parking is quite poor as you are told to park in front of your caravan however this would block the road for everyone else. This made reversing and parking your caravan quite difficult if there was a car in the way. You must be able to tolerate the customers who have bought their ‘new’ caravan Bardsea as they will no doubt feel they are entitled to the whole campsite to ‘test’ out their prized possession. Meaning that if you have parked your car correctly as described then they will demand you move it as far away as possible so that they have the whole of Ulverston to access their caravan I’d strongly advise Bardsea that for these customers they are moved to a different part of the campsite to ‘test’ their caravan. Left a day early as we were disappointed with the overall standards at Bardsea. Lack of Baby changing facilities in shower blocks were quite difficult as only the 2 in the centre of the site had this facility, if these are in use then it becomes extremely difficult in the main shower block. Even with leaving on Sunday morning we expected that as we had just vanished from site, that Bardsea would try to contact us to figure out why we left. But however we have had nothing. Overall a poor experience unfortunately.
