Liked: Clean toilets always with toilet roll. Little honesty shop for water and essentials if needed. Lovely little private bit that has access to the river at the bottom of Coniston lake so you can start off kayaking straight from the campsite.

Liked: That you can get onto coniston waters quick from the site itself. That’s the only good thing about this site unfortunately.

Disliked: Grass was well over grown, only cut down in walk way areas. So my dog being smallish was wet through all the time bringing it into the tent. So was out shoes . Felt like the family was constantly checking on people on the camp too. Which I felt an unease about . It might be cheap site but I stayed on better sites for same price. Toilets was disgusting & the smell was so bad to the point I was sick. I can take some smells too. Opening of site is on a bit of blind bend as u come out making it hard to see & it’s quit a way from nearest shops . Not impressed overall .

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Fantastic location. View over the Coniston range mountains. On the bank of the river that flows from the Coniston Lake. Toilets were pretty clean. Pitch size perfect for big tents. Very quiet site. Friendly owner.

Disliked: No water on the site. A little to long grass. Pricy for a field without showers or water.
