If you want quiet and not commercial have a look at the C&CC club site at Eskdale in the western lakes. Much quieter than the more popular spots around Windermere, Bowness etc and absolutely beautiful. There are an awful lot of reviews on here and very few are negative. The site is 95% tents as their nlicence doesn't allow caravans due to the access (if you go over the hardknot pass you will know what I mean).
Not sure about the sunshine you want, this is the lakes you are talking about. You don't need to be a serious walker but there are some nice strolls around. Stanleyghyll falls is quite close and worth the fairly gentle walk. The village of Boot is a short walk and has a couple of lovely pubs for eating and the Boot to Ravenglass railway is a short walk from the site and Muncaster castle is a short walk from Ravenglass.
The next dale to the north is Wastwater which is probably the loveliest view in the lakes.
Words don't adequately describe the location so here are a few photos.Not quite got them in the right order but they are 1) pass going over towards Conniston 2) Boot / Ravenglass railway 3) Campsiteview and 4) Wastwater.
Good luck with your search.
