Having had to cancel our main camping holiday in Scotland due to redundancy, I've just booked us four nights here in August.  Thing is, we'd already booked a travelodge for a stopover on the way, so decided we'd not waste it and find a campsite nearby.  It looks very nice, and seems to have pretty good reviews on here.  I like the sound of the lakeside walk into Pooley Bridge.  Just wondered if anyone has been with a dog, our Bailey loves swimming and wondered if he'll be okay to have a swim in the lake.  It says dogs on lead at all times on the site, which I respect, but wondered if he'll be able to have a swim somewhere on the lakeside walk.

Also, are all the pitches within a view of the lake, that would be really nice.

No Andi, looks like that's Ullapool, which is the area we were originally booked for, the one we're going to is Ullswater.

But thanks anyway!

Hi

Yes if you're lucky you can get a spot on the lakeside but there are many pitches with views of the lake and even away from the lake the views are lovely. Yes the dog will be able to go for a swim - further along there are many little beachy areas where children paddle etc.

Have a great time

The dog will be able to swim in the lake.

Most sites have views over the lake, but be warry of going to close to the water edge due to midges at the end of the day,
