 Gorgeous views all around the campsite were what initially drew us towards this campsite. Oh, and the divine flapjack that is homemade in the tea rooms!
We visited the campsite over the August Bank Holiday weekend, so it was inevitably busy! As others have mentioned, there are only two showers. But people seem to stagger their showering so there is normally a quick queue, even at this busy time! Just beware that when the loo roll runs out, the stock doesn't get replenished until the following morning, so I suggest taking your own.
Our pitch was on a flat-ish area of grass, but it seemed that ours was one of the better ones. It did get quite frustrating at times!

We arrived on the Sat and the site was full but when we returned on the Sun it was empty and it remained that way through the wind and rain to the following Fri when once again it was absolutely packed.
The toilet block is fine, always loo roll and queues for the two hot showers were never too long. Washing up facilities were fine too. Bins were emptied regularly but filled quickly and were often raided at night by badgers and foxes.
The views are amazing and the opportunity to barbeque on the lakeside is just great.
The owners have a no car movement policy after 10.30pm so if you're planning a trip to the pub you should walk. Also, the track that leads to the campsite might put some people off. I wouldn't recommend it if you have a large, expensive car that you polish lovingly and are very proud of!
A campsite that I will be returning to in Sep for sure.

Would recommend. Small and great views although slopey in places as others have said. It was packed tent to tent when we went! Has its own cafe and only 4.50 pppn this year, plus 2.00 per car per night. Only two showers in female block, but they're free and hot! Also has a covered sink area with hot water for washing up, and washing machines. About a 12 mile circuit to go up Helvellyn from here, and Glenridding with cafes and boating a short walk away.

My husband and I came across this campsite by chance, we were originally looking for another campsite. We were driving along when we saw this site form the other side of the river the view beckoned us to visit. We are very glad we investigated as this is a lovely little campsite with a breath taking view of the Ullswater lake. The campsite is a little slopey in places so be prepared to adjust your sleeping positions so you do not roll out of your tent.
There is plenty of water activities not far from the site at reasonable prices, and lots of little places to visit. Do not forget to visit the little waterfalls not far from patterdale.

Although we generally like small farm sites this site left alot to be desired. The toilet block was not cleaned in the two days that we stayed and was very dirty. Over the weekend the site became very crowded and we eventually left early and went home! The one good point was the lakeside location and the views. I just feel that there should have been more of a limit on the number of people on site. As we packed up, the campers next door also decided to leave.

I really liked this site. It felt like it had a bit more character than some others that we saw around Ullswater that were either a flat field or one with a bar and shop, etc.
It's overlooking the end of the Lake and is definately scenic!
It's also a short walk to a few local pubs - both serving good tucker!!
It's on a bit of a slope and we got a space that was a bit slopey and I kept rolling into my partner but I liked that there wasn't pitches or designated spaces - just pitch wherever you want.
Don't forget your toilet roll!! We had got over reliant on campsites supplying them and were soon reminded that no good camper should arrive without loo roll.
A downside was that although the other campers were nice and friendly - advising us about parking on the grass in case it rains - there was a tent with some lads in it who had had way too much to drink and were quite noisy and annoying just after 11 - I presume coming back from the pub. It would be better if it were a family /couples / no single sex groups site.
Would I go back? Yes definately.

A great site. Fabulous views of the lake, free hot showers and you can order a cooked breakfast to give you the stamina to tackle Helvellyn!
