Crake valley park view point (added by manager 28 feb 2021)

Gorgeous coniston water views (added by manager 28 feb 2021)

Quiet family park in 16 acres of woods next to Coniston Water
A 15-minute drive from Ulverston and 20 minutes from Windermere
Stunning views on site and great walks in the surrounding area

Cumbria, Coniston Water – and Crake Valley Holiday Park. As Lake District locations go, this is a particularly lovely one: in 16 acres of woodland on the shores of Coniston Water and around a 10-minute drive from Coniston village centre. As you might imagine, there are great views out over the water from this dog-friendly park – and up to the surrounding mountains and fells too, for good measure. Walks, sailing and watersports are all nearby for active types, and there are lake cruises, historic places to visit and family attractions easily accessible too. For a change of scenery, you could travel to Ulverston (15 minutes’ drive) for a market town on the beginning of the 70-mile-long Cumbria Way or trade lake views for seaside ones at the coast, half an hour away. While the scenery and location is obviously high up there, this isn’t a site that just relies on its location: the facilities are equally excellent, with free wifi, a laundry room and a modern toilet/shower unit with individual toilet and shower units, everything you’ll need to keep yourself feeling fresh and ready to get going onto your next adventure, whatever that may be.

Bell tent

Liked: The quiet location and the facilities. Quick response and refund from staff.

Disliked: I couldn't stay because the bell tent was mouldy and dirty with sheep pee/poo. I was so upset and disappointed to have to leave, end my trip away and drive home. The camping and glamping space was probably quite good at one point but has not been looked after. The bell tent was mouldy on the outside and inside the smell of was unbearable and gave me a headache. I could not breathe and there was no ventilation. The LED lights were not working despite asking for new batteries and it was very dark inside. The alternative lanterns didn't provide the cosy vibe the pictures on the website had given me. The outside cooking awning was also mouldy but functional. However the bench was broken and wobbly.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Great location - within walking distance to Lake Coniston and then half an hour drive to Lake Windermere. We also did a nice little walk from the campsite upwards which had a lovely view of the lake. Toilet/shower block was always clean, lovely hot water! Accessible EV charger, made it easier for getting home at the end of the trip! Owners are very friendly and easy to contact them over text. Brought over fire logs when we needed them. The honesty but was full of goodies. We had a lovely weekend and would definitely go back!

Disliked: Only problem was only having two toilets/showers, was a bit of a queue in the mornings. Other times of the day were fine though!

Bell tent

Liked: Bell tent with comfortable bed Shower toilet facilities. We were fortunate as we were the only tent

Disliked: The shared cooking area which would have been a challenge with others in bad weather. Would have been useful if there was a hairdryer.

Local attractions

To stick to the ground or to go up into the treetops? You’ll be pulled in both directions in Grizedale Forest (half an hour's drive), thanks to its sculpture trail and the Go Ape obstacle trails in the trees. This is just one of the local areas rich in nature, as the mountain hike up the Old Man of Coniston (15 minutes) is a real beauty spot. Lake District locations go almost hand-in-hand with water activities and none more so than Windermere (20 minutes), where there’s bike or boat hire, canoeing and kayaking or waterskiing and wakeboarding classes. But while The Dock Museum (half an hour) is one way to learn about the water, it’s not all about that. There’s also a Buddhist temple at Conishead Priory (20 minutes), the Lakeland Motor Museum (15 minutes) and the National Trust Hill Top with Beatrix Potter’s house (25 minutes). William Wordsworth has made Grasmere (40 minutes) a particularly interesting village for literary fans, while those of you searching for some more history will find that in the fortresses of Wray Castle (half an hour) and Muncaster Castle (40 minutes).
