Just got back from a weekend at this campsite and felt I must add my comments. Unfortunately I must agree with some of the negative comments on this site. The facilities were well built but got dirty and although I did see them being cleaned, this did not happen often enough. It was a long walk to the shower and then the water pressure was such that if more than 1 person was using the block it was only a trickle down the wall. Some of the staff from Parkfoot appeared to think they are more important that the customer.
We had to pay a £10 noise deposit which would have been fine if we had been advised of this when we booked, but because we were not we were forced to pay on a card and therefore charged 50p for the privilege!
On the one occasion we did venture into the clubhouse we were met by rude staff, numerous faults with our breakfast, (not all arriving at the same time, cold food, uncooked sausages to name but a few.) It was smoky and the decor was tired. Then to add insult to injury as we left we visited the toilet in the bar and found that someone else had been so unhappy they had felt the need to smear poo all down the side of the toilet wall!! This, judging by the smell, had been there a while but not cleaned up!
When we went to claim back the noise deposit we produced the two slips of paper we were told we needed but once again awkward staff were reluctant to help and said we needed the yellow slip of the front of the tent. (We were told we did not need this when we booked in.)
This was a busy weekend but perhaps they should be a bit more selective with their bookings if they can not cope with the demand. We were not the only unhappy customers; some were more vocal than us.
I will be choosing somewhere else next time.

Having read the reviews on this site me and some friends decided to give it a try! Disappointing, I'm afraid!! The facilities were mostly excellent. Handy shop, takeaway etc. My problem was the organisation of the park and the staff.
Sure it was a busy weekend, they always are in good weather this time of year. But the staff tended to be rude, ignorant and not very helpful to say the least. They came across as just being there to take your money so you can just wander off and try and find somewhere to camp.
Yes, the fields and layout of the buildings etc were appealing to the eye. but I found no sign of any organisation of the pitches etc. It was a free for all!!! If your not careful pitching in the middle of the field you may find your car surrounded by other tents!
Noise was a serious issue - late night revellers etc. Myself was out drinking and stayed up til 2am but there were still people meesing about and making a nuisance at 4am!!! I'm 28 - I'm no prude but I do have some respect. When contacting the staff to help in dealing with noisy rude neighbours I got no support whatsoever! Being a big lad I fortunately dealt with it myself on my own. But I shouldnt have to be made to put myself in those situations.
Pot luck maybe, but the place I'd recommend for families. Kids will love the trees, beach, stream and swings etc.
The location is pleasant but not stunning. Half the time you might not appreciate you are in the Lake District! All in all I've been to much better campsites of this commercial type in the Lake District.Prices ok. Its just very average with some great potential but let down really by poor customer service and organisation

Just returned from a good weekend at Park Foot. 1st impression was of how vast and busy this site really was! Pitched not far from the clubhouse overlooking some beautiful scenery on well kept, though rather uneven, ground.
On the whole this is a lovely site in glorious surroundings, excellent facilities and the staff i saw, (mainly behind the bar!!) were friendly.
BUT...........
Being disabled i feel there are some points i must raise to warn others in the same situation. The main facilties are located around the clubhouse, which is itself situated on a rather steep bank! Anyone with problems walking, like myself, will have problems. The clubhouse, as far as i could see, had no wheelchair access, and certainly not from the main door which had 3 or 4 semi-circular steps, without a handrail, leading to a narrow entrance door. This was populated almost entirely with children/teenagers doing their best to look cool and act hard with their mates! I suppose a lot of people could be intimidated by this!
The bar/dancefloor itself would have benefitted from being half as big again with wider aisles, (personally i couldnt see how a wheelchair user would get to the bar!). The next point is the number of children running wild.......now, dont get me wrong here, i love kids and want to see them having fun! Im just pointing out the possible problems for the disabled camper! Quite a few parents seemed to 'dump' their kids around the dancefloor and go off to the restaurant or outside!
Also, i have to add, its the 1st site ive been to that has had 'bouncers' on the door and round the bar! All told, if you dont mind the 'chav' atmosphere, and the kids acting hard, its a good, well priced bar thats great for kids! Oh, 1 more thing......NO late licence!!!!! Last orders 10.50 on the dot!! Shutters down 11pm..on the dot!! Music stops...11.20 on the dot!! We were asked to leave and they were hoovering round us at 11.30!!
Further to comments made in other reviews, we had no trouble at all with noise after midnight, and we were in a very busy spot!
Toilets and showers were plentiful and very clean...apart from the morning rush! Great disabled toilet AND shower. Well done Park Foot! If it wasn't for the bank they were on id say they were the best id seen.
Best thing about stay......scenery, location and condition of the site!
Worst thing about stay......amount of kids hanging round clubhouse entrance and the steps near the take away on a night!
Would i go back?......Oh yes, now i know what to expect!

This was our first family (2 adults and 2 teenagers) camping trip, and it was extremely enjoyable. The site is well maintained and the facilities clean and tidy. Security on the site is good.....got told off about 12.30am for being a bit noisy (ive got a deep laugh). Will definatly go back to this site.

I have just got back from spending a weekend at Park Foot and I cannot recommend it highly enough.The site was busy but the toilets & showers were still spotlessly clean we didnt have to queue to use any of the facilities either because there are plenty.The site shop is amazing and sells pretty much anything that you could want & at reasonable prices too.The bar was great & again reasonably priced and well staffed so not much waiting there either.The kids loved the place and made lots of new friends while playing in the fantastic play areas.In all a superb site and I cant wait to go back.

Fisherground Campsite - Eskdale
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

We have visited the site many times in the last five years but this year we found the campsite dirty and overpriced. Unless you are up before 8am expect queues for the showers (20p for 6 minutes), queues for the sinks to wash your pots and let’s not forget the queues in the shop. The facilities are not kept clean with plenty of cobwebs and spiders in the shower block and hairs in the sinks. It's a shame the campsite has gone downhill because it is a great location, near to the local pubs in Pooley Bridge and close to Ullswater lake but we won't be visiting again.

Just returned from a long bank holiday weekend to the Park Foot site. It was the first time we have been camping as a family. 2 adults (aged 28) and our 2 boys (aged 7 and 2).
The campsite was of a very high standard. The facilities are excellent, including the showers / toilets, washing facilities, the childrens play areas and the excellent location. The campsite was very busy, however we did not experience any difficulties and we never had to wait to use any facilities.

It is a lovely site with good clean facilities & beautiful views from the bottom field. We were in the middle field (tent with electric) and it was too noisy for us. It was a bank holiday so we expected it to be busy but it was a bit like camping in a car park. There was a lot of noise in the evening, with people coming back from the club house, although it did quieten down a bit after 12. The club house was very busy and it was quite smoky in the food area.

Excellent site, good position, easy access to Ullswater ferry. Good facilities for kids, not to commercial. Good shop/bar, site security good. Prices a little higher than average but well worth it. Well recomended for a quiet family weekend with small children.

I have been to Parkfoot camp site for the last 3 years, and have always been treated very well. The food is excellent, the shop is always well stocked, I have never met staff as friendly anywhere else. The views are breathtaking - I can't rate this site highly enough.

Reading the reviews it seems like I stayed at a different site. The site was awful, facilities dirty and the staff rude and dismissive. we had a lot of problems with some other campers, were actually threatened and the site managers attitude was "well, what do you want me to do about it!"
If you want a nice holiday this is not a site I would recommend.

We used this campsite 2 weekends ago for our first ever camping trip and we were so impressed we've just been back for a further week!
The kids were kept busy the whole time and evenings in the clubhouse were a hit with us all.
All the facilities on-site were great, from a shop that sells everything (and at reasonable prices too) to the restaurant which offered excellent value for money and good quality food.
One criticism would be the toilet & shower block which could have been cleaner but this was mainly caused by a few inconsiderate campers rather than negligence.
I was a little apprehensive after reading some reviews about unhelpful staff but I have to say although I didn't encounter any problems during our stay, the staff I did deal with were great... the bar staff are a friendly bunch!!
It's a busy site which was suited to us but may not be ideal for those wanting peace and tranquility.... we'll be back!

Just spent Bank Holiday weekend here, 2 adults and 2 children in the overflow filed across the road from the main site. Excellent facilities, toilets and showers were very clean. Very lively site and very busy, despite this everyone seemed to stick to the quiet between midnight and 8am rule.
It did get rather wet and muddy with all the rain we had, but thats the fun of camping.

I found this campsite to be good overall but there were a couple of things to think about before staying here. The first is the walk to the toilets/shower blocks. These were situated near the club house and were closer to the mobile homes which I found to be quite unusual considering that they would not need to use them. The second thing to think about is the noise level of this campsite. If you want a quiet holiday then I would not particularly choose this site.
However, overall the site was well maintained and the toilets / showers were clean and plenty of them.

Very unorganised site. Staff not very helpful. Toilets a mile walk.
The site was very noisy, I do like lively but at 2am in the morning I would like to get some sleep! There seemed to be no security to encourage fellow campers to keep the noise down.
On the positive the site was very clean and facilities well priced.
