We picked a pitch near the lake, and also near the toilets. It was beautiful, with trees around, and general privacy, despite the size of the site. Very cleverly designed! As it is so huge, it is quite a walk back to reception, but the walk was worth it. The man on reception was a little brusque, but perhaps that was his way, as he was friendly on the following days. We had only booked one night, but loved it so much, we stayed for 3 nights. The lake was stunning, but beware cyclists, it is no easy ride round the whole of Coniston, as we found out! We found a walk up on a tiny footpath, the other side of the main road, and ended up in a pub, where we had great views, great food, and fab beer! Hic! This was an amazing site, and we would love to go back, although one of the roads there was a little hair-raising for new motorhomers!
