Waterside House Camp Site

Waterside House Campsite sits on the northern shores of Ullswater at the foot of Barton Fell, in the English Lake District. A family-run operation for five generations, it occupies a working farm whose farmhouse dates to 1694.

The site accommodates tents, campervans, motorhomes, and caravans, and offers glamping pods, bell tents, and tipis in a separate lakeside area.

Pitches vary from standard grass to premium lakeside positions with electric hook-ups and picnic benches, all enjoying views across Ullswater.

The pretty village of Pooley Bridge, with shops, cafes, and inns, lies about a mile away via road or a lakeshore footpath. The site is well placed for walking, mountain biking, sailing, fishing, and paddleboarding.

The campsite maintains a quiet, family-friendly atmosphere with a strict noise curfew and a policy against unsanctioned group bookings.
