The Quiet Site
About
The Quiet Site is a family‑run, award‑winning holiday park that has been welcoming visitors to Ullswater for over 50 years. Nestled in the heart of the Lake District, it offers a diverse range of sustainable glamping options – from cosy Glamping Burrows, Gingerbread Houses and Glamping Cabins to self‑catering holiday cottages – alongside traditional camping and touring pitches. The park prides itself on carbon‑neutral operations, using biomass and solar heating, and boasts a zero‑waste shop, a historic 17th‑century bar, a wood‑fired takeaway and free, filtered water at the Camper’s Kitchen. With fast Wi‑Fi, electric car charging points, a spacious meeting room and accessible facilities, guests can relax in a green, inclusive environment. Its prime location on the Ullswater Way makes it a perfect base for walks to Aira Force, the Ullswater Steamers, Helvellyn and other nearby attractions. The Quiet Site consistently wins top industry accolades – including AA Sustainable Park of the Year 2026, a Visit England Silver Award 2020, and a King’s Award for Enterprise – underscoring its commitment to environmental stewardship and quality hospitality.
