VW-Type Campervan - Hardstanding Pitches (Optional Electric)Oct 2025

We arrived on Saturday, 40 minutes before the shop closed, and were disappointed there are no on site restaurants. The check in is weird - check in, drive & pick empty spot, then come back to tell reception spot number. We didn't have a pen, reception was closing and it was a long walk back.

Site's response

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that your arrival experience didn't feel as smooth or convenient as it should have been. Our check-in process is designed to give guests flexibility in choosing their preferred spot, but we understand it can feel inconvenient, especially when arriving close to closing time. We also understand the disappointment regarding the lack of on-site restaurants, but there are many small local businesses close to us. Thank you again for your thoughtful review, and we hope to have the chance to welcome you back for a more seamless stay. Kindest Regards Guest Relations

We had a great stay at Skelwith Fold Caravan Park. The location is great being near Ambleside and Windermere Lake, it also has lots of nice walks on the site itself. The staff were really helpful whenever we needed them. The facilities were kept clean and we particularly appreciated the heated shower block. We would highly recommend the site and would stay again.

Really enjoyed our stay at Skelwith Fold, staff were lovely and explained everything to us. The site was so clean, even out with leaf blowers during the day, which is a tough job in the start of Autumn. Immaculate amenities.

Easy to book with a wealth of information on their site. Very tidy with no noise and little traffic in a beautiful woodland setting. The hardstanding pitches were spacious and most only a short walk from the well maintained toilet/shower blocks. An excellent play area for children, a superb launderette with a handy drying room too. All spotless. There was even a sizeable library with hundreds of books to borrow. At the weekends different "food trucks" visit the site for a convenient takeaway. You can walk into Ambleside or to a pub and waterfalls. It is in a good location for visiting the lakes and mountains.

Site's response

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed and glowing review. We are delighted to hear that you found the booking process easy and the information helpful. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the peaceful woodland setting, spacious pitches, and well-kept facilities. We’re especially glad the play area, launderette, drying room, and little library added to your stay — we love hearing when guests make the most of them. The weekend food trucks and nearby walks are favourites of ours too, so we’re pleased you got to experience those. It’s fantastic that our location helped you explore Ambleside, the lakes, and the surrounding mountains, and we look forward to welcoming you back sometime soon. Kindest Regards Guest Relations
