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.

Delightful pod stay

Skipper, Kristian - 27/10/2026

I stayed in a furnished pod for 2 nights in October with my partner. The pod was nip and clean plus had everything you needed. Took our own cutlery and bedding. The bed was surprisingly comfortable and site provided a bed sheet as ours didn't fit.The heating was essential for the time of year and made the pod very cosy. The shower was very good, really powerful, probably the same or even better what you would get staying in a hotel.I would definitely stay again, helped by the friendly staff.Thanks Hillcroft

Wonderful getaway !

Batey, Paul - 22/10/2026

On arrival at the park everything was all ready waiting for us, the pod was super warm with the heating already on and absolutely spotless, within ten minutes we were unpacked and set up for the weekend.The facilities in the pod were all extremely good although not being a halogen hob user this was a bit tricky (don't think we had the correct type of pan). Shower was spotless and lovely and warm, toilet was clean with toilet roll provided.The bed was extremely comfortable and we had two nights of solid sleep.Overall we had an absolutely lovely stay at Hillcrest and will definitely be returning.

Thank you for taking the time to bring the issue with the settee in your glamping pod to our attention.We are sorry to hear that you noticed marks on the settee during your stay and apologise for any inconvenience or disappointment this may have caused.Had we been made aware of the issue at the beginning of your three-night stay, we would have been more than happy to address it for you. We could have arranged for the settee to be cleaned or, where possible, offered you an alternative pod to ensure you were comfortable for the duration of your stay.We always want our guests to have an enjoyable and comfortable experience, and we are disappointed that this was not brought to our attention while you were with us, as we would have welcomed the opportunity to put things right at the time.Thank you again for your feedback. We will ensure the settee is checked and addressed accordingly.
