Unpaved mountain escape in Eskdale Valley with horse paddocks and Scafell Pike views
Accommodation
Parkgate Farm offers 9 pitches, holiday homes, cabins, and a cottage in the Eskdale Valley. The caravans and cabins include a seating area, flat-screen TV, kitchen with oven and microwave, and kettle. The cottage (Harter Cottage) has a large garden for dogs and panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.
Amenities
The site provides a washing machine, tumble dryer, and freezer for guest use. An honesty shop sells camping essentials, handmade blankets, smores kits, and firewood. Guests can rent a fire pit for £5 per stay and order firewood delivered daily.
Activities & Location
Parkgate Farm is 10 minutes from Wast Water and Scafell Pike, with direct access to the Irton Pike walk from the site. Fell walking and cycling are available nearby, and guests can bring horses to use the on-site paddocks. The Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway (La'al Ratty) is a 10-minute drive, and Seascale beach is 10 minutes by car.
Family & Pet Friendly
Children can play with outdoor toys provided on the central field and a dedicated football field. Donkeys live on site and can be fed carrots - a daily activity for young guests. The dog walk and large garden at Harter Cottage make the site suitable for pets, and all accommodation is dog-friendly.
Hospitality & Extras
Wardens Bruce and Sandy greet every guest on arrival and check in daily to offer advice on walks and local attractions. They help with tent issues, lend equipment like airbed pumps, and even offer lifts if guests get stranded. Firewood service every evening includes a smores kit for £20 per fire pit.
