Pitch field (added by manager 11 may 2019)

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: What a wonderful site, the facilities on site were so clean and not far from our pitch. Having a shop, chippy and a bar on site was so useful. Food was lovely from the chippy and a lot of it. Shop had all of the essentials we needed (forgot) 😂 The views were very nice when you got out for the walks.

Paulina H. Apr 2024

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: The camping ground is very large with plenty of places to choose from. The views are incredible and it's very close to Ullswater itself. There's a shop with all the basic necessities even including batteries, gas, torches etc, as well as food and little games. The bar and games room are also a nice touch if that's something you want. We'd definitely come back here again :)

Disliked: Some shower facilities can be a little temperamental. In one block the pressure is nice but the water could be a little hotter, in another the water is hot but the pressure is insane and you have to press the button every 5 seconds.

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).
