Clear filters Lovely peaceful campsite
VW-Type Campervan - XL Electric Grass Pitch Oct 2024 The campsite is spotless and set in beautiful surroundings with good facilities.
It's very peaceful, Sandy and Bruce were very welcoming. They clearly work hard to maintain the campsite, the donkeys were an added bonus!
I highly recommend to those looking for a quiet stay with scenic surroundings.
Amazing Campsite!
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2024 I've genuinely never stayed on such a clean and well equipped campsite. The site managers were lovely and had thought of every detail, from the kitchen facilities, to being able to purchase a fire pit and roast marshmallows.
We'll definitely be back! Thanks for a wonderful stay.
Perfect getaway
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2024 Sandy and Bruce (wardens) were very welcoming and checked on us each day.
The campsite is small and peaceful, perfect for a relaxing getaway. Lovely views of the mountains and forests. Also, close to the beach, could not have asked for anything more. We had lovely campfires in the evening which we rented out on site, as well as a BBQ.
Will definitely be returning :)
Beautiful and peaceful
Motorhome - Medium Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2024 Sandy & Bruce, the site wardens are lovely and welcoming.
Impressive facilities and beautiful location. Shame we didn't have nice weather but never mind. As a suggestion, we would trim back the tree over the pitch as the rain plopping on the roof of the Motorhome (from the tree) kept us awake.
The road down was rather uneven for the Motorhome, so perhaps when there are a few extra pennies, then it could do with a proper surface.
It was a far superior site to the last one we visited and we could tell much thought had gone into it. We would definitely recommend it to anyone.
Weekend camping trip
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2024 Very well run, friendly and super location
Lovely, peaceful site in amazing scenery
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2024 We were met upon arrival and shown our space and the facilities. Everything was very neat and tidy.
The bathrooms and washing up/utility rooms were spotless all the time. The views of the fells are outstanding. It was helpful to have a tumble dryer to use and also a washing line too. All staff I met or spoke to on the phone were so friendly. Even the donkeys were friendly and liked a stroke. We are just working out when we can come back again.
Beautiful
VW-Type Campervan - Large Electric Grass Pitch Sep 2024 Set in beautiful surroundings and couldn't ask for more.
Sandy and Bruce the wardens were so welcoming and made the stay even better. Will definitely go back.
Couldn't be more accommodating!
Aug 2024 We booked this location for 2 nights, first time stopping.
First night, we had issues reaching the location due to roadworks which Sandy and Bruce helped with straight away. We weren't as prepared as we thought for the pod but Bruce & Sandy came to the rescue and helped set up the airbed.
Lovely couple who checked in, couldn't help out anymore if they tried. Always available and the location is great, facilities clean and we loved the fact they had games for children, washing/drying facilities. I would gladly rebook.
Thank you for a lovely stay and we would highly recommend this campsite.
Nice small campsite with a personal touch
Medium Tent - Small Non Electric Grass Pitch Aug 2024 The campsite caretakers were lovely and greeted us personally, also checking in on us to make sure we had settled in. They were helpful with advice and even allowed us to take a different pitch which was available that was more sheltered than our original booking, which was really kind.
The service block was small and compact and mostly very clean, except for on the day of our departure (perhaps an off day). The site was welcoming and cosy with good level pitches. We'd definitely stay here again and happily recommend to others.
Couldn’t recommend enough!
Medium Tent - Medium Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2024 Stayed for 4 nights with our dog. Firstly, the views from the site are incredible! Waking up with a coffee looking over at the mountains was amazing.
Sandy and Bruce were brilliant, always happy to have a chat and help in any way they could and would always give recommendations of places to go. The remote location, although great for the views, it does have the downside of not being near any big shops. But, there is a Spar and Co-op not too far away, so don't let that put you off! There are plenty of lovely walks you can do from the campsite, but also, it's not far from Wast Water and other lakes/the beach you could walk around too.
Great Site
Motorhome - XL Electric Grass Pitch Jul 2024 Our stay was very pleasant indeed. We were greeted by and looked after by Sandy and Bruce throughout. A friendlier and more professional couple you could not wish for. If other campsites were to look for a model to base their sites on, look no further than Parkgate Farm.
Lovely walks with stunning views easily accessible direct from the site.
Cozy campsite
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2024 Great campsite. Facilities are excellent and well looked after.
Lovely location and great site
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2024 Lovely location, great views and very peaceful.
Lovely campsite
VW-Type Campervan - Small Electric Grass Pitch Jul 2024 We wanted a quick, last minute campsite for 1 night that wasn't too expensive. I needed to book one where we could have Wi-Fi to watch the England match after we had walked up Scafell.
All were either booked up, wanted you to pay for 2 nights or no Wi-Fi. Then, stumbled on this place. Hidden gem. The owners were so accommodating. Facilities were brilliant and clean. We will definitely be back and hopefully with better weather!
Beautifully run canpsite
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2024 We had an amazing stay.
This campsite is in a beautiful location and is one of the best campsites we've been too. The toilet and shower facilities are great and always immaculate! The couple who run the campsite are so attentive and friendly, they made our stay even better.
Great place to stay
VW-Type Campervan - Small Non Electric Grass Pitch Jun 2024 Had problems with our campervan and got help immediately. Great place to stay!
Beautiful pitch lovely owners
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2024 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.
Perfect location
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2024 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
Large Tent - Medium Electric Grass Pitches May 2024 We've stayed for 4 nights, great small camping site, great clean facilities. Sandy and Bruce were really helpful, have already booked next year. Thank you for great time.
Peaceful
Single Axle Caravan - Medium Electric Grass Pitches May 2024 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.
Lovely
Medium Tent - Small Non Electric Grass Pitch May 2024 Amazing stay, lovely hosts, highly recommended.
Just idyllic
VW-Type Campervan - Medium Electric Grass Pitches May 2024 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.
Excellent
Camping Pod - Camping Pod (Dog Friendly) May 2024 The location, service and facilities were all of the highest quality. The owners were exceptionally hospitable and accommodating.
Amazing
Motorhome - Non Electric Grass Pitches May 2024 Amazing. Quiet, lovely people and close to loads of walks.
Helpful staff good cleanup areas close to Scafell Pike
Motorhome - Large Electric Grass Pitch May 2024 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.
