Although we have been going to the Lakes for many years, this was our first visit to the CL and it certainly won't be our last. I can only describe what we found but it is in total contrast to the previous review!! Five newly laid hard standing pitches (old ones washed away by Storm Desmond). Pitch 5 (first on right through gate) is the smallest and may be a bit tricky to access if you have a large outfit. CL set in the grounds of the estate bordered on one side by Grisedale Beck - if you don't like the sound of running water then this may not be for you. Perfect TV signal (not that we needed it) - used an old fashioned aerial and pointed it in the direction of the mast (Glenridding)  but don't bother with a satellite dish as too many trees. No EE phone signal but three bars in Glenridding and full signal on top of the fells!! Free Wi-Fi over at the estate office and extremely cheap but excellent laundry facilities. Friendly and helpful staff. Plenty of walking straight from the site - hardly used the car. Basic shopping/pubs and post office at Patterdale and/or Glenridding - larger supermarkets at Penrith. Road was busy during the first week of our stay but this was due to the ongoing repairs being done to the A591 between Kewick and Ambleside after Storm Desmond washed it away. Once this re-opened during the second week of our holiday, peace was restored. Thanks for a great holiday.
