Parkgate Farm Holidays

Parkgate Farm Holidays - Dog Friendly Camping, Glamping, Touring, Parks in Cumbrian Mountains, Cumbria

Parkgate Farm Holidays is a family-run countryside retreat nestled beneath the Wasdale and Eskdale fells in the Lake District’s Cumbrian Mountains. Open from February through December, it offers camping pitches, luxury glamping cabins, holiday caravans and a self-catering cottage amid fields, woodland and mountain panoramas.

Camping pitches
Camping at Parkgate Farm comprises nine generously spaced pitches, five of which have electric hook-up. Each pitch includes a picnic bench and adjacent parking for one vehicle. Campers share use of family shower rooms, separate toilets and a dedicated washing-up area, with a washing machine and tumble dryer on site. A camping pod provides an alternate shelter, and fire pits or leg-raised BBQs can be rented (disposable BBQs are prohibited). Quiet hours run from 11pm to 7am.

Glamping cabins
Three bespoke two-bedroom cabins accommodate up to four adults or a family of five. Each cabin features a double and a triple bedroom, a shower room and an open-plan living and kitchen area equipped with an electric oven, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, toaster and kettle. Cabins are fully insulated, centrally heated and include an electric wood burner. Guests can dine outdoors on the private eating area with a BBQ and fire pit, all set against sweeping fell views.

Holiday caravans
Five fully insulated and centrally heated holiday caravans occupy raised decked patios overlooking the surrounding fells. These leisure homes offer comfortable indoor living alongside private outdoor space ideal for alfresco dining and relaxation.

Self-catering cottages & holiday homes
Harter Cottage is an idyllic three-bedroom self-catering home set within its own garden beneath a graceful eucalyptus tree. The living room and two bedrooms enjoy uninterrupted views of the Lake District fells, offering a serene environment for families or small groups.

Parkgate Farmhouse is one of two new large self-catering holiday homes at Parkgate Farm. Sleeping eight people, it provides spacious accommodation for families and groups looking for a countryside stay close to the Wasdale and Eskdale fells.

High Frith Barn is a second large self-catering holiday home, also sleeping eight people. It can be booked separately or together with Parkgate Farmhouse, giving larger groups the option of accommodation for up to 16 people.

Amenities & practicalities
Free WiFi is available across the site. On-site grazing for horses and ponies is offered at £5 per animal per night. Guests may bring up to two well-behaved dogs per pitch or cabin, and the cottage also welcomes canine companions. Single-sex groups are permitted only by prior arrangement. Arrival and departure times vary by accommodation type, generally beginning in the mid-afternoon with departures by mid-morning.

Whether you choose to pitch a tent, stay in a cosy cabin, unwind in a caravan or settle into a cottage, Parkgate Farm Holidays delivers a peaceful countryside escape with direct access to low-level walks, bridleways for mountain biking and horse-riding, and the natural splendour of the Western Lakes.
