4 m van around and around isn't my idea of fun ! We really disliked the system of driving around trying to find a pitch then having to return to reception to inform them which one before you can get a key to the facilities block and security fob. We chose number 42 and sited our caravan sideways on in order to fit our awning evenly-as has been said before the terrain is very variable. Staff seem very reluctant to make any recommendations but eventually when pushed directed us to a quiet area of the site-Area A which is the furthest from the lakeside. We were given a map of the site which luckily we had already seen online. 2people only allowed into Reception at a time-had to wear masks and receptionists were behind screens. The wardens were marshalling the traffic efficiently and with humour. We arrived in the rain to a packed forecourt. No remaining Covid restrictions as far as we could tell. We booked in advance online but paid on arrival. We had enough EE 4G mobile phone signal at our tent to keep track of the news/ weather/ basic emails. The tents are at the top of the site: it is probably a half mile walk downhill, and ironically through the neighbouring Coniston Hall camping site, to the actual lakeshore. You need to remember to take the toilet block key, given to you at check in. The toilet/washing up block is a short walk. There is water, waste bins and a small playground in the glade. The ground is rocky: if possible bring a spare groundsheet, rock pegs and a large mallet! If the 4am "dawn chorus" of birdsong is not to your taste then I would also recommend ear plugs.Ĭars can be parked by your tent. This is a heavily wooded site but the tents are in their own little grassy "glade" giving a decent chance of catching the sun. I believe they are in use early May to late September. There are ten tent pitches, all with electric hook up, on this site.
