This was our second trip to this site.  We booked the week to stay prior to the August Bank Holiday.  The main draw of this site is the proximity to the launching area on the beach of Coniston Water.  This facility is available by driving through a locked gate across another camp site.  The access code is held in reception.  However, during our stay it was abused somewhat so respect the CC instructions or lose the privilege.  The idea is to drop off your gear then return your car to site making sure the gate is secured.  Despite us strictly adhering to this policy we were challenged by the staff once on the other site and told we were not allowed to bring our vehicles there.  After much discussion we were allowed to drop our stuff off.  The site is steeply terraced and most of the pitches are tight and a bit dingy.  We were lucky and secured a pitch at the top of site where the space was better and sunlight was available.  Take insect repellent because the midges are ferocious.  The toilet blocks are excellent and modern though why the CC insist on closing whole blocks off for cleaning always beats me.  It is totally unnecessary and a task easily administered by other organisations.  Take care when approaching site as some stretches of the road from Greenodd to Torver are very tight for outfits.  So we will go back but only if the process of accessing the lake launching beach is clarified fully and remains available.
