Quiet family park in 16 acres of woods next to Coniston Water
A 15-minute drive from Ulverston and 20 minutes from Windermere
Stunning views on site and great walks in the surrounding area

Cumbria, Coniston Water – and Crake Valley Holiday Park. As Lake District locations go, this is a particularly lovely one: in 16 acres of woodland on the shores of Coniston Water and around a 10-minute drive from Coniston village centre. As you might imagine, there are great views out over the water from this dog-friendly park – and up to the surrounding mountains and fells too, for good measure. Walks, sailing and watersports are all nearby for active types, and there are lake cruises, historic places to visit and family attractions easily accessible too. For a change of scenery, you could travel to Ulverston (15 minutes’ drive) for a market town on the beginning of the 70-mile-long Cumbria Way or trade lake views for seaside ones at the coast, half an hour away. While the scenery and location is obviously high up there, this isn’t a site that just relies on its location: the facilities are equally excellent, with free wifi, a laundry room and a modern toilet/shower unit with individual toilet and shower units, everything you’ll need to keep yourself feeling fresh and ready to get going onto your next adventure, whatever that may be.

Carlos C. Apr 2025

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: This is such a great spot! We camped surrounded by trees full of lovely birds that serenaded us every morning as the sun rose. Coniston lake is just across the road and accessible to all through a public footpath and little beach. There are two small bathrooms, with toilets and showers (nice hot water) and heating. There is also a little treat shop cabin where you help yourself and have a honesty box for you to pay.
We had a bonfire in the morning and evening, which makes the camping experience so much nicer.

Disliked: The one thing that is really needed is an available socket (or two!) to charge devices (phones, tablets/iPads, music players, smart watches, dog tracker, etc.) or connect a hairdryer. I know many people who wouldn't use this beautiful site just because of the lack of a socket.

Corentyn S. Apr 2025

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: We loved the location, so close to the Lakeside and a nearby walk above the site. The pitch was indeed muddy and solid as advertised!
The washroom facilities were excellent; clean and warm; with hot water and heaters! We appreciated the honesty hut and treated ourselves a couple of times.
We loved the wildlife: bats, deer and owls all seen from the site, and we also; for the first time in all out camping trips enjoyed the use of a fire pit!
We loved the lack of pitches, meaning it was a quiet site!

Holly B. Oct 2024

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The location was absolutely stunning, beautiful walks on the doorstep, forest, fields and beautiful lake…15 minute drive to local town. We will be coming back with the kids.
Pitched our tent in non-electric area and we were surrounded by tall trees, ferns and a small stream we could hear trickling past our pitch.
Facilities were great and close to the pitch but not too close to get in the way of the comping experience. Saying that, the Wi-Fi was even better than expected!

outside washing area for dishes and two large wet rooms that were warm and clean with cleaning supplies available also!
The honesty hut was the cutest touch too with snacks and treats that were clearly made with love and care! ☺️
This was the loveliest little camping spot iv been to and would have loved to stay longer!

Disliked: No dislikes, thought it was perfect!
Exactly what I was looking for but more than expected!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Very small camping area with only 3 pitches but an amazing location amongst the trees with the sound of running water. Only a 5 minute walk to the lakeside which is ideal for water sports and swimming. The included fire pits and cooking tripod are also a big bonus

Fredrecia H. Sept 2024

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Separate pitches to log cabins ect, close to clean toilet and shower facilities. Close to park your car next to pitches, and only few pitches so easy to book a large group together less likely to be disturbed by other pitchers.
Walk across the road and your at the lakeside.

Disliked: The only negative to say would be the ground is so rocky, its hard to peg, and/or pegs get bent.

Connor G. Sept 2024

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Small site surrounded by trees and only a stones throw away from the showers/toilets makes it a great place to get set up and settled in.

The site is beautiful, the hosts were very helpful when needed but left us to ourselves otherwise which for us was PERFECT!

The waters edge of Coniston is literally 5 minutes away on foot even carrying kayaks / paddle-boards

This was our second stay bringing along new family members and we’ll definitely be back in the future

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Toilets/showers very clean. Little honesty box/tick shop hut was a cool idea.

Disliked: The camp site itself was tiny, like 5 pitch spaces quite close together, I was just expecting a field to stay in not a cirled area covered by trees. Still good though.
Had to wmail for the WiFi password.

Local attractions

To stick to the ground or to go up into the treetops? You’ll be pulled in both directions in Grizedale Forest (half an hour's drive), thanks to its sculpture trail and the Go Ape obstacle trails in the trees. This is just one of the local areas rich in nature, as the mountain hike up the Old Man of Coniston (15 minutes) is a real beauty spot. Lake District locations go almost hand-in-hand with water activities and none more so than Windermere (20 minutes), where there’s bike or boat hire, canoeing and kayaking or waterskiing and wakeboarding classes. But while The Dock Museum (half an hour) is one way to learn about the water, it’s not all about that. There’s also a Buddhist temple at Conishead Priory (20 minutes), the Lakeland Motor Museum (15 minutes) and the National Trust Hill Top with Beatrix Potter’s house (25 minutes). William Wordsworth has made Grasmere (40 minutes) a particularly interesting village for literary fans, while those of you searching for some more history will find that in the fortresses of Wray Castle (half an hour) and Muncaster Castle (40 minutes).
