Waterfoot Carpark Campsite

喜欢 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.

不喜欢 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.

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

不喜欢 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.
