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.

Great few days on an immaculate site

Great few days, highly recommend. John the groundsman is very friendly and helpful. Only a slight niggle, as our crockery pack was ready on arrival and I didn't check before reception closed so had to wait until the next morning to get it.

We have been visiting Hillcroft Park for a number years and try to visit as often as possible, the glamping pod is warm, cosy and has everything we need for our stay.The site is immaculate from the landscape to the facilities and all staff are friendly and welcoming.The location is just perfect with the village just a few minutes walk away with great places to shop, eat and drink all dog friendly too, also having great links to the ferry and many amazing walks with breathtaking views directly from the Hillcroft Park.

Family gathering

When we booked it was a little unclear as to what facilities came with the pod. A brief telephone call clarified the matter. Upon arrival we received a pleasant greeting and the position of the pod confirmed. The pod itself was clean, tidy and cosy. Once unpacked we linked up with family, who were in their respective caravans, and so began the weekend celebrations of our daughter’s 50th. It started with an evening meal in the Pooley Bridge Inn with family and friends. The following day involved a trip to Ambleside (Apple Pie Shop). The next day we walked down to the Ulswater Steamer Station to take a trip around the lake, stopping at Glenridding for coffee at The Inn on the Lake. All in all a lovely weekend.We found Hillcroft Park the ideal spot to stay.

Brilliant place to stay !

We started coming to Hillcroft over 25 years ago when we owned a static . We no longer have it as the kids grew out of it. We have camped more recently but have now moved onto the Glamping Pods which are amazing. In the cooler months you have the heating in them which is lovely and cosy. We particularly like the fact it’s less than 10mins walk into the village which has numerous pubs and cafes/restaurants. Amazing place !
