Parkhead Campsite

Positiv Flat well drained field with good stone walls. Portaloos were clean. Good water pressure to the tap.

Saw few buzzards and a kestrel. Loads of bats active at night.

Negativ The sign needs to be bigger.

Gates had been left open and the sheep had covered the site with droppings.

Good 2 miles to pub.

Positiv Very quiet open space, with only one other camper. Great views and amazing night skies.

Negativ Bit hard to locate. Toilets were not good but luckily had our own facilities. Area had recent sheep shit, which meant you had to clear the area around our tent.

Positiv Parkhead is absolutely unique. The views are completely stunning. It’s absolutely silent at night with the most beautiful sky. It has a tap. It has a loo. It has friendly sheep in the next field for comipany. Don’t expect any more facilities and you will be overjoyed with what you find. We loved it.

Negativ Nothing

Positiv The view is spectacular with lambs nearby. It’s an excellent choice for a one-night stay only if you want to visit the Lake District. NO facilities like showers or pot wash, but 2 toilets toi-toi and water tap provided :)

Negativ No waste bin apart from recycling only

Positiv Lovely quiet, scenic location.
Nice walks not far from site and a couple of pubs a short drive or couple of mile walk away
Owner of the site very helpful giving local points of interest and information for things to do and regularly checking everything was ok

Negativ Not a dislike more of an observation as if the site was full to capacity I’m not sure one portaloo would be able to cope

Positiv Hidden gem! Gorgeous views, tranquil site, close to local towns and not too far away from Ullswater! Lovely river nearby too where you can kayak/go white water rafting. Ollie was a great host, looked after everyone and was very responsive. The site had a toilet and a water tap that was drinkable. Ollie was also very accommodating towards our anxious dog. Brilliant stay, will be back!

Negativ Nothing at all
