Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked: The facilities were extremely clean. Pitches a decent siz. Handy fish and chip shop if you don’t fancy cooking

Disliked: The toilet block was a bit dark. The shower cubicles were large with sepeterate drying area, but the head was not at the right angle so drying area got sprayed

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked: The facilities and location were excellent.

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.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback, we are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

Abigail A. May 2024

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!

Local attractions

The Lake District doesn’t skimp on swish sights and attractions, and many of the best things to see and do in the national park – from bushcraft and watersports to golf and tennis – are within easy driving distance of the site. For classic Cumbrian walks Hallin Fell is a 20-minute drive away and the market town of Keswick, where you can go from perusing a pencil museum to dancing around the megalithic Castlerigg Stone Circle, is reachable in 25 minutes. A bit south of the town of Penrith (20 minutes) are the prehistoric Mayburgh Henge and Norman Brougham Castle. Other well-known Lake District settlements are also within easy reach along winding roads, like to Windermere (45 minutes away) and Ambleside (50 minutes). And if you fancy a crack at cantering instead of sitting in the car? Horse riding can be had from stables within a 15-minute drive, while guests who prefer roving on a revving vehicle can squat upon a quad bike and set off into the local lands (25 minutes from the park).
