This was our first time in the lakes and it did not disappoint. The site itself is very large but with all the pitch's spread out into little clusters in amongst trees, it does not make it feel as busy as it probably is. Be warned though, levelling blocks will most likely be required on most of the pitch's. The wardens were very helpful and did an excellent job of keeping the site tidy, of which the facilities were excellent, with a drying room also available to dry wet walking gear - Very useful after a hard day walking the lakes! Coniston water and town is within walking distance, Coniston itself having a good selection of pubs serving food. A fish & chip van also visit's twice weekly and is a nice treat at the end of a nice day out. We walked the 'Old man' from the site itself. Scafell Pike was 40mins away by car (Wasdale) and is a challenging climb. The site is positioned perfectly for touring the lakes - Tarn Hows, Ambleside, Windermere & Grasmere are all close by.
