About the site
Skelwith Fold Caravan Park enjoys a fantastic location for exploring The Lake District, close to the top of Lake Windermere, with walking paths on every side. Top of the attractions are the acres of magical woodland that a range of wildlife call home, plus walkers fall for the surrounding majestic Lakeland Fells as well as the park's secret magical tarn. As a secluded, tranquil site in a beautiful countryside setting the park still maintains all the essentials for visitors' comfort including a large, well-stocked shop featuring everyday essentials as well as lots of locally sourced produce and gifts. A recreation area of five acres on site is ideal for families to picnic or play. The park provides peaceful, unspoilt and well-tended surroundings along with a very high standard of personal service. Nestled in around this beautiful and tranquil park, are 300 caravan holiday homes, 150 touring pitches which are fully serviced for visitors and 4 luxurious two berth 'hideaways' for glamping in a peaceful area of the park. Skelwith Fold proudly operates a policy of sustainable management which has resulted in many environmental accolades for the park, such as the prestigious David Bellamy Conservation Award, received for the previous 15 years consecutively by the park.
