Coniston Hawkshead

This is a great location within walking distance to Coniston, fantastic views and very peaceful. I would thoroughly recommend.

The owners had been in touch to warn us about a wedding taking place nearby and offered to move us to a different site but it didn't bother us.

Was very surprised to find and not be given advance warning we were the only ones using the campsite and did feel a little bit vulnerable. I was very relieved that I had a friend with me as the original plan had been to go on my own and I would have been worried then. This was possibly because of the wedding, maybe other bookings had moved but a little advance warning would have been good.

It is literally one very smelly portaloo and a drinking water container in the middle of a field - at £25 per night, it did feel slightly overpriced but that is probably Lake District prices for you.

The location was perfect. We climbed the old man of Coniston one day and kayaked on the lake the second day. Will definitely be staying again.

Location, no noise

Good location, field/facilities were exactly as described.

Fantastic location. Just a 5 minute walk to pubs/cafes and all the amenities you need.

Portaloos and no showers but knew this when booked.

Great views of the surrounding peaks and 5 mins walk from the town and the lake.

Arrived early and just text Raggy who had text me the site info to see if we could pitch up early. Not a problem the reply. Nice flat spacious field with plenty of pitch choice with beautiful hills in the backdrop. Just basic with a few portable toilets and water bowser but your camping who cares. Situated in a great spot just a short walk from Coniston village with pubs, shops and plenty of public toilets if your a bit portaloo shy. Then the other way a short walk to Lake Coniston, beautiful, with all the usual water sports and lakie tours and scenic walks. So being in the middle is great for little legs who like the “are we there yet question”. Nice little start point to explore anywhere you like.

Nothing really we enjoyed the trip. It’s what you make of it.

***** Location! ***** Site is 10 minutes walk from Coniston Water with young children- along a safe path, blocked from the road by hedges. Not quite so safe getting into the village, but this is a very short walk. We didn't use our car the whole time we were there- bliss!

Owners/ site managers. They text specific directions on the day of travel which were really helpful. They were also very quick to respond to problems- sending someone to clean the loos on the first day and remove rubbish on the second day, both within half an hour of our messages.

Beautiful, basic, quiet site in the heart of the lake district. Would definitely stay here again.

Rubbish... there were specific instructions not to leave any rubbish but to take It all home. However, there were also two small bins which i think gave off a different message! They were constantly overflowing with rubbish and other guests were taking the p*** really, leaving bust airbeds and bottles and alsorts that should have been recycled or disposed of properly. Not the owner's fault, but I think either remove the bins altogether or commit to emptying them!
