The village of Coniston is charming and practically unspoilt by tourism. It has a family butcher and fresh bread which eases the self-catering option. There are also some wonderful traditional pubs in Coniston, just perfect for those occasions that cooking seems too much of a chore! Say Coniston Camping to anyone in our family and immediately we conjure up childhood memories of camping at Coniston Hall, by Coniston Water. Sometimes very boggy, sometimes very hot, sometimes with fabulous autumn leaves to kick through.

Coniston Hall

Coniston Hall is now property of the National Trust. It was originally a manor house for the Le Fleming family. The impressive chimney stacks make Coniston Hall a very impressive building.

Coniston Hall campsite takes advantage of the Manor's great location on the edge of Coniston Water. The campsite is large and does take groups, which can make the site noisy at times. The site is within easy walking access of Coniston village, by footpath (about fifteen minute walk). This Coniston campsite is also ideal for exploring the Coniston Coppermines and Coniston Fells. Coniston Hall campsite takes tents and motorhomes(check first re:size), but not caravans. Some of the pitches are stony, so it is advisable to take heavy duty pegs. Normally open March - October

If you are self-sufficient, in a caravan or motor home, and looking for a quiet retreat, then contact Mrs Inman at Sheperds View, Torver. About 3 miles south of Coniston on the Blawith road Sheperds View takes only a handful of caravans/campervans and is a basic site which has a chemical disposal unit.

My parents used to stay at the Inman's every Easter (when they had their camper van) and were always grateful to find a quiet corner of Coniston. For more details contact Mrs Inman directly on 01539 441239
