What customers say

This well-kept, peaceful site near Pooley Bridge/Ullswater gets praise for friendly staff, clean facilities, and spacious pitches. Pods offer good value. Some noted Wi-Fi issues, slow showers, and limited evening sun. A few walks weren't stroller-friendly.

Liked Lovely clean site,Stunning scenery and great walk into Pooley Bridge with dog.
Nice friendly restaurant in Pooley Bridge.

Disliked Showers were clean enough but could do with updating.
Pitch was really wet due to previous rainfall, I know we always like a nice sunny stay away from home but it’s never guaranteed.

Camping pod (no pets)

Liked What a beautiful, well presented and kept site. The pod we stayed in was at the top of the site which was peaceful and relaxing. The pod was spacious, clean and comfortable. It was lovely to sit and watch the red squirrels and rabbits roaming around.
The site was very welcoming with lovely staff.

Disliked Nothing

Local attractions

Waterfalls, walks, watersports, history and heritage are all here: start off with the miles of bridleways around Ullswater, all linked by Ullswater Steamer routes, and take the circular route around Maiden Castle which starts and ends at Waterfoot Caravan Park. The site is surrounded by the Dalemain Estate which has five acres of gardens and swathes of historic parkland; the house and gardens themselves are less than two miles away (the cream teas are heartily recommended). At least a day must be had on and around Ullswater, the Lake District’s second biggest lake, for a trip on Lady Dorothy or one of the other steamers; a spot of sailing, diving or boating, or a scale up Helvellyn, England’s third highest mountain and lying at Ullswater’s south (stagger to Glenridding village afterwards for refreshments). Wildlife including red deer and those red squirrels can be spotted in many Lake District woodlands and fells, but to maximise your chances of a sighting, scurry along to the flagship red squirrel reserve at Whinlatter Forest near Keswick, where there’s also a red squirrel trail with a visitor centre and rope bridge..
