Go for it, wish i could get one more camp in, took all my hols from work though .

Plenty of layers and hot water bottles.

what about a haven site?  they do not suit all but out of school hols are usually pretty cheap, even compared to basic campsites and if cold/wet then there are indoor activities that won't cost you any extra ( if the kids stay away from the slot machines lol)   If you are thinking of the cumbria have a look at sites like Stanwix park for the same reason as Haven but a bit smaller.

Mind you just realised you have a teenager and they may find Haven too young for them so parks like Stanwix may be better.  don't worry about regiments spaces at this time of year

Some complaints about the site but many weather related or linked to small kids.  At this time of year it wont be full and for teenagers the pool and maybe gym would be good if bad weather

Camping in October - main thing is to make sure you have a good quality sleeping bags and a tent that definately will not leak. Go for it.

Re Lakeland, Cumbria, we went with our tourer a few years back in October half term and the camping/caravan area was just a big patch of muddy pitches even though there had not been a lot of rain.

Make sure you choose somewhere with good drainage.

Have a great time wherever you go.
