Reviewer: LBBK 60 reviews from this member

 This is still one of my most enjoyable campsites, especially in the spring.

I reviewed the site in May 2022 and there are just a couple of changes to add: we booked online but needed to pay a deposit, £20, with the balance payable on arrival, £50.20. That made £35.10 a night for 2 adults, car, small tent & electric. Not cheap.

The site was relatively quiet despite a good weather forecast, maybe they are pricing themselves out of the market?

Facilities remain excellent & the staff helpful.

Don't forget an extra groundsheet, the toughest pegs you own & the biggest mallet you can carry!

 We have stayed at this site 3/4 times. The site is set on Wooded hillside, placements well set out.

Next to office is a shop and there is a visiting food van.

Shower & Toilets excellent, clean, warm with plenty of hot water: Childrens playground.

You can access Coniston Water and local footpaths to Coniston town or Torver.

We joined the Camc Club and recouped the fee.

If your taking an awning be sure to take some heavy duty peg and a numatic drill ha ha.

When the weather is good you can access lake for a swim.

 Too many positives to list ! the help-yourself herb-garden is a nice touch as is the food-outlet & tourist-leaflets.

Short walk down to Coniston lake from the site.

Very helpful staff. Great facilities, clean & well maintained. Tokens for laundry room which came in handy with so much rain.

The walk-back to confirm pitch # & obtain facilities-key was long but great to select own pitch. Sheep wandering about were amusing.

Wish there was an off-lead fenced area for dog exercise.

Definitely would return here

Reviewer: M & G On Tour 25 reviews from this member

 Beautiful forest setting over a huge area so the site is very spread out. Little clearings with several pitches dotted about. Due to the environment with many trees, a lot of pitches don't benefit from the sun all day so you need to ask at reception for advice on best pitches to suit yourself. They were very helpful when I asked for suggestions.

It would help if they had a sign with the pitch numbers at the entrance to each clearing as it can be very confusing. And can be quite a walk back to the reception to let them know where you have chosen. However, it's worth this inconvenience as it is a beautiful and scenic area and peaceful.

Very good facilities. Lovely walk down to the lake. There is another private campsite with minimal facilities near the lake (not belonging to Coniston Coppice) so you will have key access to the loos etc to avoid people from the other site coming in to use them.

30 mins walk into Coniston, no path in some places, although you can walk there from the lake area to avoid the road, slightly longer walk but nice.

Lovely village with pubs, shops etc. Bus stop to various places, such as Hawkshead. And bookable steamboat and lake cruise boats at Coniston.

Food truck on site doing different food on certain days such as Pizza, fish and chips. We didn't use it this visit but understand the food is good.

 Pro's - Beautiful site, didn't feel like a large site with the way the pitches were laid out, felt more like a small, friendly site. Pitches were scattered throughout the forest, allowing pockets of "units" and felt quite sheltered. Facilities were good. Lovely hot showers, well maintained, good lighting, Friendly and helpful staff.

Con's - Nowhere we could let the dogs off lead, even walking into Coniston itself. We thought there would be areas in the forest we could let them off lead, but no.

It's a nuisance having to go back to reception to tell them which pitch we'd chosen when they don't mark up a map of free pitches.

Bit of a hike uphill to reception and Aunt Sally's food van.

Comments - we seen evidence of the WiFi upgrade, which will certainly be a bonus in future as there's no TV signal on the pitches. It would be good if the site advertised the fact they have TV aerials points on the power stand. They will sell a lead at £25, but we have 2 at home that we didn't take with us, so didn't buy another.

The road into the site isn't for the faint hearted. If you have a big unit, be prepared to reverse at some points, or to wait for traffic to move past.

Reviewer: LBBK 60 reviews from this member

 There are ten tent pitches, all with electric hook up, on this site. I believe they are in use early May to late September. This is a heavily wooded site but the tents are in their own little grassy "glade" giving a decent chance of catching the sun.

The ground is rocky: if possible bring a spare groundsheet, rock pegs and a large mallet! If the 4am "dawn chorus" of birdsong is not to your taste then I would also recommend ear plugs.

Cars can be parked by your tent. There is water, waste bins and a small playground in the glade.

The toilet/washing up block is a short walk. You need to remember to take the toilet block key, given to you at check in.

All facilities immaculate.

The tents are at the top of the site: it is probably a half mile walk downhill, and ironically through the neighbouring Coniston Hall camping site, to the actual lakeshore.

We had enough EE 4G mobile phone signal at our tent to keep track of the news/ weather/ basic emails.

We booked in advance online but paid on arrival. Staff friendly and helpful.

No remaining Covid restrictions as far as we could tell.

We would book again.

 Clean well organised site

You need leveling blocks

Nice walk into Coniston with several bars and shops

Short walk to Ship Inn selling fabulous home cooked meals, a good selection of locally brewed ales and dog friendly.

 We travelled with two other couples as part of a trip around the lake district and Scotland.

Very helpful staff, lovely site.

Good facilities, beautiful setting.

Will definitely visit again.

Reviewer: Paulmold 102 reviews from this member

 Agree entirely with previous review and spookily we also went on pitch 42.

Majority of pitches are amongst the trees so not a lot of sunshine and when it rains it falls off the trees onto your roof with the accompanying noise.

Slight change to wristband system. Bands are now in buckets of Milton. You take a band and hang it on hook, when all hooks are occupied, maximum number of people are inside. When you exit, remove band and drop it back in bucket.

Wardens will stop and chat (at social distance) now.

Road in either direction is narrow in many places and you need to use passing places, we drove a 6m campervan, wouldn't like to tow a caravan on this road.
