I'm thinking of taking my canoe on a couple of family weekends to North Wales and the Lakes (not at the same time!). Trouble is I don't know many sites, other than Glanllyn in Bala, that have access to a lake or nice river from their site.
Does anyone have some suggestions for suitable sites please?
Here's hoping.
Thanks

Geology Rocks!

I would be interested as well. We have stayed at Glan Llyn which is a lovely site We used our dingy on days that they weather permitted. However, we've not long bought a canoe, and would love to find a site,within about 2 hours from Liverpool were we could use it.
Fforest Fields near Builth Wells in Mid Wales has a 'man-made' lake which people use for dingies, kayaks and swimming - it is a lovely site. May be a bit out of your search area though. Sarah x
If the weather continues... we are going to re-classify ourselves as the 'Lake District'!! My wellies are getting webbed as they evolve to the weather :(
I dont think there are many caravan parks (assuming you are using your van) near lakes in snowdonia. I would imagine planning permission would be hard to come by. There is one alongside the Conwy river called cwmlanerch. I don't know anything about it apart from what it says on their website.
If it is camping in a tent then there will be a few more possibilities. Sorry I can't be of more help.

We've just returned from a campsite near to Chester called Netherwood. The site has direct access to a Canal and our neighbours brought along their canoes. It's a great site, I've left a review but it's no good if you have children as it is adult only.
Its a beautiful location. The area gets its fair share of midges in the summer months, but they seem to be everywhere this summer - the rain might have something to do with that.
You could Try Lucksall caravan park Mordiford near Hereford , adjacent to the river Wye ,they have large pitches by the river ,also have a conoe launching area , the fishing is excellent , allthough you feel like you are in the middle of no where , you are only 15 mins away from Hereford town centre
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
