This year we returned to our favourite caravan club site, Park Coppice on the banks of Lake Coniston.
See the link below
We enjoy this site as it has direct access to the lake and has a relaxed atmosphere and you're not constantly on edge about how much noise your kids are making. The wardens are friendly and relaxed no more so than when kids are biking or scooting around site even against the one way system for cars (this action at previous sites would have caused the wardens to have a meltdown).
Obviously common sense needs to prevail.... Something our eldest son was lacking as he sped downhill on his sisters pink scooter only to be confronted by a vehicle, his bailout took him straight into the kerb where he was unceremoniously ejected from the pink scooter badly bruising his big toe and no doubt his pride!
We have always chosen to pitch up down the bottom end of the site I think the pitch number this year was 123 the picture is of the pitch we chose, we find the toilet block down here less busy than others on site and very well maintained.
The other main reason is with access to the lake down this end it's quick and easy to take the dogs out for their morning walk also it's not as far to carry the inflatable dinghy when it's time for a spot of bobbing about on the lake.
From the access road down to the lake you walk down a small hill through a gate and into the Coniston Hall campsite which particularly at weekends is busy, we enjoy walking through this campsite as it always seems to have a good atmosphere with groups camping together having barbecues, you can either cut down to the lake or walk through the campsite towards Coniston Hall and then onwards through the fields to the Coniston jetty where you will find various water sports,boat hire and a cafe.
Alternatively there is a path from the top end of the site near the reception that leads to the Ship Inn if your thirst needs quenching!

There are other pubs and shops in the village of Coniston, I would recommend a visit to the The Sun
