Perfect location to pitch a tent after climbing the nearby scafell pike. Beautiful view from the campsite, plenty of space between pitches, makes the most of being in a rural part of the Lake District. Bruce and Sandy were super helpful, would happily return and stay again.

We stayed just a night here after climbing Scafell Pike. The couple running the site are so helpful. The site is one of the cleanest sites I've ever been on and the views are amazing! Fires and BBQ were available to hire which was perfect.
Great small campsite

We loved our stay. The site had the perfect scenery. The site was immaculate with new showers and toilets. Sandy and Bruce the site managers are the nicest people you will ever meet, they can not do enough for you! They became my camping mam and dad haha.

For a couple, this campsite was idyllic. Great facilities. Peaceful with plenty of space between pitches. Perfect venue for exploring Scafell and the lakes. We’ll definitely be back.

Bruce and Sandy helped us set up. Lovely people, helped us with a lot of the stuff (hooking up electric, etc.) considering it was our very first time in a campervan. There was a bench on our pitch as well (which we missed at our next campsite). The wash areas were not too far and everything worked. It's only 20 minute drive to Scafell Pike, so if you're planning on hiking that early in the morning then, this is a good choice.

Very beautiful place, with lots of facilities. I got my van stuck in the wet grass and early in the morning, the owner pulled me out - really lovely service and would highly recommend.

This site was really great. We used it as a base so we could visit various places from here. The staff were nice and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely come here again.

Probably one of the best shower and loo blocks we've experienced. So clean. Being picky - the push button on the shower, warm water and no shelves. But the cleanliness was spot on. A nice friendly welcome as well.

Our stay at Parkgate Farm was amazing - we can't believe they have only been open since earlier this year. We wanted to stay somewhere in the Lakes that had access to the coast and the Lakes and the site is perfectly located within easy access to both. The site is sloped and perfectly frames a long valley view towards Scafell Pike - beautiful backdrop which was constantly changing with the weather. At night, there is a fantastic sky where you can see hundreds of stars - if you can get a clear night! The Site Managers - Sandy & Bruce - were so lovely, welcoming and helpful, always checking that we were OK and giving us some good tips. The facilities were immaculate - new, bright and spotless. There are some lovely walks from the campsite through adjacent woodland which was perfect for walking the dog in the morning/evening. There are even lots of friendly donkeys who were very happy to see us and our bag of carrots. There are also a number of good pubs within a very short drive that provided excellent food and a well stocked Spar/Petrol Station very close by for any shopping bits and bobs. We had an excellent week here and had no issues setting up the caravan at all. We would highly recommend staying at Parkgate Farm to anyone!

Excellent campsite, very friendly atmosphere. Perfect for location - both Wast Water, hills and the beach. Only minor drawback for us was that the nearest pub was a 40 minute walk. Of course, some folks may view this as a big positive.

Beautiful place, superbly run. Some travel needed for groceries but not a real problem. Managers of the site deserve a special mention for their warmness and attention to detail.

What a lovely campsite! There aren't too many pitches, which makes the site quiet and peaceful. The site wardens, Sandy and Bruce, are very friendly and come round to check on all of the guests daily. It is clear that they take pride in their site! The facilities are modern and kept very clean. We wish we had spent longer here, and would definitely come back if we were in the area!
Stunning views and location

Where do I start?! Absolutely amazing. Very clean and tidy. The site wardens Sandy and Bruce really make your stay extra special. They make sure you have everything you need and want, nothing is too much trouble for them. They make you feel so welcome always going that extra mile for you. They go round each pitch checking everything is ok for you and spend time getting to know you and have a good chin wag. The site is beautiful with stunning views of the mountains, they also have their own donkeys which is just too cute! Highly recommend this campsite and we will be back to visit.

This is a lovely, small campsite with a range of places to stay if camping isn't your thing. The facilities were perfect - always clean and I had no problem accessing them at any time. We wish we'd booked longer but it had been booked for the bank holiday weekend- we would have stayed longer! The only negative point -which was specific to our stay only, and was dealt with effectively and kindly - was some other campers didn't respect the 11pm quiet time. I personally don't think this camp suits large groups, it's perfect for smaller respectful groups/families. Children young and old, even if noisy(/just being kids!), wouldnt be a problem here. The problem was just the lateness of the noise in such a beautifully quiet area. Issue dealt with in a kind, direct and courteous manner - definitely wouldn't stop me coming here again. Next time we'd love to stay for longer! Thank you Sandy and Bruce!
Amazing new campsite!

This campsite was great! The toilets and showers were lovely and the site wardens were very friendly and on hand. It was very nice they came round every evening to check in and see if we wanted a fire pit for the evening. The view from the campsite was stunning, and the walks around the site were great. There were outdoor games provided which is great for children and the donkeys make a fun addition! The glamping pods on the site look amazing too. Our only suggestion is to add soap into the toilet rooms with the showers in.
