    this is a busy spot and i imagine will get busier during summer. lots of cars full of lads having a smoke. the cobbled rd aproach is not the best. great views and walks but i had to leave at 2am due to local man in his builders van paying ridiculously loud music. didnt feel comfortable getting out to ask him to turn it down. might re visit during the week but at a weekend its a no.

    Great view, and a quiet night. 4 other vans here;plenty of room forus all plus families, courting couples and the aforementioned "youth"(who soon left). We approached up Woodhouse Lane, which is a mile long of mainly cobbles. Make sure everything is stowed! also lots of parked cars at the lower end so not suitable in a very wide vehicle.

    The road up wasn't too bad, just take it steady. The reward is well worth it. 360 views and walks around one of the 4 reservoirs up here. Locals come up in the evening to walk and talk, no issues with noise or unsavoury behaviour. Mobile signals all good.

    The other guys aren't lying about the road, but it looks like a lot of it has been resurfaced recently. The spot is one of the nicest I've seen round here. I'd definitely recommend for a day trip or picturesque wake-up.

    Lovely spot with great views. Not a great access road

    Very good views all round. Very level, 2 bar 4g on Vodafone, 3 bar on Smarty/Three. Quiet so far 8pm

    Not a bad little spot. Great views over the city and a really pretty skyline with the lights at night. Beautiful scenery behind along the reservoir and we had a nice walk around it. Slept well but there was the odd car turning up through the night but they didn’t bother us. Absolute bone rattler of a road up to the car park though so be prepared

    I stayed on a Sunday night and very quiet. A couple of cars pulled up during the evening but didn’t bother me. Lovely views and walk around the reservoir before breakfast. Very bumpy drive to get there so take it slow. Lots of pot holes in the car park but plenty of space to get a flat spot. No facilities.

    Very nice place to walk around the reservoir, I came to have breakfast and to enjoy the views of this lovely parking lot, I had to wait 10 minutes for a car to come out, for me to be able to park comfortably with views of Manchester city center, but cars go in and out constantly.

    Fantastic views. We went on a warm Saturday afternoon and it was very busy until around 9pm. Nobody was causing any trouble and by around 11pm we were on our own. There's a good walk up the hill opposite and in the morning we walked our dog around the reservoir which took around an hour and was very nice.

    Great place to park up. Recommend you park just before the car parking area as gets very busy cars coming and going. No bother at all. Access is over cobbled rd. (bone shaker ). A good 200/300m. All quiet after 10pm.

    Stayed for one night, great for dog walking. Some cars pulled up and played some music but were gone by 11pm so wasn't too much of a disturbance. Lovely views and walks

    Good stopover with amazing view of greater Manchester at night and lovely trails for walking around reservoir. Also popular with local youngsters having a good time - they were all gone by the time we went to bed.
