Liked: Sandy and Bruce came round and introduced themselves from the get go, gave an idea of what the weather was going to be like, sorted us with a fire pit and wood and showed us where all the facilities we could use were. Extremely friendly and helpful! Location is absolutely stunning, wish we had booked another day.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or campervan pitch (small)
Liked: The beautiful, peaceful location. The bathroom facilities are like a spa! The staff are warm and helpful. We enjoyed a fire pit with toasted marshmallows. The weather was wild but it did not matter. Also, there were quality books in the 'book swap', always a telling marker! I've left a brilliant Maggie O'Farrell for someone to enjoy. We will definitely return.

Liked: 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.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or campervan pitch (small)
Liked: 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!
Disliked: We had to come home!!

Non-electric grass and earth tent or motorhome pitch
Liked: 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.
Disliked: Nothing at all.
