Waterside Farm Campsite Ullswater

Waterside House Campsite, Ullswater Description

We are a working farm and campsite on the shore of Ullswater in the Lake District .

Waterside House farm and Campsite has been run by the same family for five generations.

The farmhouse is dated 1694 and is part of a working farm with land covering 279 acres. The farm is home to a flock of Swaledale Ewes, who spend most of their time on the nearby Barton Fell.

At certain times of the year you may see the sheep being dipped, sheared or even the birth of a lamb. You will certainly see sheepdogs at work.

Cattle and calves are reared and can be seen in the fields around the campsite during the summer months

Waterside House provides excellent facilities and a peaceful park in which to relax and enjoy your holiday in the midst of the Lakeland Scenery.

Our clients, many of whom return year after year, are mainly families, couples, walkers and a few well-supervised groups who enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

Facilities include
•Excellent modern shower & toilet facilities with hot water to all basins
•Electric hook-ups
•Hand & hair dryers
•Chemical disposal point
•Disabled Toilet
•Fully equipped laundry
•Childrens adventure area (in the family field)

What a great Camping site no matter what the weather �

We have just returned from a weekend away and loved it. Arrived on Saturday & managed to get a pitch right by the lake. Beautiful views lots of peace & tranquillity. On arrival the receptionist was very friendly, informative & helpful.

You can walk to Poole Bridge which will take you about 20min along the Lakes.

Toilet & shower facilities are great with lots of warm water & its free

I highly recommend this campsite

Looking forward to our next visit.

Me and my wife and family have been coming here for the last 15 years. Since all the kids have flown the nest they bring there children now. We still come here on our own or with family. Always made welcome by all the staff, and Colin & Joan. What a beautiful place it is.

My girls loved seeing to farm animals and loved the farm dogs too � will be back again best place ever !! With spectacular views of lake..we didn't want to leave x

User

Have stayed here numerous times in summer over the years in a large group of my family and family friends. We usually bring boats and kayaks as you are right on the waters edge! Stunning location and toilet/shower facilities are brill. Can't wait to bring my daughter.

User

Have been to this campsite many times over the 15years. First with my family and now with the family and grandchildren. It has immaculate facilities which have all been updated and very modern. Staff are very hard working but never too far away to accommodate you. Friendly at all time of day or night. Back to nature waking up to the sound of cows, sheep and if course the birds singing. Views are beautiful no matter what time of year you visit. It now has electric hook ups. Close to parkfoot, poolley bridge a short walk away. Boat and canoe hire on site. Would recommend this campsite to anyone and everyone.

User

Amazing site in an incredible location. We stayed in one of the pods (with a toddler!) and had a fantastic time! Waking up to look out on the lake every morning, absolutely stunning. The site was very well laid out, toilets and showers really clean and modern, the staff were so lovely and friendly and there was a wooden playground right by the lake that was great for the little one. Had a really fab time and will be back again.

User

Amazing campsite perfect position on lake for great views from your tent while sitting back enjoying a drink . Staff were very helpful whenever we needed them . Just a short walk from pooley bridge where there are great pubs , shops and restaurants . Highly recommend this place

User

Absolutely fantastic campsite extremely clean the facility’s are spotless and probably the best we have used and the scenery is beautiful the site itself in regards to pitches are maintained too a very high standard and the staff all very friendly we will be back very soon thank you all

User

What a beautiful setting, not been before but will return, great open landscape and basically pitch where you want (non ehu) staff very friendly, site, showers, toilets are spotless and a little onsite shop and a catering van open fri-sun, 15 min walk into pooley bridge which has a couple of shops 4/5 lovely pubs and a couple of restaurants, highly recommended

User

This is a fantastic site for campervans and for direct access to Ullswater lake the facilities are good but the toilet block in the back field could have just been cleaned and loo roll & soap re-filled more often especially on a bank holiday!!

It would also be useful to have a small canopy shelter erected over the washing up area.

Would definitely return
