Great woodland location, pitches in need of TLC

We had our first trip to this site in August, plenty of kids around but because of the spread out nature it was hardly noticeable. There are some lovely secluded pitches but chose carefully due to the likelihood of rain most of the time some of the pitches have a very poor surface and allow the water to pool or run through like a river. This made the use of our awning almost unusable for most of the week. Plenty of walking required to get to the facility blocks (not a problem for us) and they were spotless even though you are in an outdoor environment. Overall would choose this site again but the club needs to put some effort into pitch maintenance.

A gem of a site, but few stones to be seen.

We have been coming to site for many years, and for all it’s a beautiful site it is in desperate need of some pitch maintenance. Finding a level pitch is like winning the lottery and if it has more than a sprinkling of stones on it then you’ve won the euro millions. Not so much hard standing, more like hard work, and it’s been like this for years. That said the surroundings are lovely, being in a peaceful wooded area. There’s a few ways to walk into Coniston itself, where there are plenty of pubs and some nice shops. If walking/hiking is your preferred leisure activity, then a trek up ‘The Old Man of Coniston’ is breathtaking both with its views and its climb. More gentle paced walks are also abundant. All in all a gem of a site, Caravan Club just need to sort out the hard standing pitches. PS don’t forget your waterproofs, you will most likely need them.

Beautifully set in nature

I think in the 18 years we've been members, this is the best site we've stayed at. It is set in woodland and each pitch feels private as a result. We are members because of cost and cleanliness but really aren't fans of sites that are set up in rows with not a lot of nature. I'm sure there are other places like Coniston and we just haven't visited them. We had a Robin greet us and kept popping in throughout the stay. The toilets and showers were immaculate and the wardens really helpful and friendly. It's a short walk down to the lake and if you walk to the right you can walk along the shores and also through woodland onto Torver common. Walking to the left and through Coniston Hall campsite, it takes 40-45 mins to walk into Coniston itself. Coniston only has a small spar and coop so I'd recommend bringing shopping if you have dietary requirements. It's a lovely place and we visited the Ruskin museum where Donald Campbells Bluebird is. We took a beautiful scenic route to Ulverston to visit the Laurel and Hardy Museum. A really fab place which brought back so many memories. We cut our stay short because the weather was rubbish and sitting in the caravan in the wind and rain wasn't appealing. I'd definitely recommend Coniston Coppice if you love a more natural park like us. No lawn mowers going was a bonus. A beautiful area and beautiful site.

Very large woodland site

A very well maintained but huge site 45 min walk (each way) from Coniston. Personally we prefer the smaller sites. Staff friendly and helpful. Three toilet blocks with different closing times. Pitches all appear to have a degree of slope

Great site, but needs pitch levelling

The staff and facilities are excellent. Showers that you turn on with a lever and can adjust the temperature (Not a timed push button or fixed temp) which was a nice change. The one thing that I think has issues at this site is the level of some of the pitches. We have an 8m caravan and of the pitches available to us on arrival, we found that only one seemed ok. Even with levelling ramps, we couldn't get the jockey wheel low enough to make the caravan level front to back. So much so that the fridge stopped working while on site. I saw someone else having to drag a large boulder over to place under a caravan leg. I saw someone else had put their legs on top of thin bricks and had the jockey wheel balanced on the top of a levelling ramp! So, I do think it's a great site, but do check the pitch before you select it.

Great site

The staff were friendly and accommodating. The site is interesting and large with pitches all well spaced and amongst the woods. We stayed in a caravan pitch near to the camping area to be near family camping - great area, with a park. The toilet facilities are kept clean. There are so many walks from the site, and you can walk through the site to the lake. You can walk to Coniston comfortably from the site, and it is off road. Big thumbs up for this site.

Fabulous site

This was our third visit and we chose a pitch at the bottom of the site near the lake. We were near one of the toilet and shower blocks, each of which has a different time for cleaning which is extremely useful. Also a drying room and we used this almost each evening for coats and boots etc after very wet weather. It's a half hour walk off road to the village but with superb views. Lots of different walks in the area for all abilities.

Lovely peaceful place

Stayed just for a couple of nights - the site is large and a bit confusing but very peaceful in the trees. Just a 5 minute walk away was the shore of Coniston Water - beautiful The facilities were clean - as usual in club sites The Black Bull in Coniston served amazing beer from their own brewery

Great location

A very large wooded site. The facilities are up to the usual club high standards and considering the size of the place, kept very well and never had any issues at all when using them. Most of the pitches are fairly level, ours was, but did notice some having to use ramps etc. Again, most of the pitches were of a good size, but did notice some that you'd struggle for awning space. What we really did like was the layout, even though it's a big site and was busy, it didn't feel it as the site's divided into loads of little clearings. A few minutes walk to the lake, which was great for the dogs and water sports. Loads to do and see in the area, especially if you're into walking. The walk into the village via the lake is suitable even for us hobbling old fogeys!

Lovely and peaceful site

We were pleasantly surprised with this site. Lots of nice spacious pitches with plenty options. It is a nice, peaceful place in a picturesque setting. Very friendly and helpful staff. The facilities are immaculate with lovely hot showers. Also enjoyed the food truck on site, we ordered pre-ordered pizza for tea and enjoyed it. There is also a small but well stocked shop, which came in handy. The location is ideal for exploring coniston. We will certainly be back!
