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.

What a beautiful part of the world

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

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

We stay at Hillcroft every year in the camping pods. The site is exceptional, with a play area & plenty of room.for the kids to explore & play safely. The shower block and facilities are cleaned often & always well.stocked. There is a well stocked shop & Pooley Bridge is a short walk away. The pods themselves are clean & perfect if you're not a tent person! Great value for money too! I'd definitely recommend Hillcroft to anyone!!

Absolutely lovely campsite, very family and dog friendly the communal facilities are of an excellent standard. The campsite shop has all of your basic needs. Staff are friendly and helpful. There are a variety of options such as glamping pods, camping pods and tent pitches to suit everyone’s needs. They have a large recreational area for games, dog walking and a park for young children. This campsite is perfectly located within a five minute walk from Pooley Bridge village which dog friendly everywhere and has some delightful pubs and shops. This area and this campsite is one of my most favourite places to be and we have been going every year for the last 10 years. I would recommend this campsite to anyone.
