Can anyone recommend a nice site in the Lakes.

Requirements are:

Not too big a site

EHU

Clean showers & loos

Dont need all singing and dancing site - We are on our own so dont need to entertain children etc

Any ideas would be helpful - have looked at sites on here but seem to be going round in circles

Well I too would be interested in a quiet site in and around that area. As for the 'Nookie bit', well I can sleep through it, (when it's others lol!) just turn the earphone sound on the radio up a bit higher if it's that bad!

just wish I could have it all to myself!

Hi.

You never mentioned price !! If that is not a concern then The Quiet Site, Ullswater. Ideal for couples and families, has an oldy worldy bar....but I do think it has gone very expensive.

Martin.

That's the problem, with some of the prices they are charging up in the Lake District, you could book into a 'B and B', Not that any of us would though, it's just a comparison.
It's getting ridiculous now what some of the campsites are attempting to charge.

C&CC Eskdale (was Hollins Farm) is a top site in a great location. The NT at Wasdale is pretty good too and Castlerigg Farm is a good one near Keswick if you are in bed by 10.30 and have a tent that can stand the wind.

we stayed here over the Easter Bank Holiday http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/results3.asp?search=larches&by=sitename and we loved it. It's not technically inside the Lake District, I know, but it seems to fit the description of what you are looking for...

Delighted to hear all the good things about Eskdale. Just booked 2 weeks in July. I chose the site as it is away from the crowds but still accesible to the rest of the lakes.

My kids are really excited and my son has already resolved to 'do' The Old Man of Consiton.
