Set on the shores of Ullswater, Waterside House Campsite provides great views of this magnificent and classic Lake District scene. You can either bring your own tent, bring a motorhome, or stay in one of the Tipis by the lake sure. (Sorry, no caravans).

Waterside House is still a working farm. Depending on the time of year you visit, you may see lamps, sheep being dipped, or young calves in the barn near the campsite shop.

As well as camping, you can also take advantage of being next to Ullswater, and hire rowing boats or Canadian Canoes.

Our Review

We stayed at Waterside House Campsite on a busy May Bank Holiday in 2015.

And yes, the campsite was very busy. But then again, so is every campsite in the Lake District during the May Bank Holidays!

We also felt that the peak season prices were a bit high. But again, this is the Lake District, which is extremely popular.

The location was absolutely stunning.

Ullswater may not be as visited as Windermere, but it is a beautiful lake. And not being as crowed, is all the better for it.

A short stroll from the campsite is Pooley Bridge. We found a good family-friendly pub there that served good meals.

While we stayed at Waterside House we had a go at Ghyll Scrambling with Distant Horizons. They picked us up right from the campsite.

If you do decide to stay here, we thoroughly recommend that you consider giving this a go.
