Gillside Camping and Caravan Park Ullswater is the ideal base for guests who want to get away from it all, resting on a peaceful Lakeland farm that serves as an excellent base for uncovering the natural scenery and attractions in the renowned Lake District National Park. The farm rests in the care of the friendly Lightfoot family, who farmed these lands for over 60 years. Guests can savour the relaxing ambience from a serene location at the foot of the Helvellyn, next to the shimmering Ullswaterm, on the fringes of the Lake District village of Glenridding. Not only are campers tucked away amid the lush landscape of the national park, a variety of open-air pursuits. Gillside Camping is the perfect spot for walking up Helvellyn, located at the beginning of the main path from Glenridding. Watersport enthusiasts will enjoy the array of activities on offer at Ullswater, a hotspot for water-based fun ranging from swimming to sailing. The nearby village has a good selection of general food stores, shops, restaurants, pubs and cafes. There are an estimated 60 pitches set on grass and hardstanding with optional electric meters for tents and touring vehicles. Guests who prefer to travel light can hire a comfortable and modern static holiday home equipped with a range of mod cons for a relaxing escape. Pets are welcome.
