Why stay here ...
OFFERS*: 10% OFF Spring Getaways | £25 OFF Summer Getaways | Kids for £1 (aged 5-17) | Under 5s stay free | £5 refundable deposit
Imaginatively landscaped, the campsite is set within 63 acres of beautiful National Trust woodland. With pitches grouped in open glades and easy access to the fun attractions of Coniston Water, the site offers a scenic, peaceful base for an active holiday that will keep the whole family happy, including its own mini adventure playground for children. Additional activities within the area include cycling, rock climbing, guided pony treks around the fells and much more.
The close proximity of Coniston Park Coppice Club Campsite to Coniston Water is a great bonus, a short walk from the bottom exit gate brings you to the lakeside launching point where you can enjoy watching or try your hand at a range of water sports such as dinghy sailing, windsurfing and canoeing. Coniston Pier, only 1.5 mile away, offers steamboat rides on the Coniston Gondola and boat hire. Several cafes and pubs serving good food are located in the village 1 mile away.
The campsite is an excellently placed central point for exploring the whole National Park, with its dramatic combination of Lakeland and soaring fells. Needless to say, the walking is matchless and you have a good range of paths to keep you on the go. Birdwatchers will not be disappointed - expect to have your binoculars in constant use, especially in Grizedale Forest.
Please Note: Reception at this site may close earlier than 8pm and staff may not be available to greet you. If this is the case, don’t worry, you can still arrive on site until 8pm. We will simply contact you on your day of arrival with details of how to check-in. Please ensure your contact details are up to date on your Membership profile.

Excelnet site!
This is a brilliant site, in an excellent location. The site itself is a large loop road, with a couple of offshoot roads, in the woodland, so every pitch is surrounded by trees. Many pitches can see at least some of Coniston Water. It opened for the season just a... Show more

Missing reviews!!!
PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE REVIEWS THAT HELP OTHERS. Very worrying that some reviews (multiple) that queries the approach and helpfulness of the site management at the end of the ‘24 season have been removed. Is that even allowed? From memory, comments centred on overpowering staff, cramping the style, why toilet blocks... Show more

Great facilities, peaceful site.
Very clean, well appointed facilities. Plenty of them around this sprawling site. Very quiet, woodland location. Would benefit from better bus connection to Coniston. We are OK with the walk but sometimes the pathway via Coniston Hall site is blocked by cattle and the path near the main... Show more
