Caravan sites near water

Does anyone know of, or can recommend, any touring caravan sites in the Lake District that have access to the water directly from the site.

Maybe Coniston or Windermere. We've found a couple that look nice, for instance Coniston Park Coppice, but it's 400 yards to the lake and uncertain as to whether you could drag a SIB from the site to the launching area.

This is for next year, there's also a site at Bowness ln Windermere but again it's unclear as to whether there's launching available.

l've called the sites but as yet haven't heard back.

You could try having a look through these. It is divided by region.

Waterside farm camp site is a few hundred yards past park foot towards howtown & also has lake access which is probably closer than park foot's as you have to head down a dirt track to the lake edge at park foot & the closer you camp to the water the further from the facilities you are.
Its further to walk/stagger back from the pub in pooley bridge though. [emoji6]

There is a site with access at Coniston near the boating center. I can't find any information about it though but seen it while I've been on the Lake. It's between the boating center and the Gondola ferry.
You'd have to have a trip out and visit.
The camping and caravan club have a site with direct access at Keswick for Derwent water too.
