Lake District: Campsites near public transport?

I'm looking to go camping in the Lake District (campsite, not wild) via train. Can anyone recommend campsites near the rail stations (Windermere, Oxenholme, etc)?. Ideally somewhere lakeside or near hiking spots, so there's stuff to do. Willing to be flexible on budget, as accessibility will be the main dealbreaker.

This might help. There’s some nice campsites round ullswater.
And it mentions a service linking campsites although the details don’t seem to be out yet.

Great Langdale Campsite is accessible by public transport ( bus ) and offers a discount for those who arrive without a car.
From Windermere station take the 505 or 599 bus to Ambleside, and from Ambleside you can pick up the 516 Langdale Rambler. For timetable information, call 0871 200 22 33 or visit Traveline or Cumbria County Council.2 -
Thanks for the recommendations. These look good, so I've got a few things to go on now.0

Are there any campsites with public transport that are close enough to the trails to the peaks. I have a friend who's not so clever on their legs if the climbs are too long and arduous. They can manage Mam Tor (The Peak District) on good days. (Sorry to hijack this thread.)0

We had a thread last autumn about camping without a car which may be of interest:
