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.

Fabulous weekend with family

Farrelly, Linda - 26/06/2025

We had another amazing time at Hillcroft with our grandchildren. The staff are friendly and very welcoming. The site is immaculately clean and the showers and toilets are gleaming. The playground is safe in every way however there is still plenty of adventure to be had.We took part in the Charity event which was fabulous, the food and entertainment was enjoyed by all. We will be back soon to make more memories.

Camping pod not furnished

Mackay, Ruairidh - 26/06/2025

I felt very let down upon arrival to find there was no furniture within the camping pod. I know I am guilty of not reading the small print but when I booked it there was no obvious notice warning about there being no furniture.I feel even in subsequent emails there needs to be something about it being unfurnished. Part of my assumption that it would be furnished was the price. £70 for a wooden tent is - in my opinion - very steep. I don't think I'll be back - other issues was noise levels from other residents drinking into the small hours. The toilet facilities were excellent though so top marks on that.

Fantastic stay

Would probably put a picture of the inside of your pods other than the top of the range. It was not clear that no bedding actually meant no beds either. The situation was superbly resolved with no fuss and we had a wonderful weekend thank you

Very impressed

Godsmark, Jessica - 17/04/2025

We booked a camping pod as a last minute trip, upon arrival we were very impressed how well maintained the park was. We arrived at our pod and were shocked at how big it actually was & had everything we needed plugs, information leaflets, coat hook, blackout blinds.These pods are also very well insulated it's the first time we've been camping and never been cold.We are a family of 5 and had 3 very small dogs and all fit in the pod no problem we left our extra bags in the car to give us space for the beds.Loved that the pod had the fence around so handy for the dogs.The toilet and shower facilities are immaculate very well maintained definitely the best ones I've ever used on a site.We would definitely stay again and highly recommend to others. :-)
