If a trip to the Lake District National Park for you means plenty of peace, space and lovely natural views, this is the place for you. A couple of miles from Ambleside, Skelwith Fold Caravan Park is set within 130 acres of ancient woodland, providing a top-notch location for a stay in this wonderful part of the world. This location is on the site of a former country house – and while that building is long gone, a few handy replacements have sprung up, including a reception building with a shop and several bathroom blocks with all mod cons (think underfloor heating and hot showers as well as accessible facilities and spacious family rooms). There’s also a building housing a well-equipped launderette (with several washing machines and tumble dryers, plus a drying room) and a library so you’ll have something to read while you wait for your clothes. That launderette may well come in useful, as this is a place that lends itself to getting just a bit mucky – for starters, there’s a fab four-acre open space for the kids to run about and play games, plus a large play area with a zipwire, scramble nets and loads of other play kit. There are also woodland trails running through the grounds, leading to the tarn and nature hide, with red squirrels, woodpeckers and deer to spot along the way. This is a large site, but it’s not a place that ever feels crowded, as pitches have been cleverly tucked away in tree-lined glades around the park, giving each area a cosy woodland atmosphere – just the thing for your peaceful Lake District break.

Areal kørende med hårdt underlag med valgfri elektricitet

Syntes om Lovely clean facilities, never an issue with the toilets or showers. Beautiful site, that is clearly well looked after. The park and its facilities are fantastic. Would definitely return and recommend.

Syntes ikke om The shop could be done with staying open a little longer. We didn’t bring the correct pegs a not getting the awning up would have been disastrous as our van was full. We called the warden, who was as helpful as he could be and said we needed different pegs but we couldn’t get any them as the shop was shut. Over the stay there was a few times we could have used the shop but as it shut at 17:30 we always missed out.

Areal kørende med hårdt underlag med valgfri elektricitet

Syntes om Warm welcome on arrival, Louise was spot on with the site information. The wardens were friendly with great advice. Pitches were clean on arrival and large enough for a van and awning. Hook ups were easy to use. Facilities on the site very good shop, library and washing machine if need. Toilet blocks were spotless.

Syntes ikke om WIFI dips in and out, this was explained at reception

Syntes om Really well looked after site and good pitches. Hard standing and the premium pitch we had was great.
Everything was spotless and the shop is well stocked.

Syntes ikke om Really poor telephone reception and internet isn’t good.
A little tip. If you’re an in experienced driver towing. The road to the site can be tight so take it slow and steady.

Fra bestyreren: Dear David, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and that you found the site well looked after. It's lovely to know you were happy with your premium hardstanding pitch and that our facilities and well-stocked shop met your expectations.

Thank you also for your helpful feedback about the mobile signal and internet. Due to our beautiful woodland location, coverage can be patchy for some networks, but we appreciate you making future visitors aware. We also appreciate your tip about the approach road—taking it nice and steady is definitely the best way, especially when towing.

We hope to welcome you back for another stay soon!

We also appreciate your feedback about the approach road. As we're nestled in the heart of the woodland, the access can feel a little narrow in places, but taking it slowly and carefully makes the journey much easier.

Thank you again for your comments, and we hope to welcome you back for another relaxing stay in the future!

Areal kørende med hårdt underlag med valgfri elektricitet

Syntes om For a large site it felt very warm & welcoming with great sized pitches that were well laid out. We really liked the location & facilities available. Being in the forest was fantastic and the walks around the woodland a real bonus. The fact that tourers sections were interspersed between static sections really helped to make the site connected rather than segregated and the lovely treees and plants everywhere softened the boundaries beautifully. The shop, reception, library, laundrette, toilets and showers were all of a very high standard and, like the whole site, very well looked after. The bus stops for Ambleside & Coniston being right at the entrance was so convenient but some may struggle with the mile walk down and back along the driveway to get there. We've always been wary of large sites but this one had us wanting to stay longer!

Syntes ikke om Nothing.

Fra bestyreren: Dear Angela, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that your stay changed your perception of larger sites and even left you wishing you could have stayed longer—that's such a lovely compliment.

It's great to know you enjoyed the spacious pitches, woodland setting, and the way the touring and static areas blend together to create a welcoming atmosphere. Our team works hard to keep the facilities and grounds looking their best, so they'll be thrilled to hear your kind comments.

We're also pleased you found the bus stop location convenient for exploring Ambleside and Coniston, and we appreciate you mentioning the walk to the entrance, as it's a helpful tip for future visitors.

We hope to welcome you back for another relaxing stay in the forest very soon!

Lokale seværdigheder

As well as having top-notch facilities, Skelwith Fold Caravan Park is in a top-notch location for a Lake District break. There are lots of great walks and activities nearby, and staff are always on hand to dish out ideas and tips to help you make the best of it all. Of course you’ll want to see some lakes – perhaps starting with Tarn Hows (15 minutes' drive) before moving on to a steam boat ride on Coniston Water (20 minutes) and a tour of Rydal Water (15 minutes), taking in Rydal Cave and Rydal Mount and Gardens along the way. The big one, of course, is Windermere, just a few minutes' drive from the park and with boat trips available from Ambleside (10 minutes). Around the lake there are various attractions to stop off at, including the National Trust sites at Wray (10 minutes) and Hill Top (20 minutes). If you've got the kids, look instead to places like the World of Beatrix Potter Attraction (20 minutes) and Lakeland Farm Visitor Centre (25 minutes).
