Petite zone goudronnée juste à côté de la route principale à mi-chemin "la lutte". Joli niveau, beaucoup de circulation et de promeneurs pendant la journée. Paisible la nuit avec de superbes vues.

Small tarmac area just off the main road part way down "the struggle". Pretty level, lots of passing traffic and walkers during the day. Peaceful at night with great views.

Kleiner asphaltierter Bereich direkt an der Hauptstraße auf halbem Weg "der Kampf". Schöne Ebene, tagsüber viel Verkehr und Spaziergänger. Ruhig in der Nacht mit toller Aussicht.

    The struggle… yes the struggle is real to get there! Holey Moley! The road is just about doable in our Sprinter van but only in first gear. It was so windy we didn’t stay as wanted a decent night sleep. It’s in the clouds.

  • 5/5

    Amazing little park up, beautiful views, plenty of space for a few vans. Limited phone signal on three (enough for a few sporadic texts and that’s it)

  • 2/5

    Pass war gesperrt, von einer Seite nicht befahrbar, von der anderen Seite erreichbar aber enge Zufahrtsstrasse. Platz ist abfallend und nicht so optimal. Auch Einheimische parkieren dort ihre grösseren Fahrzeuge. Hatten fast kein Platz. Am morgen relativ viel Verkehr. Aber das Dorf unterhalb ist wunderschön.

  • 5/5

    Good site a little uneven but great for a night, had a quiet night no worries

  • 5/5

    Phenomenal place to say, hardly any cars passed us the one night we stayed here. Nice walks near by. We had a sheep camp next to us most the night. Can still access this spot while Kirkstone Pass is closed. Definitely worth the journey. We managed the roads in our Ford Transit.

  • 5/5

    great place very quiet as it is just of the kirkstone pass, good ground and great views no light pollution so great to watch the stars and very quiet

  • 5/5

    Very quiet, level gravel, didn’t get disturbed/moved on, make sure to get opening entrance facing the valley because you will get the most incredible view in the morning. Fairly close to town/walking spots. If this spot is too small/full travel further up the hill (about 10mins) and there is a free large car park next to a pub. Up a 20% hill, not sheltered by trees.

  • 5/5

    Short but steep downhill drive to the spot. Incredible views. Road was quite busy up until dark and from about 9am. As newbies we perhaps should've checked the forecast more closely as we endured some very heavy rain showers! Would definitely recommend (after a forecast check)!

  • 5/5

    Stayed for 1 night. Site was level and road quiet once dark. Weak EE mobile signal.

  • 5/5

    Stayed here for 1 night, arrived around 7pm and we were the only ones to stay. 4 or 5 cars passed between us arriving and bed time. Very quiet and on flat level ground. Fantastic views. 3G/4G works but is very slow.

  • 5/5

    Small place next to the road with an amazing view, arrived in the dark and we were suprised by the scenery in the morning. Road is quit at night so we had a good rest.

  • 5/5

    ein sehr schöner Platz zum Schlafen, aber es kann in der Tat wirklich sehr windig werden. Trotzdem hat man dort unten seine Ruhe und es fahren nur ab und zu Autos vorbei. der Pub hatte, als wir dort waren, zu. oben auf dem Platz vom pub kann man auch schlafen, ist aber auch nicht windgeschützter.

  • 5/5

    Amazing place to stay. Quite. Would highly recommend

  • 5/5

    Unbelievable spot. Very quiet at night and nearly flat. The pub is about a 10min walk up the hill. Will definitely come back.

  • 5/5

    Awesome little spot for the night with amazing views! The road was really quiet at night - felt like the middle of nowhere.

  • 5/5

    What a beautiful place on earth, we where here with our small Van, wouldn’t recommend it with a bigger rig than a sprinter as there are a lot of places down the road that are easier to drive on

  • 5/5

    We arrived at 3am so had no idea where we were I til we woke up and were surprised by the scenery and animals everywhere! Lovely road to longboard on too.

  • 2/5

    Up an incredibly steep road. Very windy up there, uneven ground, didn't feel safe. We moved on.

  • 5/5

    Great, spacious spot to stop for a night with an excellent view. One other person there when I arrived around 8pm.

  • 5/5

    Perfect little spot just outside of Ambleside with good service! We had this place all to ourselves and a few sheep. Quiet road with some cars/bikers in the morning. Didn't stay for the day so not sure how busy it gets. Would definitely come back here

  • 5/5

    Amazing views. Plenty of space to park and near enough flat if you get your parking right. The road was very quite at night and we had the whole spot to ourselves. Would definitely come back here

  • 5/5

    Beautiful views. Stayed for one night. Very quiet no trouble at all. Managed to get phone signal when sat up on the rocks. Good footpath 200m down the road. Would definitely come back.

  • 4/5

    Great stay overnight. Relatively quiet road with 4G. HOWEVER. Hard to get to in larger vehicles!! And on a windy day would definitely advise against if you have a high top. Views into the valley are stunning. No signs.

  • 5/5

    Stayed here last night, tons of space, flat enough to park and incredible views. River nearby and lots of nice walking routes for strolls. A couple cars pass every 10 mins or so but they're slow because its so steep.

  • 5/5

    Quiet, lovely views, wasn't disturbed and didn't hear any cars after about 9pm.

  • 5/5

    Peaceful. Space for 2 on flat. Helluva view.

  • 4/5

    Fantastic spot, lots of traffic in the day (revving engines struggling to get up the hill), but quietened down in the evening. We struggled to get internet on EE, O2 and Three, but the weather was awful which does impact the towers. When we arrived we found the previous people had dumped their rubbish, please don’t be like them!

  • 5/5

    A stunning view with hard standing for 3 or 4 vans. With plenty of long walks available from there and an Inn just a short walk away too. Small road but was quite busy during the day. Very quiet later into the evening. Only negative was in the sunshine you could smell pee from lots of travellers stopping there (cars and vans).

  • 5/5

    Great little park up for the night with great views, quite a few cars passing during daylight but silent at night.

  • 5/5

    Really nice spot with stunning surroundings. We stayed here one night as the second night another van was parked here. We stayed a little bit down the struggle. Would stay here again

  • 5/5

    Parked up at night and woke up to stunning surroundings after a very peaceful nights sleep...lovely little spot

  • 5/5

    Great place to camp. Quiet and lovely views!

  • 5/5

    We spent a quiet night here over the bank holiday weekend. The parking area is actually a little further down the road than indicated on the map but access is no problem from the A592. Phone and data signal here was good.

  • 5/5

    Nice little spot. No refuse point. Restful night's sleep. Very near to main road.
