This is a lovely site with great access to lake Coniston. The village of Coniston is near by and the setting is lovely. The staff at the site are very warm and welcoming and also very helpful. We have been there several times and we will definitely be back.

Beautiful site in winter
Just come back from Coniston site. Had a lovely time. Special feel during winter. Quite and outstanding scenery. Good walks from the site. Very clean showers and other rooms. Good idea to have a drying room which we used every day. Also water available for drinking from inside room, useful during freezing temperatures.

Fantastic Location
First time visit but hopefully not the last. The site is located in a beautiful spot in woods by Lake Coniston and is ideal for walking. I was there with my dog Ellie and walked from the caravan to the top of Coniston Old Man with its amazing views. It's also within an easy car ride to the Langdale Pikes where we managed to get up Harrison Stickle. Even in the depths of winter this is a great site (with immaculate facilities) so are planning to get back as soon as we can.

First time visit
Just a quick 2 night visit and we were not disappointed .The site is huge with well spaced out pitches , some are a bit sloping so take your ramps.
Facilities are excellent and include a drying room which comes in handy . Wardens are very helpful and nothing was too much trouble . Access to Coniston is better along the lake as the road has no footpaths and the designated footpath across the fields was flooded when we were there . The Ship Inn is dog friendly and serves great food . As mentioned in the site leaflet the access road A5092 is very narrow in places , so take care .

A Winter Visit - Excellent
We have been to this site quite a few times.
We are always made to feel welcome and like being able to stay on a CC site in Winter in the Lake District.
We have never found fault with this site and would recommend it to anyone, with or without children. Having said that, in Summer it is a very family oriented site and is very 'lively' with the sound of happy youngsters.
In Winter, part of the site is closed (not a problem as it is such a large site) and it tends to be fairly quiet.
My only warning is that the only realistic approach is from the south, and the road becomes very narrow and 'bendy' a few times - just be careful and take it slowly. We have never had a major problem, but care is recommended!
Arrived 30/12/14 left 5/1/15
Great Wardens and great location therefore a great site. The New Year's Eve gathering for drinks and nibbles was excellent. Good luck to the outgoing wardens, a hard act to follow.

IMMACULATE
Just back from two nights at this forest site and felt I had to give public recognition to the wardens for the immaculate toilet block.
Despite the forest floor being muddy and gritty, not one speck of dirt was to be seen. Not one leaf had blown in. Not one spider had been allowed refuge! The toilets, basins, showers windows and ledges were all gleaming. A credit to a lot of hard work.
The current wardens leave in January to start in Fife so here's hoping the new wardens maintain the sky high standards.

Cosy at Park Coppice
Stayed here for 3 nights between Christmas and New Year when it was very cold, but sunny. Great location for walking by the lake and can get to Coniston on foot. Also can get directly onto the fells.
Site is well managed and although huge does not feel like it is because of the excellent lay out. We plan to go back.
