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 Pitch Jul 2024 Great campsite. Facilities are excellent and well looked after.
Lovely location and great site
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitch 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 Pitch 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 Pitch 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 Pitch 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 Pitch 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.
1 night stay on New Year's Eve
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Medium Electric Grass Pitches Dec 2023 Clean toilets and showers. Beautiful setting.

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitch Dec 2023 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.
