Thinking ahead to next year already........

Travelling down from north Scotland to have 10 days camping at the Lake District

I have done several searches and i am overawed by the amount of sites there are. Obviously we would love to find the "ideal" site after travelling all this distance, and intend to stay the 10 days at one site.

Our criteria for the site would include, beutiful setting, good toilet facilities, pub onsite or near bye

Me and the girlfriend would be delighted if you could recomend us your campsites of choice

Thanks

Hi Chris and welcome to UKCS.

I have to recommend Fisherground Campsite, it's in wonderful surroundings and you can have a real fire. There is a choice of 2 pubs within walking distance. See the reviews.........

hello chrismk1

limefit park at troutbeck,windermere fits all your criteria, got its own pub, and theres another a short walk up the road thats nice as well,spotless toilets,fantastic setting,worth walking up the path up the hillside to take it all in ,, been a few years since i was there but cant imagine its changed at all.

Just come back from Limefitt.

the site is now virtually empty. The pub on site is pretty crap to be honest and is not serving food as most  of the staff have left.

the site is great, turn right ant an 8 minute walk gets you to the Queens Head (6 ales £2.20 - £2.50 / pint) and the Mortal Man is just past it!

And the bar of the Queen's Head is made out of a four poster bed!

Re beautiful setting - don't think you'll find a site in the Lake District that doesn't have this, might not all be lakeside views but all of them have something to offer.

Try sites around Keswick, town is a bit commercial, but plenty of pubs and just off the main A66 which is just off the M6. C&C club is in town.

i have visited quite a few campsites in lakes over the years, and can truly say that they are all more or less the same, apart from the ones tucked away in the corner of a farmers field with sheep and cows roamin around, but thats another story.

if i had to choose my favourite, possibly because as well of being a great site (like many others) it also has its own village on the doorstep, i would definately opt for 'the croft' at hawkshead, the beauty about it is if you don't like the pub your'e in - visit the next etc.etc.locals are quite friendly too.
