good evening,
I've trawled through lots of posts in the hope of finding a lovely (cost effective!) site for our family to head to the lakes for 4-5 days in august, 1st or 2nd week.
The ones I'm finding are coming out at twenty something per night (1 tent, 2 adults, kids, 7,5 and 2 and a puppy)
ideally the site will have showers but at least toilets! doesn't have to have out and out kids facilities, generally they are happy in a field.
It would be lovely to be near some water, with dog walks and a pub within walking distance would be ace!
Hollows farm ticks many boxes, but the cost screws it, similar story at low wray.
I guess we need somewhere that charges per pitch.
Can anyone point us to somewhere suitable?

thanks a lot

Try Side Farm at Ullswater.  We stayed there a few years ago and it was lovely.  Right on the water and not far to Patterdale on the other side.  Not to sure how much it costs now, but a very basic campsite and you can't book so if you arrive mid week there normally is no problem with getting a pitch. Quite a slope to the campsite but worth it for the lovely setting.

Hi, try bowkerstead farm nr Grizedale forest. They charge £6 per adult & £2.50 thats all,unless you buy wood from Arthur who owns the site then you can have a real campfire in the evening..

Just read the reviews their all good and my girls Aged 8&5 love it.

Lanefoot Farm was great, near Keswick. Two pubs within 15 mins walk, one that allows dogs. Great views of Skiddaw, allows campfires as well. I think it was 6.50 a night for adults, no charge for the dogs and £3 for electric. Facilities are very basic but ok, although it was relatively quiet. Found it was a great base for exploring the Lakes, loved it so much we are hoping to go back in September.
