The glamping pods at Hillcroft Park are the perfect location for glamping near Lake Ullswater in the Lake District. Owned and operated by the Heath Family, the award-winning Hillcroft Park sits above the pretty lakeside village of Pooley Bridge.

Hillcroft Park boasts one of the most stunning locations of any UK holiday park and you are sure to have an unforgettable glamping holiday here. Designed to meet the needs of holiday makers who appreciate the peace and tranquility found in this part of the world, Hillcroft Park provides an ever-changing landscape that is simply breathtaking throughout the year.

Our glamping pods are suitable for couples or families for up to 4 people. They are equipped with a king size bed, an en-suite shower, toilet, and sink, heating, a sofa in the living area that pulls out to a double bed, a kitchenette, table and chairs however you are required to bring your own bedding (i.e. pillows, sleeping bags, blankets, etc.) and other accessories as you would if you were camping. You can hire a Crockery box for £25 and or a linen pack for 2 guests for £25.00. These can be ordered via telephone prior to your arrival.

We love what we do and work hard to go that extra mile for our guests. Providing the best facilities with a personal touch, we’ve an onsite shop that sells a good range of local produce and everyday staples plus a play area with outdoor table tennis and football tables. There is a dedicated laundry room and a drying room.

We are lucky enough to be located in the beautiful Ullswater Valley and there are a multitude of walks for all levels and abilities in the area. A recent addition to the list is the Ullswater Way – a 20 mile circular walking route around the lake. The route can be walked in either direction and from any starting point.

Great Stay (Again)

This was our 4th stay at Hillcroft, twice camping and twice glamping. Love the location 10min walk from Pooley Bridge. Pod was fine overall although this stay we did have hot water issues, so hoping this will be rectified for our stay next year, which is already booked. Pod 4.

We had a fabulous stay at Hillcroft Park. The GlampingPods were very comfortable, the closed decking area was great for our dog. Very clean and well maintained. Small touches such as Molton Brown toiletries made it feel very luxurious. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to check everything was ok. Big shout out to John! The play park was amazing! The kids absolutely loved it and it was suitable for a wide range of ages. The weather was amazing when we were there and the kids suggested it would be great if they had a splash park to play in which would have made it even better. Absolutely lovely site, would absolutely recommend.

Great place! Exceeded expectations

Daley, Oprah - 24/07/2026

First time at hillcroft. We have just returned from a fantastic weekend with family staying in 3 of the glamping pods. Weather was fantastic 30 degrees everyday. The glamping pods were great! Park was fantastic for the kids it looked new and could entertain a wide age range. 10 minutes walk into the village although the hill was a killer. Only thing we would love to see is a communal area for when the weather is bad we would all have an area to sit instead of being cramped into one pod. However we were blessed so it did not matter. However typically English weather isnt so great.There was nothing we would of changed this weekend however we have considered booking a big house in the village due to no communal area next year but undecided because if the weather turns out great we would rather the pods.

To whom it may concern,We are just back from our visit to Hillcroft. We had a fantastic week thanks to the amazing staff and all the facilities.Standout member of staff was Trisha who gave us first class customer service from day one. She went above and beyond to make our stay special. Trisha is a massive asset to your business. We stayed in a beautiful lodge overlooking the park. Our 8 year old could just play safely and lived his best life. We will certainly be back and will highly recommend your site to all our friends & family.

Glamping pod

Oakford, Sarah - 02/06/2026

Lovely stay, pods were immaculate and well furnished. Tidy and clean campsite and welcoming, friendly staff. We also got pizza one night from the pizza van on site which was gorgeous. Kids loved the playground too. Beds were really comfy, the only tiny thing I’d say is that it said the beds were doubles so we brought sheets for both and they didn’t fit - next time we will bring non elasticated but might be worth mentioning something like this in the details - again that didn’t affect our stay at all we loved it.
