Keithl Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Hi ips, I liked the look of Pier Cottage Caravan Park in Coniston, right on the shores of the lake and walking distance into the village, but when I tried to book for October they said they where closing a month early to install EHU so I've had to find an alternative. if you go let us know what it's like please.

LordThornber Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Two smashing recommends there by the looks of them. I'm intrigued by the one in Coniston, I'm no expert but I thought I knew the place quite well but have no idea where that site is. In edit, just found their website which is under construction, the site is reached by a road which branches off towards the Lake, the road is at the top end of the town. I'm sure I've not seen it on previous visits though 8-) Martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arthur49 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Mike P - 2014-05-21 10:19 AM Try Mains Farm Kirkoswald near Penrith. On the river Eden, quiet, brilliant views, 2 good pubs and village shop 400 yards up the road, Mike P Thank you to you and Keith for these 2 sites - both look very interesting. Mains Farm pitches appear to be grass. How is ground in wet weather do you know? Is drainage good (I'm a big cowardy custard and don't like risk of getting bogged down) :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike P Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Mains Farm site very well drained, quite sandy soil. Pretty level, gentle slope betond drops down to the river. Mike P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keithl Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 ips - 2014-05-23 9:28 PM Ended up on a site near Ripon... ips, You asked for recommendations in NW. Ripon is NE! (Well it certainly is from your neck of the woods!!!) Anyway sorry to hear your pick wasn't that good, would you care to name and shame or at least give us a link. And was it recommended or did you pick at random? Just curious so we don't make the same mistake in the future :-( Cheers, Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ips Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 Hi Keith its a long story we had this site booked for a few weeks to attend a sporting event in the area, said event got canceled last minute so we asked for help from the forum. As we could not book anything we came here anyway. Will report in more detail when i have left. Lol breakfast on new cadac as micro won't work.
