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.

Beautiful glamping pod, beautiful village

Page, Nicola - 04/12/2025

Had the most amazing 2 nights stay in a beautiful glamping pod. We arrived after dark and was greeted by friendly helpful staff who directed us to our pod. Lovely touch to have a (much needed) torch attached to our keys. The pod was spotlessly clean and a very good size. After unpacking we ventured into the very cute village of Pooley Bridge where there happened to be a Christmas event happening, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly local community. Overall our stay was fantastic and we will definitely return and highly recommend.

Great site, location and amenities

Bellas, Anna - 20/11/2025

Glamping pod was excellent, warm cosy comfortable and roomy enough (2 x adults and a soon to be teenager in our group).Location is great for walks, biking and visiting Pooley Bridge.Site has everything-we were out of season so didn’t get to experience some of it but all looked great. Only thing that would improve the stay more would be additions to the add on package - utensils plates etc. Missing were wine glasses and washing up liquid /cloth = so if these were added I think that would be a great addition.

The only problem I had was the rusty kit I payed £25 for I felt ridiculous paying that price for a box filled with water and rust covering most of the items
