Waterfoot Carpark Campsite

Tyckte om Lovation

Tyckte inte om Lack of facilities, this should be clear when booking, other campers had left litter.

Från föreståndaren: when you book if you bother to read about the sit it say porta loos water taps bins
back to basic campsite the information is there

Tyckte om Great location if you want to paddleboard etc on the lake. It's literally accessible from a small beach next to site. 4 porta loos on site. Quite uneven pitches. All about the location here not facilities

Tyckte om Scenic view of the lake

Tyckte inte om Beautiful views of the lake, but that’s about where the positives ended. We were told to pitch on a patch of overgrown grass, which was on a hill and made life with kids pretty tricky. Way too many insects, and the toilets were an absolute disgrace. Such a shame, because the setting itself could be amazing with better upkeep.

Från föreståndaren: sorry to say but you do not get told where to pitch you are told to pick somewhere we do say when full to go through second but not to high as bits to steep the toilets are cleaned regularly they are stocked with toilet rolls and hand sanitizer

Tyckte om Nice little basic campsite, toilets were reasonably clean. Lake 1 min walk away and Pooley Bridge shops/cafes 10 mins walk also. Would definitely stay again

Tyckte om Waterfoot car park campsite is a campsite next to a main road and car park at the northern part of Ullswater. There are 5 portaloos and large bins.

Tyckte inte om It has a steep incline which can make pitching up and sitting/sleeping difficult. The grass was also very long, which made driving and walking around the site difficult and slippy. Before arriving at the site, I had 4 missed calls in quick succession at around 3pm from the owner asking when I was coming to the site. I explained we were out hiking so would get there between 7 and 8pm. He then rang again at 7pm (I'm not sure why) and we turned up at 7:30pm approximately. When I pulled up, there was a tent "check in" area on the left. The owner walked to the car and immediately appeared disgruntled and slightly intimidating. He asked if we had a booking and when I explained we'd booked through Pitchup he challenged us. I explained he'd called us multiple times earlier that day and he then told us we'd have to pay the outstanding charge with cash. Unfortunately, I had to offer bank transfer as I didn't realise the site was cash only. This was my mistake. He then told us we can find a pitch and park anywhere we like. The campsite was very busy and noisy, and tents were packed very close together. I drove to a less busy area towards the top of the field and parked up. This was on a steep incline and the grass was very long and wet. The owner drove at speed in a 4x4 truck up to us with his headlights on and shouted out of his window that we couldn't park there, and then told us to park in the busier area. He sat in his car watching me reverse hill-start (poorly) out of my parking position and move somewhere busier. If it wasn't for feeling intimidated and being told to park "anywhere" before re-direction, this little pop-up site would be quite a nice place to stop off, especially if enjoying Pooley Bridge nearby. The campsite rules state both the following "dogs allowed all year" and "dogs not allowed". For anyone with a dog, I'd recommend checking first.

Från föreståndaren: the pitch airea that you chose was not to b pitch on as everone that went to that area had been asked to stay low down as field wasnt suitable to go to high therefore were asked to move down but with the car he stay by to make sure didnt get stuck being full everyone is asked if booked on for your info dogs are allowed its the same when it comes to paying balance we are told it dose not say cash but if read properly it clearly says cash

Tyckte om Quiet place with beautiful view on lake. Highly reccommend and definitely come back next year.

Tyckte inte om We were on weekend so after 2 days toilets are full smell not nice.
the campsite is not a flat surface, it is a slight hill

Tyckte om Lovely views of the lake
Easy check in
Not loud at night time despite it being busy

Tyckte inte om Not enough toilets and quite a walk to them depending on where you are pitched

Toilets were very smelly by the end of the weekend and lack of toilet paper etc

Where we pitched was not flat so on a slight down hill

Från föreståndaren: yes no showers there is not the the waste for them

Tyckte om Gorgeous area with stunning views, short walk to local village and access to the water

Tyckte inte om When we arrived we asked if we could pitch anywhere and was told yes, we found a stop to then be told 5 mins later we were too high up. Portaloos wasn’t cleaned while we were there which meant they started to smell really bad especially coz it was warm weather.

Från föreståndaren: the portaloos are cleaned and stocked regularly with loo roll but some people think its there right to make as much mess and take the said loo rolls as they wish which we replace the loos dont get emptied every day but do get emtied when needed but to say about being asked to move from trying to pitch a tent up a slop then camping is not for you
