One of a series of genuine search engine enquiries which successfully brought visitors to the Ministry. Can I help?
lake district camp sites that accept single sex couples
So far as I'm aware, that'd be all of them. How would a campsite owner know whether two people are a couple, or merely walking partners? I've frequently camped in the Lakes with male friends, and never encountered apparent hesitation. I haven't shared a tent, but I know people who do, especially on long-distance routes where carrying a tent each wouldn't be pragmatic.
I suppose I'm saying I believe you'd have less problems camping as a single-sex couple than finding a bed & breakfast room together; there's less to imply your status and there is an existing practice of two individuals camping together, irrespective of gender.
You will have noticed from your web search that many campsites do specify 'no single sex parties allowed', but that refers to large groups of potentially-rowdy lads; four or more might have problems, but two should be fine.
