You either love camping or you hate it: there is no halfway house, but even if a camping hol is not your bag you must at least appreciate the scenery of the Lake District. Admittedly the weather can be changeable, even in Summer, but walking there in the hills and valleys is something to savour and remember for years to come. If you go to the Lakes then you should be prepared for whatever weather Mother Nature decides to provide on any given day. It can start out nice and sunny but can change to thick fog in the time it takes to blink an eye, so not only do you have to appreciate that fact but you also need to have the clothing to suit all climates.

On my first trip there many years ago I saw my first pair of Buzzards and was lucky enough to have remembered the binoculars, and so I was able to spend a wonderfully lazy afternoon watching them while my wife went off to do some shopping (which if memory serves me well was a tad on the expensive side as she was buying baby things). We were camping near Windemere at the time and moving around a night here and a night there just so we could experience the complete tranquility of the Lake District.

That's one of the beauties of camping; the fact that you are totally free to go more or less wherever the mood takes you; that and the added fact that it's cheap as well of course, and cost was a factor which had to be taken into account on that holiday 32 years ago as we had a new baby on the way - and she's cost us a fortune ever since!

I like to move around plenty when on holiday because I get bored in one place all the time.  I'm not one for crowds at all and much prefer to walk in the early morning up into the hills while the rest of the human race is having brekky. The Lake District then is perfect for unsociable people like me in that there is masses of space for you to be alone with nature. On the other hand, it gets a tad busy in summer, but the majority of these newcomers stay in B&B's rather than enjoy a camping holiday
