Water Yeat Campsite

Me gustó The location is amazing as able to launch paddle boards onto the river from the site. Paddle right and end up on a gorgeous tarn, go left and within a few minutes on Coniston. We met Bill who was very welcoming giving advice on local walks, as the site was quiet he said no rush to pack up early the next day which was brilliant as met another day in the water. The honesty shop is great selling pop, water, Crisps, Porridge pots and pot noodles along with firelighters and wood, (Need to take own pit). About a 15 minute drive into Coniston where we had a fantastic meal at The Sun Inn, highly recommend.

No me gustó Only thing was the toilets as half were locked out of order and the ones that were in use weren't the best. This wouldn't put me off coming back but my 10 year old daughter might need a bit more persuading.
Just a suggestion but being able to hire fire pit would be helpful too.

Me gustó I took my sons aged 8 and 12 for their first proper camping trip and picked this spot due to the river and dark skies.

We had a great time and the boys asked to come back before the site was out of sight!

Water year is a belting camp site with nicely sized pitches and it’s very well looked after with the owners on site every day. Windermere is short drive away for places like brock hole so it’s perfectly situated for us.

The honestly shop is amazing as is the bucket of things donated by previous campers, especially for morons like me who may forget things like cutlery!

There was a really friendly welcome and a brilliant overall vibe to the place, I hope we manage to get back before the summer holidays end!!

Me gustó We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Water Yeat Campsite. The location is simply stunning – picture-postcard views in every direction, with direct access to Coniston Water. You can enjoy a wonderfully scenic paddle along a charming little river crake, or take a short trip just 100 metres downstream to explore the beautiful Tarn.

The site itself is spotless, peaceful, and has a lovely, chilled-out atmosphere. The owners couldn’t have been more accommodating – they even let us stay on after our departure time so we could make the most of our last day on the water. That kind of hospitality really makes a difference.

Another great touch is the honesty shop on-site, stocked with essentials at very reasonable prices – perfect for when you’ve forgotten something or fancy a little treat without leaving the site.

We came away feeling completely relaxed and refreshed, and we’re already planning our return trip. Highly recommended!

No me gustó If there’s a downside, it would be the lack shower facilities – but given the location and atmosphere, it’s a small trade-off for such a special place

Me gustó Beautiful views. Myself and son loved the honesty box lots of great stuff in there to buy, my son went straight for the Haribo sweets and I went straight for the latte.
The lake at the bottom was crystal clear with lots of fish, great swimming spot.
Friendly owners who also pop in to make sure everyone is OK.
Overall we would definitely stay again
Thank you for a lovely campsite!

Me gustó Was our first camping trip. Great location, decent size pitches. Really liked the private access to the river/lake. Brought our own paddleboards and could paddle for as long as we'd like. The site was fully booked for thw night we were there but didnt seem crowded. All in all would come back again.
