Pick your own pitch; pub two miles away

Torver Campsite is a small, friendly site in a quiet corner of Cumbria five minutes’ drive from Torver and 10 minutes from Coniston. From here it’s easy to get out to some of the finest spots in the Lake District – not just Coniston Water and the Old Man of Coniston but also Hawkshead, Hill Top and Windermere. There are lots of quieter lakes, footpaths and fells around if you’d like to get away from the crowds, and you can drive to the coast in about half an hour if you’re after a change of scenery. Life on site is pretty straightforward: you need simply turn up and pick whatever pitch you like the look of in the huge field. Portable toilets (cleaned daily) and clean water are provided but you’ll need to bring along anything else you need. There’s a pub a couple of miles away and plenty of places to pick up food or settle in for drinks and meals in Coniston village.
