Well laid out and quiet site despite it's size. Wardens friendly and helpful. There are numerous walking options direct from the site with anything from shorter, flat walks along the lake to all out Lakeland hikes. The footpath network in the area is such that it is easy to alter the length and nature of the walk as you go along. In addition to Coniston there are also two pubs in Torver which is about the same distance as Coniston in the opposite direction. Only tried one of the pubs in Torver (Wilsons) but food and beer was very good. Sandwiches appeared a little expensive but fully justified given the quantity and quality of fillings. Large outdoor grassed area at the rear.
