Absolutely Superb in every aspect although didn't use he clubhouse but looked spectacular.
Staff were very friendly and helpful, the park was beautiful with superb amenities and the area was stunning with lots to do. Will definitely be visiting again. 5 star +
Only downside is no mobile or internet signal on site but for me was a massive bonus.
We stayed in The Woodside Cottages, it was beautiful. The views from the back of the house of The Fells were amazing.
Lovely seeing the ponies, sheep and red squirrels every morning. Also the views of Ulswater Lake from the front of the house were lovely too.
We were told the house had been totally renovated and it had been! Fantastic open plan layout, so spacious, also the decor and furnishings were very hi spec. The very large showers and bath were just what we needed after a day's rambling.
The Take Away on site was brilliant. Very good value for money and food always piping hot.
We also booked a table in the restaurant on our last night, which again the food was amazing. The Steak Pie was the best ever! Compliments to The Chef. The restaurant was also Dog and Child Friendly. We were made to feel very safe in these Covid-19 pandemic times.
The on site shop was ok, but we did feel it lacked in stock some days.
You can walk to Pooley Bridge, good 15/20 mins but well worth it. Lots of quaint shops, country pubs and places to eat.
We would love to return in the summer, with the light nights to take advantage of the seating area outside the patio doors from the lounge and enjoy the sunsets.
Didn't quite get this in October, and it rained every day!
Fantastic week away at Park Foot. The site is very well organised, play parks well equipped and suitable for all ages, kids loved it!
Shower/toilet facilities Very clean and well monitored.
The staff in the office and all around the camp site were extremely helpful, friendly and professional, listening to our needs and taking their time to support us as a family.
A short walk into the village and to the lake where you can use your own water equipment, go fishing or just throw stones into the water.
I have been coming to this campsite since I myself was 7 years old, 20 years on I am now bringing my family and will continue to do so. We just LOVE IT! via mobile
Nestling in the beautiful Eskdale Valley close to Scafell, England's highest mountain and Wastwater, this site is a children's paradise in the heart of the Lake District. The first thing that meets you on arrival is the pond, fed by a stream and usually full of children paddling and playing on tyre rafts. The playground has zip wires, climbing frames, tyre rope-swings and adventure courses.
Grass pitches (some with EHU) for tents, motorhomes, VW-sized campervans (no caravans). Refurbished toilets, showers and laundry. Peace is the watchword on the campsite - catering mainly for families and couples with silence after 10.30pm. Don't forget your marshmallows - campfires are allowed in selected areas. Nearby shop and pub. And there's an added extra: the site sits along the route of the Ravenglass and Eskdale Steam Railway line, with it's own station. Choo Choo! Find out more here
My partner & I were lucky to spend 4 fantastic nights on this campsite. The weather was sensational making the views even more glorious. This is a large campsite divided by the road.
We were pitched at the lower end with fab views of the Lake. We spent our days walking in the area, using the ferry & bus. I thought the shower facility was ok, free & warm, with a small area to sit or place your clothes.
The 15min walk into Pooley Bridge is fine, there are 3 pubs, but due to the incredible no of people partaking of liquid & food refreshment we did not eat at any of them.
It was obvious the glorious weather had drawn many people to the area. We returned to the site on Friday after walking in Patterdale only to find that all camping fields were filling up with tents, in fact I thought it resembled a refugee camp.
There didn't seem to be any form of warden control & people were virtually doing just as they liked. The same old story that some thoughtless so & so's thought it was ok not to clear up after their dogs (& there were many dogs, which I don't have a problem with as I have 3).
Signs saying dogs to be kept on leads were ignored (mind you some children needed keeping on a lead). It did seem at times that all & sundry had access to the private footpath down to the lake.
Had it not been for the good weather I would have been very disappointed.
It was not a site for me & it is highly unlikely that we would visit again, which is a shame because it is in a great location
No wonder this site has won the award for best campsite of the year. Lovely grassed area's but hard standing where required.
There is a shop, bar and recreation area but Pooley Bridge is only 3/4mile away where there are more shops and nice pubs.
The walk is very pleasant as the path runs along the embankment of the lake. Most places around the lake are well accessible by path or road albeit narrow ones in a lot of places.
The only down side for us was that the tents not too far away were a bit noisy and they didn't adhere to the camp rules of reduced noise after 11pm.
Prices without electric were very good at £15 per night

Re-visited this caravan and tenting park after approx 15 years since last visit. Sad to say little has changed apart from the huge price increases.
Still using the same ‘Portaloos’ we had all those years ago, for £30 a night at Weekend this was way too much to pay.
Pitches are just the same as always were, no improvement on site as far as we could see. Food ‘Take away’ costs for a tiny offering of chips was unbelievably expensive, staff need to learn how to accept money from paying customers, not grab it out of your hand without a Thanks.
Not impressed by manageress who seemed to think our complaints were ‘funny’ by laughing at us! Very disappointed overall with this site, not helped by rather amateurish staff on the phone dealing with people who had genuine reasons for concern.
Only 1 Elsan point in very large caravan/camping field too. Come on Parkfoot, you can do better than this for the money! Won’t be back here in a hurry!
Just got back after a 3 day stay. It does help that the weather was so perfect. As many others have stated it is a large site and after paying our £60 for 2 nights, (it being a bank holiday), were directed to the field known as lake view. We got a bit lost luckily and found a superb pitch by the stream. You wouldn't want to be in lake view.
It's on the top of a hill and the showers and lavatories are at the bottom of the hill. There are few level pitches available and the 'Lake View' is only possible by peering through the trees!
We had great neighbours who had left us all plenty of room. We did the fell walk to Howtown, got sunburnt and can hardly move today with aching muscles.
Got the steamer back to Pooley Bridge. Went to the social club where they had live entertainment which was an utter hoot, like something out of Phoenix Nights.
We loved the whole weekend and aim to return at some stage.
First impressions were the size and how busy the place was. This was not a problem, but a vast majority of Clientele were walking around with cans of Stella in hand, when they were taking there kids to the park, etc, at lunchtime, and for the remainder of the Saturday, so there was no wonder that a Punch Up ensued that evening outside the Clubhouse!
The Park has rules displayed on boards, but unfortunately no rules are enforced. An Example of this being the amount of Dogs roaming around, defecating all over, without there owners acknowledging or picking up. This was observed on numerous occasions!
My party decided this was due to the busyness and it being a Bank holiday weekend, so we'd not right it off yet. The park is in a lovely setting, and easy access to the Lake.
There appeared only 1 Elsan disposal, and 1 shower/toilet block, which was less than adequate for the size of park.
The site quietened down after the weekend, and we were in a great EHU spot (Pitches A-O)
The final nail in the coffin came on our last day/night when a family consisting of 6 Tents and additional camper vans rocked up. They persisted on playing Cricket on the grass in the middle of the pitches, but without any consideration for others, thought they were playing the Ashes by blasting the ball all over, so if you cherish your Car or Van, you would be returning home with additional dents! They also had 3 dogs roaming freely, and pestering our friends tied up Puppy and Dog. 1 of there dogs crapped behind the tents, and when there second performed the same Act, I informed the party of 20+. I was initially blanked and ignored, it was only the second complaint, that they went looking to picking them up.
A friend of ours informed security of there behaviour, and it took them over 20 minutes to arrive, as they were dealing with another incident. However, the dogs were continuing to roam free, so whatever was discussed had no impact.
The site was also very expensive and you did not really get value for money.
This place is not a friendly place to visit, and it seems to attract a certain type of individual. I must stress, however, that there were also a lot of respectable types, but we will most certainly not be going back.
This isn't a bad site, but its run on a very commercial basis by young employees who don't really seem very interested in whether visitors have a good experience or not.
We were in the camping field near the lake so had a bit of a view (although the hardstanding pitches along the edge get the best view. ). Apart from the hardstanding pitches which are clearly marked, the rest of the field is a free for all, so there is always the risk of returning from a day out to find you've been surrounded by a large and noisy family group. The drainage on the field was terrible so it was beginning to turn into something of a quagmire.
It's a great location - a short walk into Pooley Bridge with a choice of pubs and a lovely tea-room. It also has a great independent village store open till 10 (pricey but with a lovely range of goodies). The scenery around the lake is stunning and there is loads to do, even in the inevitable wet weather.
I just didn't like the atmosphere of the site - its a holiday park for tents which is fine if that's what you want. I'm sure its great for big family groups. It is pricey though - £23 with no EHU and you still have to pay 20p for the showers! Not one I'd recommend unless you don't have a choice.
We've stayed here quite a few times and have always enjoyed it but after this visit we won't be back.
We decided to take our grandchildren ( aged 2 and 5) camping for two nights. The first night was great- busy but still room for the kids to play. The second day went downhill. On arriving back from a day out we were greeted with blaring music and not a square foot spare for the kids to play. There were tents rammed in any available space. The tents next to us were at the most 3 foot away (I understand camping and caravan club recommend at least 6 meters).
Many were barbecuing and drinking which is fine as they all ended the night by 12 but the people next to us sat talking till half 3 in the morning swearing rather a lot. Bearing in mind we had two young children this was out of order. The night before wardens were visable patrolling but when they were needed no one!
So my concerns are the fire risk if one tent caught fire the lot would go up and the lack of segregation between large groups who want to party and those with young families who want space and a quieter life.
