Loads of showers and toilets, never had to queue. Have to pay 20p for a shower, but not a problem at all, as it lasts for 6 mins, which is plenty, even when I took my daughter in with me.
We had 4 children in our group and they were kept busy with the two playgrounds.
Shop is very well stocked and you could probably just turn up with a tent and buy everything else required!
We had a drink and a meal in the restaurant on our last night (thought we had better visit it!) Good food and reasonable prices. There was no 'entertainment' on in the club house, but not our thing, so no problem there either.
We all agreed we would all definitely visit again.
Visited for first time with our new tent and brought along some new campers with us, they were hooked immediately.
Nice clean site, was very busy on arrival on the Saturday but a lot of visitors just weekend guests by Sunday dinner there was only 6 outfits left on the Airbeck field by the lake. We had a partial lake view too. Nice facilities and a well stocked shop too, got up early most mornings to get warm pain au chocolat from shop. Went in the bar a couple of nights which always seamed busy.
It was quite noisy on the Saturday night but we weren't too bothered as we sat up anyway having been a very sunny day. There was a large school type camp in the corner of the field, we were woken quite early by teenagers going to the toilet and washing up at around 7.30am but the instructors kept them in check on the evenings during the week and the site was usually quite for around 11pm.
Apart from that enjoyed a lovely week away except the usual lakes weather 2 days of sun, 4 of torrential rain!
Would recommend it to people that don't want to rough it too much and don't mind it being a bit busy, with a jovical atmosphere.
We visited this site Tue - Fri and were situated on Aikbeck field in 2 tents. This site is really big and not really what we were hoping for but we were struggling to book elsewhere. The receptionist was friendly and the booking system seems really organised, we were sorted in 5 mins with directions and info provided to where we had booked.
Our pitch was near the little stream with a view of the lake which is pretty but unfortunately we chose a bit of a thoroughfare so vehicles passing and people going back and forth en route to the shower block. The toilets and showers were alright but could have done with cleaning more often but it is difficult with mud being traipsed in after lots of rain. Wash up area is outside the toilet block under cover with plenty hot water. If you are not into dogs then be warned: there were a lot of them around and inevitably barking, and a couple of inconsiderate owners had then off their lead. Also someone kind enough to leave dog poo on the main path - there's always one!
Weather got nasty so it became pretty muddy and some areas of the field were quite water logged but our pitch remained fairly okay and we were fine. I would recommend an extra tarp or big mat for outside your front door to save tramping mud into your tent.
We had our 4 boys with us ages 7, 8, 12 and 14. The eldest two enjoyed visiting the shop as it was well stocked with lots of different stuff. They also like the idea of the takeaway with chips, pizza etc! The downside for them was that the 'older' play area became a bit intimidating in the evening with lots of older children about being territorial and creating an unfriendly atmosphere so they decided to steer clear. The younger two enjoyed the smaller play area which was great which lots to play on with soft floor but it was amazing how many small kids were left to their own devices. Evening entertainment for those who want it but it wasn't our bag and not what we were after but that is a personal choice. Site could get a bit noisy but our field wasn't that bad, just the odd time when curfew was ignored.
We walked into Pooley Bridge which is not far and is a small village with a few shops. We then took the walk to the lake which we followed around the shore and it brought us out to the entrance back into our field on the site. Picnic benches on the shore overlooking the lake, this is a nice area to just sit and watch.
All in all, we enjoyed our stay for what it was but doubt that we would return to this site.
Had a very pleasant stay at this site in early July 2009. Situated in a quiet location very near on the shore of Lake Ullswater. Electric pitch was on a gravel area near the shop and despite the torrential rain a couple of days we remained bone dry. Sites facilities were very good, short walk uphill to toilet/shower block which was immaculate. Shop, bar/clubroom, amusements, tennis courts and play areas for the kids ensured that time spent on the site was enjoyable. There was a cafe and carry out which was only open on certain days during our stay although brochure stated open during school holidays. (Assume that means the ENGLISH school holidays which I find bizarre as it's only just over the border and was busy with Scottish families).
Short walk into Pooley Bridge which is lovely and has a few pubs which serve food and a couple of other shops. But, the highlight must be a trip on the steamers down Ullswater.A fantastic day out.
All in all an excellent site in an excellent location. Busy but quiet enough to recharge your batteries
We have just come back from a weekend at this site. It was a last minute booking and the only site with availability in the area. I have to say I was extremely pleased with it.
The location of this site is EXCELLENT. When we booked we were asked if we would like to be close to the clubhouse or the lake, we chose the lake. We were directed to the field which was very close to the lake and were allowed pitch where we chose, which we liked. The field was an overflow field but had toilets and water close to hand.
On arriving at the site we wondered whether or not we had made a bad choice, it was over run with children, noisy families, loud music and people dressed up as if they were on a night out in the city but once in the field and being given a chance to pitch where we liked we were away from most of the noise. The 2 fields close to the clubhouse are like a family holiday park, very busy and noisy. If it is peace and quiet you are after then you would need to be further away from the clubhouse.
All in all a good site in an excellent location with good facilities. It is only a short walk down the lake to Pooley Bridge which is a lovely village with plenty of atmosphere and places to eat and drink. There is also plenty of space to picnic or BBQ down by the lake and there are a number of picnic tables there too.
In Pooley Bridge we chose to have lunch in the Tea Rooms as this looked attractive from the outside but the service was appalling and was very chaotic. Four of us ordered lunch 2 meals came and we waited and waited for the other 2 but no sign of any staff so we had no choice but to start after about 10 mins we chased the other 2 meals and were told they were coming, 5 mins later they arrived but were of a poor standard, panini with cheese hardly melted and a chicken sandwich with hardly any chicken in!
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
Try and plump for the lowest field in high season without kids it was too hectic for us but would go again. Toilets excellent, chippy steep but handy, super facilities for kids, beautiful scenery.
You can pitch next to a stream on lower field and are nearer to the lake.
This was our first camping trip and we weren't disappointed. There were 6 adults and 5 children (aged 8-12) in our party in 3 tents and we managed to find space to pitch our tents together easily despite the site being fairly busy when we arrived(Fri p.M). We paid £26/night for 4 of us.
The weather was good so there wasn't much mud around and were able to park next to the tents. The toilets and shower blocks were very clean. The showers were hot, costing 20p for 6 minutes. If you weren't at the showers by around 8.30am, queues started to form despite there being at least 10-12 showers. (female)
The shop was good and reasonable. A somerfield store is 6 miles away. We didn't visit the club house in the evening, instead chosing to have a drink near to the tents to allow the children to continue playing. Beware of the midgets though as we all got bitten several times. My husband did visit the bar area to watch the football though.
The children loved playing in the small stream and also on the playground. There was also room for them to play some ball games etc.
We walked to the lake which was lovely and the children were able to swim there. We also walked into Pooley Bridge along a lake path which took around 15 mins. There were some nice shops and at least 3 pubs. One stopped serving food at 6pm and another was very busy so we had a takeaway back at the campsite which cost £30+ for the 4 of us which seemed a bit steep for pizza!. Was nice though.
Security patrolled the site.
We visited a rare bird place (approx 7 miles away) which was good. The site has lots of leaflets detailing nearby attractions.
Overall we all enjoyed our stay and would definitely go again.
This was my first (not my husbands) camping trip ever and we found the site facilities ideal for our stay. Food available from 8am, shop open 8 - 8 fully stocked with everything you may have forgotten and they bake fresh croissants every morning. Good clean hot showers (20p for 6 mins). Electric points for the important hair straightners and mobile phone charging. Good washing up facilities and water tap never far away from your tent. Childrens play area was small but adequate for children from about 4 year old. Kids disco was good but in the height of the season, the club house was too small so keeping a close eye on our 2 was hard work (age 3 1/2 and 2) Food was reasonably price and very nice. Security comes around the site at midnight to check everyone has their music off and I heard them again at 12.45am tell people to switch lights off.
Two negative comments - 1. We were there at height of season and the strict 3m rule between tents was not adhered to. 2. Dogs were not kept on leads.
Having said that, I am sure if we had said something to reception, they would have dealt with the dog situation. We did mention the noise issue after midnight on our first night there and they assured us security would keep a check that night, then 30 mins later I saw security have a word with the group - so if you do go and do find your neighbours not adhering to the rules, the staff will do something about it.
In summary, a very good, clean camp site, well ran and we would return there, though probably at a quieter time in the summer.
Just returned from our first visit to Park Foot and boy was it busy! If you're looking for a full-on, buzzing atmosphere this summer holiday then this is the perfect place.
The site itself has a beautiful setting and easy access to the lake. Facilities were generally good, although there were no showers in the toilet block in the field we were in, which was disappointing given the amount of people using the site. The shop was well-stocked and staff were well organized. The playgrounds seemed a little small in comparison to other sites we've visited, although our eldest son had a great time building dams in the stream with the other kids.
But a word of warning! If you like your family camping a little more sedate and relaxing, without the feeling that you've inadvertently pitched in the middle of a music festival, then look avoid this place in the school holidays, or look elsewhere. The wonderful views only work up to a point.
We have just returned from a week at this site. We are a couple with a 9 year old son. We stayed in the 'overflow' aickbeck field which is near the lake.
The setting is idyllic, the views fantastic and the lake and the village of Pooley Bridge is just a small walk away. It's great to have your own choice of pitch and to choose wherever is best for you. The clubhouse is a nice clean bar / restaurant with good cheap hearty food and although we only visited it once, seemed very nice. The shop is also very well stocked with everything you could possibly need.
Our disappointment with this site was the fact we were kept awake by very thoughtless people shouting, playing music, arguing, playing games into the early hours. There didn't seem to be any monitoring of this kind of situation at all which I can only believe that is due to the fact that this field is so far away from the main site. (which is over the road).
There are 2 'lakeside' fields - the main field has a toilet and shower block with around 4 showers and 6 toilets and about 4 sink cubicles in both the ladies and gents. Incidentally, the showers are of the most ridiculous design meaning that your clothes and towel get wet whilst you are showering and there is nothing you can do about it! In the other field there is just a toilet block (with washing up facilities on the side), with about 5 toilets in both the ladies and gents. We found ourselves waiting for both the toilet and shower regardless of the time you went - even at 6.00am in the morning

We have just returned from this site after what can only be described as a mixed bag of weather conditions. We had opted for an electric pitch which was ideal for those extra comforts if there is such a thing whilst camping.
The site can be hilly in places and rather muddy after a lot of rain but we found the ground did hold up well - after all people on a campsite in Keswick were evacuated from their tents due to flooding whilst we were in the area. There is a small stream which runs through the site which the kids love to play in, 2 play areas which kept my 2 children entertained, entertainment if you wanted it and plenty of toilets and showers. The showers were 20p for 6 minutes but were always warm and clean. There was also a very reasonably priced take away on site - fish and chips £3.70,sausage and chips £3 and for that you got 2 jumbo sausages and a portion of chips. There was also a well stocked shop on site which was open 8am-8pm. There were security guards on site at night and they ensured the no noise after midnight policy was adhered to. There was also a pony treking centre at the top of the site which was excellent £20 per our and you went right up onto Barton Fell - the views were amazing.
Aira Force was well worth a visit and also the Ullswater Steamers offered a nice trip to take in the scenery.
On rainy days a visit to the Cumberland Pencil museum is worth a visit in Keswick. All in all a very well maintained site and I would go back to do some walking in the area.If only the weather could be guaranteed.
My family have been camping for only 3 years but of all the camp sites that we have visited park foot is the best! toilets and showers are clean 20p for a 6 minute shower which is plenty of time. Plugs for hairdryers and most important for my daughter hair straighteners. You could also charge up your phone.
The shop had everything you could think of, camping clothes and equipment, toys, papers, food.
There is a tennis court which you have to book but we had no trouble getting a time that suited us. Pony treking at the top of the site, this was £20.00 each for an hour.
We had to pitch our tent in the overspill field which was above the reception building and about 3 minutes walk from centre of the site. View was great, you could see the lake and the mountains. They had mobile toilets which were clean, they came everyday to clean them.
Also you could hire out mountain bikes,table tennis and they had other activities like archery, quizes, treasure hunts and football which you could do all day.
Only regret is we left too soon to move to another camp site in Keswick were it rained and didn't stop till it was time to go home.
Pooley Bridge was 5 minutes in car if that. Lovely little village with 3 pubs.
We visited this site at the end of July. Upon arrival at the site, we pitched our tent and went over to reception to pay. The receptionist was annoyed that we had already pitched our tent. She said the top field was fully booked - even though there was a large area of empty space around where we had pitched. Eventually, she allowed us to stay were we where. The area remained empty around our pitch for the next few days!
The campsite as a whole, is kept clean by the owners while any rubbish that is around is left by scruffy individuals. The shop is very well stocked with any items that you may require and the washing facilities are kept clean and tidy.
The only real bad points about this site is the type of person this site seems to attract with foul language coming from the children's play area and the complete lack of respect for others during the day (and night) with loud music booming from individuals cars' with their doors wide open.
There is security laid on by the campsite, both on the club house and around the site which is a good measure taken by the site staff
We stayed at Parkfoot in July and it is a lovely site with beautiful scenery and free access to Lake Ullswater.We had pre-booked a electric hook up but be warned these are hard standing and the ground was rock hard.
We had torrential rain for 3 of the 4 nights we stayed but have to say the ground stood up well.
The facilities were excellent plenty to keep kids amused they made plenty friends and had a great time.The club was lovely although we were there midweek so it was not too busy and there was no disco crowd to listen to after closing time so night times were pretty peaceful and the 12-8 keep quiet was pretty much adhered too.The toilet/shower block was clean and the reception staff were very helpful and friendly.The shop deserves a mention as it must be the most stocked up shop for its size anywhere.
The surrounding area of Pooley Bridge is lovely and our trips to Penrith and Keswick were very enjoyable trips.We took the Ullswater steamer trip from Pooley Bridge to Glenridding and although the weather was not great it was a lovely trip up the lake with some wonderful scenery to view.
All in all a great site for families and we will return in the future.
This is a large campsite set over a number of fields. The campsite facilities are mainly centred on the reception building and include a shop, bar and enormous shower / toilet block where showers are charged at 20p for 6 mins. There are other toilet facilities spread across the site which are generally a portacabin type arrangement. The location of the site is excellent being close to the lake and a 10min walk into Pooley Bridge which has a number of pubs and small shops (The Sun Inn is really nice). However, overall I was very disappointed with the site, for a number of reasons:
Firstly, the campsite is overcrowded; We couldn’t even park our car next to our tent (seriously) despite paying £30/night for a pitch. This leaves no room for the kids to play aside from the designated play area, which is actually a good facility. I'm not anti social but the level of overcrowding completely spoilt what has the potential to be a really good site.
Secondly, the distance from the pitch to the toilet block is unacceptable in my opinion. Now I love walking, but a nigh time navigation hike uphill on unlit paths between the hordes of packed in tents (if you’ve been to a festival you can picture the scene) at 3am to get to the loo is not great.
Thirdly the pitch size, somewhat related to my first point, but the individual pitches are in general far too small, albeit I did notice some larger ones. Unfortunately not ours which necessitated pitching on a base of rough gravel with the front door of the tent opening directly onto a gravel vehicle track!
All in all a great disappointment, I have camped all over the UK and never experienced camping on such an industrial scale. In Chicken terms this would be 'Battery Camping'.Not for me thanks I wont be rushing back!
