My partner is 6ft7 (202cm) and is often uncomfortable glamping but this was really spacious and roomy and well laid out! Amenities were great, bed was comfy, great views of stars and ideal location.

Company information

Family owned Lake District accommodation since 1958. At the Ullswater Holiday Park, we specialise in a friendly welcome, practical family facilities and a range of accommodation to suit all needs. Our family has been here since 1958 and our park has plenty of space combining a sheltered position beneath Cumbrian fells with excellent access to the nearby shores and waters of Ullswater. Camping in Ullswater has never been so good. We have a number of cottages for hire on the park itself, but the Hidden Place is our rural retreat situated half a mile off-site down a country lane.

Neighbourhood information

For walkers, cyclists and tourists, Ullswater Holiday Park is well placed for exploring the Lake District National Park and most of Cumbria. The Park backs on to the fells, with the Helvellyn range, Raise and the Dodds behind us and the High Street Ridge and Howtown across the lake. These fells offer walkers plenty of choice, from strenuous climbs to lakeside rambles, and Wainwright’s Northern and Eastern Fells are just a short drive away. The regular “Ullswater Steamers” makes access to other points on the lake much easier. These boats carry passengers between Glenridding, Pooley Bridge and Howtown throughout the year and the service opens up even more walks as well as some of the best views from The staff in local outdoor shops and information centres are always pleased to advise on equipment, hill weather and suitable routes for all abilities. The Lake District centres of Ambleside, Windermere, Keswick and Caldbeck are easy excursions from the Park. Nearby attractions include the gardens at Dalemain, The Rheged Visitors Centre, the National Trust walks at Aira Force waterfalls and the Theatre by the Lake situated at Keswick.
