This was our second time staying at Parkgate Farm and boy did it not disappoint. This time we took our children (6 and 8) and the first thing they did was play in the middle, where all the toys had been left out for every child to play with. They had everything you could think of: badminton, football, hoola hoops, Frisbee, tennis, and so much more. My boys loved it. The best bonus this time was finding a beach only 10 minutes away!
Sandy and Bruce remembered us from last time, and just their daily presence of asking how we are and checking in on us, made us feel so welcome.
The facilities again immaculate, cleaned daily to a high standard. They even thought about having their own ice cooler boxes that we could use..
Overall 10/10 again and we cannot wait to go again with all of our extended family.

Everything! Sandy and Bruce were amazing, so friendly and welcoming.

We would stay again, and it's so nice to see they've thought of everything.

Nothing!

Friendly owners. Amazing site, clean and well maintained facilities.

What a great site!!
The views are spectacular and with such a small site, it has such a homely feel. Bruce and Sandy were fantastic-nothing was ever too much! The facilities were spotless and the showers brilliant.
The pitches were large with a clothes line and bench. We had hard standing for the van and then plenty of dedicated grass space to spread out. The layout of all the pitches have been really well thought out!
We have a big dog but she was made to feel super welcome too, and great walks directly from site.
S’mores packs and fire pits are a really cute addition to an already fantastic campsite.
Probably one of my favourite sites ever stayed in!

We had to come home!!

Super chilled out campsite in a fantastic location.

Bruce and Sandy who look after the immaculate site are never far away for information on both the facilities and surrounding
area.

Walks directly from the site. Couple of pubs, Santon Bridge and Bower house can be reached via the forrest and a short section of road.

Further afield there is great access to Wasdale screes and even right to Wasdale head (about 7 mile). Shuttle bus back to Santon Bridge for excellent views over Wast Water another option.

Ravenglass and the la'al ratty train up Eskdale valley again very close by.

The pitches all have great views over the surrounding fells and the facilities are kept immaculate.

Nothing at all.

Fantastic views and lovely staff, great walkways, fire pit, and smores

The road in

What a stunning campsite, it was perfect in every way possible. Pitch 2 was plenty big enough and close to lovely clean toilet block. There were 4 toilets and 2 showers all unisex. Showers were nice and hot . There was WiFi for the teenager so that kept her happy in the evenings. We Did get phone signal here too. Beautiful views of the mountains in every direction. The owners come and greet you on their quad bike and tell you all the relevant information and they are contactable very easily. We will definitely be back. We heard an owl and saw deer and donkeys so good wildlife haven too.

Nothing with regards to the campsite. But The arrival of a large group of youngsters on our second night, lots of swearing and shouting until very late hours and then taking up all the bathrooms at the same time in the morning.

A truly beautiful spot with stunning views. Very clean showers and amenities and the staff are friendly and accommodating. Big thanks to Sandy and Bruce.
