Loved this site even though the heavens opened up for three days while we where there. We were on the site across the road from the facility's where most of the electric hook ups were for tents. The main tent field looked as if it was pot luck if you got a level pitch.but the staff and the facility's make up for. Showers are hot and strong, clean toilets and didn't have to Queue once. The food in the restaurant is lovely and huge plate- fulls. There is a games room with pool table and some arcade games. A very well kept site and well run. We will definitely be going back.
Just got back from another great week at Park Foot. In high season the camp is really busy especially with families so it does get rather crowded and noisy so those after a quiet break beware!
The site is excellent and exactly what we wanted for our family camping trip. The kids took part in the children's activity club which kept them busy and in the evenings the club was packed and had a great atmosphere.
Toilets & showers are usually always very clean and the on site shop stocked just about everything and at very reasonable prices too. We found all the staff very friendly and helpful.
This campsite is a little expensive and they charge for just about anything they can, that said this was our fourth visit here and we will be going back again many times in the future.
Lovely, picturesque, pleasant, wonderful we scousers loved it and we are not noisy scousers either, we usually camp in Wales but thought we would give Park Foot a try as most of the reviews are spot on, the views are magnificent when you wake up and look around, the children had a great time fishing, going to the disco, boating and many other family activities we tried, we have just come back from a campsite in Wales which was terrible, so will most definitely be going back to Park Foot again.
This site is ideal for families would highly recommend. A large campsite with great shower / toilet facilities, a fantastic shop and two great play areas for the kids as well as a stream running through the campsite which they were never out of! Beautiful area with lots to do and see. Small amount of noise but that is only to be expected. Great for experienced and inexperienced campers alike.
Just spent another few days at this camp site. Once again enjoyed every moment there, weather was fantastic despite the UK forcast been for thunder storms, not a single drop of rain and every one left with a sun tan. Park was not over crowded and was nice and peace full,The live entertainment in the evening were very funny for all the family. A good few days had by all.
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
After six hours of delays, crashes and general weekend crazyness on the M6, we arrived at Ambleside only to be told that the National Trust sites were full. Panicking, I phoned around different sites I'd collected off this website and found Park Foot had spaces.
After a 40-minute, 'rally-like' drive up to Ullswater, Mrs Specialman and I arrived at Park Foot after being told there were some spaces free, one of which the lady on reception had kindly set aside. This was nice, considering it was a really busy weekend so top marks there.
Park Foot is a bit like Butlins for campers, with an on-site restaurant, disco/bar and other amenities. I'm not one for this kind of camping, although this seemed to suit the many families who were staying, as it offered convenience anjd it seemed pretty safe for all the kids.
The prices were a bit steep for a tent (£18 per night) plus we were required to pay a £10-per-person 'noise' deposit, which was refunded when we checked out. This put off a few people who actually turned away when told they had to pay it.
We were in an overflow field (called Escraigg) about 100 yards from the lake (and five minutes from the main office), which was great, as it allowed us to be close to the village of Pooley Bridge (10 minutes walk along the lake). You aren't supposed to pitch within 3m of the next people, although some folk ignored this. Saying this, we never felt crowded and we felt pretty private with the car in front of the tent.
You can use barbeques but no fires are allowed, although a few people had them going but none were dangerously large fires.
The toilets were super clean and so were the showers, although you need to pay 20p to use the showers. There were only six showers for two fields though, so either get up early (or really late) to use them and on an evening, leave it later than 7pm and you'll be queuing for ages! Showers were cleaned regularly and bins were emptied every day sso cleanliness was superb.
The clientele was mainly Geordies and Scousers, many of whom seemed loud but in a fun, family way. No single sex groups are allowed at the park, which meant no trouble too.
There are some great sights on Ullswater, although watch out for all the dogs that seemed to outnumber the people at times, as they were crapping left, right and centre, right where kids were playing on the shore - those dog owners should be ashamed!
Pooley Bridge has three OK pubs, but service was dire at peak times and the beer is about £3 per pint. The Crown is a real family pub, whereas the Sun was more of a local. The other one (I can’t remember its name) was a bit pants! There's little else to do in the village but it's pleasant and has good walks around and is home to the Ullswater Steamer. If you're into fishing then wait until October when the trout fishing is apparently great in the River Eamont. Go to Aria Force waterfall, halfway along the lake, if you're after a good photo opportunity - it's beautiful. Be prepared for hefty NT parking fees though wherever you go.
The staff at Park Foot were courteous, if a little dour, and it's a well-run and clean place to stay. If you're a couple or enjoy a quiet time then this may not be the park for you, although it's a great base to work from and it's easy to get to from the M6 (just 10 minutes drive gets you to Junction 40). Also, Ullswater is the most beautiful place I’ve seen in the lakes.
Absolutely fantastic! amazing camp site in an amazing location. The facilities like toilet, showers, wash areas were exceptionally clean. Definitely a place I will visit again in the near future. There is also plenty of things to do for people of all ages either on site or a short walk off.
A small group of us Just come back from a long Bank Holiday week at Park Foot.
The site itself is great . This being our second visit,, plenty for all to do in the surrounding villages of Keswick and Pooley Bridge
Sadly, over the Bank Holiday, the site was very busy, a bit too busy for us. Resulting in overcrowding, large queues for showers / toilets / club house., and whilst there is supposed to be a 3 metre rule of not pitching next to other tents, this was clearly overlooked and seemed to go by the wayside.
Very helpful & kind staff who even ask for the 50p to cover bank card charge. Before you pay the 20 p for a shower. Sorry, but a little too much take take take. Penny pinching !
The facilities here are very good. we pitched by the lake ( Ullswater ) and the views are fantastic. This site is great if you don't mind being on a busy site. But next time, will be on the other side of the lake at Water foot . Which ( IMHO ) is far superior at a fraction of the cost
Just come back from a camping weekend at this site, the weather hit and miss, very hot on saturday and then rain all day sunday, however we had a fantastic time, the staff was very friendly, when we first arrived the pitches we had been allocated it appeared that somebody else had taken over 1 of them, the staff quickly found alternative pitches for us.
The showers and toilets were very clean, however there is a 20p charge for the showers and the box is outside the cubicle which means putting your money after getting undressed!
You didn't have a great amount of space per pitch and found that there were quite a lot of stones around which could be felt underneath the groundsheet, however all in all a very good site which we would recommend.
Stumbled across this site on our first visit to the lakes. The three children ( 15 13 and 9) had not been camping before and we found this campsite perfect for what we were looking for. The facilities on the camp were excellent.plenty for the kids to do. The shop is well stocked with everything you need and toilet and shower facilities very clean. This will be the first visit of many!

Just come back from a long weekend at Park Foot. The site itself is great but very busy, a bit too busy for us. There is supposed to be a 3 metre rule of not pitching next to other tents, but that seemed to go by the wayside. The facilities are second to none and there is something for everyone. We pitched by the lake and the views where fantastic. This site is great if you don't mind being on a busy site. Happy camping!
We stayed at this site with a party of 12 adults and 12 children. We in the touring caravan and the others camping. The site was really lovely. The facilities were spot on inc a very well stocked shop and a club house. The staff are so friendly. The children aged from 2 - 14 loved the play areas and loved running in the stream (remember your kids wellies). The shower, toilet and washing facilities were lovely and clean. We went for a really nice walk along the lake and wandered into pooley bridge town centre (approx 10 min walk) leisurely stroll. We then stopped off at a couple of really nice pubs and tea houses which all warmly welcommed such a big group with open arms. As I say the park was really well kept and we would recommend it to anyone. We will definitely be staying here again.
Mixed feelings about this campsite. We just spent the bank holiday weekend there, two couples with a 6 and 4 year old, and a 18month toddler. I can't fault the cleanliness of the site, we saw wardens coming round collecting litter on a regular basis, and the toilets and showers were kept very clean. The shop and takeaway were handy, and we found the staff friendly when we checked in.
However, for children the age that we had, the facilities were limited. It would be nice to see a toddler/infant play area, aimed more for the under 6's. The playgrounds seemed to be monopolised by children of 8+, and we didn't feel comfortable taking our children there, even the 6 year old. As it was, they were quite happy playing with a football in the field. But we were surprised that there wasn't even a baby swing in sight, considering it is a family site.
The other problem is that there are no marked pitches (non electric). Tents were pitched wherever people wanted to put them, and the 3 metre space rule that the campsite has wasn't enforced, even between people who were from different parties - I found this surprising for a site of this size from a health and safety point of view more than anything.
Hi just thought I would update after our visit. Had an excellent weekend weather wasnt best ever some of our group dropped out when they saw the weather forcast but 9 of us went. We stayed in the field next to the lake and had a great time. Bbqs both nights and playing with the kids as the field was quite well spread. Going again next weekend, with the fair weather campers in our group who dropped out last time! We went to the campsite bar for a change on saturday night and found it to be a laugh with all the kids songs they play (helps to know the dance moves!) and the prices were quite good compared with pooley bridge - where we went on the friday night, had a walk down by the lake at night and we were bombbarded with bats the kids thought it was great! Cannot wait to go again.
We stayed here Friday to Sunday. The showers and toilets were amongst some of the nicest, and cleanest I have seen on a camp site! We were right next to the lake, so beautiful views, and there are some fantastic walks! Very close to the village, only five minutes on foot through a walkway we found! Plenty of pubs in the town and places to eat, although it is farely pricey! We brought bbq's and music, everyone at the site is laid back and the campers have fun through the night, but are quiet! There are boats to hire, horse riding, and a play area for children. Kids can stay in the bar till closing which is handy if ya fancy a decent priced pint! Will definitely visit again!
