We regularly review the season lengths of our Club campsites. As such, we have decided to change the season length of this campsite for 2023/24 stays. Please view the updated open and close dates under the 'At a glance section'.
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 caravan site 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.

Great site
Coniston Park Coppice Club Campsite
The staff were friendly and accommodating. The site is interesting and large with pitches all well spaced and amongst the woods. We stayed in a caravan pitch near to the camping area to be near family camping - great area, with a park. The toilet facilities are kept clean.
There are so many walks from the site, and you can walk through the site to the lake. You can walk to Coniston comfortably from the site, and it is off road.
Big thumbs up for this site.
Fabulous site
Coniston Park Coppice Club Campsite
This was our third visit and we chose a pitch at the bottom of the site near the lake. We were near one of the toilet and shower blocks, each of which has a different time for cleaning which is extremely useful. Also a drying room and we used this almost each evening for coats and boots etc after very wet weather. It's a half hour walk off road to the village but with superb views. Lots of different walks in the area for all abilities.
Lovely peaceful place
Coniston Park Coppice Club Campsite
Stayed just for a couple of nights - the site is large and a bit confusing but very peaceful in the trees. Just a 5 minute walk away was the shore of Coniston Water - beautiful
The facilities were clean - as usual in club sites
The Black Bull in Coniston served amazing beer from their own brewery
Great location
Coniston Park Coppice Club Campsite
A very large wooded site. The facilities are up to the usual club high standards and considering the size of the place, kept very well and never had any issues at all when using them. Most of the pitches are fairly level, ours was, but did notice some having to use ramps etc. Again, most of the pitches were of a good size, but did notice some that you'd struggle for awning space. What we really did like was the layout, even though it's a big site and was busy, it didn't feel it as the site's divided into loads of little clearings.
A few minutes walk to the lake, which was great for the dogs and water sports. Loads to do and see in the area, especially if you're into walking.
The walk into the village via the lake is suitable even for us hobbling old fogeys!
Lovely and peaceful site
Coniston Park Coppice Club Campsite
We were pleasantly surprised with this site. Lots of nice spacious pitches with plenty options. It is a nice, peaceful place in a picturesque setting. Very friendly and helpful staff.
The facilities are immaculate with lovely hot showers. Also enjoyed the food truck on site, we ordered pre-ordered pizza for tea and enjoyed it. There is also a small but well stocked shop, which came in handy.
The location is ideal for exploring coniston.
We will certainly be back!
