Good but poor pitches
First time we have stayed at this site. (Mid July hottest week so far this year)
Very good location and easy walk to Coniston lake or village.
Although not a club issue I found the journey towards the site rather hair raising at times due to people double parking on bends and leaving very little room for outfits to fit though.
The site was very welcoming and we were quickly booked in.
However on driving around the site I had trouble finding a suitable sized pitch for my set up.(I only have an average sized 4 berth van with awning).
After driving around several times I managed to locate a pitch (227) and set up.
We then had a walk around the site to get our bearings and could see several caravans or motorhomes driving around and around obviously looking for a suitable sized pitch in which to park.
I have to say that the pitches are overdue a refurb' as some are very small with the woodland encroaching onto the parking area, some 'white peg' pitches would struggle to fit on a caravan, awning and car and other pitches fall away into the woodland.
That said we had a very enjoyable stay with Coniston lake being only a 10 minute walk through the site. Windermere was also close by and we found it easier to turn right out of the site and make our way to the ferry rather than the longer drive by turning left.
As mentioned above regarding pitch sizes, we left on the Friday evening but just prior to hitching up I saw a family with caravan drive past us four times, when they past a fifth time I flagged them down and they were also frustrated that they could not find a suitable sized pitch (this was there first time at the site). Once explained that we were leaving they waited and then claimed our spot.
So in summary a nice clean site but pitches overdue a refurb'
