About Hillcroft Park
It's easy to see why Wordsworth waxed lyrical about Ullswater—many still consider it Britain's prettiest lake—and Hillcroft Park sits just steps from its celebrated banks. This modern, landscaped site offers spacious pitches for tourers and motorhomes alongside cosy camping pods that sleep up to four, each with its own little balcony framing those gorgeous Cumbrian views. Facilities hit all the right notes: spotless, contemporary shower blocks, a well-stocked licensed shop, launderette, drying room, and WiFi to keep you connected when you fancy it.
Families appreciate the huge play area and animal enclosures, while the friendly, helpful staff earn consistent praise for going the extra mile. Tail-waggers are welcome, too. Base yourself here to unwind among the fells or strike out for nearby watersports and Lake District trails—Hillcroft makes an ideal, relaxed launchpad for exploring this corner of Cumbria.

What visitors say
This site is great! The facilities are very good, cleaned constantly! Brilliant for families and groups. Our children, aged 6 & 9 loved the park and the freedom they had whilst staying here. They made friends, played for hours keeping entertained and particularly loved the outdoor free dishwasher (an unexpected novelty!). The camper van pitches are spacious and well set out, the pods are gorgeous with a lovely spacious green pitch. The views and sunsets were gorgeous. Thank you!! We will be back xx

Stunning campsite and facilities, we were so impressed we booked an extra night whilst there. Staff clearly work hard to keep standards high and it shows! Facilities block is best we have used being modern and spotless. This is a big site offering various accommodation all of which looked excellent. We booked a motorhome pitch which was immaculate with plenty of space. Only downside for us was that WiFi is an extra charge and we felt for the pitch price should be included. That said, we have paid more for far worse sites! Good location being an easy, short walk into Pooley Bridge with several pubs/restaurants, a boat trip and bus service. Will definately be back to stay at Hillcroft when in the area.
