Hi everyone,

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

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.

Park Foot at Pooley Bridge has direct access to Lake Ullswater.

Super site with just about everything but a bit pricey.

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

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.

They have a tents only field but they do take caravans on the main field next to the lake.

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.

Thanks everyone,  that's four or five more sites to add to my list. :-)

I forgot about Park Foot!  I stayed there many moons ago and went fishing on the lake.  I forgot it had access from the site.

If I manage to get away in the next couple of weeks, I will post a topic and let you know what the site was like.

Moonseeker, I will let you know if I find anywhere else.

Thanks again everyone.
