As above really..

We're going away for the may bank holiday and I never gave it much consideration really - thought hook up was for those of us lucky enough to have a campervan etc but after mooching around on the internet most of the morning, I've seen its quite popular.

So basically I'm after anybodies recommendations on campsites in the Lakes that have electric hook up for tents as well? I've tried looking specifically for camping sites with electric hook up but its obviously geared towards caravans and campers and I'm not sure whether sites would allow two people in a tent to use a pitch designed for caravans etc.

Also this will be my first time camping and using electric hook up, so what equipment do I need if anything to utilise the electric?

Thanks for any help in advance.

The Croft in Hawkshead has tent hookup but its the same price as a caravan and they still charge extra for showers - they even want paying to freeze your coolbox icepack

Fisherground is £5.50 per adult and £3.00 for electric. Also £2.00 for cars so for 2 adults, a car and EHU you looking at £16 per night.

3 night minimum stay on bank holidays - I always find that quite annoying, as I wouldn't mind travelling to 2 or 3 different sites over the weekend.

Thanks for the help so far anyway!
