Ullswater Holiday Park

Syntes om Went with my son so he was happy with the children's play area. The pitches were all nice short grass which were thoroughly raked. Excellent for throwing our tent up.

Syntes ikke om If you're tenting here you need a car/van full stop. It's too far from anywhere to not have your own transport.

There is a bar with a big room but entertainment was only one night out of our 2 nights and it was a man with a guitar doing cover songs. Granted he was good at his job. In my mind there would have been scope for nightly bingo or some other such entertainment that can involve the kids aswell. Bingo in hotels and the like always goes down well with all.

The onsite chippy is basically a waste of time for people on site camping. All sorts of people from the local area travel in to use the chippy and the cars are backed up out the site gates. I ended up driving out to Penrith cos I'd set my heart on a chippy meal, as had my son. I was made up we did because we went to Angel Lane chippy in Penrith and it was absolutely lovely and well worth the money.

Fra bestyreren: Thanks so much for sharing your experience — we really appreciate honest feedback, even when it’s tough to hear.

Transport: You're absolutely right, this is why we invested in the hopper bus that now runs through the summer holidays that will pick you up directly from the campsite and take you down to Pooley bridge or Glenridding There's also a local bus that comes to the bottom of the hill that will take you further a field. We’re tucked away for that peaceful countryside feel, and this is perfect for hikers and customers that are wanting to explore the beautiful lake district by foot.

Entertainment: We’re glad you enjoyed the musician — he’s a local favourite! That said, your suggestion about more entertainment, we do have a kids disco on every Saturday with Bingo and Quiz nights which our customers love.

Chippy Queue: We hear you loud and clear. The popularity of the chippy with locals is a double-edged sword, and we’re sorry it disrupted your plans. The on site Fish & Shop is certainly making a name for its self and becoming extremely busy with the best catch of the day. However we are exploring ways to better manage traffic.
Angel Lane is a gem though — glad you and your son had a great meal there!

Thanks again for taking the time to write this. Your feedback helps us grow, and we hope we can welcome you back with a few improvements next time.

Syntes om Really nice family friendly site. Clean facilities and lovely views. Decent bar/games room and chippy on site too

Syntes om Excellent access to Pooley Bridge and the surrounding area, well signed and easy to find, generally clean and well kept. Good park for kids. Pretty sheltered from wind.

Syntes ikke om The toilets are badly distributed. The furthest camping pitches the camping overflow field (about 40 pitches all together) and about 20 touring caravans have easy access to one cubicle, one sink and one shower per gender. There are others on the site and some of them are very nice. They're just not easy to get to. This means that the toilets that are there are in very heavy use and for a couple of days had no soap.

The pitches are extremely hard and you need heavy duty tent pegs.

There's no enforcement of the group policy, noise policy or loose dogs / dog exercising policy, so don't expect the site to be as quiet as advertised. Yes, there's an emergency contact number but I don't really see enforcement of site rules as an emergency and telling the office the next day doesn't really help with at good night's sleep.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're genuinely sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations, and we appreciate your detailed observations.

We understand how important access to clean and well-distributed facilities is, especially in the overflow field. Your comments about the limited amenities and the temporary lack of soap have been noted, and we’re actively reviewing how we can improve both the distribution and maintenance of our facilities.

Regarding the pitch conditions, you're absolutely right—some areas do require heavy-duty tent pegs due to the terrain. We’ll look into how we can better communicate this in advance to help guests prepare.

As for site policies around noise, groups, and dogs, we regret that enforcement fell short during your stay. While we do provide an emergency contact, we agree that proactive management is key to ensuring a peaceful environment.

Your feedback is a valuable reminder, and we’re working on ways to strengthen our on-site presence and responsiveness.

We’re grateful you brought these issues to our attention. It’s through honest reviews like yours that we can continue to improve the experience for all our guests.

Syntes om The site was very clean, well organised and the staff were very friendly.

Syntes ikke om The glamping pods are way too close to the kids park. It was very noisy during the day. It feels like the pods have just been put in the wrong place. You dont get the peaceful vibes that you expect when booking a pod.

Luckily the kids park seemed to close at about 10-10:30pm so theres a slight relief until 7am when it starts again!

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for your feedback, this is something we are trying to resolve to make a more peaceful stay for customers.

Syntes om Absolutely outstanding. Superb location. Great access to Ullswater Lake and the surrounds. Fantastic site with really great facilities which would be suitable for all types of visitors, young and old, couples like us, or whole families. The showers, toilets, and washing facilities were the best and by far the cleanest of all of the sites we visited in the Lake District. The staff are outstanding - so helpful and friendly, and this even included an offer of help to tow our motor home out of some mud when we got stuck in Ullswater. The additional opportunity to take our motor home to the Marina was an added bonus. Highly recommended for the facilities and the amazing warmth and friendliness of all the staff we interacted with. The on-site Ullswater Chippy was excellent too and also highly recommended - well worth the queue (it is very popular!)
