Hi,

Can anyone recommend a nice dog friendly site in the Lake District preferably near a lake to take our new folding camper with hook ups.

I know we have left it late.

We prefer grassy pitch instead of hardstanding,nicer for the dog.

Any help much appreciated

How about this one, you will certainly get your grass pitch here...

We are going to parkfoot in aug for a week,Kids are excited and the little ones are looking forward to it as well :)

Dog friendly,near the lake and we booked last week and got an EHU pitch so worth a ring if your stuck.

Thanks for all the replies.

We did go to Parkfoot a couple of years ago with the tent.

We found it very clean,convenient for the Lake,but very very busy.

Cheers all.

Well what can i say........

Went to Lowther Park for the week (last week) and had the best time ever...Obviously the weather helped but the site itself is fantastic.  River Lowther running right through, kids fly fishing (5 quid for a licence) , walks take you right through the Lowther Estate and the views are breathtaking.  The site facilities were spotlessly clean with an abundant of shower cubiles which easily fits an adult and 2 kids with its seperate step down section of the shower.  Showers free and well warm!  Pub , great beers, meals not mega cheap but great to have on hand if you really can't be bothered to cook, does cheaper versions for takeaway.  We stayed on a hardstanding pitch slightly shaded by the trees which was great.  My 6 year old was bold over when a cheeky red squirrel decided to run through his legs while he was stood  in the woods - amazing!!  Loved the walk to the castle and had a fab meal at the Punchbowl in Askham, what a gorgeous village.  BMX track for the kids, loads of adventure swings etc and a full fottie pitch - altogether perfic - in fact going back late August.  Hmmm i had to think twice about posting the review as half  of me wanted to keep this  secret - definately the best site we have stayed on so far.

There is a fantastic site in Keswick.  Its right on the shores of Derwent Water and about 5/10 minutes walk into Keswick town centre.  The sight is peaceful considering its close proximity to the town.

Keswick is a nice little town with everything you need: supermarket, bakers, postoffice, various pubs (The Banks Tavern - highly recommended ), various outdoor shops oh and a tasty Fish & Chip shop.

Nice big grassy site and dogs are more than welcome with a designated 'dog walk area'.

It is a club site (The Camping and Caravanning Club) but the site is open to all.

We have been there numerous times and will probably return again.
