Nice location but could do better

This is a nice location - 20 minute walk or 5 minute cycle to lake and then on to Coniston village in 25 minutes. Picking a pitch is a bit hit and miss - you get a map and told pick any pitch that is free and then come and tell us where you are. It would be better if the pitch availability were updated as people book in or if a member of staff came round with you. We marked our pitch with table, chairs and sun parasol when we went out but neighbours told us they chased off 6 people trying to set up on our pitch. We had no radio reception on sire - DAB or FM. A neighbour couldn't get all stations on their TV. Phone reception is only 3G and there is no free wi-fi on site - I thought all club sites had wi-fi. The pitches are all hard crushed rock with very little grass which means the overall impression is a bit 'car park in the woods' . Water connection was worn so that hose kept flying off when filling the tank - couldn't remove it as on too tight. Reported to office who said they had ordered more tap 'tips' - I suggested loosening those fitted so people could use their own but no joy. Apart from this the motorhome points were very good. There are other campsites in the area including a small certified site in Coniston closer to 'the action' such as it is which would be more suitable if you wanted to eat out at night or do more than just relax.

Hi, thanks for  this honest review, it’s really helpful. We sometimes take our folding bikes but won’t use them on very busy roads, so I was wondering if you thought the cycle route into the village would be safe? Any extra tips or advice would be great, thanks.
