Quite a few potholes. Was so foggy when we went that we couldn’t see anything most of the time but might be better with better weather. No toilets nearby. But really quiet, barely any cars passed. We were the only ones there all night.

the view looked brilliant, but there were some very inconsiderate parking going on when we arrived last night from campervans who had spread their cars about.

Super Platz mit toller Aussicht. Absolut empfehlenswert. Um 3£ Spende wird gebeten, was absolut fair ist.

Stayed here 01 June 2022 - first wild camp! Amazing views and had a great night sleep with no extra sounds.

Room with a view and fairly level just below the summit on Kirkstone Pass. (First cum, best view). We will stop again

Lovely view. Isn’t the flattest bit of parking but will do for a night or 2 lovely surrounding area. No service for neither me or my partner on 02 and 3.

Stayed 29/12/21. Lovely view (when the clouds cleared). Fairly level, although we were the only van there so got first pick. Couple of youngsters in cars there until 9ish but no problems. No sign saying no overnight parking but it asks for a donation. In the daytime the road was pretty busy, but nice and quiet at night.

Amazing spot, quiet and what a view! River just across the road as well.

Gorgeous stop over. Car noise until about 10pm. No one bothered us all night. I did a tidy up when we arrived as someone had dumped the contents of their rubbish bag along the fence line. Please take your rubbish home and respect the land and animals. Wildlife do not need your rubbish. It isn't healthy for them.

Amazing views no sign stating no overnight. Just a voluntary contribution of £3-£5 . Enough for 4 vans looking over valley. Just some innocent stoners turned up for 30 mins.

04/09/21 stayed for two nights in the van, arrived very late and still a few spaces left. Is next to the road but is quiet at night. Good view would stay again.

Flat, good view, 2 other campers stayed but very little traffic and a good starting point for red scree or stony cove pike

Stayed the night last night. Beautiful views and night and to wake up to. Pub not far down the road which does really basic pub grub. Some walks nearby! Got a little busy later on so get there earlier to get a good spot!

Amazing views. It needs to be marked as surrounded by nature or good views

Great spot to park up for the night. We were joined by two other campervans at around 11pm and had a quiet night there. Got busier in the morning with people coming by to take pictures of the amazing views. Stream nearby and picnic bench, no facilities so take your rubbish with you!

Small gravel car park with great views down to Brothers Water. Room enough for a 4/5 campers but only one side is level. Very quiet after 9pm, good night's sleep and nice walk up the hill in the morning.

Stunning location. Amazing views. Very wuiet night, with just a couple other vans. Space for many. Not national trust as title says, so free to park here with donation. We will be back!

Ich hab hier mit meinem Van geparkt. Super super Schöne Aussicht. Voraussetzung: gutes Wetter! Wir waren im Sturm dort oben und konnten keinen Meter weiter blicken, kann also sehr gefährlich werden, auch so ohne Empfang. Ansonsten super schöne Wanderwege, direkt an einem Fluss, Schafe die herumlaufen und meist hat man auf diesem großen Parkplatz Gesellschaft.

A great find as we were passing through Ullswater. We Stayed here for 2 nights, the 1st night there were 6 Van's the 2nd we were the only ones but both nights were peacefull throughout the evening and night. Lovely views and kids enjoyed climbing both hills. Def recommend

Amazing views found this while looking for a place to spend the night. Lots of people stop for photos but at night there was a few vans but everyone kept their distance which was good. river on the opposite side is nice and wide perfect to cool yourself down in and get clean water to wash stuff. No signal but walk/driveup the road to the Inn and you will be able to get signal if you need it

Most amazing views. Fantastic place to spend a night. Lots of tourists during the day but not a soul during the night. No phone signal but that didn’t bother us

Stunning views, arrived late and plenty of sightseers call in as a photo stop in the morning. Quite close to the road in terms of noise etc.
