This was our second visit to this site, and it won't be our last! The staff are all really friendly and helpful. The site is a little away from Pooley Bridge, but a nice walk there, and easy to get around the north lakes. Easy to find. Kids play area is really good. Toilets ans showers very clean. Only problem we encountered was bottom end of site can get a bit wet after prolonged periods of rain, but it is the Lakes after all!
Lovely Site, very well kept with fantastic facilities. Our favourite site so far!
We visited through the lovely rainy weekend of May, stayed Sat, Sun and Monday night with a motorhome and touring caravan. As previous reviews have stated you arrive and pick your own pitch then pay at the shop or bar which ever is open when you want to pay.
We selected our pitch, hooked up, ate tea then hit the ‘bar’ well not sure its really a bar more of a large house with a bar in the corner! Anyway after the initial funny looks we gave each other when we went in we actually had a really good few hours in there. They have a pool table, dart board and other games. Dogs are welcome in the bar. Nice and clean too but it only opens Friday and Saturday nights.
Anyway after an early night we woke in the morning checked out the toilets and other facilities and I have to say we were amazed! The loos, showers, pot wash, clothes washing area are superb I’ve never been anywhere with such good clean and warm facilities.
There is a large park/play area for children which is a no go area for dogs (and rightly so I think when there are separate doggie facilities) so we just had a quick look in and I have to say it looked brilliant, swings and slides and a lovely large field to play football etc on.
Didn’t visit the shop as we had all we needed but if the rest of the site is anything to go by the shop will be top class too.
Dog walk is a little on the small size but was adequate for the quick toilet breaks my dogs needed after walking all day, there are plenty of walks from the site if the dogs need more exercise.
Wild rabbits all over the site, some quite tame too.
Location of the site is good, 20 min walk into Pooley Bridge which has some nice pubs and shops and is also the start of lots of walks in that area.
All in all we found this a very reasonably priced top class campsite and we hope to return when its not raining so much, though that’s good old English weather for us!
We arrived here on the Thursday evening for the may day bank holiday, there were only about 5 other vans, and you just pick your own pitch, and pay either in the pub, or at the shop whichever is open at the time. By friday night most of the 30 pitches were booked, there is plenty of room between pitches, but by sat morning it felt like you were just surrounded by tourers, with no scenery to look out on, but my main gripe was being in green static city, which is my pet hate, we knew that there were statics, but on the web site you couldn't see them from the touring area, it must have been the way it was photographed.
However I couldn't fault the facilities, the loos, and showers were always kept clean, and a nice touch is having a wash basin in each shower room, plus a plastic chair, there is also a pull down baby changing mat.
We had a couple of drinks in the bar, sit by the window, and enjoy the view down to the lake, and if you go behind the bar there is a lovely walk down to the lake, we could let the dog off here for a run, as the actual dog walk is just a 30 foot piece of grass.
Pooley bridge about 20 min walk away, with a couple of shops, cafes, and pubs, better to walk across the field to it, as no pavements by the roadside, and the traffic seems to speed along the lanes.
The children's playground looked very good, sited in a large playing field, dads, and kids playing cricket.
All in all a well kept site with everything you need,but don,nt expect a tv picture unless you bring a good ariel, we forgot ours !
What a great site. Really quiet with stunning views of the lake from the caravan window. My 3 children loved watching a farmer with a collie in the field behind rounding up his sheep. The playareas are great and my 3 year old was okay on most of the equipment. The toilet block and showers were without doubt the nicest I have seen. There were plenty of fresh water points. The shop stocked a good selection of food etc and had a decent stock of camping things and toys too. The opening hours were fairly limited but we didn't find this a particular problem. There is also a postbox, phonebox, carwash (jetwash) and take-away on site! The reception was really friendly and helpful. We didn't visit the bar but overall the site was very well maintained with clearly a lot of investment in facilities. The walk around the lake was great fun (not suitable for very young children - my 3 year old was fine - or pushchairs). The village has a nice pub and a few shops and is worth a wander around. My only criticism, which I feel guilty about making, is that the washing up sinks and the chemical disposal point were quite a way from the touring pitches. I usually carry the porta-potti waste tank to the Elsan point on sites but I was glad we had a trolley to get it there as it would have been a tough job without it due to the hill and distance. We've booked to go again though so can highly recommend!
We loved this site. Lovely and peaceful yet great play for kids and football and a bar if you wish to use it. Wardens were very friendly and regularly patrolled the site.
Showers and toilets were spotless.
Pooley Bridge lovely place. Only downside was as we have a young child we have a pushchair and we needed to walk on the road to get into Pooley Bridge. Quite hair raising on the blind bends. There is a footpath but it was not wide enough for it.
Just returned from a weekend at this very quiet and peaceful site. The site itself was spotless and well maintained, and the best toilet and showers facilities I've probably seen. Good play area for younger kids and only a short walk to pooley bridge and the lake.Plenty of activities to suit all the family on or around the lake.
On the down side the shop only opens at 8.30 til 10AM which is ok if your an early riser. The bar & family lounge is in need of up dating and a bit of life injecting into it.
If your looking for a quiet site then this is the site for you, would definitely return again for a short break

Stayed here for four days with our three young children. Family with children also brought their caravan and were able to pitch up next to us. Good space around us, not over-crowded.
Toilets and showers very clean. The staff work very hard and monitor the site regularly which I find comforting.
We used the clubhouse once and it was ok, may be busier during summer months.
Short walk to Pooley Bridge, though not that easy with toddlers and puchchairs. No pavements on roads and walk through wooded area proved problematic. Pooley Bridge itself was lovely.
Play area well kept and good size for children to play.
Beautiful site within easy walking distance of Pooley Bridge. Toilet and shower block immaculate (showers are free) with plenty of hot water. A lot of wildlife seen on this site early morning and dusk. Site is reasonably well drained - we stayed in the wettest August in years and did not flood! Shop sells usual bread, milk etc, but has very limited hours. Bar on site quiet and well priced. Site fees were very reasonable. Pooley Bridge has 3 pubs, all good food, again well priced and a fantastic tourist information shop. Site owners were very friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. Would definitely re-visit.
This is a very well maintained and well run site. WC & washroom facilities were immaculate (which is a must for us - given the fussiness of my wife!).
There is a bar on site with games room - much appreciated after a days walking!
The location was very close (within walking distance) to the village of Pooley Bridge and also within close access to Ullswater and surrounding lakes.
Lots to see and do - highly recommend to others -we will be returning (only problem encountered - which was not in connection to the site or facilities - was 'the magpie' who stole a water container filling pipe! Next time I will remember to store away all loose belongings.)
Overall a very enjoyable stay (even though the weather was not too good)- we were not disappointed. Thumbs up!
