The Lake District's best camping pitch!

We took our VW California campervan to one of the best campsite pitches we've experienced, at Waterside House campsite on Ullswater in the English Lake District national park.
This is a working farm campsite on the waters edge so it's ideal for water sports. Taking this in to account, we stopped off at Decathlon to buy an Itiwit 3 inflatable kayak to take advantage of our perfect location.
Despite the strong winds, we managed to get out on the water and experience our first ever inflatable kayak jaunt! It certainly won't be our last.
The campsite has a stand up paddle board SUP shop where you can hire SUP's and hire a guide too, including all the gear needed. They have an onsite shop, take away restaurant/coffee shop and they also have a glamping area with pods, teepee's and bell tents.
Then there's numerous camping fields, with and without electric hook up, we opted for the lake side premium pitch number 3. It comes at a premium over other pitches but sometimes you just have to treat yourself.
We finished the journey off with a trip to Lowther castle, Alan has been to this estate for work in the past so we decided to check out the final effects of his work and have tea and cake while we were there. Of course, Sarah had to explore the ancient graveyard with its extravagant monuments and tombs which house some of the Lowther family.
