Gillside Farm Campsite sits on the edge of Glenridding village in the Lake District, nestled at the foot of Helvellyn beside Ullswater.

The farm has been worked by the Lightfoot family for over 60 years, and the campsite accommodates up to 60 pitches for tents, tourers, and caravans, with electric hook-up available. A bunkhouse sleeping 20 provides an option for groups.

The site is open from March to mid-November. Facilities include hot showers, washing-up sinks, and a laundry. The farm supplies fresh milk and eggs, and a breakfast van operates on weekend mornings. Pets are welcome.

The location is particularly well suited to walkers, as the main path up Helvellyn departs directly from the site. Ullswater, a short walk away, offers sailing and swimming, while Glenridding village provides cafes, pubs, restaurants, and outdoor gear shops.
