Hi

I've got my tent so need to choose a site!  I've had a look at the listing and like the look of Gill Head Farm http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=4108

Easy access from M6/A66 and child friendly.  This will be our first family camping trip so I need to make sure kids are occupied - playgroung on this site. 

Anyone been? Is it a good base for the Lake? Plenty to do with kids?

Advice comments appreciated.

Read the first review on the link that you posted, doesn't sound too good.

Their are plenty of top class sites in the Lake District.  Which particular part of the LakeDistrict are you looking for?

Thank you for your replies.

As this is our first family trip we're not really sure where in Lake to go - hence the post.  Can anyone recommed a site?  I like the idea of a playground on the site and I guess easy access to short family walks.  The reason for my post was the mixed reviews that this site had recieved!

We're planning to go 3rd week in July Monday - Friday just before the schools finish.

Beezers - Thank you for your recommendations.  I'll check them out.

tracy35 -I looked at The Quiet Site it does look as though it could be an option.

Some site don't take books for tents should this be a problem?  Not sure whether to book or not we are going on 21st July.  I think schools break up later than this so maybe we could risk it!

Keep the suggetions coming!

I quite fancy the Quiet site, was supposed to be going to Anglesey but have decided on the Lakes instead, so has anybody actually stayed here, is it very expensive?

I sometimes camp at the Quiet Site, although I haven't been there for about three years.  It's a nice site, about a couple of miles up a narrow road with beautiful views, and about four or five miles from the nearest village/shops.  There is a small shop on site and a bar with childrens' play room.  The bar closes relatively early so there is no noise.  Have a look at their website for up to date prices etc.
