Stayed for the third time July 2022. It can be tricky to find a pitch and it will vary depending on the time you arrive. This site allows arrivals at 10am, most are 1pm. Quite a few leaving that day may not have gone at 10! The site is a bit of a warren of roads and pitches but that is it's charm. It rains, a lot, it's the Lake District so expect some! We moved to a more open pitch as the rain dropping off the trees can last quite a while. Had a lovely private corner with plenty of room, nearest unit was well away from us. The approach road in is narrow in places despite being an A road. Use caution, we came head to head with a 50 ton excavator being moved so full test of reversing skills! Careful leaving, the A 5084 is the way out passing the lake shore. It splits at Torver with the A593 to Millom which is best avoided as steep and narrow. The sign was covered in tree so care required here. The site by the lake was rammed with tents and does not gain the kindest reviews for reasons you may see. That said it's an easy 45 min amble along to the village with no hills to climb. We came to mountain bike and the route from Coniston village to Grizedale Forest is an uber steep rocky bridleway. It can be avoided by climbing the B5285 to Hawkshead instead and going into the forest via a small car park on the right. Very steep either way but easy on the way back! Or take the bikes to the visitor centre if you have a car. Previous visits have been to hike across Coniston Old Man to Torver and back via the lake shore. Location wise for outdoor pursuits this is fantastic.
