Story

Coniston Water in Cumbria is the third largest lake in the English Lake District. It is five miles long by half a mile wide (8 km by 800 m), has a maximum depth of 184 feet (56 m), and covers an area of 1.89sqmi. The lake has an elevation of 143 feet (44 m) above sea level. It drains to the sea via the River Crake.Geography and administrationConiston Water is situated within the boundaries of the historic county of Lancashire. Today Coniston Water forms part of the administrative county of Cumbria.Coniston Water is an example of a ribbon lake formed by glaciation. The lake sits in a deep U-shaped glaciated valley scoured by a glacier in the surrounding volcanic and limestone rocks during the last ice age.To the north-west of the lake rises the Old Man of Coniston, the highest fell in the Coniston Fells group.Etymology" 'The king's estate or village'. The 2nd el. is OE tūn, and the whole name may, like numerous English Kingstons, be from OE 'cyninges-tūn'.... Scand influence is, meanwhile, shown by the '-o-' of early and modern spellings, and Ekwall speculated that this could have been the centre of a 'small Scandinavian mountain kingdom' ". Plus "OE 'wæter', with the meaning probably influenced by its ON relative 'vatn'." (OE=Old English; ON=Old Norse).

Im going to be honest, BRING CASH!!!! They don't have a card reader and there is a petrol station down the road to go get cash out. We love this campsite, we always come as a group of people aged 22 - 28 and its often hard to find a campsite which allows a bit of actual fun, the field is VERY big so there's lots of room and on the weekend they open up the big field which is directly next to the lake! The site is right by the lake and has a few different paths to the beautiful lake. lots of shaded areas with the trees by the bank of the lake too. Pretty Dog friendly as long as they aren't running wild / riot. Toilets are a big block, relatively clean and well kept! Showers are 50p so keep a handful of them free. They aren't super long either. They have a very expensive food truck that parks up to do breakfasts and sometimes pizzas It's a 20-30 min walk into Coniston town from the campsite entrance. The closest shops are all in here. They give you a pass which allows you to come back in with your car fairly easily, it costs £20 deposit so don't lose it like we did. All in all, great location just a big of a fuss with no card reader *cough cough** tax reasons probably
Due to spending most of my spare time in the lake district, Coniston Hall has become a bit of a go to for me If I find my self wanting somewhere easy to stay. It can be noisy during busy periods of the year and can be a bit of a party site at times but I have also stayed during quiet times which have been quiet tranquil. The facilities are basic but clean. The location is right alongside the lake so easy access for swimming, kayaking and paddleboarding.
Stay well away!! Nothing but bad mannered we had been driving hours to get to this place as we always go camping so thought we would try it as it has a lake amd we have 10year old boy with special needs it was a hot day we arrived they said cash only we asked politely could we park up and nip to the cash point as we was all to hot amd had to get out they was nothing but rude wouldn't let us threw the gates an. Would never recommend to anyone staff was disgustingly rude and horrible very upsetting and distressing for my boy as he was in tears
Busy, loud, overpriced and litter everywhere. What's not to love!? Quite a lot actually! Poor, dirty facilities for £26 a night! And on top of that they charge for cold dirty showers. Loud music till the early hours and the staff don't want to know! Conniston water is this places only saving grace! Don't think I'll be coming back. An absolutely disgraceful campsite!!
I have just come back from a 2 day camp here over the previous weekend. I have been several times before, but this time I was left feeling unwelcome and annoyed. From initially parking up to pay I was met with rudeness from the front desk and was left feeling like I was not welcome at this campsite. Which was surprising, considering the cost per night with sun-par facilities. Also, had to front an additional deposit on top of all of the costs! We initially did not put up a gazebo, but after a quick walk through to he campsite it was clear to see this rule does not really apply Which is a silly rule to begin with. That weekend it rained quite a bit so we decided to put up the gazebo to keep ourselves dry. Whilst we was packing up an older man who was clearly looking for an argument or has lost the use of his vision called us very unpleasant names and stated I would not be receiving my deposit back due to the gazebo and a mess around our campsite which was non existent. We left the campsite spotless as we always do. This man and the staff have a clear issue against young men on their campsite. Resulting in a very bad stay. Would not recommend.
Well maintained site with access to a stunning lake. Can be a little difficult to get into if you arrive at busy times due to the small car park at check in. A great pizza van on site and a just as good breakfast van for that early morning coffee and sandwiches. The only flaw is the distance to the 1 toilet and shower block. Can be a bit of a pain if you are having a few drinks. All in all I had a fantastic weekend break with the family.
Price is pretty decent and location is amazing. But on a summer weekend this place is rammed, thousands of people. Chaotic like a festival but without the music. They must make tens of thousands of quid PER NIGHT when it's full yet there's one toilet block and the water taps are free and far between. Greedy. Would recommend but not during peak season. They only accept cash as well which in this day and age amounts to nothing but a tax swindle and makes the whole-checking in very inconvenient
Always love this campsite, you might get a slight bit of music into the night but never usually enough to stop you from sleeping. Great access straight to the water, walking distance to the village with multiple shops, pubs & food spots Some areas are rocky when pitching up but manageable & worth it just for the location. It will get busy on summer weekends, the entire Lake District does… get there early or prepare to be disappointed
I’m all for people having a good time but most of the people staying here seem to have zero consideration for others. We ended up leaving after one night. Shouting and music until 5:30am meant no sleep and ruined our plans for the next day :
Been here before and I had been treated rather well, however I we t back recently and was not impressed with the impression we had been given. We turned up for a friend's birthday and asked about camping, they said it was £12 a person plus they would need £100 noise deposit to be paid in cash, which was ridiculous. We also felt that the staff didn't seem to have the time for us and had been a touch short with us. However outside of the staff the facilities or ok, the pizza wagon is quite nice and the area is beautiful and is worth the money.
