Probably the tidiest and cleanest camp site we’ve ever stayed at. Location and facilities were great, shower/toilet facilities were more in keeping with a modern hotel, decent play area for the kids, easy access to the local village, walking routes and a well stocked on site shop at fair prices. Will definitely stay again....Read less.

Our first return to the site for about a year. New toilet block is very good and helps relieve the pressure in those busy periods. Good easy access to pitches and clear evidence of ongoing improvements and maintenance.

used to be guided to pitch by a warden, but this seems to have stopped.

We will return as we enjoy ourselves here rain or shine....Read less.

Stayed in caravan but tents next to us on the same side close and noisy.

ladies toilets could do with a good mop - male attendant only mopped the areas that were dirty - the actual toilet cubicles needed mopped too.

Overall very nice site...Read less.

I have stayed at Hillcroft Park half a dozen times now and keep returning - I have also just booked for next year to secure my electric pitch which is maintained to the highest standards. The warm welcome from the reception team is lovely and sets the scene for a lovely atmosphere throughout your stay. If I had to comment on an area for improvement, I would say that the on-site shop could do with a refurb and restock. Don't let this put you off visiting though - you won't be disappointed....Read less.

What a fantastic family holiday we had! Great park and facilities with so much going on nearby. Great local amenities and lots of things to do. Walking, boating, canoeing climbing, pubs shops...all made our stay amazing! We even had good weather..bonus!...Read less.

This place is great , they have stunning facilitys ,they keep the place very nice and all the staff are sound as a pound ! They have regular security doing the rounds at night but they do not bother you unless your doing somthing you know you shouldn't be doing .pooley bridge is on your doorstep and there are dozens of things to do in the area or alternatively the likes of ambleside is just over the kirkstone pass which is a stunning drive.There is 1 single reason why i may have to stop using this beautiful place unfortunately and use an alternative camp site and that is the fact that it seems a battle to be able to put up your gazebo/event shelter .I have been camping many many years and know most of the rules by now on camping .The second to last time i used the site i was refused permission to put up my gazebo even though there was ample room to put it up even with the tents that arrived later and the ones that was already there when we pitched up .The last time i booked i asked on the phone before booking and we come to an aggement on a certain picth and was given permission to put it up but it was not as easy as i think it should have been to get the ok due to the fact right infront of my eyes were tents extremely close together in some parts but on the other hand there is a problem with a gazebo when there is ample room to put it up for shade for the kids and also the dog without being in a red hot humid tent.I cannot say anything bad about this place or any of the staff , they all do a good job and it shows but for the reason i talked about unfortunately may not return again ....Read less.

Wonderful site. Our fully serviced pitch was excellent. The toilet block the very best we have visited. Although we are retired and travel on our own it was great to see the families in pods with bbq’s going and kids playing rounders....Read less.

We were only 20 miles away from home but we could have been anywhere. The weather was alright some sunny spells no rain until the packing up time! We found the camp site was a lovely set up very clean and staff really nice and polite. The shower block was very clean and done hourly. Excellent location for Pooley bridge and surrounding area for lots to do. We will definitely be back. That is for a fab few days away....Read less.

I often go to another site near Pooley Bridge and have been quite happy there but we thought we would hive Hillcroft a try after a recommendation and some research. Well worth the extra cost mainly because of the allocated and in some cases, electric hooked up pitches and the excellent toilet facilities Praise to the park staff also, for whom nothing seemed to be too much trouble. We are all a little old to use the children's facilities, but those we saw using them appeared to have a good time and there was enough space on the fields for children to play amongst themselves. The camping fields are an adequate size to feel cosy and secure. We particularly liked the security cockerel who came around for camp inspection near BBQ time and he in turn seemed to like the odd scrap we tossed his way. Lol! Normally I would recommend this site without hesitation, but I'm reluctant for fear of it being spoilt by over popularity!...Read less.

The area I staying we loved only down fall was the children from the tent area were always playing near to us as we were at the bottom of the bank, sometimes this was annoying as in one occasion one boy caught my car with his scooter. When staying again I would prefer the top area...Read less.

Perfect site for a 6 year old boy to enjoy - liked the way the tents were round the outside of the field , not crammed in and plenty space for kids to play. Shower facilities excellent, staff very friendly. Not the sites fault but pubs in Pooley Bridge not very good value for money or quality for food . But we were happy to stay on the site as it offered everything we wanted and will definitely return....Read less.

Could not find fault at all, We had two nights there camping and we were very impressed with the facility's they were very clean and well maintained, We also liked that there was security on all night and the noise was kept down....Read less.

Hillcroft is a first class camp site, however, let down by inconsiderate noisy campers and poor resolution by security once a complaint was made. I was present with my family inc an infant daughter. A large group of adjacent campers played loud music into the night and beyond 23.00. When I complained a security guard seemed not equipped nor willing to deal with the issue and asked only that the noise was lowered! The noise continued and i made a second complaint. The site needs to impose the noise cut off time and review taking large group bookings....Read less.

We say at hill croft several times a year often in the lodges which are of a high standard but for weekends we use the clamping pods which we feel are all we need for a 2 or 3 night stay. I will say I don't like pod number 10 feels dark and damp as it is surrounded by trees no light or Sun getting through. Need to trim trees back....Read less.

Have stayed at HillCroft several times this year and already have several more visits booked The welcome when you first arrive is lovely. Jane and Trish are so friendly and can answer most questions about the local area. John and Jill, the owners, and their family are so hands on it’s amazing. Many friendly chats with them both at 6am in the morning. The site is beautiful and so well cared for From the camping field, pods, touring pitches to the static caravans and lodges. Everyone is catered for. The attention to detail is superb and is rarely found on sites like this any more Looking forward to my next visit next week The village of Pooley Bridge is a short walk away and also caters for everyone from snacks and lunches, to pub meals and fine dining at 1863. Small restaurant which has just been mentioned by London’s timeout as one of the 10 restaurants to visit around the country outside of London. Having eaten there recently I would recommend it to anyone looking for something a little bit different and special. There are lots of lovely walks from the site and 10 mins up the lane you are on the fells and could be miles away from anywhere Can’t recommend the site and location enough...Read less.

Hillcroft is a lovely site and we were very pleased with the whole layout of the site, the general upkeep of the place and the excellent facilities. It’s ideal for Motorhomes as there are good shops and pubs within short walking distance as well as some beautiful walks straight from the site. The weather was also gorgeous which showed off the site at its best.

Very unfortunately we were unlucky enough to pitch up in our new motorhome on our first weekend away, opposite a very noisy group of 4 families with children who were left mostly unsupervised and who played loud music from their card with the doors wide open. They pitched their tents in an ‘encampment’ with a huge fire pit in the middle. The noise started soon after our arrival at 2pm until past midnight. Although the field was patrolled occasionally, and we were assured by reception staff the following morning that the group had been warned to turn the music down several times, as soon as the warden had gone, it was turned up again. We felt we didn’t want to sit outside our motorhome despite the lovely warm evening as the group were so loud and disruptive but on the second night we felt we didn’t want it to beat us. Hence we did sit out but we put our own music on, not loud enough to disturb others, but so that it drowned out some of the background noise for us so we could relax a bit.

I think the families should have been asked to leave on Friday night after a couple of warnings as they continued their antics on into the Saturday from about 5pm until 11pm. The other alternative is to limit booking for groups of friends to maybe 2 camped together. This issue, and the amusements building at the bottom of the field, which was also quite noisy and frankly, not really in keeping with the rest of the up-market site, were the only negative aspects of our stay. But as most people I’m sure would agree, this type of experience can tend to dominate your memories of your stay at a particular site.

As I know people who have a static on the site I understand this is a rare occurrence but had I just booked out of the blue I don’t think we would have returned. However we will return because of overall high standards and friendliness of the staff on-site but we will camp in an area limited to Motorhomes and caravans....Read less.

A nice quiet campsite with the best toilet block facilities I've seen and within easily walking distance of Ullswater and Pooley Bridge. Extremely clean and tidy, friendly staff.

A refreshing change from the overly busy and congested Parkfoot site....Read less.

Park excellent, very clean and tidy with well kept grounds. Accommodation beautiful, stayed in Aspen which was spotless and had everything we needed.

Boiler stopped working on last day due to low water pressure and within 5 minutes of ringing a man was there and it was fixed.

Would highly recommend the park and we just wish we'd found it years ago when our kids were younger as it is so can't friendly.

...Read less.

Hired a motor home for a weeks holiday booked for a two night stay, blown away by the site great pitch, toilet, shower block and washing facilities had recently been opened we believe, we thought they were superb. Would definitely return....Read less.

We found Hillcroft to be a 5* site, toilet & shower block fantastic and clean.

Lovely and quiet, only saw staff cleaning and the lady was quietly getting on.

Only down side was in games Room, paid for air hockey but no puk, searched but no sign...so wasted money. Forgot to inform anyone the next day our fault.

Will book again... Highly recommend x...Read less.

Toilet and washing facilities were first class. Pitch was a fair size and layout of park was lovely. We were frustrated by the noise situation for a variety of reasons. First, we clearly got the impression that (like most family friendly campsites in the area) groups were not allowed. However, on 4 out of the 5 nights that we stayed on site, we were kept awake after ten pm and sometimes after 11pm by people who had grouped together, sat around having loud conversations and sometimes playing music aloud. This was sometimes groups of campers but more often groups staying in the 'pods' who had clearly come prepared for long, loud, late night barbecues and socialising. The litter left behind by these was disappointing. Moreover we were frustrated as we had come prepared with an event shelter to use at the front of our tent. Our family tent is not as big as others, and we find this a good way of having covered area for our daughter to play in, or for us to eat in, and still having a sleeping/living area inside. However we were surprised to read the site rules on the sign board saying no gazebos. This wasnt obvious to us upon booking (I confess to not studying all of the small print but it wasn't obvious). Indeed we had rejected another local site and chosen yours for this reason. To be polite, my wife went to ask at reception if we could put up the event shelter. She was made to feel uncomfortable, with the reason given that it promotes noise, but it was permitted, thankyou for this as it would have been most frustrating to not be allowed. We were then shocked by the levels of noise that were permitted (sometimes from groups with gazebos, sometimes not), when the staff had seemed so keen to prevent it. We had a gazebo, yet were silent after 8pm as our daughter was sleeping, and in bed before ten pm. May I suggest that you put your focus onto preventing noisy groups, rather than unnecessarily putting off quiet families purely because they have an event shelter?

Similarly with ball games- the stated policy of no ball games on the grass between the tents is admirable, but it should be enforced or have more clear signage! My wife and I both politely asked various groups of children on different days to follow the rules as we were concerned that they would knock out stove over while cooking. We were on pitch 12 and frequently had children and adults kicking balls into our area, as it is down the hill. Once, after asking a child politely and pointing out the rules, a mother accused us of being "the police" and "forgetting what it is like to be a child". Evidently this spoiled our family holiday to a small extent. We liked much about the park, but will be considering other local camp sites instead next time. As very frequent campers and visitors to the northern Lake District, we may return, but if we find something that appears better then we think it will be worth a try....Read less.

We chose Hillcroft on the spare of the moment as it was close to home and pet friendly. In hindsight we should have been a little more vigilant with our choice as it was our dogs first camping trip.

The park is large, has everything from mobile homes, pods, tourers and tents and was a little full on for our pooch. He was anxious from the moment we arrived and was vocal for the first hour of our visit as we pitched our tent, however he started to calm after the initial excitment.

Unfortunately a member of staff came to our pitch, when the dog was settled to say there had been a complaint. This then unsettled us, as there was loud music, children shouting and playing ball games on an area that quite clearly stated no ball games and general noise.

We couldn't relax. Everytime our dog made a noise (usually because children were being loud and playing in a prohibited area) we were on edge.

We left and were home in time for bed.

This is a lovely site, if loud and lively is your thing. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with a lively dog though. It seems the clientel have no issue with screaming kids, but barking dogs are another matter!...Read less.

Very well drained pitches (put to the test by torrential rain!), very well thought out site. Only improvements could be the water pressure was very high at some washroom and washing up sinks that meant the front of you got wet. also same in the shower the divider wasn't big enough to keep the dry area dry, so an extra hook or too could have been useful, however, these were gripes that would not put me off going, because on balance it is an excellent place....Read less.

We are a family of 5, kids ages 12, 7 and 3 and we booked Saturday 28th to Monday 30th July. Staff were really helpful and friendly on our arrival and we could see that the park was immaculately maintained. The facilities such as the toilets, showers and pot washing area were excellent and were spotless throughout our stay. There was somebody cleaning pretty much each time we visited the toilets/showers which was great to see!

There was a children's play area which looked really good but because it rained solidly during our stay we didn't get to use it but there was also a games room with arcade machines inside to keep the kids entertained if needed. We visited the Puzzling Place in Keswick while we were there and it only cost us £11.75 for us all to get in; it's less than 30 minutes away in the car and I would recommend this for rainy stays!

The only gripe I could mention was that bin area near our plot was overflowing with rubbish even though there were about a dozen large bins so I'm not sure how often these are emptied but we were having to try and ram any waste we had in where it would fit. Some people had just decided to start leaving bags of rubbish on the floor in front of them. I could see this attracting a lot of pests if it's a regular occurrence.

All in all though we really enjoyed our stay there despite the weather and we will definitely give it another go and hopefully get a bit of sun next time!...Read less.

We returned to site again to camp but this year choose the top field to camp on. This was a decision made last year, the new toilet facilities are fantastic. They are a much improve addition to a already clean and tidy site. I would highly recommend people to come and stay. We have already booked for next year....Read less.

Couldn't fault it, we stayed at the site and attended kendal calling festival in our Vw T5. The facilities were very good with big pitches and spotless showers and toilets. We loved the bird song in the changing rooms. Would definitely stay again. I will be recommending the site to others in camper vans. Jack and Amy...Read less.

Amazing site. Facilities were fantastic. Old shower block could do with refurb to match new ones. And maybe a female cleaner in the ladies.

Overall fantastic. Gutted we had to leave early due to bad weather...Read less.

Hillcroft is a very attractive, smart and clean site by the beautiful area of Pooley BRIDGE and Ullswater. We stayed in a pod which was clean and roomy enough, however, it was completely unfinished and we have now heard of several places where their pods were furnished so would prefer to try those in future. The site was constantly being cleaned and staff friendly. The camp shop was much appreciated and the grandchildren who stayed in tents nearby loved the playground....Read less.

Hillcroft park is a lovely site with friendly staff and the new facillities block is very nice, they even have a doggie shower.

We stayed in pod 10 which is shaded by trees all of the time, i was sat out on the decking in my fleece while other people around me was sat out in the sun with vest tops, a 5 min walk into village where there are 3 dog friendly pubs all with beer gardens,a bistro and a few shops.

I would return to this sight but not pod 10 too many trees shading it....Read less.

As a family we stayed in 3 camping pods. Our first trip to Hillcroft and the first camping trip for some of members of our family.

We could not have chosen a better site, with better facilities. 5 star for everything in our opinion. From the shower blocks to the pot washing area and the dog shower, probably the best site we’ve stayed at.

Had a wonderful time, wished we could have stayed longer and we’re already talking about planning our next trip. Great location for exploring the Lake District....Read less.

We had a superb time this July at Hillcroft! We'd stayed before, in a pod, however this time it was a tent. Let's forget the tent, as it didn't make it back from the trip (!) and concentrate on the site.

We were first met by a very helpful and friendly gent in the reception, who guided us to our spot. Next up was some urgent supplies bought from the very handy shop. We marvelled at the new solutions block; absolutely fantastic; modern, ultra clean, trendy, and complete with realistic outdoor sounds over the internal speaker system. Fabulous! The actual tent area was great, flat with cut grass, and plenty of space to set up the tent as well as off loading the kayak. The new games area was also excellent.....the biggest Pac man arcade game the world has ever seen!!!

We spent the next two days in the kayak on Ullswater, and had breakfast and evening meal in Pooley Bridge.

In summary, great staff, beautifully maintained site facilities, great price; what more could you ask for!?!...Read less.

A return visit for us to this fantastic Park. Everything to do with our stay at Hillcroft was first class. Location, Park and Accommodation all well kept & spotless. No complaints or negative remarks whatsoever. We will return for a third time next year and may I thank all of the team at Hillcroft for making our stay so enjoyable....Read less.

Great layout, spacious pitches well maintained. We stayed on fully serviced pitch with caravan tourer. Toilet and washing facilities first class, almost hotel standard. Our only criticism would be around stone used on the hard standing pitches. Whilst we appreciate Buttermere field is in early stages of development, a softer more pebble like stone and/or more grass areas on each pitch would give a less harsh feeling....Read less.

Stayed in two different lodges. Both were excellent with modern decor, clean, quiet and each had a welcoming gift. The location of the Park was also very good. Only a 5-10 minute walk to Pooley Bridge and many walks nearby....Read less.

A major problem is with the gravel pitches around field B which flood a problem for me which I could have well done without In flooding because of the sub base of the gravel pitches flooding brings mud to the surface Very messy Not good will book grass pitch next time A very nice toilet block but you should have fitted standard taps Much better than those auto on off things...Read less.

We stayed in a Meridian Lodge Four our family of 4 and the dog, the lodge was very spacious. Kitchen was very well equipped and had everything you could possibly need. We loved the hot tub and the dressing gowns and slippers provided were an added bonus.

The site was extremely clean and everyone was really friendly

A fish and chip van was on site on the Saturday night - while the queue was huge and we waited ages - they were well worth it !

The location is perfect Dogs welcome everywhere. We went on a steam boat tour on Ullswater and that was a great day out for the whole family....Read less.

We had a really nice stay. Its the first time we have stayed since the new shower and toilet facilities and we were very impressed.we have a small camper van and our family stayed in a pod. The only thing about our van pitch was that it was on quite a slope so made it so that we had a big step out of the van, our two year old grandson found this a little tricky. All the staff members were very friendly and helpful. We feel that the playground would benefit from having somethings that a toddler could play on, most of the activities are a little adventurous for a two year old. All in all we had a lovely stay at Hill croft Park and will definitely stay again....Read less.

Overall very satisfied with the whole experience, the quality and cleanliness of the wash facilities and toilets were outstanding. My only negative comments would be with the hard standing material that being that it was very difficult to erect the awning due to the difficulty of getting the tent pegs to enter the ground and once up even with footprint and awning carpet it was hard on the feet with some quite sharp stones. Broke my rubber mallet and bent a few pegs!

But would definitely use the site again and have recommended to friends....Read less.

Our first plot was 38 in field “B” which suffered when the rain came with rising water in the awning. The staff sorted us out with a new location immediately, the next day they were laying tonnes of aggregate to sort the issue. Fast immediate response. This did not (dampen) our fun and love of the park and the area. It’s perfect for children, security politely asking any noisy campers to quieten down at a reasonable time. The shower block is amazing and it’s one of the best kept sites i’ve visited. Will definitely return. Thanks....Read less.

As a family of 13, with a combination of tents, caravans and camper vans, we were pleasantly surprised that this site could accommodate us very easily, pitched in a group altogether. The site is very pretty, well maintained, the owners clearly take pride in their site.

We were blessed with lovely weather, and enjoyed visiting the local area with plenty of amenities close to hand.

Despite being the first weekend of the school holidays, and the site being fully booked, it never felt uncomfortably busy. Plenty of families and groups camping together, but noise was never a problem.

Facilities were perfect. The brand new toilet/shower block is wonderful... they have thought of everything. The games room is really useful for older kids.

Highly recommended. Lovely site....Read less.

We only planned 1 night, on route to Scotland, but thought it a really pleasant site, very clean, showers & toilets excellent, a nice walk into the village, down hill going & up coming back)

Only downside for us as a couple was that there were lots of children, we would have loved this 20 years ago but less so now....Read less.

We stayed for two nights travelling back to Scotlad from the Peak District. It’s not far off M6 so suited us perfectly. The toilets were excellent and our super pitch was huge! Highly recommended and will return!...Read less.

Absolutely brilliant place with the new wash facilities and the cleanliness of the park, great stafff and easy arrival

Only issue was the noise, I understand it was the start of the school holidays however the ease in which people can book camping spots next to their family and friends meant it was extremely rowdy

Also we were on camping spot 64 and the noise on the Friday night of the cows bawling all night meant we had little to no sleep as it was constant all night!

We would return however not in the school holidays or if the rules changed where large groups couldn’t book spots together - we would probably choose camping field A too...Read less.

A well organised park with excellent new facilities, it was good to see that the park was not allowed to be too over cramped with tents and that areas were left to enjoy. Very clean and well maintained, pods were great fun, already booked to go back....Read less.

Stayed at Hillcroft previously and thought that the only thing that would improve our experience would be if the weather was better :-) Fortunately on this occasion the weather was fantastic.

As on previous visit the site & lodge were immaculate and the facilities were well maintained by the helpful friendly staff.

A first class experience we would definitely think of returning.

...Read less.

When we arrived it seemed a lot more tourist based than our previous campsites and the sheer number of people seemed to be a concern. But once we had pitched our tents and were blown away at how amazing the facilities were all worries faded. The staff were welcoming and helped us find our pitch. It was so peaceful and great. I will definitely come again...Read less.

We have just returned after a week spent in the Lake District at Hillcroft Park. We were not disappointed as this park is excellent. We stayed in Vogue 22 a lodge situated not too far from the entrance. The accommodation was first class spotlessly clean and everything you could think of was provided for a self catering holiday. The owners and all the staff are very friendly. On arrival we were taken to the lodge and a bottle of wine and milk in the fridge was provided! An added bonus of course was the beautiful weather. We would highly recommend this park with its lodges, pods, motorhomes and tourers and camping fields. First class all round....Read less.

Having recently purchased a roof tent this was its first outing, and my wife and I couldn't have picked a nicer place. Friendly helpful staff, fantastic facilities and spotlessly clean. We were so impressed that we booked five days with you in August as soon as we returned home from our Hillcroft experience....Read less.

Just got back Saturday from our second time here , stayed for a week .We love it so does our collie dog . Stayed in a two bed lodge with hot tub our favourite ( jasmine ) . Lovely and clean had decking with gate to stop from dog wandering off . Staff are all very nice and welcoming Had some gorgeous weather and lovely walks with some amazing views over ullswater . We will be back in the future some time x...Read less.

I've camped once at this site and stayed once in one of the lodges and was both times welcomed by the very helpful and committed staff. All staff are extremely nice and go above and beyond to help you. They are a credit to the site. They really are!! The washroom facilities are immaculate. I've never seen anything like the cleanliness on a camp site before as perfect as this one. Regarding the lodge we stayed in last week it was spacious, spotlessly clean, and very modern and had absolutely everything we needed and more! Thank you to everyone who works there, behind the scene staff and front desk staff....Read less.

We had not been to Hill Croft Park before but were very impressed with the layout and facilities. Perfect for a motorhome as it is very close to Pooley Bridge, 10 minute stroll. Touring area very well maintained and the shower block is excellent. Good walking routes with easy access to the lake....Read less.

What a cracking site. Excellent facilities in an excellent location. New toilet block first class. Not really anything bad to say about site, only thing was children running wild on scooters & bikes. Maybe some signs & something to slow them down round about toilet block and keep them off roads. Accident waiting to happen....Read less.

Stunning caravan & camping park which must be one of the best kept and friendliest places I have stayed. The new shower/toilet/washing block is a wonder to behold it also incorporates a well equipped games room not to mention private family bath/shower rooms which you can rent. Hillcroft is a beautiful place to stay and we will be back many times over the coming years....Read less.

We stayed for seven night's in what can only be called "A beautiful site", The pitche's were excellent on a slight incline but manageable big enough for our large tent and room to make a run for the dog. The staff were excellent very pleasant at book in and alway's polite around the site. Toilet.s and shower's were clean and tidy, hot water in shower's anytime of the day....Read less.

We stayed at Hillcroft Park for a much needed weekend away and a break from a hectic life. Friendly staff on arrival and would have been very approachable if we'd have needed anything. Lovely little shop with all the little things we'd inenvitably forgot but really needed. Plenty of space between the tents, with the grass being great quality so easy to put the tents up and down. We will definetly be back!...Read less.

Stayed as a large group (29 of us all together) in the family Wigwam Pods. The Pods were spacious and clean and the new wash facilities were outstanding. The play park on site for the children was a great facility as was the games room; however we were lucky with the weather so they enjoyed playing sports and activities together on the filed as well as our 10 minute walk into Pooley Bridge. We had a great weekend and hope to be back again soon....Read less.

Fantastic stay at this brilliant site. family pods are great, good size, clean and good size decking. new shower/ toilet facilities are amazing. will defiantly be returning later in the year.

keep up the great work....Read less.

We camped here for 2 nights last week. The site was clean and well maintained, particularly the new toilet block. Our children enjoyed the games room & play area. Ideal location just outside Pooley Bridge, it’s an easy walk down into the village. We will definitely be back....Read less.

We had a fabulous time at Hillcroft Park - everything was beautifully clean and well cared for.

The staff were very helpful and the facilities are in great condition

There are so many different types of accommodation - so there is something for everyone

We loved our cottage with the hot tub

We will certainly return...Read less.

The new toilet facilities on this site are excellent, as is the new childrens play area. Location wise its perfect lots of walks around this area, or the town with a number of good pubs is only 10 min walk away with a 4 yr old and 7 yr old in tow so perfect. My only comment is that I hope the owners maintain them and keep all the 'nooks and crannys' immaculate and cobwebs at bay to keep them in this way particularly over the heavy summer season, it would be a shame to see them worn and tired within a few years....Read less.

Had a fantastic weekend, the site is top rate and the newly built ablutions block something else the best I've had the pleasure to use.

Pooley Bridge is a fantastic little village 3 Bars/Pubs and a Bistro, it has a number of shops selling all you would need, and it's location is good for visiting other towns and villages.

I can highly recommend a visit to Pooley Bridge, and Hillcroft as your basecamp....Read less.

Since all of the touring pitches have been made hard standing there are no grassed areas within the pitch boundaries making it feel like you are pitched on a car park and it feels difficult to relax. not good for children or pets.

I apprecite this was done to prevent damage to pitches but surely a piece of grass per pitch could have been left for the comfort of customers...Read less.

This is our fifth stay at hillcroft and it never disappoints it is often difficult to maintain high standards however rather than slipping hillcroft exceeds the people are lovely and welcoming the bottle of wine at your lodge is a nice touch and the attention to detail is superb we as always loved our latest stay and went to stay at another lodge after our latest stay and although nice the difference to attention to detail is telling straight away. We like our walks the views are fantastic we love the lakes and blend in with relaxation and the odd pint or 2 of Cumberland ale hillcroft is the place to be and we love pooley bridge pubs a shop and lakeside what more do u want and hillcroft is excellent in making everything worthwhile....Read less.

We stayed at Hillcroft for 3 nights in a pod due to an issue with our campervan. The staff were extremely helpful and made our stay very relaxing from the start - the new shower/toilet block is amazing and the location of this site is superb in terms of visiting different areas of the lake district, we will definately be returning again soon, thank you so much :) xx...Read less.

Enjoyed a fabulous four nights at Hillcroft the site is beautifull couldnt fault the facillities showers and toilets were spotless plenty of room in shower cubicles staff were fantastic will definitely be back and recomend Hillcroft to anyone looking to stay in Lakes even the hill back up to pitch wasnt aproblem as the views were lovely if you stopped on the way up cant wait to return thank you for a lovely break ....Read less.

The staff at Hillcroft Park were very friendly and welcoming. Everything on site was tidy and respectable, especially the new shower blocks. The location of the site is perfectly located, the walk into the town was only 10 minutes away. Hillcroft Park is a perfect place to stay with family and friends. Highly recommend....Read less.

Stayed in a Tent with electric hookup. Had a fab time the sites new shower block was amazing the cleanliness was second to none. Liked the added extras of the outdoor freezer for ice blocks and the new games room was very good. Will be back soon. Thank you Hillcroft for a wonderful weekend....Read less.

We had a lovely stay and enjoyed walks around the surrounding area. Beautiful toilet block. If I had one complaint it is, like many sites, .....in the shower the partition between the shower and drying area not wide enough so anything on the floor in the drying area gets wet. Will definitely be back....Read less.

This is the second time we have stayed at Hillcroft Park and it wont be the last. Our pet friendly lodge was lovely with beautiful views. The staff on site are very friendly and extremely helpful, in our case they went above and beyond to assist us when our car was taken to a garage for repair and we also had some important documents to sign. We are looking forward to returning later this year....Read less.

Amazing value and a really beautiful place to stay. Would highly recommend to both families and couples looking for a relaxing break. Toilet and showers immaculate condition. Close to Pooley Bridge and a short drive to Keswick....Read less.

The quality of the park is beyond question. john and Jill Heath are dedicated to their business and ensuring guests have a problem free stay. Without doubt, the new toilet block is the best in Cumbria....Read less.

We stayed last weekend for a family get-together The reception staff were very welcoming , courteous and helpful. This set the tone for the whole weekend as everyone working at the site was equally so.

We stayed in our motorhome on a very spacious hardstanding pitch. Although the weather was hot we had ample shade from nearby trees as did the other pitches. In fact the whole site is very well set out with plenty of space. The facilities were of the highest standard and the shower block was luxurious. I have to say that given it was a weekend in summer, this has to be one of the quitest sites we have ever stayed in.

Our son and his family were in one of the static caravans. It was absolutely gorgeous, very clean, tastefully decorated and well kitted out.

There were only a couple of things we thought of that would have helped for us. We found difficulty in first locating our son's static. Having the numbers of the statics on a sign at the beginning of each road would make things easier. Also, the speed limit signs could be larger and more of them. There were some drivers not heeding the speed limit.

In conclusion, we all had a fabulous weekend at Hillcroft and will most definitely be booking again in the future....Read less.

Beautiful site A****** cleanliness and staff couldn’t be anymore more helpful but could do with a little cafe & bardo people could get a quick bite to eat and a ice cold drink because if you just wanted to stay on site that would be a bonus as sometimes people don’t want to go into town everyday some people just want to sit and relax.. the shop could do with stopping open a little later . The hill was a little bit hard to climb for older people with health issues in hot weather.But I would definitely return...Read less.

Excellent site well located for Pooley Bridge and Ullswater. 3 good pubs, bistro and great cafes. Immaculate new shower block, well cleaned and site spotless. Only issue we had was noisy neighbors till 2 in the morning, took the edge off the stay. However understand that new night staff will solve this problem. Overall would definitely recommend this site, owners very welcoming and friendly....Read less.

We stayed for only a weekend but wish it had been for longer. The shower block was pristine!! Cleanest and smartest by far! We walked down the hill from the campsite and went for lunch and a few drinks at one of the pubs in the village...only downside was the hike back up the hill afterwards....it was literally ‘breathtaking’! It certainly hasn’t put us off though...we will be back again 👍...Read less.

We had a wonderful 5 day’s at the holiday park. The lodge was very clean and fully equipped. The chilled bottle of wine on arrival was a lovely touch. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful. We took our little dachshund and so had doggy accommodation but their were no smells or signs of previous four legged visitors. Highley recommended, five stars ⭐️...Read less.

Brilliant and so well maintained . The site has been develped so well and respects the beauty of the lakes environment.

A good range of accommodation something for most people. We will be back thank you....Read less.

Hillcroft Park is a lovely place to stay, immaculate site, lovely washing facilities and the dog wash is just great! The staff are friendly and helpful. The only thing the park lacks is somewhere to eat and drink. There is of course lots of choice locally but if you have arrived with young children at tea time the park would benefit from a small cafe or pub so that those with young children could grab a bite to eat before it’s time for bed. That is the only thing I would say could improve the site, it is lovely!!!!...Read less.

We’ve been staying at Hillcroft for over 5 years now, it’s always delivered on exactly what we needed.

A nice, clean, well kept campsite with good facilities and great staff.

This year upon our arrival we were asked if we had seen the new shower block yet, it was being built last year when we visited. It was suggested we would be “satisfied with the facilities” by the member of staff (with a slight smirk on their face).

What we found was amazing, beautiful shower and wash facilities, a brand new games room and even a dog wash. Amazing... then we saw the private bathrooms!!! Huge showers, baths with jacuzzi functions, loads of space and a fantastic quality of finish... this was simply stunning, there’s no other word for it, the perfect environment to enjoy a long soak in after a good walk around the hills.

Well done Hillcroft, our favourite site to visit Just raised the bar, so so high!...Read less.

We stayed in a family pod for 2 nights due to weather forecast not being too good (usually bring a tent). The site is in a perfect location surrounded by beautiful countryside but only a 10 minute walk into Pooley Bridge with a good selection of pubs, cafes and shops. The park itself is very well looked after and very clean and tidy. The toilet and shower block were the best we have ever come across and we will definitely be back again, hopefully with a tent next time....Read less.

We visit at least once a year and always have a fabulous time . This year's new shower/toilet block is as plush as our own new bathroom. A well maintained site with friendly helpful staff in an excellent location , with easy access to the hills and a short walk to the lake. Some midges on an evening loud crows on a morning secure your rubbish from the crows....Read less.

Excellent Holiday Park with New Facilities.

The only down side we found was the steep hill to access site and Touring/Camping pitches. not so good for the clutch with a caravan in tow.

Only a 5 to 10 minute walk into the village which has Three Public Houses, Cafe/Coffee Shop, Restaurant and Shops. Just past the village is the Lake with Boating, Walking etc Fun for all the family....Read less.

Hillcroft Park is a lovely holiday destination if you want a quiet, relaxing holiday. Close to lovely walks, Pooley Bridge and the Ullswater Steamer.

This was our second visit and we have now booked our third. Love the pet friendly lodges....Read less.

We arrived at the park on a Friday evening and were greeted by warm and friendly staff who directed us to our Glamping Pod were we found it to be very clean and in a great position, we could park our vehicle right next to it so no need for carrying our equipment to far. The cleanliness of the showers were excellent as was the whole park we will be back there this year as soon as we can....Read less.

Recently updated, the site is superb as a place to stay for walking, or just relaxing.

The staff are extremely helpful and friendly and the site is kept very clean and tidy.

My only negative comments would be regarding the steep entrance area when arriving towing a caravan, it can put strain on the clutch!

Also the new shower block, it might benefit from bring heated. I have visited other sites that do this and it does help, especially in colder nights....Read less.

We have stayed at many campsites/pods etc in our time. However Hillcroft was most defiantly the cleanest and neatest we have had the pleasure of staying at. Fabulous showers/ bathroom facilities. And very well situated. Thank you, we will return!

...Read less.

On arrival - check in was quick and easy and the staff were very accommodating as I was lookingyo move to a pitch closer to my sisters pitch, and they offer me a pitch next to her tent!

Site - the campsite was lovely, very well kept and shower blocks were new, modern and immaculate. I was very impressed with the dogs shower which is a fantastic idea!

The only negative was that most of the camping pitches are on a slight hill, which wouldn’t put me off coming back to such a lovely well kept site!

...Read less.

Stayed at this site before, it's a lovely site ,the new shower block is amazing,, pitch size is good ,a nice walk in to the village is recommended, only thing that irritated us was the irresponsible dog owners , even though there is signs up saying dogs must be on lead and to pick dog muck up ,some were not picking dog mess up as we saw quite a bit,and the dogs were not on leads at all times, kids throwing balls for there dogs down camping area, some children don't like dogs ,...Read less.

It was our first time at Hillcroft Park and it was lovely. It was so peaceful. Owners and staff were very helpful. Toilet,shower facilities were excellent,very clean.Lots of lovely scenic views and walks. Not far from ullswater lake where you can go on a boat for a tour. Hoping to go back next year....Read less.

We had the good weather which always makes camping better, but the pitch was flat as requested. Ample room on the pitch chosen and had a friendly informative welcome. The new shower block is lovely but even the old one is more than adequate. Had a couple of inconsiderate fellow campers regarding noise, but nothing too bad. Lots of lovely walks nearby and well worth a visit....Read less.

This is probably one of the best site's we've ever taken our caravan to! The park itself is very pleasant, clean and tidy and the facilities are top-notch (nicer than in some hotels I've stayed in). The location itself, just outside of Pooley Bridge, is ideal for exploring the surrounding area and, as it's not far off the M6 motorway, very easy to get to compared to other locations in the Lake District. We will definitely be going back and would thoroughly recommend the site to anyone who is looking to holiday in that part of the world....Read less.

It's was nice, clean and tidy. The shower block was big and clean. The views from the campsite is lovely. It's only 5minutes walk away from pooley bridge. The only minor complaint is toilet kept running out toilet paper...Read less.

We stayed over the weekend at the end of half term in our motorhome and booked a hard standing pitch in Field B, in order to be near friends who were in a tent. Our boys were bike racing at Carlisle on the Sunday, hence the visit.

The weather was typically Lake District - it had rained a lot before arrival and rained on and off while we were there. This meant that the pitch we were booked in (38) had huge puddles in it, so we didn't put our awning up on the first night. We noticed that pitch 43 was vacant, so asked if we could move as it was further up the slope; the receptionist was happy to let us do so. Pitch 43 still developed puddles in the rain, but not as badly as 38.

Looking round the site, the super pitches in the Buttermere field we much better than in field B. I would strongly advise anyone with a motor home or caravan to consider the super pitches as they looked excellent. Hopefully the owners have plans to address the drainage issues on the field B hardstandings.

The new toilet block is well appointed and kept clean.

The site is well located for walking into Pooley Bridge.

We will return next year, assuming that there is a race in Carlisle again, but we will go for a super pitch next time...Read less.

Superb facilities

Peaceful haven with lovely staff

The cleanliness was incredible

Great from check in onwards

Wonderful walks all around

Don’t tell anyone else how idyllic it really is or Will be fully booked all summer !!

We only live nearby but it felt so restful and peaceful as if we miles away from any hustle or bustle !

...Read less.

We love walking in and around Pooley Bridge and Hillcroft is the perfect base for this. The shower block ( including the dog shower) is always spotlessly clean with powerful hairdryers that are free to use.

The hard standing pitches are huge and allow privacy when needed.

Would definitely recommend....Read less.

We have returned to HillCroft for the third year running. We was impressed with the amount of work that the site had undergone. The new facilities are amazing. We also hired the private bathroom which was really useful when taking a young family camping. Would recommend this site to anyone. Always a warm, friendly welcome and always helpful staff around the site....Read less.

i enjoyed my stay but would prefer super pitch to not be on loose rocks. The shower block is very nice and clean but i marked it down because both hair dryers didnt work on my stay. i used the dog wash but would like the option of dog shampoo sachets in a machine as this is an unexpected bonus and i dont think people would bring any with them .. i also dont think that there is any entertainment on site so had to mark down on that question aswell....Read less.

Having previously stayed at Park Foot nearby, we decided to try Hillcroft as we really love the area and Pooley village. The site is fantastic, much less hectic than Park Foot. The site is really clean. The toilet block is unreal, best i have seen in 10 years of touring. The kids games room is very modern and clean. The staff were really friendly. We will definitely return....Read less.

Hillcroft Park is a lovely campsite in a quiet area, washing facilities are 5*, staff very helpful, campsite spotless, children's areas great.

Downsides CROWS from 3am awful and allowing multiple families to camp together despite 11pm noise cut off noisy and outside till past 1am. Also allowed children to play ball games all day at back of our tent even though there are designated areas for ball games, so screeching and hitting tent all the time not relaxing at all...Read less.

As above there was not much I could fault, the Park is very clean, plenty of facilities, wash up area, play area, games room etc and a very good toilet block.

The only downside I have is that we were on hard standing, when it rained it did not drain at all, leaving big puddles. This was fine for the caravan but it soaked under the awning as the puddles grew, soaking the carpet.

That said the grass pitches seemed to drain very well.

Overal I would definitely recommend this park and will return myself....Read less.

Really impressed with cleanliness of park, facilities and area. Only issue we had was spacing of tents in field b.

we have a large family tent and were squeezed into a corner of the field with a different familys large tent and a medium sized tent in between, if we stood at the edge of our tent it was nearly within touching distance....Read less.

Really impressed with site cleanliness and facilities. Very tidy and well maintained.

Great introduction to camping. Fabulous location , great for Ullswater steamer and lovely village at Pooley Bridge....Read less.

Great site - even though it was a busy half term, there still felt a lot of space and it still seemed peaceful.

Wednesday Chip Van was a blessing (although it did take an hour waiting in the queue, it was well worth it!)...Read less.

Thoroughly enjoyed stay. Children’s play area and new toilet block excellent. Could possibly do woth an extra toilet block due to size of site and consider entrance and where routers could pull into upon arrival so not blocking the entrance....Read less.

First class site with first class facilities. New showers better than you would get in a hotel!!. Excellent location of the site , only a 5 minute walk away to Pooley Bridge which has excellent pubs and cafes. Overall great experience...Read less.

First time to the site and it was really exceptional in all ways. Just struggled to pull away at reception up the hill with the caravan on the back (bit steep) Apart from that everyone and everything was great....Read less.

We have stayed at hillcroft several times. The park is clean, quiet, lots of green areas and a great park for children. The location is beautiful and the new shower block is amazing. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Would recommend hillcroft to anyone who is looking for a quiet family friendly park....Read less.

We have been many times to hillcroft park and are always made very welcome. The new toilet facilities are the best we have ever seen. Five star.

Pooly Bridge is a lovely village with great pubs and good food....Read less.

We enjoyed our third visit to Hillcroft during the bank holiday weekend. The lodge (Ullswater 5) is fabulous, pet friendly, very clean, modern and comfortable. We love this lodge because it looks out into the park/play field which is perfect for us to watch the kids while enjoying a g&t on the decking!!!👍

The park is perfect walking distance into Pooley Bridge, where there is everything you need( shop, ice cream, cafe, pub).

We would certainly recommend this site to others, it is a fabulous clean, quiet, relaxing site!!...Read less.

Lovely site it was our 2nd visit , nice new toilet block. Park for children and games room for teenagers, very little for younger ones.

Could do with more stock in shop to keep you on the park. Grey waste not really clearly signed unless I missed sign....Read less.

This is a beautiful site which is large but very peaceful. The kids love the park and the new shower block is absolutely amazing. That was the only thing that previously let the site down. The staff are extremely pleasant and helpful and the park is kept in immaculate condition. Already booked our pitch for twice next year. Can’t recommend enough....Read less.

Everything about this campsite is fantastic. The relaxed atmosphere was great and the facilities were the best we have had. It was that good we booked for the August bank holiday whilst we were there....Read less.

We love hillcroft because it is so clean and tidy also because there is no bars on site so no noise or rowdiness at night. We met the new staff Dawn and Mark (Hope I got there names right) who took time out for a chat and were so friendly we wish them well in there new post.We have returned to hillcroft several times a year and hope to continue to do so, I am bringing my sister down next week for her first time at the lakes I have told her so much about hillcroft and I know she won't be disappointed with the site and the beautiful lake district....Read less.

What a wonderful stay at hill croft

The park is so clean and well maintained

We loved our little camping pod and we loved how close we were to Pooley Bridge

We will return soon and have already recommended to friends and family...Read less.

Hillcroft is only a couple of hours drive for us and it is well worth the effort. We use Hillcroft for its location, facilities and friendliness. We hire a Pod as they are really comfy cozy and their location on the site is perfect. The welfare facilities are second to none, the park is perfectly manicured and quiet, which all helps to ensure you enjoy your stay and relax. The main reason we come to Hillcroft is to chill out, which we do very successful. Ten minutes walk and you are in Pooley Bridge which is a great place for food and a few beers. What more does anyone need....Read less.

Just had a lovely 3 night stay booked in very last min, I checked in and was took straight to my accommodation when the lady opened the door i was stunned how beautiful and immaculately clean it was and even a box of biscuit and milk in the fridge, just prefect....Read less.

Pretty much a perfect site for us as literally 5 mins walk into Pooley Bridge which has plenty of good pubs serving good food. 10 min walk to ullswater steamer. Also a great base for fell walking from. The site itself is immaculate. The toilets and showers are the best we've been in ...... even had 'countryside' sound track playing!! Birds chirping away while you shower ... with the odd baa and moo!! Loved it! Most important though, ALL the staff where very friendly and we even got to stay on a little later in the day for no extra charge (probably because it wasn't too busy) which was nice. We are planning our next visit there as I write....Read less.

Stayed at Hillcroft for two nights. Park lovely and clean and check in was straight forward. Within walking distance to Pooley Bridge. Only negative comment was we Couldn't find where to plug in electric cable on pitch 20. It was behind water and we needed an extension cable which we hired from reception for a £25 deposit. Other than that we had a lovely break and booked to go back in August....Read less.

We have stayed at Hillcroft Park on two occasions and both times we have had an excellent lodge. The staff in Reception are very friendly and welcoming and the Park is very clean and tidy. The location is ideal, a five minute walk to the village, pubs, cafes and shops and Ullswater. We thoroughly recommend this Park and will be returning again soon....Read less.

First time staying here , will defenately come back. Very attentive and friendly staff, toilet block excellent, spotless. Pitches for tourers really good size.Looked a good park for kids. Price reasonable.within walking distance to Town.Only disadvantage is its on a hill for walking back from town, maybe not so good for older people.....Read less.

Absolutely fabulous place to stop for one night or for many more, superb location and a first class no hassle sight, and it must have by far, the best toilet, shower block of any site in the country, to all involved just keep doing what you do, thanks for a lovely stopover. Tony & Jeanette....Read less.

Stayed at Hillcroft for a long weekend. Can’t fault the site at all. All facilities are amazing. Have booked to return to spend our wedding anniversary later on in the year. Considering a seasonal pitch if one comes available as it is wonderfully peaceful and would be great to charge our batteries at the end of a kind week. Thanks to all everyone there See you soon...Read less.

We had a look around the site when it was closed and decided to splash out on a service pitch due to the lovely views you would have from the lounge of your caravan. We asked if we could go on the pitch nose first to face the views and the lady behind reception said no you have to back on the pitch which ment the back of your unit would be facing the views, so we booked a pitch opposite. On arrival we went to reception and the lady behind the counter was on the phone and didn't make any eye contact with us whatsoever. We appeared to be unnoticed for a whole 10 minutes until another lady came in and booked us in. When we got to the pitch we had booked we noticed the caravans behind us above us were all facing forward looking at the views. As you can imagine we were not very happy about this as we were told we couldn't do that. So off to reception we went and complained asking why those caravans were facing the views and we couldn't. She said those pitches were seasonal but they shouldn't be like that and they will be empty but when the people return they will be told to turn them round so the backs of their caravans are facing forward to the views. So we went back and set up and settled down but looking on their website we noticed the same two caravans that were facing out to the view behind us were in the same position on the website photo, so the lady wasn't being at all truthful and two days before we left one of the seasonal occupants arrived and the caravan was not turned around. So does this mean that rules for seasonals are different than for those that are touring? It seems silly having pitches overlooking a lovely view and having to put the back end of your caravan looking out to it so you're facing the caravans over the road. It's like a warden at a site with a sea view saying that you can't face it you have to position the back of your caravan towards it. This is the only reason why we won't be going back....Read less.

This is a fantastic place, it is a good base to be at, only a 10 minute walk into poorly bridge and about 6 miles to Penrith, the new toilet block is amazing like being at a hotel. They have a freezer outside to re-freeze your ice packs which is an added bonus, the site was very tidy and all the staff are very friendly and always about on the site, I would definitely recommend this site and we will defiantly be back...Read less.

Site is fantastic and would recommend to others. Unfortunately the hard standing pitch flooded in parts BUT once mentioned to staff they did their upmost to rectify the problem by laying extra gravel on the pitch also offered to help us move to a new pitch if we wanted to. Having only two nights left of our stay we declined the offer to move. The warden Mark (nice bloke) was very helpful and apologised for the unfortunate flooding. New toilet block better than some 5 star hotels we’ve stayed in. Will definitely return....Read less.

Hillcroft is one of the very best destinations to stay the park itself is extremely well maintained and cared for. The new shower blocks are fabulous. It’s location is ideal to explore the Lake District and there is much to access within a short walking distance....Read less.

Great campsite, great location and we loved the new shower block area. We are returning in July with more friends and can't wait to see what you've do with the games room.

Thanks for an excellent stay!!...Read less.

We loved this campsite. Close to Pooley Bridge (5 minutes walk) fantastic views across Ullswater, and staff friendly and very smiley! Large pitches at no extra cost and first class showers and toilets. We had no children with us and all the other campers did but got to say by 10:30 the site was as quiet as a mouse. Would definitely return and would recommend to everyone fantastic place!...Read less.

What a beautiful place!

Absolutely immaculate with modern facilities, the children’s park has great apparatus and it’s a short walk into the village. The staff were friendly and approached us by name when we were pitching the tent, they were very helpful and chatted everyday.

The kids loved it and didn’t want to leave we will definitely be returning soon.

Big thumbs up Hillcroft Park 👍...Read less.

I have been coming to hillcroft for four years and each trip has been great. The new toilets are lovely the new all serviced pitches have very roomy. All staff are friendly and helpful. Can't wait for next visit...Read less.

This was a last minute booking on a hard standing touring pitch. We were at the rear of the site with excellent views and a spacious pitch. Excellent facilities all round, only minor gripe over a very busy bank holiday was running out of toilet paper in the cubicle s....Read less.

I was so impressed with this site. The pitches were a great size and the new facilities are out of this world. Even though busy over a bank holiday it was bearable, I usually prefer adult only sites but the kids were not an issue. I don’t like lively sites with lots of people and noise, during the week it was nice and peaceful at night and felt safe. Can’t wait to visit again, in fact think I want to sell my house and move into one of the new lodges/static homes, lol...Read less.

High quality site with all the facilities. Well laid out and caters for all types of holiday from tents to holiday homes. The activities seem good although we visited in April so not all were being used. Walking distance of Pooley Bridge and the Ullswater steamer quayside. Also close to Sharrow Bay hotel which has good restaurant and does great afternoon teas with fabulous views over Ullswater.

Access at entrance to site is much too narrow and could dangerous due to abrupt incline from road, however it seems as though this issue may be in the process of being addressed....Read less.

A fantastic site just a few miles from the M6. Great staff and facilities, especially the new toilet block.

Would highly recommend this site as there's so much to see around the area and the site is fantastic. We'll go back again....Read less.

We had a brilliant time and would definitely go back the site was friendly quiet and had everything we needed . But please change the silly bird and dog barking noises in the toilets soft music would be much nicer....Read less.

We've been staying at Hillcroft for a number of years now and are always impressed by how friendly and helpful the staff are and the care that they take over the site. This year though things were even better with the opening of the new toilet and shower block. I've stayed in many hotels where the facilities are not of such high quality and so well cleaned....Read less.

From our arrival we received a warm welcome and called up in advance to see if we could check in early and they agreed this would be fine. The staff were full of information and able to answer any questions we had about the campsite and surrounding area. The views were sensational and the campsite itself is very clean and well maintained. The new washrooms are lovely and the showers are very powerful, just what you need after a day walking. Would definitely return and recommend! Thanks for a lovely stay....Read less.

We have stayed here several times, we liked it when you just parked up in the field on what is a working farm, it was a bit of a hike to the toilet block. However, the improvements are amazing. Last season saw the opening of the super pitches, they are huge and have water and drainage, great to not have to cart along the barrel etc. The new toilet block was under construction. So we were eager to try the new toilet block this season and weren’t disappointed. It’s modern, spacious with good showers and loved the unique sound effects. Also, there are extra super pitches and lots of pitches in the original field now have hard standing. It never feels overcrowded and is a fantastic base if you like walking. After once staying on another site in the area we are happy to pay the extra....Read less.

We have stayed at many campsites in Cumbria and Scotland and this is one of the best. Beautiful location with stunning views over Ullswater and the best washroom facilities imaginable for a campsite. Planning to return this week....Read less.

The pods were great but there needs to be a blind put on the small window as the light shines in right on your face in the morning. I can imagine this being very annoying in the summer months! Other than that the site is brilliant with outstanding toilet block/facilities. We came with our 2 boys and another couple with 2 boys. They had great fun playing in the playground and on the grass area in front of the pods. Would definitely recommend!...Read less.

Excellent site and location.

The new shower and loo block is fabulous, a spot of luxury, much appreciated whilst camping in a tent!

Very well maintained site.

My only concern is that it may be busy and booked up as the weather improves due to it being so good!

This is the second time we have stayed at Hill Croft Park and we really enjoyed it. We stay here as we like that the pubs and shops are near by and all within walking distance. The Grounds of the park are well kept and the staff are always friendly and helpful.

This time we brought our trailer tent which was a bad idea given the poor weather. After 4 hours of trying to set it up in the snow we gave up.

When I called reception, they offered us a family pod. We felt this was very kind and nothing was too much trouble. We had the keys to the pod within 5 minutes. The pod was next to the toilets and we like how near the toilets are to all of the campers. The toilets and showers were amazing and very warm.

We were a little disappointed that there was not a games room and we feel the park would benefit from a small pub/entertainment area.

We are planning to stay again next year with friends.

Thank you

Stayed in a glamping pod with my 2 kids. It was lovely. They enjoyed the park that's right behind the pods and the fact every pod is allowed it's own bbq. The surrounding area is beautiful and the members of staff are very friendly....Read less.

Me and my partner arrived at Hilcroft and we were kindly welcomed by the reception staff, I liked how there was no faffing on and it was straight forward with a good laugh. We were guided well to our pod. When we arrived at our pod it was great. Exactly what we expected! We had a lovely walk down to poorly Bridge nd had a lovely meal in the inn which couldn’t have been better!! We wish we could’ve stayed longer as we felt so relaxed! We want to visit again hopefully in a caravan !...Read less.

I come here twice a year every year and it’s superb. This year the new shower facilities have been opened and it’s like the Hilton. Spared no expense and it really makes a difference. Staff always lovely and helpful and the site is immaculate....Read less.

This was my first ever caravan experience and I couldn’t have done it in a better place! The facilities were brand new, modern and spotless. The park itself is large and impressive with friendly and helpful staff. Bumping in to Jonny Vegas on site was a lovely bonus. I will definitely be back and will heartily recommend this beautiful site....Read less.

Hillcroft park is a brilliant place to spend quality time away on holiday, the location is absolutely brilliant and the way the staff work shows how committed they are in giving a great experience to there guests, we will definitely be back...Read less.

Third time at Hillcroft camping and once again fantastic. We used the new washing facilities which are really impressive after being opened by Johnny Vegas . I would recommend this site to anybody and will definitely be returning this year....Read less.

This is a beautiful, well presented park in an absolutely stunning location. The park is immaculate with great facilities and superb accommodation. We stayed in the Aspen Lodge and it was excellent and our friends, who stayed in one of the cottages, were equally impressed (they also had a hot tub with beautiful view our across the lake). Well recommended and we will certainly be returning....Read less.

The park was recommended to us so we decided to give it a go, we were more than satisfied and will definitely be back. Very easy to get to, the staff were so friendly, very clean and well kept park. Surrounding area also good very friendly people and plenty of watering holes where dogs are very welcome. Pooled Bridge is a very popular village and it is easy to see why. Definitely worth a visit....Read less.

We have been visiting Hillcroft Park regularly for the past 2 years and always enjoy our stay there.

Staff are very friendly and know us by name now which makes you feel at home.

The new shower block is pure luxury, however we didn't need to use them a we hired one of the private bathrooms. The bathroom was spectacular and gave our camping stay a touch of luxury. I will definitely be hiring the bathroom again. Looking forward to visiting again soon....Read less.

I've been coming to this site for 5 years and absolutely love it here.. its so close to the beautiful little village of Pooley bridge only a 10 minute walk.. the new fully serviced pitches are exceptional value and the views are stunning.. the new toilet facilities are stunning.. we will be back again in June as usual...Read less.

Camped here for 4 nights at Easter and have been many times before , great location , clean park , excellent showers, good park for kids and they allow fired at night , definitely recommend to anyone and will return again...Read less.

We had a fantastic time at Hillcroft. The site is lovely - very clean and with amazing views. The staff were friendly and incredibly helpful. The site is only a 5 minute walk from the village and is also close to Ullswater. We will definitely return....Read less.

We stayed in mid March for 3 days ,this is a great site, the shower block was just being finished off when we where there, too a very high standard, I think we were one of the first to use it. I would certainly recommend this site, we will definitely return....Read less.

From arrival to departure our experience at Hillcroft as been absolutely positive. Highly recommend to try this beautiful very well situated & extremely clean facilities. Obviously slot of hard work on the new shower/laundry facilities. The pitches are a very good size with fantastic views.

Probably the only suggestion I would make is maybe a helping hand could be on offer or available incase of difficultly in pitching the caravan. My husband recently had a back operation & unfortunately our motor movers were not working , (& we didn’t want to cancel the weekend planned at Hillcroft with the part not arriving in time to fix MM)

On other local sites at Keswick which we frequent they always send a couple of their worked to see if any help is need to pitch the caravan , maybe something to think about at Hillcroft . Pooley Bridge is a absolutely hidden gem, with beautiful walks to quiet a good selection of eating/drinking establishments, along with the lovely gift shops. Very friendly people. Definitely on our return list . Thank you and wishing you all a successful season at Pooley Bridge.

Our new touring caravan was collected on 23/3/2017 with Hillcroft Park being the ideal first trip. The owners of the park offer a superb personal service and are supported by a first class team. The park has a wonderful atmosphere and facilities are great. Views from the elevated 'super, pitch are second to none. The newly completed toilet and washroom building is of a standard normally only found in high quality hotels and will be further enhanced by almost completed development of the new building to provide additional guest facilities

We will be back without question and our only worry is that we have started at the top and other sites we visit may fall short of Hillcroft....Read less.

Touring pitches were excellent with hard standing and a great view. Quick 5 min walk into Pooley Bridge and 2 minutes to Askham Fell. Wash room block is brand new and very clean. We will be back although I would imagine it gets busy in holidays....Read less.

Stayed 2 nights in a family pod. Site staff were very friendly and helpful, and the park facilities are first class. The new shower / toilet block is excellent, even has a dog shower!! (which was a blessing after a day on the fells!).

Easy access to Pooley Bridge village, lake and mountains. I would certainly visit again, and recommend this site to others....Read less.

We stayed in a pod for a 4 nights it was absolutely gorgeous and really cute just what we wanted! Was a bale to fit a massive two bed air bed in with a table and suitcase and cooking supplies and food and there was a little area where we could put our chairs. It was a beautiful area and everyone was ever so friendly the staff and the other people staying. We didn’t want to leave we will 100% come back and stay longer!!...Read less.

We booked to stay here on a camping pitch at the beginning of November, so needed electricity.

On arrival we saw the camping pods and decided to see if we could upgrade to one as it was really cold and raining. The very friendly staff did this for us with no problem whatsoever.

We had a great stay with only the one downside, it being that I don't think the heater was working very well as , even tho I know it was a very cold night , it didn't seem to make much difference to the temperature inside , despite it being on all night. As it was very late when we got back to the pod after our night out we didn't have chance to say anything about it. But if you are reading this , it was pod 8

Overall we had a great stay and we would definitely come back

Thank you for your help
