This is a great site, in a brilliant location. Facilities are excellent, and kept very clean. The wardens were also friendly and very helpful. Finding a pitch is a bit of a lottery, and we ended up beside one of the play areas, which was a bad move, as it got pretty noisy in the evenings. Best to stay at the top of the site if you want peace and quiet. Watch out for kids screaming down the hills on their bikes and scooters though. For lake access, I recommend walking along to the shingle beaches just North of the Coniston ferry landing. Great for swimming and messing around in boats.
