Stayed here for 3 days over the Bank holiday weekend. Check-in was easy enough, I was given a map and told I could pitch anywhere I liked in the Main field. I would advise having a walk round to find a flat pitch as there are a lot of slopes.
Cannot fault the cleanliness of the site especially as it was busy. Showers were busy at peak times, but only had to wait 10 minutes.
Kids (8yr & 9yr olds) loved the playground and fishing in the stream.
Good to see security walking round at night, plus warden driving round a few times each night to ensure the no noise after midnight rule is adhered to.
Shop on site isn't cheap, we found an Aldi store in Penrith, (on the other side of J40 M6 - 15mins drive) which was ideal for beer & bbq food.
Nice area to stay with great views all round, would definitely return here & recommend the site for family's.
We have just arrived home from our first ever camping experience, 3 nights at Park Foot. We are complete novices so I shall review as we found it.
Had to queue when we arrived to check in but this was to be expected at lunchtime on a bank holiday. Only information provided to us was a map of the site and a route to our pitch, although the receptionist asked if we'd stayed at Park Foot before and we did respond saying 'we've never camped before' but no other advice was offered.
One of my prerequisites when looking for somewhere to stay was cleanliness and I had no concerns with the toilets and showers, which were always clean. I did visit the showers early morning before they were well used, from 8am onwards long queues formed. As previous posters have said the cost of a shower is 20p for 6 minutes, the water was hot but there was no where to change after.
The EHU pitch was on gravel, which we weren't keen on and as it was our first time we didn't realise we were on an incline until we'd pitched the tent (it didn't look that steep!)
The shop was well stocked and reasonably priced.
Our kids loved the two large play areas (one for aged 8 and below and one for aged 8 upwards.)
A short walk into Pooley Bridge although there is no footpath and the road is busy and narrow in places. We had a nice roast dinner in The Sun which was reasonably priced and there was a play area for the kids.
We only ventured into the site pub to watch football on the Sunday afternoon and they charged average pub prices.
The site was very busy and at times noisy but around 11pm onwards it quietened down and I was relieved to see on a midnight call to the toilets security guards patrolling the site.
Overall a nice place and the weather was great so made for a very enjoyable experience. We may re-visit Park Foot again in the future.
Stayed here on Easter bank holiday, just the Sunday evening, arriving late afternoon with our 3 children, ages 3, 2 and 9 months, leaving Monday morning.
The road to the site from Pooley Bridge was very busy and we hadn't booked - so I was quite worried.
Got to site and it was busy. Struggled to park at reception and went it - very helpful and no worries in getting us on a pitch, where-ever we liked, which is good as others from our family were already there.
Camping areas seemed very good condition. Toilets and showers clean and in good condition (20p for 6 mins), and there was a toilet trailer on the field we were on to save any late night hikes!
Facilities very good - which I thought wouldn't be good with having young kids, but worked well as those who were there to party could do so in the club/bar, rather than near the tents where the kids were trying to sleep.
Views great too, and kids play areas good as well. Also a shop and car wash on site!
Highly recommended.
Only downside was that it was quite expensive - £28 for the night.
Just back from spending Easter weekend here, 2 tents 4 adults 4 kids and 1 dog, what a great site. Was busy but the site is large with plenty of space to pitch.
Dish wash areas dotted about very clean. Shower/toilets very clean need 20p for 6 mins in shower which is long enough.
Great shop well stocked shelves. Kids loved it plenty of room for them to play.
Great area, short walk to the lake and the village of Pooley bridge. Cant wait to visit again asap.
Visited the site over bonfire weekend to see the firework display.
Well organised site with good amentities including large shop, bar, play area and good sized dog walk. Plenty of toilets and showers (20p charge for use although you won't be disappointed!)
The pitches are well spaced out but the site is on a hill so if you're at the bottom there is an uphill walk to the showers etc.
The location is good with only a short walk to the lake and Pooley bridge.
Only downside of the trip was an extremely loud group on site who kept everyone awake until 1 - 2am in the morning with loud music and shouting. Even if the site staff spoke to them it did no good as it carried on for both nights.
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
Just returned from a long weekend here. It was fantastic! we loved it.Good flat ground to pitch on rock pegs needed as the ground is solid in places. Shower and toilet block was very clean and plenty of showers and toilets. Shower is 20p for 6 mins but worth it because they are so clean and modern.
There is a tent field on the site near the club house and reception and another just over the road. We opted for this one as here we got the best of both worlds we went over to the club and when we had enough we returned to a quiet field overlooking the water. Great views too.
The reception was friendly and very helpful. The restaurant was basic but reasonable prices and food was nice and it was warm and clean. Games room was fun. Pool tables, air hockey and a few arcade games too.
There is a well stocked shop on site and laundry facilities. A great play area for the kids (must admit had a little go myself when the kids were not looking) all in all it was fantastic and a place I cant wait to go back too.
Just got back from a 2 night stay. We aren't really experienced campers so thought we would to somewhere that seemed to be tried and tested. We camped on EHU pitch. The check in was quick and easy and the pitch easy to find, all EHU are on a hard stand which I didn't really like especially when crawling around pitching the inside of the tent but it wasn't a real issue.
The facilites were great plenty of toilets and showers and they were spotless! The on-site shop was well stocked and had any camping essentials you may have forgotten but it does close at 6:00pm so if you are going of Friday after work be aware.
The club house was nice but it very much caters for families with young children so as a couple in our 40's wasn't really for us but we did think it would be great to go again and take our granddaughter along. The site is quiet from 12:00 midnight and there is a security patrol to enforce it.
The views across the lake are to die for and it is a pleasant walk into Pooley Bridge.
We have just returned from a 5 night stay here and we loved it. The park, we found, was very clean, had a well stocked shop on site, a bar and restaurant and even a take away! We stayed in a trailer tent in the field right next to the shop on the electric side. The shower block and bar/restaurant is not far away from this field. I wouldn't have liked to have been on the field on the opposite side of the road, although there is a Lake view there, I found its just too separate from the site itself, but does have a shower block just as nice and clean as the main one. You can go through this field to have a walk next to the Lake and to get to Pooley Bridge village to the pub!
The area is great as well, as you are away from the hustle and bustle but can walk into Pooley Bridge to the Tea Rooms or Pub and Tourist info, or drive into Penrith for all the shops. From this site we went to Penrith, Keswick and Windermere.
There is Pony trekking at the top of the site and access to the Fell for a nice walk to the top of the 'hill'/little mountain (!) to get a gorgeous view of nearly the whole lake.
We are definitely going back next year, however, no offence to anyone with kids, but we will only be going through the week when the kids are at school! We stayed Monday to Saturday and during the week was blissful, come Thursday, it started to get busier, Friday afternoon was bizarre, people were coming in droves,pitching till nearly dark! Lots of kids, and for us, a young couple, its not what we wanted and was glad we went home on Saturday! However, it would be a place I would bring kids during the holidays if I had kids!Its a great site.
Just a note, we found the staff there quite helpful. We asked one of the bar staff where they would recommend we go round the area, she hadnt a clue! But she did come over to us later with a book of the lakes and its attractions which we could keep, and my partner asked her about an attraction which she apologised for not knowing about it, but then came back 5 mins later with an internet print out about it and directions, all of which we didn't ask her for! But was lovley of her. She also recommended we requested at the reception for a rugby match to be shown on Sky in the bar for a few days later, which they did for us. They also printed off route planner for our journey home (don't ask!)
Spent 5 nights in August at this site and although there were definitely some plus points on the whole, I was dissapointed and would not return.
Plus points - very well stocked shop which is reasonably priced, games room & parks to keep the kids amused, situated on the lakeside allowing the possibility to launch boats and excellent horse-riding centre. (Horse riding was the best part of the trip as the views over the fells and Ullswater were superb).
Negative points - Unhelpful staff, tents too crammed in together. I had a small campervan & small awning on a pitch with electric hook-up, and was dissappointed to see that on either side of my pitch were enormous tents which crammed me in on either side. This was made worse when the staff insisted that I pay an extra £4 per night for my tiny beachshelter which the children played in, bringing the total cost of my stay to over £35 per night for one adult and 2 young children. I was disgusted as my total set up was half the size of the tents next door yet much more expensive.
The bar was too noisy and the Lady Gaga impersonator's language was not at all appropriate for a family-friendly campsite. Teenagers played in the park until midnight and whilst there were two parks, I only felt that my children would be safe in one. Again their colourful language could be heard by my children from inside our campervan. Too many childrent in both parks - I saw two accidents requiring trips to hospital during the 5 days we stayed.
Toilet facilities too few for number of campers and too far away, having to cross a busy carpark in the dark isn't safe for young children.
In summary, whilst the lake and horse-riding are fantastic, overall I would not stay at this site again. There is a much nicer site nearby and you could still use the lake and Parkfoot's horseriding facilities.
Park Foot Caravan & Camping Park – lovely location, huge site. Great if you are with kids, like LOTS of noise, enjoy cramped spaces, and want a retro camping with one main toilet block (also HUGE), and on site pub/club house.
Site is spread over two sides of road. Main site does not have direct access to lake. Secondary camping field with smaller toilet block does have.
Expensive site, very commercial. Think - 60’s Butlins site but without tannoy. Encourages large groups of very very loud people and kids. Not recommended if you want to experience the tranquillity of Ullswater.

We (2 adults & 2 children - 5 & 1 year olds) arrived on a Sunday afternoon for a few days & was allowed to choose where we wanted to pitch out tent in the barely half full main field. We chose a space fairly close to the clubhouse & despite what others have said couldn't hear any noise from it. There was noise from teenagers in the older kids playground until quite late, it would be nice to see this closed from about 10PM. Failing that some parental supervision might have been nice.
We forgot a few items & found the shop to be very well stocked & the prices pretty reasonable. Prices in the clubhouse & take away were better then I expected too. The toilet & shower block was quite large & never busy. I didn't have a problem paying 20p for a shower. I'm guessing this helps keep people moving when the place is busy & ensures plenty of hot water. The are plenty of sinks for washing dishes dotted around the site too. Reception were very helpful & had lots of information (& discounts) on local attractions. We went shopping on Penrith, to Ostrich World, on the Ullswater Steamers (which was quite expensive I thought) & my 5 year old daughter went on a pony trek. Pooley Bridge is just a short walk along the lake too.
This was my first time camping in about 20 years & we loved it. We had 1 day of constant rain which was the only letdown on the whole trip. Without rain you won't have lakes though. The cheesey music in the kiddie disco would have driven me crazy if we'd stayed any longer though. It's a beautiful place with fantastic scenery. I'd recommend it it you have kids, there looked to be lots of quieter fields further away from the centre if that's more your thing. I can't wait to go back.
This complex is fantastic, we went in August last year, for the 1st time. My girls age 3 and 7 really enjoyed it, that much so my eldest cried because she didn't want to leave. The facilities are exceptional, always clean.
There were all plenty of children playing on the playing area, even though we didn't try it out. We went out sight seeing. The shop on site is always well stocked, no need to take your own food unless its special dietary requirements.
Never went to the club because my girls were tired after all the fresh air and all the other activities we did. But sounded really good, maybe this year we might get to it (can't wait).
Staff are really friendly, which helps make your stay that bit better. We stayed on the middle field, brilliant what a sight of the lake, it was breath taking.
This is the second time we have visited this site but unfortunately we made a mistake by coming over a bank holiday weekend.
The first couple of days were fine as we were pitched up in their top field, which only has a mobile toilet but was clean and also only has two sinks for dish washing, but the shower block was only a short walk into the next field.
The problems were evident at the start of the weekend when the site was full; the facilities are not adequate enough to cope with the volume of people on site.
The site is very pricey for what is on offer (they put the price up for the bank holiday) and I was disappointed that site rules were not being enforced, noise after mid-night, barbecues burning the grass and litter left blowing around.
Due to the issues I have mentioned, we cut our break short by a couple of days and headed home.
I probably would visit this site again but never over a public holiday weekend.
Situated in a lovely scenic area overlooking the lake. Site kept clean and bins emptied frequently.
Small pitches, felt like sardines because you are so close you can hear people around you, so can be very noisy.
Facilities - There where two playgrounds which looked good for kids and they where away from the camping area which was good. Cannot comment on the toilets or showers as used our own, I will say they were a trek from camping as they where in the centre near the bar and office.
All in all if you have a kids probably a good site for you, but not if you want a get away for some peace.
P.S saw one warden when we arrived then didn't see any for the rest of the stay
Stayed at this site for a week, 1 caravan & 2 tents. First impressions of the site as we arrived were good, however the young girl who booked us in at reception was far from friendly and welcoming - very abrupt bordering on rude, not very good manners for someone dealing with the public on a daily basis!
Had electric tent pitches on gravel, not too level which was ok for the caravan but struggled with the tents, plenty of room though. We had the better pitches further away from the noise of the playground and club, this meant however a long walk to the showers & shop.
Needs more shower / toilet / chemical disposal facilities for such a large site. Beautiful views and very well stocked shop. Small clubhouse for the size of site. Expensive site when you then have to pay for your showers. Lots of dog owners on site. Never saw any wardens or cleaners the whole week we were there.
Pooley bridge very nice, kfc a few miles up the road towards penrith where there is a morrisons supermarket and good shops. Visited carlisle which is a lovely place and great for shopaholics. Boys took dinghy which is great for the on site lake. All in all a good stay and would visit again, just a few small changes would make this a very good site.
