We stopped off here on our way south and it was well worth the effort (30 miles from M5). The road there is a bit of an issue with several really narrow sections but just be careful and it's OK. The site itself is wonderful, with lots of nooks and crannies where you can pitch up. The facilities are what you'd expect on a CC site with immaculate toilets and well maintained grounds. Only 10 minutes walk to the waterside and 30 minutes to Coniston village where you have all you need with a small supermarket, petrol station and 3 pubs serving good food and drink. Loads to see around about and the scenery is absolutely stunning. Dog walking is a doddle, just take them down to the water. Just be careful of the sheep in the field. Despite the terrible access road, we'll certainly return to this magnificent site.
