This has to be one of the must visit sites. The site has good roads throughout and plenty of space as the site is well spread out through national trust managed woodland. Staff friendly and very helpful, shop well stocked with the basics. The toilets and all other facilities were immaculate. There are multiple toilet blocks with numerous water/waste rubbish areas all immaculate. I came away for first time to the Coniston area with dogs and family and we will be coming back here many times.
A good place for Anniversaries
This is the third year running that we have spent our wedding anniversary at this site. This time it was our Silver Wedding and as usual we had a wonderful time at the site. At this time of year the area is much less busy reflected in the fact that only about a quarter of the pitches were available and only one of the three wash and toilet facilities on site was open. The walking direct from the site here is extensive and varied which is why we love it. Also not very far afield there are hundreds more areas for walkers.
On site there is a variety of wildlife and with the site so quiet we saw at least 3 Roe deer wandering about the empty pitches. The woodpeckers were very busy and our bird feeder was visited by bluetits, great tits, coal tits, chaffinches, Nuthatch and robins.
The site is well laid out with numerous pitching areas among the trees on a number of terraces. This means that although the site is a very big one there is no feel ing of being crowded. The facilities are spotless as always on club sites and the wardens were very welcoming, again as always.
We will probably return for our 26th but hope to be there again much sooner than that.

Peaceful....perfect
Great site location. Walk into Coniston either route was easy, although may be a little muddy and uneven underfoot for some. We planned a weekend of walking and routes started from the site. Coniston far less commercial than other Lakeside villages but good range of shops and pubs. The Ship on route into Coniston was lovely. We didnt eat there but diners were praising the quality. At the site Wardens welcoming and helpful in finding a pitch. Site is well maintained and we would love to see the trees it in other seasons. Toilets immaculate. We will certainly be back.

A Lovely Break
We stayed from 1st March for 6 nights and found the temporary wardens, Alan and Dee extremely friendly and helpful. The site and facilities were of a very high standard and would make us keen to return again. After talking to Alan and Dee and experiencing their hospitality, we are very interested in visiting their site in Exmoor. The site is well located for some fasinating walks, especially the Old Man of Coniston, the local beer after these walks are very welcoming
Winter wardens
Try not to go when the winter wardens are still there (March). There was no replacement gas available, no papers, very little essentials in fact. Do not book a non-awning pitch they are very small and restricted to poor areas of the Site.

Forrest Treasure
This is a fantastic site in the middle of the forrest on the banks of Conniston Water. if you are into water sports hill walking or a quiet pub lunch or dinner this is the site for you. My own treasured memory of being here was walking the dog early one morning thro the trees and coming across a young stag eating his breakfast he looked at us and we back at him and he wandered slowly away. the site is a pleasurable walk to the village of conniston and the pubs and shops. which can be very busy during the summer months. the main road access is narrow so make sure you approach from the way that the club guide recomends its also hand for Ambleside and all the other lakes attractions well worth a visit
A two night stay
Fabulous site within walking distance of Coniston village and good dog friendly pubs. (The Ship Inn is the nearest pub about 15 mins walk and the new owners were very accommodating and friendly.)
The relief wardens on site were extremely friendly and made me feel very welcome. They offered some good advice for training my dog - hopefully I'll get to visit their site near Exmoor!
There is also access to the lakeside from the site with wonderful walks and spectacular views.
First Time Out
Booked a one night stay to try out our new VW campervan on what is a fairly local site to us.
We received a very friendly welcome and spotless facilities.
We had been here many years ago with the family and living near the Lake District we know the area well.
Great for walking, quiet and sheltered location, within walking distance of the pub and Coniston village.
Unfortunately the weather was not so kind but the visiting fish & chip van was a great bonus.
We will return.
Lovely site
We thoroughly enjoyed the site and facilities, as we expected as we had been before several times. A little put off by the warden who had us move 6 inches because our position was not perfect. There was no-one either side of us for the whole visit! We were a motorhome rather than a caravan, so the position was not really critical. Rather sad. Fortunately it was a relief warden, so will visit again.
