Skelwith Fold Caravan Park in Ambleside, Lake District
Lovely clean site in beautiful surroundings. Warm welcome from friendly staff throughout. Good toilet, shower, washing up and launderette facilities, it even had a shop !
Bus stop into Ambleside or Coniston from edge of site, only disadvantage was that was at the bottom of a big hill ! Great site for walkers and dog friendly Good value Holiday ! :)

Stayed this time for the Great North Swim-Run. We walked down the wonderfully created lane between Skelwith and Ambleside, then on to the start of the event.
This park never disappoints. No camping but some caravan/motorhome pitches.
Not the cheapest but turning in feels like coming home.

Second outing with motorhome. Pleased that you can select your own site and allowed to look around first. Very efficient booking in process with lots of information. We booked premium but unless you need television and water the other touring sites are well serviced and in a lovely wooded area. Think we would book these next time. No telephone or tv signal.
Short walk to Ambleside and on a bus route which was a plus. Well stocked shop. Staff really helpful and friendly. Toilets and showers very clean. Not sure how you wash your plates in winter it seems a bit exposed. Will have to remember warm waterproof gear.
Thanks for a lovely stay.

Fabulously situated site for walking to Ambleside, Hawkshead, Ambleside, Langdale straight from the site. It is in a very picturesque setting.
We loved our time there. We had an all service pitch. Excellent showers etc. Very quiet at night.
The staff were very friendly and informative.
We will definitely be returning to this site.

It was a very nice site with hard standing and grassed areas for a lean to. Clean wash facilities and conveniently placed. Friendly welcome and lots of information given both about the site and the area.
Small shop which had most things one would need when camping. Buses run to Ambleside at regular frequency and also taxi fares are reasonable.
The only down side was it was a bit expensive at £67 for 2 nights.

This site is in a beautiful location tucked inside woodland. We found a very peaceful spot past the children's play area and round the corner. All pitches are hard standing so no grass anywhere, but that isn't a hardship as you are surrounded by glorious woodland. The reception staff were most helpful and the shop was excellent. The site is very large with many beautifully situated static caravans.
There is a bus stop outside the main entrance, but that is quite a walk to the touring areas. There are so many wonderful opportunities in the area for walking and cycling.
We didn't manage to get a fully serviced pitch, but we're quite glad when we found our little spot. It was quite a walk to the shower block and to empty the loo, but we got used to taking the car.
The shower block was lovely. Very clean and warm. Our only gripe (and it's a small one) was that they do not advertise when they are shutting the shower block to clean. So you get there and it's shut! Can be a touch frustrating! Minor issue. There is an excellent laundry (expensive at £4 a go) and even a drying room. This does mean that you are not allowed to put up your rotary dryer. There is also an extensive library.
All in all an excellent site and one to be recommended. We shall revisit. Finally, although there was some dog barking which you would expect, it was minimal and didn't disturb our peace. A warden patrols the site at regular intervals.

Absolutely stunning. Still! I was here year after year in the 70's and 80's. The site has expanded since then but so has the quality. A beautiful site to call your home. Immaculately clean with every amenity possible. Friendly and knowledgable staff.
This is a must for all who love the outdoors life. Especially the toilets and shower block. Much warmer than the motor home! We can't wait to be back.
