anyone recommend some good winter campsites in the lakes or yorkshire dales?
looking for something suitable to take the kids for a weekend, not to remote.

Grizedale forest. There is a campsite/riding centre slap bang in the middle of it. Your allowed open fires on it too and the owner even brings you wood in the evening..
I'd second the NT sites, especially if you've kids in tow. Langdale site can be flood prone if its v wet tho'
Yep, lovely site – take a snorkel!
The Grizedale link doesn’t say anything about open fires – is that for definite?

I was there at the start of September and it was definite then. The owner is always riding about on his quad bike he brings the wood at tea time/early evening. A bag of kindling and a bag of Oak chunks i think they were ( heavy dense slow burning and need splitting a bit more imo). Best campsite i've used, you can pitch in the woods if you like so tarps etc would be ok i think.
Are those woods in the background part of the site ? I`m just thinking of a possible meet-up
I was thinking of these in the bottom right picture

No its the ones where the camping pods are above the main field. If you look on their home page its the ones behind the house its seperated from the family field by 250 yards or so and nearer the toilets/showers (which are immaculate i might add)
