Power optional gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely staff, lovely site..would definitely return.
I didn’t really get full use out of the site just used as somewhere to pitch up while I prepared for the Lap, so if I’m silly enough to do it again I’ll definitely use Skelwith only 25mins from the start of the Lap if any Lappers are looking for a place to stay won’t go wrong here.
Showers and Toilets perfect 👌

Jes M.

Power optional gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Well stocked shop. Friendly staff. Clean and warm toilet / shower block (underfloor heating). Level campervan area. Very quiet site. Feels smaller than it is, because made up of smaller areas in woodland. 10 minute drive to Ambleside. I think there’s free wifi, although I didn’t use it as there was also good phone signal.

Disliked Nothing to dislike

Local attractions

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).
