Camp with views of ullswater (added by manager 28 jul 2022)

Camping area looking over towards the fells (added by manager 15 mar 2022)

Spacious family park with spectacular views of Lake District fells
Penrith a 20-minute drive and Lake Ullswater within a 30-minute walk
Marina, licensed bar with TV and a games room, shop and playground

If you reckon a site with stunning views of the Cumbrian fells sounds like your kind of place, head over to family-friendly Ullswater Holiday Park. Sitting a half-hour walk from the shores of Ullswater (where guests can use Fair Field Marina or spend time canoeing, fishing and riding the famed Ullswater steamers), this option’s in a fab location for touring round the Lake District National Park. Kids can mess about in the half-acre playground at this well-equipped place, while adults have an ale at the licensed bar or a Farrer’s coffee in the café. Wifi is available (around the reception area and bar, not the whole site) and there's also a shop for essentials (including groceries and camping equipment) and a few supermarkets are 20 minutes’ drive away in the nearest town of Penrith. The capital of Cumbria in days of yore, this place has the 14th-century fortress to prove it... If loping from local village to local village seeing structures such as this sounds like an excellent option too, ride one of the Lake Ullswater steamers stopping at settlements such as Pooley Bridge and Glenridding along with the Aira Force falls. After you’ve set eyes on the whooshing water, other attractions nearby include those that combine architecture with lush landscapes – like Dalemain Mansion & Historic Gardens, 10 minutes away, and Lowther Castle & Gardens (20 minutes). There's also the Rheged Centre Cinema, a heritage hub in an old quarry with a grass roof, gallery and 3D screen (15 minutes away). Please note that the games room and bar may not be available in the low season (check in advance for opening hours).

Liked: The facilities were extremely clean. Pitches a decent siz. Handy fish and chip shop if you don’t fancy cooking

Disliked: The toilet block was a bit dark. The shower cubicles were large with sepeterate drying area, but the head was not at the right angle so drying area got sprayed

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: This was the best campsite I have been in Lake District as far as location,facilities are great and clean,playground was in the centre of the pitches and if you set up your tent nearby you can check on kids without leaving your pitch.Available microwave in eating shed area and sockets to charge your mobile or pump your mat.

Disliked: Pitches could be a bit more hilly to allow water drain away from tent.

Abigail A. May 2024

FHU gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Fantastic site located within the heart of Ullswater, highly recommend!! During our stay we completed Ullswater Way, which is a 22.5 miles circular walk. We were able to pick up the walk straight from the campsite and many other fells. Lots of beautiful surroundings, animals and scenery. Facilities were also fantastic, a hopper bus which takes you around all the local tourist hot spots. Great clean modern toilets and hot showers. Fish and Chip shop was also delicious and appreciated after a day of walking.

Disliked: Nothing!

Local attractions

The Lake District doesn’t skimp on swish sights and attractions, and many of the best things to see and do in the national park – from bushcraft and watersports to golf and tennis – are within easy driving distance of the site. For classic Cumbrian walks Hallin Fell is a 20-minute drive away and the market town of Keswick, where you can go from perusing a pencil museum to dancing around the megalithic Castlerigg Stone Circle, is reachable in 25 minutes. A bit south of the town of Penrith (20 minutes) are the prehistoric Mayburgh Henge and Norman Brougham Castle. Other well-known Lake District settlements are also within easy reach along winding roads, like to Windermere (45 minutes away) and Ambleside (50 minutes). And if you fancy a crack at cantering instead of sitting in the car? Horse riding can be had from stables within a 15-minute drive, while guests who prefer roving on a revving vehicle can squat upon a quad bike and set off into the local lands (25 minutes from the park).
