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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
