The camping pods at Hillcroft Park are the perfect location for staying 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 holiday here.
Designed to meet the needs of holiday makers who appreciate the peace and tranquillity found in this part of the world, Hillcroft Park provides an ever-changing landscape that is simply breathtaking throughout the year.
Camping Pods are suitable for couples or families of up to 2 adults and 3 Children. They are equipped with a light, heater and are carpeted, however, you are required to bring your own bedding (i.e. air beds, pillows, sleeping bags, blankets, etc.) and other accessories as you would if you were camping. Think of it as going camping, but we provide you with a camping pod rather than a tent.
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.

We arrived on the Friday afternoon, checked in with no problems and went to our pod. The site is great! The toilets and showers are immaculate and the staff are so friendly! Great location for walking into the village and beyond. We had an excellent stay and have already booked a return visit!

We stayed in one of the camping pods and were impressed overall. The facilities were spotless throughout our stay. The pod itself was cosy, and a great base for our holiday. The only small downside was that the heater looked a little dirty. The location is lovely and close to everything we needed. Although we stayed in August during a busy period, we were impressed by how peaceful and calm the site felt.One thing we did find less positive about was the toilet and shower facilities. Children seemed to be roaming around in them without adult supervision, which didn’t feel appropriate. As a lone parent/grandparent travelling without a male, my son sometimes felt intimidated using the male facilities when groups of teenagers were in there, yet also felt uncomfortable joining us in the ladies. It would be much better and safer if some changes could be made to ensure that all guests, especially families and lone parents, feel comfortable and secure using the amenities.
Thankyou for your review , we are sorry to hear of your findings reference the toilet block and we will certainly take them into consideration , we don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable . We will address the situation and look to find a resolution to this .We hope this hasn't put you of for future visits and look forward to welcoming you back on the park.Many ThanksPam

I stayed at hillcroft park for 6 days over the bank holiday weekend. I stayed in a camping pod with my 2 children, but went with a lot of my extended family, there was anout 30 of us on total, staying in camping pods/glamping pods/tents and a camper van. We had a brilliant time. The camping pod was really convenient, spacious, with electrical sockets, a heater, private decking and our own picnic bench. The location was stunning, and the facilities were clean, and maintained to an excellent standard. My family have gone every year for the past 6 years or so, but this was my first visit, I was very impressed, and I will definitely return. Big shout out to John, who was super friendly, both him and his wife(im so sorry, i cant remember her name) made us feel so welcome 😊

The area the site is in is absolutely stunning, next to a lovely little village. Albeit a tourist trap with prices. But still stunning. The site itself is lovely, fantastic facilities and very well maintained. Pizzas on site and breakfast food from the food truck. Pizza looked fantastic but didn't eat any. We stayed in a basic pod which was fine, it had a balcony which was a little tired with varnish peeling off and a broken spindle but I'm picking holes here. We'd definitely go back, great site beautiful area

We stayed for 2 nights in a camping pod.Staff were so welcoming and polite. Site was beautiful, clean and in a fantastic location.The town was stunning with amazing views of the river. Wish we had booked for longer as still so much to do.

Our first time in the Lake District and certainly won’t be the last. Hillcroft was the perfect site. Everything was looked after to a high standard, the staff were so friendly, especially the wardens. The shower and toilet block were immaculate. We can’t wait to come back!

Great facilities, lovely clean park. Would have liked a campers area such as a small room to use a microwave, kettle as other sites have had this and is useful when having younger children. Pooley bridge has lots of choice for food, necessities . Great location for the lake/activitsuch as paddleboarding. Pizza night is great but would have liked this to be offered on more than a couple.of nights

Would definitely recommend the site for families or couples Even for your self. They don't have to change anything to improve their standards.
