I plan to rent a campervan, family size, and stay in the Lakes 31 Dec to 2 Jan 2018. Windermere area, ideally. I've never rented a van before. Is there a recommended place to park it? Are there any sites open then so that we can plug into the electrics etc?
Welcome to UKCS.
All I can say is good luck. Really. It strikes me you're very late to be looking at hiring a campervan. And the sites that are best for New Year were booked up long ago - the Lake District especially.
Let us know how you get on. I'm sure you'll all enjoy your adventure.

hi ,lakes and fells looks ok its at the bottom end of lake windermere,it might suit you ,we keep saying we must try it ourselves.open all year.
Just a word of warning-the approach road to this site, up the side of the lake, is very narrow and twisty most of the way so I wouldn’t recommend it for an inexperienced camper van driver with anything much bigger than a car/small van sized vehicle.
