Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the peaceful, clean surroundings and found our team helpful. It’s great to know the bar, chippy, coffee shop and our little cake shed all hit the spot. We’re especially pleased you loved the shuttle bus service — it’s a favourite for many of our guests.

Hearing that you had nothing to dislike truly makes our day. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another relaxing stay.

Positiv Very nice site, clean & tidy, toilet blocks well kept, staff lovely, we forgot the connector for the hose to water source & the kind lady behind reception lent us one for the duration of our stay, bar staff also lovely and welcoming, very accommodating to dogs with a bookable dog park which was really handy and a fabulous cake shed which we visited frequently.

Negativ Only downside I would say is it’s quite far from the nearest town pooley bridge (a good hours walk) which I wouldn’t usually mind but on busy lanes with no bushes cut back for walking (again not the sites fault) but just a heads up if your wanting to get out walking from the site rather than drive out, also the bar/arcade didn’t open until 4pm which is quite late on I guess if you have children.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the site and found everything clean, tidy, and well kept — especially the toilet blocks. It’s great to know our team made a positive difference too. The lady on reception will be so pleased to hear her small act of lending the hose connector helped make your stay easier. And we’re glad you felt welcomed by the bar staff as well.

It’s wonderful that you and your dog enjoyed the bookable dog park, and we completely agree — the cake shed is dangerously tempting!

We appreciate you mentioning the walk to Pooley Bridge. You’re absolutely right: while the area is beautiful, the lanes can be narrow and not ideal for everyone, especially with limited verges. Although it’s outside our control, your note is really helpful for future guests considering walking routes. We also take on board your thoughts about the bar and arcade opening times, especially for families.

Thank you again for your kind words and for recommending us. We’d love to welcome you back for another stay.

Positiv For such a big site it was lovely and quiet as we were the end away from the play park. Bar/ lounge lovely and nice fish and chips. The site is central for a lot of places in the lakes.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, especially being on the quieter end of the site away from the play park. It’s great to know you liked the bar and lounge too and that the fish and chips hit the spot.

We’re also really pleased you found the location convenient for exploring so many parts of the Lakes. Hearing that there was nothing you disliked truly makes our day.

We’d love to welcome you back again soon.

Positiv The campsite is generally clean and well maintained, which is definitely a positive aspect of the stay. The shower facilities are kept in good condition and are cleaned regularly, making them comfortable to use. The overall area of the park is tidy, with visible effort put into keeping the surroundings in order. It feels organised and safe, and there is a sense that basic hygiene standards are properly maintained throughout the site. The natural surroundings are also pleasant, and the location itself is nice for people who enjoy camping in a more simple and quiet environment. For a short stay, the cleanliness and basic upkeep are probably the strongest points of Ullswater Holiday Park.

Negativ The main downside of Ullswater Holiday Park is how basic the facilities are. There is a clear lack of practical amenities for campers, especially for longer stays. There are no fridges available for guests to store food, which makes it inconvenient for anyone not eating out every day. The cooking and food storage options are extremely limited. There was only one microwave available, and it felt very insufficient for the number of people using the campsite. Overall, the kitchen or shared facilities area feels underdeveloped and not well equipped for modern camping expectations.
In addition, the level of comfort is quite minimal. While the site is clean, it does not offer much beyond the essentials. For the price and location, some guests may expect more convenience or additional facilities. This makes the stay feel quite basic and less comfortable, especially for families or longer visits. Because of this, the overall experience can feel a bit disappointing if you are expecting more than just the very minimum required for camping.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I’m glad you appreciated the cleanliness and upkeep of the campsite — the team works hard to keep the facilities in good condition.

I understand that everyone has different expectations when camping. Ullswater Holiday Park is designed as a more traditional camping experience, where people bring their own equipment and enjoy cooking on a stove or BBQ rather than relying on kitchen-style facilities. Many guests choose this type of site because they prefer a simpler, back‑to‑nature stay rather than a hotel‑style setup.

That said, your feedback is still valuable. Some visitors do look for more amenities, especially on longer stays, and it’s helpful for the park to hear different perspectives. Hopefully you still enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and peaceful atmosphere that make the area special.

Positiv The shower block was always pristine and very well looked after. Loved the space allocated to us, a touring pitch for a roof tent and tarp awning. Fish and chips shop on site was great to tuck into after summiting Skiddaw in the morning, calories + extra were definitley replenished.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for sharing such a lovely review. We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the pristine shower block, and that your touring pitch for the roof tent and tarp awning gave you the space you needed to properly relax. It’s great to know the on‑site fish and chip shop hit the spot after conquering Skiddaw — sounds like the perfect reward after a big morning on the fell.

Your positive comments mean a lot to us, and we’re delighted there was nothing you disliked. We’d love to welcome you back for another adventure soon.

Positiv All of it.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope to welcome you back again soon.

Positiv Great site and facilities, unfortunately we were only staying for one night on a pit stop back from Scotland, we knew the chippy and bar would be closed as it was a Monday, but we were impressed with what we saw and the location, and the lovely clean shower block and toilets... so will be back for a longer stay am sure, so we can do some walking, and probably opt for later in the week next time. Really grateful to the lovely lady that popped out to help us when we arrived after the reception had closed, she had already finished for the day, but went over and above when she saw us looking a bit lost outside... we'd been sent an email with late check in info and were contacted by another lovely lady by phone to say they were doing so, as we were later than planned due to traffic problems en route and we hadn't had chance to call ourselves to say we'd be late (sorry about that) so the email instructions and in person assistance was really helpful and appreciated. Will be back, and would recommend from our experience. Thanks so much.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you so much for leaving such a thoughtful and detailed review. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the site, the facilities, and especially the lovely clean shower block and toilets. Even though it was just a quick overnight stop on your journey back from Scotland, it’s wonderful to know the site and location made such a positive impression.

We’re especially grateful for your kind words about our team. The ladies who supported you with the late check‑in — both by phone and in person — will be thrilled to hear how much their help meant to you. They always aim to go above and beyond, and it’s lovely to see that recognised.

We’re really pleased the late check‑in instructions were helpful too, especially after a long day and unexpected traffic delays. No need to apologise we completely understand how travel days can go.

We’d love to welcome you back for a longer stay so you can enjoy some walking and experience the chippy and bar later in the week. Thank you again for recommending us it truly means a lot.
