The most fantastic Campsite in the World. Whether driving here over Hardknott Pass, via Muncaster…read moreCastle or from Western Lakes - it is beautiful. As you drive onto the campsite there are sacks of logs for you to buy - because here you can actually have a proper campfire(in the allocated fire circles. The site is a couple of large fields, a pond with a small kiddies playing area, a well maintained shower block and nothing much else. Set in the most idyllic out of the way place (although theres a couple of small pubs a short walk away). I live about 15 miles from here, and we often pack our tents after work and pop down here to spend the night chatting and relaxing round a campfire. Brilliant

They also sell all of the little gadgets that you would need to go waking in the lake district and in this area it is best to be prepared. You can get everything from your walking sticks to a gps here. They do sometimes have sales on the gps systems but normally they are more expensive that elsewhere. They have a good range of rucksacks of all sizes. The footwear that they sell is quite decent but pricey for what you get and nothing that you cant get in other outdoor shops in the area

This is a really good, if a bit basic, campsite. The best parts of this campsite are the location…read moreand the price. The site is situated right on lake ullswater with amazing views out across the lake. It is also excellent value, costing around $20 for two people, a tent and a car. There are a few fields within the site so that familys, young groups and so on can be seperate so as the keep disruption to a minimum. The facilties are basic but adequate with toilets, showers and a small shop. There is also the oppurtunity to hire out boats/canoes for a few hours out on the lake. It can get a little busy out in the water though.

After sales service is excellent. I recently had difficulty fitting newly purchased microspikes to my boots. I emailed the shop and in spitee of lockdown, Mr Rathbone immediately contacted me with helpful fitting advice and offered to change them if I still had difficulty. Thankfully, the help and advice I received did the trick. I highly recommend Rathbones to all fellwalkers or others seeking outdoor gear. Ps: The shop's very dog friendly

Park Foot caravan and camp site is a BIG place that spreads out over many fields and areas…read more In the peak season it gets really busy and there is as many people here than in an average town so if it's a peaceful type of break you are looking for then this site may not suit you as the more busy it gets the more nosier it becomes. The club house also gets busy and there is a takeaway that suits some. For campers you don't get an allocated pitch but they tell you which field to pitch in and if you are unlucky it may be one of the top fields that are on some heck of a slope. If its beer drinking, party going enjoyable trip you are looking at then this will probably suit you. Always review these sites before booking so you have an idea on what you are going to. The shower and toilet facilities here are good so at least that is something.

Been booked into this site 3 times now as come down with a yearly group booking, unfortunately this…read moreyear was a bit disappointed that our group was being charged a deposit for noise disturbance when in previous years we have never had any problems and we are supposed to have had our own private area on the campsite. However this year after being told the area we had booked was for our group only, we turn up to find other campers in our area . Then families with small children turn up who then end up being the ones causing all the disturbance and being reckless around our vehicles. Also another downside this year was the amount of flies in the restaurant area and on the food that was waiting in the hot plate. And the service was rather slow this time round as well with waits of up to 45 mins for breakfast when the place was empty.
