    I think you need to gives us a few more clues slf. What sort of things do you like to do on holiday? Do you want to be close to a village for instance? Or is the back of beyond OK.

    If you're mainly into walking, how about Troutbeck Head or, if you're also in C&CC their site at Keswick which also gives you opportunity to explore the town? smile

    Both areas are worth seeing, not comparable really as they have their own delights. If you plump for one maybe others will give you their ideas about sites and places to visit nearby.

    I'd happily go to either area, hope you have a good time in September. smile

    We stayed here last September http://www.davidklyne.co.uk/llanberis_touring_park.html You can walk to from the site to quite a few attractions including the Snowden Mountain Railway.

    It is your choice.

    Without wanting to appear rude, why do you need advice from other people about where you should go?

    Love the Lakes but main issue is finding camp sites within close distance (ie walking) to towns and villages. Already booked for Keswick to https://www.castlerigg.co.uk/ for Ocober but have stayed on http://castleriggfarm.com/ which is just opposite as well.

    Both areas have their outdoor attractions. The Lake district, being the most picturesque area of England, has everything for the outdoor enthusiast.  Snowdonia in Wales is also very picturesque and an adventure area for the great outdoors.  Just choose one of them this time and the other the next time you are going away. There are loads of campsites in both areas.

    The CCC has 2 sites within Keswick.

    Park Coppice CMC site is an easy walk into Coniston. 

    There is a commercial site in Hawkshead.

    The CCC has a site in Bowness-on-Windermere.
