Wondered if anyone could help please.
We're looking for site with boat launch facilities/area on site - proper slip not necessary as will be canoes and wind surfers, and could be sea, lake or even river at a push.
Live in Leicestershire, happy to travel 200 miles ish from there.
Usually do Scotland, (daren't say where as some earlier posters have been told off for sending too many people there), but we've only got a week this year, so looking for somewhere nearer.
Only need electric, can do without toilet block etc.No kids, so somewhere rural would be fine as dont need amenities. Dog friendly would aslo help us a lot. Often use CLs but cant seem to find anything easily on the CC website!
Any advice would be really appreciated please.
Many thanks.

The first one that springs to my mind is Parkfoot at Ulleswater, but it's very family friendly and as you don't have kids it may be a bit busy for you. If you really need electric you would have to go on the main site, but if you could manage without then across the road is a large camping field where the boat launch area is. It's not a slipway, rather a 'cove' with a flat 'beach' and very shallow water, ideal for launching canoes etc.------------- Tigermouse

Have you thought of Bosworth water trust you can camp within meters of the water
Kingsbury water park (neer been)
I know they both get filled up in the summer early on so I would surgest booking.
There is a water park near cannock but I don't know if there is any camping near by

Is Padstow too far?
Dennis Farm campsite (01841 533513) has its own slip straight into the Camel Estuary. Unfortunately it does not seem to have any sort of website, but it definitely exists: some friends of ours go there every year and we have been to visit them there.
Its right next to Dennis Cove campsite on the outskirts of Padstow on the Camel Trail, and I think it might have originally been part of Dennis Cove at some time but then the camp site was split up between different owners. But don't quote me on that!

Maybe a little too far for you but Watermouth Cove has all you asked for and more, right next to a beautiful harbour, slipway, electric pitches and is dog friendly.
As an added bonus it also has toilets, a heated outdoor pool, a small on site bar and a couple of pubs within walking distance!
