winter trip

Enjoyed a stay here in the recent snow. Plenty of choice of pitches midweek though more arrivals at weekend. Approximately 60 pitches available to use when we visited as site only part open. Easy walk down to lake and in to Coniston - despite the ice and sleet! Lovely lunch at Herdwicks café just past Ruskin museum - very dog friendly. Approach roads are narrow in places and very windy but fine in a campervan, wouldn't fancy it in a motorhome or caravan when it's peak season. Toilet facilities are locked at all times - you get given a key when you let reception know your pitch number. Not sure why that's needed in winter - the campsite by the lake isn't open so quite who else would be using facilities I have no idea. We weren't told this when we arrived so wondered why we couldn't get in. Usual high standard of cleanliness and warmth which was good as it was freezing outside. Useful tip if you want to check the state of the approach road is to look at Cumbria Council webcam https://www.cumbria.gov.uk/roads-transport/WeatherStations/A593Torver.asp as its a couple of miles up the road. I'm sure we will be back but not when its school holidays - liked the peace and quiet!
