We've just bought a new tent, after a 7 year break from camping. I've also got a kayak.

We're in Birmingham.

It might be a big ask, but does anyone know of a good site within an hour of Brum where we can combine the two hobbies. We plan to go to Lake Bala at some point, but it's too far for a term-time weekend. If anyone knows of something suitable then please let me know.

I suppose we could go up to 90 minutes away if we have to, but I'd rather be able to pick the children up from school on a Friday afternoon, drive there, set up and eat without rushing too much. 

Thanks, but I'm hoping that someone will know somewhere we can do both. Finding a campsite is easier than finding a lake where you can use boats. Bala was an ideal example because there's a site there with its own beach onto the lake.

I know there are some boat people on here, and hopefully one of them can suggest somewhere. I thought that was clear from my post.

This is not far from you but not sure if it's what you're looking for.

Not sure if it is suitable, however, have a look at Fforest Fields as they have a sizable boating lake and kayaks for hire.
