We have a small inflatable boat with an engine and are after recomendations for a good site on a lake side.

Also there will have to be a park due to us having children.

We have stayed at a few in the Lakes but would like some fresh and new ideas.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there,

we have a Honwave 3.8 IE with a 15hp engine and for me the best place is Waterside house farm at Pooley bridge on Ullswater. The campsite is good, stunning scenery and the site has it's own slip way, free of charge.

I was going to say I thought there was site on Ullswater at Pooley Bridge with direct access to the lake. Park Foot was the one I was thinking of though, pretty sure they have a private beach to lauch boats from. Not been there myself.

Also the National Trust Site at Low Wray has direct access onto Windermere, but I don't think you can take powered craft on there.

Waterside house is next door so to speak to Park Foot, but Park Foot is a bit more rowdy and the launch area (doesn't actually have a slip) has no jetty unlike Waterside.
