We have just completed out first trip in our Wildax with the kids. We stayed at a great nice very close to Ullswater called the Quiet Site.
https://thequietsite.co.uk/
The site was very well kept, child friendly with nice pitches, not to cramped together.
Our pitch had water and hook-up, plus a drain.
There is a dedicated m/h service point with good facilities for emptying waste of all kinds.
The on-site shop and bar were excellent as were the toilet ans washing facilities, which were spotless clean and very warm.
On-site hot food was limited unless you are a sausage lover.
There are good walks form this site around Ullswater ranging from a couple of miles to much longer., but as with most Lake District walks, proper attire is best.
We took the van into both Keswick and Ambleside and found the public car parks very m/h friendly with large bays and no height restrictions.
As first trips go it went better than we could have hoped. My only anxious moment was my first encounter with an LPG pump at a garage but even that was ok. As expected the kids loved it, and didnt want their tech that much (top result). Sincei t was halloween there were lots of pitches with pumpkins out and quite a few families trick or treating.
The van performed flawlessly and was a pleasure to drive even through the narrow Cumbrian lanes.
Cheers,
Nick
