Clear filters Beautiful site, fantastic wardens
Large Tent - Medium Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 What a fantastic little site. We stayed for a week and had a great holiday.
We are a family of four with two young children under the age of 3. Lovely quiet site with fantastic views, great location with lots of things to do. We highly recommend visiting West water lake, absolutely stunning, especially on a sunny day. We had a day out on the Ravensglass steam train which both myself and my husband as well as our two children loved. Definitely worth the money.
The site is small but great if you want a quiet peaceful stay or, if you have children and need to keep them entertained. They have donkeys that you can go and see, there is a lovely walk around the site which walks straight through the donkey field, my little girl loved stroking them. The wardens have provided two boxes of outdoor toys which can be brought out onto the grass area in the middle of the field. There is plenty of room to run about and lots of room between the pitches.
You can hire fire pits as well as wood, firefighters and s'mores packs (big hit with the my husband). The toilet and shower block is great, brand new, so clean and the showers are amazing! There is a washing machine as well as a clothes maiden that you can borrow to dry your clothes.
The site is a mixture of caravans, little wooden glamping pods and tents, which is a great balance. Bruce and Sandy (wardens) are the most attentive wardens we have ever met, they are wonderful. Such lovely people, they are on hand and you will see them everyday morning and evening without fail. They are so knowledgeable of the area and will go out of there way to make sure you have a wonderful holiday. They are great with the children and just really kind and lovely people.
We can't recommend this site enough, for both people with children and without. We will definitely be returning.
Thank you Park Gate Farm, Sandy and Bruce for making our holiday so wonderful.
Perfect spot for camping
Large Tent - Medium Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 Perfect spot for camping, mark areas for tents, easy to find following google maps, views are amazing. Owners are really nice and helpful, there are toilets, showers and a prep area with sink - all that you would need with family. Fantastic place, we will return for sure.
Fantastic
Motorhome - Medium Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 Amazing location. The hosts, Sandy and Bruce, are wonderful.
Excellent campsite, wardens went above and beyond
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2023 Fantastic place views are outstanding and the two Wardens Bruce & Sandy obviously enjoy their job and take pride in the place, are extremely helpful and friendly. With the cleanliest toilets and shower facilities we have ever camped in (hotels have been worse). Will definitely re-visit.
Lovely, peaceful campsite
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2023 We stayed at Parkgate for four nights in July and had a great time.
The facilities are modern and clean and the layout of the campsite gives plenty of space for kids to play without getting in anyone's way, which was perfect for our toddler (who also loved the donkeys!).
The area is much quieter than the tourist hotspots in the Lakes, but just as nice.
Lovely campsite!
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2023 A really lovely campsite with stunning views!
Each tent pitch comes with a picnic bench, which I thought was a really nice touch. The toilets and showers were really nice and clean. The washing facilities were good too and not far from any of the pitches/pods.
We were shown around one of the cabins too which was gorgeous, we definitely want to look at booking one of those soon as well. Would definitely return for camping too as we really enjoyed the stay there.
We spoke to the owner and the wardens who were all lovely and happy to help with any questions.
There are a couple of pubs which are less than an hour's walk from the site.
We felt very safe on the site.
Amazing stay!
Single Axle Caravan - Medium Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2023 Amazing site with great facilities! Beautiful location! And great staff! Would definitely recommend and will be returning if ever in the area again! 10/10
Thank you!
VW-Type Campervan - Medium Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2023 Bruce and Sandy made it a lovely stay! Thank you very much.
Lovely stay
Large Tent - Medium Electric Grass Pitches May 2023 We really enjoyed peace and quiet here.
It is a small campsite with only 9 pitches, so it didn't feel crowded even when fully booked on a bank holiday weekend.
Location is amazing, with lovely views around and the campsite is very well taken care of. Wardens made us feel very welcome and came round throughout our stay to make sure everyone was happy.
Highly recommend this place.
Really enjoyed my stay
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Apr 2023 Really enjoyed my stay here!
Good location, the stewards were super helpful and gave me tips on where to go hiking.
All the toilets and washing up facilities were clean and high quality. Excellent value for money.
I'll definitely come again, and have recommended it to people I know.
Lovely campsite
Large Tent - Medium Electric Grass Pitches Apr 2023 Lovely site, generally quiet during my stay.
Showers were lovely and warm and the entire site was clean and well maintained. My pitch site was level and tent pegs easy to place in the ground.
The site wardens were lovely and took the effort to look out for the happiness and welfare of any guests.
Excellent site
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Apr 2023 What a fabulous site to pitch up at and enjoy the area.
I arrived quite late in the evening but was shown the pitch, and the facilities and duly got the tent up and the fire pit out and put together and lit. The sunset view as I cooked my meal over the fire was just stunning. The site facilities are excellent and the peace and tranquillity are what camping this way is all about.
The site is easy to find and a great base for exploring the Eskfale area.
Loved the place
