One of our favourites but does have its faults
We have visited Coniston Park Coppice more times than any other CAMC site as we absolutely love the location. The walk into the village is very scenic & the village has everything you could need for a break away. The park itself has typical, faultless CAMC facilities, always spotlessly clean & plenty of showers & toilets. The pizza van is great too, the pizza's are lovely.
My only complaint is the amount of do's & dont's & the constant patrol of the site wardens. I know this is probably more to do with the CAMC rather than the staff but they are so strict with the rules you can frequently get your head bitten off if you misunderstand what they are telling you. I've been told more times than I care to mention about not reserving a pitch for my friends or family when waiting for them to arrive (this is standard for all sites & we haven't tried to reserve a pitch) but I have witnessed pitches being reserved & when I asked at reception about it I was abruptly told that if it was reserved it was reserved for a reason then sure enough, later that day a family arrived in a big fancy motorhome & their friends pitched across from them. I had only asked as we purposely pitched where there was a space to the side of us for when family were to arrive later that day.
Other than that, this is the perfect place to visit & the fact you can arrive from 10am is just a bonus. I'm sad that the site will now close during the winter as we used to like to come during the quieter months but we will visit again before the site closes in a few weeks.
