Gillside Caravan Park, known locally as Gillside Farm Campsite, sits on the edge of Glenridding 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 offers around 60 pitches for tents and caravans, including spaces for tourers with electric hook-up, as well as bunkhouse accommodation and holiday homes.

The site is well placed for walkers, sitting at the start of the main path up Helvellyn from Glenridding, with Ullswater's sailing and swimming close by. Facilities include hot showers, a toilet block with hot and cold water, washing-up sinks, and a laundry.

Fresh milk and eggs are available from the farmhouse, and a breakfast van operates on weekend mornings. Pets are welcome. The village of Glenridding, with shops, cafes, pubs, and a National Park information centre, is a short walk away.
