About the site

Set in the Lake District, this peaceful countryside escape has easy access to outdoor activities and walking routes. A short ten minute stroll leads to the charming village of Pooley Bridge, with a pub, cafe, and restaurant. Ullswater is a 20 minute walk away, offering boat hire and a range of watersports at Ullswater Wake and Surf, including paddleboarding, kayaking, wakesurfing, and more! Angle Tarn Camping Field features electric grass pitches for tents, set among the glamping pods. Crummock Water is situated beside the facilities block, with hardstanding pitches that all include electric hook ups. Five of these also have water, and some have views across the lake. At the top of the site, Buttermere Touring Field offers five fully serviced hardstanding pitches, complete with electric hook ups, water, grey waste, and space to set up a table and chairs.
