Having just returned home from a midweek break at the Coniston Park Coppice site, Im fairly astounded by some of the poor reviews recently documented here. So much so that for once I will post a review of my own to try and balance the picture painted for the benefit of others. Its worthy of note also that some of the previous negative remarks made during this recent post-lockdown period are actually nothing to do with the site itself, more with the surrounding areas. Thats a shame as it unfairly impacts on the sites overall ratings score. Also I’d say the negative comments regarding restricted facilities and increased safety measures are in the main unjustified in these Covid-19 times, as they are in place to mitigate risk to all of us who are visiting. The site itself is unique in that the pitches are all positioned in separate enclaves within a large extensive wooded area. If your preference is to park up in regimented lines akin to a car park then this site definitely is not for you! For us this was an overwhelming plus point, hence this positive review. A short recce of the site on arrival (this was our first visit) led us to our preferred area, not too far from the entrance at the ’top’ quieter part of the site. A vacant pitch was selected among the trees, which needed no levelling blocks in our case. Its amazing for such a large site that we could only see three other vans from our pitch! No yapping dogs, no loud music, no loud children or speeding vehicles were experienced! The facilities were all well kept and everything functioned well even with all the social distancing measures in place. Not once did we have to queue to use the toilet/shower block. The site itself is a short stroll into Coniston village and an even shorter stroll to the nearest pub. Yes its somewhat hilly, but it is the Lake District after all! Thats what some of us go there for. All in all a great site in our opinion and we already intend booking to return next month. Look forward to it!
