Date of Visit: May 2008 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Red Robbo 5 reviews from this member

 We stayed over the Whit weekend and what a lovely find compared to the other sites in Pooley Bridge which get too rowdy. The toilet block and washup areas were spotless with plenty of hot water. There is a large area for the kids with three play areas - which suited both our 3 and 7 year olds and an area big enough for a kick around with a football.

The bar area was open but needs a bit updating, but had splendid views over to the lake.

A short walk from the site took us to Pooley and the 3 year old managed it so it wasn't too far.

You can walk around the hill on the way to Pooley, or go up it if you are a bit more energetic.

Overall a very good site, kept very clean and nice and peaceful

 Visited the site over the easter break, and what a pleasant surprise it turned out to be! We were recommended to try this site by a mate who stayed last year, and he was spot on, a lovely little site , spotless showers, loos and wash up areas, all very well kept. Pub wasn't open during our midweek stay which was a pity as I would have liked to have tried it , but the site itself was very sparsely populated at this time of year ( there was only 6 other fellow tourers on site, plus a handful of the static owners).

I will definitely return in the summer ( if I can get booked)as we were so impressed by the location, amenities and the standard of the site. Can't wait !

 A lovely peaceful clean site. The toilet block very clean and tidy, lovely warm water for the showers. Pot washing room is great and heated for when it is cooler. The kids enjoyed the park with plenty of room for football. The club house is fantatsic with a large open fire. Pool table to amuse the kids at night and dogs are very welcome to go in. Pitch are ok could do with marking out a bit clearer. Dog exercise area very small. The price is great will be returning to this site. The food at the Kings Arms a few miles down the road is fantastic.

 Large, well-located site, mainly geared towards static vans, but with a touring field. The facilities on site are very good: showers are clean, hot and spacious, and there is a well-stocked shop, a bar and games room. A five minute walk brings you to Ullswater lake and about another ten minutes brings you to the nice village of Pooley Bridge, which has a range of pubs and shops. The site is well-run and the staff are friendly. However, touring pitches are pretty tightly packed together and the site is quite regimented, with lots of large signs with various 'dos' and 'don'ts'.

Overall, a good site, fairly priced in a popular location.

 A brilliant campsite.
Very clean toilets and showers, well equipped washing up and clothes washing area.
A great kids park, 2 sections, one for uner 5`s and another for older kids, also a good sized football pitch which the kids loved flying kites on.
The site is well run, clean, tidy and has a safe feeling.The warden is regularly around and it generally felt safe and well organised.
There is a small shop on site which is limited opening but sells most things, also a bar but we never got past our bbq and wine in the awning!
Ideal base for touring the lakes.
Can really recommend it for families but equally suitable for non families and the kids were all well behaved on site.

Reviewer: Sheltie 10 reviews from this member

 A very nice, clean, well set out site, close to lots of activities,good children's play area, background lighting at night, bit of a hike to the shop and bar but well worth the visit.
Friendly, helpful staff/owners?
Hope to stop there again next year.

Reviewer: Flossie21 1 review from this member

 Just returned from an absolutely fabulous 2 weeks here. Spotless free shower blocks / toilets, & always plenty of hot water whatever time you go.
Superb play area with large football / ball games field, with small play park for little ones & climbing equipment.
Very friendly & helpful managers.
Fantastic value as you get 7 nights for the price of 6, even in peak holiday time!
Bit scary walking into Pooley Bridge as there isn't a path until you get half way there so you are walking along the road which can be quite busy.
Very quiet site, yet close enough to M6 to be able to tour the lake district easily.
Will definitely be going back.

 I think a lot of people on this site get it mixed up with parkfoot. Waterfoot does not allow tents on to there park.   I have just came back after a lovely week, the site is spotless and the facilities second to none. The kids loved the park and play areas. The staff are real friendly and nothing is to much trouble.  Would recommend this site to anyone wanting a peaceful relaxing break.

 Just returned from Waterfoot, myself, my wife and our 3 year old son had a superb time. The site is  well looked after, the touring area was great and the facilities were excellent. Our boy had the time of his life in the play area and football field, great family atmosphere, will certainly return, my little boy is asking me to go back already.

 Just come back from this campsite its brill. A small touring field to the left as you go in. The toilets are spotless cleaned 2/3 times a day. A small field with football nets a climbing frame and swings for the kids

I've got 2 girls 9 and 11 they love it. Very peaceful at night. A small bar on site. Even the dog came in to the bar
