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.

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.

A great stay

We had a great stay in a glamping pod. The pod was clean and well equipped and very quiet over night. The staff were friendly and helpful and our daughter loved the new play area. The site is a short walk into Pooley bridge so was a great location for activities on the lake and for somewhere to eat in the evening.

Glamping newbie’s

This was our first glamping holiday, to be with children/grandchildren who were camping on the site and have been before. The site is first rate, great for the kids with a fabulous playground. The glamping pod was very clean, the bed was comfortable and the shower was powerful and hot. On a personal level, the downside for us was we would have liked to have had some storage for groceries to get them out sight rather than in bags on the table, and we would have preferred an actual allocated parking bay outside the pod. Our next visit would be in one of the lodge's, they look fabulous . Pooley Bridge is a lovely place, we enjoyed days out at the river , the lakeside and Aira Force. We had excellent meals at the Crown Inn and Pooley Bridge Inn.

Good Afternoon Thankyou for your review, the team here at Hillcroft appreciate your feedback .Unfortunatly the size of the Glamping pods do not lend themselves to extra storage for groceries, im sure when you stay next time in the lodges you will not have this issue. You will also have a dedicated parking area .We look forward to welcoming you back on the park in the future.Many ThanksPam
