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.

Engagement & 30th Birthday

Horton, Jessica - 17/08/2026

This year was our 4th year staying at Hillcroft Park. As always, the staff are super friendly and helpful. The glamping pod was clean and tidy for when we arrived. The park was busy as it is the school holidays but it was never a problem. The new petting area with the goats & pony was really nice...although Shelley was very very hungry ha!We have celebrated a few birthdays and anniversaries but this time we were celebrating my 30th birthday. The night before my partner proposed up on the hill overlooking Ullswater Lake. It was so romantic and perfect.We really enjoy stargazing at the pod once it gets dark enough. There isnt any light pollution so the stars are super bright. We even saw a couple of shooting stars too!Wonderful place to stay, can't wait for next year's trip! :D

This was our 4th stay at Hillcroft, twice camping and twice glamping. Love the location 10min walk from Pooley Bridge. Pod was fine overall although this stay we did have hot water issues, so hoping this will be rectified for our stay next year, which is already booked. Pod 4.

We had a fabulous stay at Hillcroft Park. The GlampingPods were very comfortable, the closed decking area was great for our dog. Very clean and well maintained. Small touches such as Molton Brown toiletries made it feel very luxurious. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to check everything was ok. Big shout out to John! The play park was amazing! The kids absolutely loved it and it was suitable for a wide range of ages. The weather was amazing when we were there and the kids suggested it would be great if they had a splash park to play in which would have made it even better. Absolutely lovely site, would absolutely recommend.
