If you want to experience proper camping in one of the best locations in the Lake District, Waterfoot Car Park Campsite at Ullswater is absolutely worth a visit.
The location is fantastic. Our pitch was only around 20 metres from the beautiful Ullswater, with incredible views in every direction. You really can’t ask for much more when it comes to camping. 🌄🏕️
It’s also just a 5-minute walk into Pooley Bridge, which is perfect for grabbing food, having a drink or simply exploring the area without needing to move the car.
This is proper, back-to-basics camping — and that’s exactly what makes it so good. There’s no electricity, no fancy facilities and no unnecessary extras. Just the essentials: water and toilets. The toilets are portaloos, but they were clean, usable and well maintained during our stay.
You wake up with Ullswater right on your doorstep, surrounded by stunning 360° views. Whether you’re sitting outside your tent with a coffee in the morning, watching the sun go down or heading out to explore the Lake District, the location is hard to beat.
If you’re looking for luxury glamping, this probably isn’t the place for you. But if you want to get back to basics, pitch your tent near the lake and experience the best of what Ullswater camping has to offer, I honestly couldn’t recommend it enough.
For me, this is what camping should be. 🏕️⛰️
If you want to experience the best of Ullswater camping, put Waterfoot Car Park Campsite on your list. You won’t regret it.

Liked We’ve just come back from a weekend camping at Solway Holiday Park, and honestly, this place is a hidden gem. There were six of us in total, including three kids, and we all had an absolutely fantastic time.
The tenting area is beautiful – loads of space, very scenic, and perfect for setting up camp without feeling crowded. The facilities were excellent too: the showers and toilets were spotless and well maintained, which makes such a difference when camping.
On top of that, the entertainment and activities on site are easily 5-star. There’s plenty to keep both adults and kids happy, and the staff really go above and beyond to make sure everyone is having a good time.
If you haven’t been to Solway Holiday Park yet, I’d highly recommend it. It’s top notch – a brilliant spot for families, groups, or anyone just wanting a great camping getaway.
Disliked Nothing - maybe the weather but still amazong
