Any recommendations on a site? Must be very dog and family friendly, handy for walks, running etc, and by a lake would be nice  MY15 DIY Black Pack (Better than factory and half the price!)

The Keswick camping and caravanning club site is brilliant although how "family friendly" do you require
There is a play park, but no pool/games room etc like some commercial sites. The field is literally 50yards from the lake.
You can walk from the site up cat bells, round derwent water and up skiddaw if you are particularly fit! 5 minute walk in to town, and there is a booths supermarket for supplies right outside too.
It's our favourite site. 2014 D4 XS

Have a look at Skelwith Fold. It would tick a lot of your boxes. Man with no D3 anymore, but cant leave the forum....how sad.

Waterfoot Park, Pooley Bridge (Ullswater). Dog friendly pubs in the village, Ullswarer steamers, Hellvellyn, Catsty Cam & Glenridding on ferry. Good walk back to Pooley from Glenridding via Howtown. (If full Parkfoot is a good backup)

Fallbarrow in Bowness. Stayed a couple of times right on the lake, 2 mins from town centre, dedicated dog walk and very good facilities

Skelwith is great, the kids can roam for even and the dog walk out the back gate has the best views you can ask for. No lake but there is a National Trust property on Windermere you can get to in 10 minutes.
Meathorp near Grange over Sands is a CC site nice and close to the sea (big lake)
Coniston is another CC site and very near the water
Castlerigg is on a hill but the views of Derwent water are great.
Never stayed at the Keswick C&C site but its really local to everything and some great pubs in the town.
And yes it will rain , who cares its the Lakes Mark
Remember its only an obsession....

I didn't really rate ravenglass, it was in the middle of nowhere and you either had to go south and round or across the hardknot pass to get to the rest of the lakes. No supermarkets near by either.
The site owner also had a go at me when I unhitched my trailer and wheeled it on to my pitch rather than reverse it, telling me "if you can't reverse a trailer you shouldn't be towing one"
Sorry  for brains, I passed my B+E so yes, I can tow a trailer. I can also reverse a trailer. But unfortunately my trailer is so small that you can't see it in the mirrors, and by the time it appears it has swung to far round to recover. Hence I wheel it if having to reverse in to a bay.
