Water Yeat Campsite

Likte 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.

Likte ikke 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.

Likte 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!!

Likte Lovely setting, River access was perfect, short car ride to Coniston lake. Large clean pitches. Would def visit again.

Likte ikke Toilets were very smelly. They were cleaned often and every effort was made to keep them fresh but its a portaloo.

Likte Amazing setting, fantastic views and access to the river/lake, perfect for a quick dip or paddle to coniston. Really easy check in and large pitches marked out so it never felt crowded even when full. No water or showers as stated but large bottles of water available to buy at all times so this was not an issue. People with music/laughing and having fun but couldn’t hear anything after 12.

Likte ikke Toilets did get unpleasant on the Saturday night/ Sunday morning but the site was full and I imagine this is not as much of an issue during the week.

Likte 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!

Likte ikke 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
