Hi can anyone recommend or suggest a site in the Lakes for 2 families of 2 adults and 2 kids each that may have tent pitches left available for the weekend coming (Sat & Sun), within walking distance of a family friendly pub if there is any chance!!

Hopefully

A friend got booked up at Park Foot (Nr Pooley Bridge) this morning.

Worth a try ?

heres the link

I have sent out a few emails and made several phone calls, all to no avail. Do you think there is a likely chance of spaces if we turn up on the Saturday morning on spec. We only live in Kendal so even if we have spent the day driving round the lakes and find nothing we can always come back home and pitch in the back garden.

I would give that a go, definately.

There is always a load of no-shows on Bank Holiday weekends, so it must be worth it.

Who knows, you may end up on the site of your dreams !!!!!!

Well we went from Kendal to Threlkeld, through Keswick and down past Thirlmere, Grasmere and Windermere. Lovely drive but not a pitch in site, we ended up in the back garden of a friend of a friend in Troutbeck Bridge (the lower one). Huge garden, with private lake access, and although it thundered and lightened and chucked it down most of the weekend, we had a fab time.  Even spotted a couple of great looking sites to try on quieter weekends than August bank holiday!

Thanks to all who replied with ideas.

I wish I would read things properly . Here I am giving you suggestions and you`ve already been!

Jacqui,

Thanks anyway, rang Fisherground on saturday morning and they chuckled down the phone at me when I asked if there was any chance of 2 pitches. Still had a great weekend and will try your suggestions before the winter arrives for real.
