Noise ruined an otherwise brilliant experience
Agree with all the positive reviews on here about site location, layout of site, cleanliness of blocks and the wonderful staff who work so hard. We liked the slightly random layout of pitches which was a welcome change from the uniform layout of some other sites. Location couldn’t be better, with easy walking access to Lake Coniston which for us made a perfect wild swimming location. Walks into Coniston and Torver (new pub there coming soon!) were lovely and more than doable with our 6 month old. What ruined the holiday for us was the noise. The adjacent campsite appears to get all the blame, where in fact kids running utterly feral around the swing park near the bottom of the site late into the evenings really ruined our experience. This wasn’t just kids having a great time. They were totally out of control and on a different level. The last evening was our worst, as our baby was woken by a screaming competition and bike/scooter races down the hill. The noise was relentless until around 10pm. We totally understand that kids will be kids, but the level of respect for other campers which we are so used to with CAMC absolutely didn’t exist here. Wonderful campsite ruined by a really different vibe. We left a day early, partly influenced by this experience.
