Walk the Ulsway footpath. It starts from the site gate. You’ll follow the shore of Ullswater lake. It’s a two-for-one special: exercise and jaw-dropping views.

Take the Ullswater steamer. It’s a century-old boat. You can ride it to places like Glenridding. Just don’t miss the last sailing back. That’s a long, dark walk.
Visit the Dockray Village Hall. It’s not glamorous. But on certain nights, they have a pop-up pub. Expect sticky floors and excellent local gossip.
For food, try the Royal Hotel in Dockray. It’s a two-minute walk. Their fish and chips are legendary. Order the sticky toffee pudding. You’ll thank me later.
The funny side of camping here
The shower block is surprisingly good. It’s a small miracle. Hot water without the angst. No tokens, no coins, just proper warmth.
The warden is often a character. Think friendly, but firm. They’ll tell you exactly where to park. And they’ll know if you’ve been naughty with a generator.
Generators? Banned. The silence is enforced. If you need a hairdryer, you’re out of luck. Embrace the unwashed look. It’s a holiday, right?
You’ll see lots of campervans. The tiny, vintage kind. They look like adorable metal snails. You’ll want to hug one.
