First Timers
Just returned from 6 x nights in our tourer. First time on this site. Watched a few videos and read the reviews in preparation. Found the approach roads from the south reasonably good, not too stressful and no particularly tight spots. Staff on arrival were great. What took us by surprise was the difficulty in finding a suitable pitch without knowing the layout. Short of driving round and round in a procession, you end up grabbing a pitch and think about sun direction, water point and toilet block proximity as an afterthought. The roads are steep in places and there are not many pitches that you don’t need levelling blocks/ramps on. Despite it being a woodland site, there were some pitches that were fairly open, i.e. a clearing with a number of pitches in a horseshoe. Access by foot to Coniston, Torver and the lake is easy. Access to the lake is through the Coniston Hall camp site which looked more like the Reading Festival on several of the days we were there! Made us really glad we were CAMC members.
