Hi everyone,

I'm thinking of taking my canoe on a couple of family weekends to North Wales and the Lakes (not at the same time!).  Trouble is I don't know many sites, other than Glanllyn in Bala, that have access to a lake or nice river from their site.

Does anyone have some suggestions for suitable sites please?

Here's hoping.

Thanks

this answer is of no use - sorry!

That would be just about anywhere in those areas at the moment then

I dont think there are many caravan parks (assuming you are using your van) near lakes in snowdonia.  I would imagine planning permission would be hard to come by.  There is one alongside the Conwy river called cwmlanerch.  I don't know anything about it apart from what it says on their website.

If it is camping in a tent then there will be a few more possibilities.  Sorry I can't be of more help.

I had thought of the llyn gwynant site but hadn't realised they took caravans.

Its a beautiful location.  The area gets its fair share of midges in the summer months, but they seem to be everywhere this summer - the rain might have something to do with that.

Thanks everyone,  that's four or five more sites to add to my list. :-)

I forgot about Park Foot!  I stayed there many moons ago and went fishing on the lake.  I forgot it had access from the site.

If I manage to get away in the next couple of weeks, I will post a topic and let you know what the site was like.

Moonseeker, I will let you know if I find anywhere else.

Thanks again everyone.
