Old Man of Coniston Campsite

Tyckte om Perfect exactly like the advert. Right back to basics camping, and views that my pictures didn’t do justice. I will definitely stay again. Note needs to really be a confidant driver due to steep hill on way there

Tyckte om The site is in an incredible spot, with the lake on one side and the mountain on the other, just amazing views of the moon on the lake, clouds drifting around. It's a lovely walk to the nearest pub and Coniston is close and has great options.
Staff met us and were friendly, did a night-time walk around and when some people were a bit noisy, got them to be quiet which was helpful.

Tyckte inte om It's very open about being off-grid so complaining about lack of facilities is not reasonable, but do be prepared for festival-style portaloos. They seemed to be serviced quite often but varied a lot from clean to disgusting.

The hill for the last 1/2 mile is really quite something - if you walk back from the pub you need to be fit and able.

The main site is on quite a slope so when it rained, people were starting to get stuck - at least it's downhill as you leave so getting out is no problem

Tyckte om The campsite is breathtaking. Really pushes cars to their limit driving up to it but wow!! What a place. Staff were amazing and responded very quickly when needed. Toilets were basic but generally acceptable. After nearly 30 years of visiting Ullswater and Windermere, this is a breathtaking of fresh air. Not commercialised and fantastic pubs a short walk away. Highly recommended 👌

Tyckte inte om Nothing really

Tyckte om The view.

Tyckte inte om People were noisy, people arrived really late at 2:00am. The toilets were disgusting(turds not flushed). Dogs off leads barking and growling at me. But for the most part it’s the people slamming doors at 1am and people shouting at 5 in the morning. It was peaceful in the week because there was only 3 other people stretched along the campsite but when Friday came it was madness. Noise all night. People throwing up at 1am and music blasting. It was like a festival. It got very loud. Me and my friend are 24 years old and we were so tired from walking all day and it was our last night and people just ruined it for us because they were too selfish to think of other people. The biggest problem was the hill up to the site. It was extremely steep and we found it very hard to get up and down.

Från föreståndaren: Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately over the bank holiday weekend a couple of the toilets were left by other customers in poor order despite the fact that every toilet has ample toilet roll, a toilet brush, hand sanitizer and air freshener. But the toilets were cleaned 4 times every day. Weekends generally are busier on all campsite and as advertised we allow up to 50 pitches, it would not be financial viable for us to open without an increase footfall over the weekend. The campsite was supervised from 10.30 until 11 on Friday evening where all raised fires were put out and music off. Noise was at an absolute minimum when we left. I’m sorry the some fellow campers were disrespectful after this time but unfortunately we were not notified in order to address this.

Tyckte om Set in a stunning location, overlooked by towering peaks and views of Lake Coniston.
