Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Decent camp site, would maybe go somewhere more accessible next time
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked 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.
Disliked 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.

Very nice park more suitable for familys than solo/quiet couples.
The Honeybee camping pod (no pets)
Liked The site was very clean, well organised and the staff were very friendly.
Disliked 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!

Outstanding location & facilities. Amazing helpful & friendly staff.
FHU gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked 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!)

Lovely site with lots of spaces, good amenities very clean and tidy.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Really clean, tidy and well organised site with just about everything you may need.
Lots of spaces to pitch and plenty of room.
Disliked Some loud talkers until late, some not observing the quiet times. Maybe an occasional foot patrol may help to keep these in check. Was still much quieter than other sites I’ve stayed at.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback, this is certainly something we will pass on to the team.
