Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Very out of the way of the busy town meaning it is peaceful & the views were lovely. Clean campsite & not noisy at all. Boxes of food/ milk and drinking water provided.
Disliked: The toilets got a little dirty towards the end of our stay but nothing major. & no showered but we obviously knew about that before we came so probably wouldn’t stay longer than 1 night.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: The field was flat, not too windy and pretty quiet. The location was really good and there was always toilet roll in the porta loos. Even though there were no showers (which I knew in advance), there’s a really nice stream right next to the campsite that you can take a dip in.
Disliked: The porta loos smelt pretty bad. It would have been nice to have some sort of sink to properly wash hands, rather than just hand sanitizer.

Liked: Location is peaceful with stunning views. Less than 10 minutes from Coniston in car. Site had everything we needed including very clean toilets, clean drinking water and an honesty box set up which was well stocked (tea, coffee, hot chocolate, crisps, cereal etc). Loved being beside the stream listening to the water. If not a fan, there are plenty of pitches on the site where you can enjoy silence. We enjoyed it so much, we paid to stay an extra night. Highly recommend this site!
