Booking in on arrival was easy although we had complicated things ourselves by having an extra person and half our party wanting to stay an extra day, the staff were helpful and very friendly.
We chose to pitch in the field closest to the lake without electric hook up (we have found over the years that this is a waste of time and money as all you need is a cooler box and hire 3 ice blocks per day, on this camp site hire added up to 90p per day).
The bottom field has it's own toilet/shower block and washing up facilities. The amount of toilets / showers / washing stations seems to be adequate, I personally did not have to wait for any but I was not trying to have a shower at peak times (i.E. For a night in the club house).
The water was always hot and the pressure sometimes too high.
We did visit the clubhouse once and found the entertainment very good.
The site shop was very well stocked and sold a fair range of camping equipment as well as food, to be honest I found hardly any difference in the prices at the site shop compared to supermarket prices.
From where we pitched the tent it was about a 2 minute walk to the lake and if the kids had had their way we would have spent the whole week there.
A few times during the week we took a walk into Pooley Bridge along the footpath which runs along the lake, this took about 10 minutes at 3 year old pace.
Once during the week we climbed up to Authurs Pike, this took about 3 hours round trip with a 5 year old. I would recommend taking a walk up there as the view is incredible as it is from the top of Hallin Fell. Which is the hill directly in front of you as viewed from Pooley Bridge and looks like the other end of the lake, but is in fact about half way.
Overall the site is fantastic and very clean, there is enough activities on site to keep the kids amused all week without the boat hire and fantastic surrounding areas.
We arrived at park mid may not bad weather.We were very impressed with site, toilet and shower blocks were very clean.The club house was nice with food to eat in or take away not bad prices either. We camped on electric pitch for the first time and will never look back. The only problem we found with the site was the crows that would wake you up early morning! Our daughter loved the 2 parks and the brook to fish in. Shop was full with everything you will need prices not bad either. Pooley Bridge is only 10 minutes walk along the lake lovely pubs and the river is great to paddle in. Will be going back next year!
We have been to Park Foot on several occasions including bank holidays, each time we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This year on the May bank holiday I found the site very overcrowded. We were booked into a field named Lakeview which was quite a distance from the amenities; a porta cabin was provided but was not very nice to use as the toilets very rarely flushed. I love Ullswater but I think these overflow fields should be charged at a discounted rate to the main site, as we paid for facilities we were too far away to use
We have been staying at Parkfoot on and off for the past 14 years and still love it every time we go. We have just returned from a week there and whilst the weather wasnt that great, the fields held up tremendously to it there was no mud to be seen! The facilities are amongst the best we have experienced and the on site shop sells everything, and at reasonable prices unlike other sites. Be warned though, they don't sell beer!
We prefer the bottom field by the lake as its more spread out, level, and being near the lake is perfect for at night where you can have a nice walk into the village. The midges can be a nuisance though and if there is one thing this site should supply you with it is a gun, those god damn crows are no laughing matter at 4am in the morning, least of all when they decide to poo on your head like happened to me! *#%'!
A great site, but from past experience we tend to stay away at BH weekends as its gets full !
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
Staff where brilliant and very friendly. Regular security patrols where carried out which gave peace of mind, even the security man was very nice to speak to.
There is a take away on site and also a shop which sells a large amount of things which are not badly priced.
Toilets and showers where immaculate, in the showers there was a little changing area also before actually entering the shower which was very good.
Showers cost 20p for 6 minutes but is worth it, no instances of cold water at all.
We stayed here last weekend after reading the reviews which were all pretty good. We arrived friday night about 8.00pm and the site was fairly busy but we managed to get a spot not too far from the lake. The site itself is very big and well organised, the showers and toilet block were very clean. Our only criticism was the noise on the friday night. Other reviews said it was lights out at 12.00 midnight and there were a lot of signs up around the park confirming this, however there were some large family groups and also large groups of single males and they were still shouting and swearing right up to about 2.00am in the morning which did spoil our stay a little. Whether this is the norm or not, i'm not too sure but there were a lot of people complaining about it the next morning so it may have been a one off scenario. Would we go back? Yes we would - the location is perfect and the village of pooley bridge is a 10 minute walk away with a few nice pubs.
Great site. Stayed six nights and although the weather let us down on the last couple of nights the days stayed sunny (it is the lakes after all). The site was well looked after with staff walking around and cleaning the area (picking up litter after some people couldn't be bothered to pick up after them selves). The toilet blocks very clean and numerous so there was no waiting to use the facilities.
Arrived friday night and it was quite busy with large groups but as we had pre booked there was absolutely no problem with the pitch (electric hook up. The no noise rule was respected by most but a few stayed up late 02.30am and decided to make themselves heard. When my kids woke up at 7.00 and I cooked breakfast I made sure they heard me but swings and round abouts. Hee hee.
I was surprised with the size of the site and have already made arrangements to go back. The walk south to the end of Ulswater and return by ferry to pooley bridge was great and put the entire day in.On the rest day the kids loved fishing in the small stream and made the day for them when they caught a fish. If your out and about Whin latter forest visitor center is a must as the forest walks (free) Go ape site (payment required) and visitor center with cafe is excellent value for money and again we put the entire day in.
We stayed mid week and took the kids out of school as this was our main holiday every one there was very friendly and made our stay very welcome.
The only gripe is that we don't have a dog. Every one respected the site and put their dogs on leads cleaned up after themselves but the owners golden Lab / Retriever is allowed to wander and tried to help itself to dinner at our tent. Will definitely be going back not the cheapest but level electric pitches and slightly sloping normal pitches but huge choice
This was our third visit to this site. What a perfect weekend we had. Pitched tent facing the lake, lovely unobstructed views. Weather was great,woke early to sunshine and sheep baaing, lambs were cute too. Facilities very good, have separate washing cubicle if you like a bit of privacy. Walk to Pooley Bridge from campsite, visited each pub in turn and the small shops for momentos. Enjoyed the village very much, quite bustly, everyone lapping up good weather. Strolled back to site and visited on-site bar across the road. Snacks and meals not over priced. Children allowed in. We were leaving on the monday and it was really quiet then, sorry to go. Oh and they don't rush you off as some sites do. I am looking forward to spending more time here this year. Hope the weather doesnt let us down. 5 stars.
Me and my partner visited this site on 6 June 2008 and we stayed for 5 nights, we have to say that the view was beautiful, we had a pitch with electric hook up, but really didnt need it as the shower blocks had electric in them. The site throughout the week was really quiet but on weekends alot of families come here and the toilet blocks are full of teenagers with straightners and hairdryers but they have catered for this and there are still enough showers and toilet to go around. The site was very clean and tidy. The on shop site sold everything needed and probably a bit more, we can also find camping equipment in the shop. We did not try the resturant. We had pitch number 19. It was small in comparision to others but the view was priceless we overlooked the lake and pitched our tent so it faced the lake. The nearby town of pooley bridge was small and had a few selection of shops, and if I can remember right three public houses and one tea room. This is a quieter lake than windermere and we much prefered this, you can higher a boat from pooley bridge to go down the lake, and it costs approx £35 for an hour but we found that if you took a trip around the lake to Glenridding the boat hire is cheaper and you can even rent it for a half a day or full day if you so wished. There are lots of little walking areas around and we found it easy to get to the nearby towns of bowness on windermere, kiswick and kendal all in all, I would book this site again, but maybe in the week instead of including a weekend for a moer quieter time.

This is the 2nd time we have stopped at this site and still found it as great as the first time. It has already been said and I will also agree, the facilities are excellent. The toilet / shower bock is first class and exceptionally clean and tidy. 20p for 6 minutes in the shower, carefull though, it gets hot. So make sure you stock up on 20p pieces.
What we really like is the private boat/kayak launch from the bottom field which is over the road from the main site. We use a kayak and find this a really excellent place to get onto ullswater.
Through the main site, follow the site road up to the pony stables and through the gate and you find yourself on barton fell. Turn right and head up the hill for truely amazing views. It's not scarfell or hellvelyn, but it will get the heart rate up a bit.
This is only one of the brilliant walks in and around ullswater. If you wanted to, you could go back onto the a66, head towards keswick which is prob 20 minutes away,if that. You pass blencathra and sharp edge on the right if you have the bottle to do it!
My only issue this time round was the stupid muppets pitched not too far away who didn't seem to understand the conception of a 'family' site and decided to drink until the wee hours then start having a go at one another. Idiots spoil it for others. I only hope they were charged the noise deposit of £10 per head if there is a large group of you.
Anyway, truely excellent site, excellent value, excellent facilities. Well worth going. Even better it's only 1hr 45 minutes from newcastle, thats pulling a trailer too. So you could knock 20 minutes or so off that if you were making safe steady progress! Enjoy
Simply one of the best sites that we have been to, showers, toilets facilities were all excellent. The kids facilities are excellent too, including the play area, fishing in the stream. They will get wet lol.
The only small issues are the shop on site does not sell beer, so make sure you take plenty and make sure you take a bucket load of midge repelant cos you will be eaten!
To be fair though the midge problem might be season related and the shop sells virtually everything else.
Stopped here for the Bank holiday weekend, it was our first time camping so didnt really know what to expect. The place is great, everyone friendly, well run site. We stayed in the overflow field which was brill. Right near Lake Ullswater and a walk through the woods in to Pooley Bridge. Club house great with kids disco on the weekend. Toilets and showers great really clean 20p for 6 minutes which doesnt seem a lot but it really is! It was really busy but there was still plenty of room for everyone. Will definitely visit again.
We have just returned from Park foot. We spent two nights there in our tent. We were pitched on the electirc hook up run just down the hill from the site shop. This shop was amazing, you only needed to turn up with your tent, you could buy everything else from the shop. At similar prices to the big out door shops.
The site was huge, it went on for ever. I think we counted 7 fields and that is not including the statics and self catering. They packed the non-electic tents in tight, I couldn't believe how close they all were. The EHU plots were more spaced out, thankfully.
Toilet blocks were clean and plenty of toilets, sinks, mirrors, dryers, plug sockets (free) for hairdyers/straighteners and showers. We never had to queue. They were clean and cleaned regularly. One disapointing thing there was only three toilet blocks, so it was a long walk, all up hill for us, not good in the middle of the night.
There were two play areas for the children, one for smaller children and a bigger one for older kids. Our children in our group were 2 to 13 and all used them.
On the whole this was a great site. The down side was it was half term and packed. A lot of the children were unsupervised therefore getting up to alsorts including very bad behaviour and language. The children and adults were all going full swing right up to the 12mn curfew, some continued for another hour! And one morning there were some loud mouthed children in the park at 6am screaming and shouting, the noise curfew was till 8am!
My last critiscm was the crows! I know camping is about getting back to nature etc but at 3am when you're woken by the racket created by the crows all I could think about was a shot gun!
We have had a fab weekend as we did keep ourselves to ourselves in our small group. The scenery is amazing.
Myself, partner and our 6 year old son stayed at Park Foot for 1 night during the school holiday,(testing out the new tent before any longer stays!) After phoning the site to book I was advised to just turn up and there would be no problem in finding a pitch- there wasn't! The site is huge, lots of spaces for pitching tents and touring caravans. Some of the fields in use were closing at the end of May, but guess they open in peak times. We opted for one of the terraced pitches just above the clubhouse and toilet/shower block. It was nice and fairly quiet and had plenty of room. Near to play areas were busiest and noisy but there is plenty of space by the lake on a separate field if you want quiet.
Showers 20p for 6 mins, very clean as were the main toilets. Clubhouse great for kids but take plenty of money! Pool tables, air hockey, various video games and fruit machines. Restaurant and take-away serve limited menu but food good value. On site shop has everything you could need should you forget something and plenty of groceries.
Overall a great place to stay with your family. Friendly staff, lots to do on site, we will be going back.
