On a dry, clear day, with the sun sparkling on the water and mountains brooding in the background, there are few finer places than the Lake District\u2026 but when the heavens open, your Swallows & Amazons family idyll can soon be submerged in gloom. One of the first areas in the UK to be designated as a national park, back in 1951, Lakeland is known for its natural beauty and wondrous walking, but theme parks and rainy-day recreation are thin on the daffodil-strewn ground.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The same goes for campsites and caravan parks in the Lake District proper – there are some stunning spots, but most offer seclusion and scenery rather than family fun and that all-important pool for downtime days. So, if you\u2019re taking the kids to Cumbria, it\u2019s best to find a base beyond the park boundaries and take day trips into the fells. We\u2019ve found five family-friendly caravan parks with swimming pools near the Lake District, each within an hour\u2019s drive of a classic walk or beauty spot. As a bonus, you\u2019ll have easy access to less familiar scenery, dog-friendly beaches, Michelin-starred restaurants, the remnants of Hadrian\u2019s Wall or the spiritual home of sticky toffee pudding. Unless stated, all the sites offer WiFi and electric hook-ups.<\/span><\/p>\n
