Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: This was the best campsite I have been in Lake District as far as location,facilities are great and clean,playground was in the centre of the pitches and if you set up your tent nearby you can check on kids without leaving your pitch.Available microwave in eating shed area and sockets to charge your mobile or pump your mat.
Disliked: Pitches could be a bit more hilly to allow water drain away from tent.

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch
Liked: Fantastic site located within the heart of Ullswater, highly recommend!! During our stay we completed Ullswater Way, which is a 22.5 miles circular walk. We were able to pick up the walk straight from the campsite and many other fells. Lots of beautiful surroundings, animals and scenery. Facilities were also fantastic, a hopper bus which takes you around all the local tourist hot spots. Great clean modern toilets and hot showers. Fish and Chip shop was also delicious and appreciated after a day of walking.
Disliked: Nothing!

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.

The Honeybee camping pod (no pets)
Liked: Honeybee pod was amazing, and very comfortable. On site facilities provided all we needed for our short stay. On site shop was basic but chippy was great as was the games room.

Liked: The park is beautiful , so clean ,the toilet and showers immaculate check in so effortless lovely staff, the site is quiet which is what we wanted. However I do think the bar has the timings wrong , opening on the wrong days , I do get it is not busy but being open tues and not weds seems strange , why not open weds till sunday ? we dont go out at home but would of liked to go out for a couple of drinks , we did tues but closed weds it would benefit the staff having 2 days off together , I speak as a ex licencee
