Why stay here ...
OFFERS*: £25 OFF Summer Getaways | Kids for £1 (aged 5-17) | Under 5s stay free | £5 refundable deposit
Imaginatively landscaped, the campsite is set within 63 acres of beautiful National Trust woodland. With pitches grouped in open glades and easy access to the fun attractions of Coniston Water, the site offers a scenic, peaceful base for an active holiday that will keep the whole family happy, including its own mini adventure playground for children. Additional activities within the area include cycling, rock climbing, guided pony treks around the fells and much more.
The close proximity of Coniston Park Coppice Club Campsite to Coniston Water is a great bonus, a short walk from the bottom exit gate brings you to the lakeside launching point where you can enjoy watching or try your hand at a range of water sports such as dinghy sailing, windsurfing and canoeing. Coniston Pier, only 1.5 mile away, offers steamboat rides on the Coniston Gondola and boat hire. Several cafes and pubs serving good food are located in the village 1 mile away.
The campsite is an excellently placed central point for exploring the whole National Park, with its dramatic combination of Lakeland and soaring fells. Needless to say, the walking is matchless and you have a good range of paths to keep you on the go. Birdwatchers will not be disappointed - expect to have your binoculars in constant use, especially in Grizedale Forest.

Great site
We spent 3 days at the Coniston Park Coppice Club Campsite in a campervan. There is a good selection of pitches, and the facilities were top-notch. The lower pitches also provide good access to the lake. The only thing we lacked were chocks, as many of the pitches are sloping. This... Show more

A forest gem.
Stayed 4 mid week nights, third time returning. A delight in the quiet forest setting, as long as you go when the kids are in school. Bathroom facilities spotless, amenities excellent, wardens helpful, professional, and friendly. A couple of issues. Pitch numbers need to be larger, hard to see from... Show more
