Touring Pitch information

Skelwith Fold's 90 touring pitches for Caravan and Motorhome holidays are scattered throughout our 130-acre woodland site, offering guests the opportunity to cohabit with wildlife, woodland, wetland and fell habitats found within the caravan sites boundaries.

All of our touring pitches are hard standing, offer electric hook-up and are conveniently located for use of the free toilet and shower blocks. Guests have access to laundry facilities, dishwashers and water standpipes. There is a well stocked shop, internet access and even a Trust Library.

Please be aware that caravan awnings can extend a maximum of 2.5m from the side of your caravan.

We pride ourselves on our touring pitches and we regularly take steps to improve them so that they remain of the highest standard. We recently added 22 Premium Pitches; each pitch boasting a water stand pipe, grey waste drain, TV and electric hook-up and a picnic table.

Please be aware that if your vehicle has been converted into a motorhome there are some requirements - see our terms and conditions here.

Intimate Hideaways

Our Intimate Hideaway, Woodpecker, is located in one of the park’s quietest and most wildlife-friendly spots. This two-berth Hideaway provides a unique ambience that cannot be experienced anywhere else in the Lake District.

Our Intimate Hideaways is very comfortable and comes well equipped for your stay. As it contains just one double bed, the Hideaway is not suitable for children. The Intimate Hideaway is not able to accommodate pets. Bookings are for minimum 2 nights.

Family Hideaways

Our three Family Hideaways are brand new for the 2020 season and specially sited to take advantage of the fantastic geography of Skelwith Fold. Sleeping four as standard – but with room for an additional two children – you can take advantage of these premium luxury glamping pods as part of your family Lakeland adventure.

The Family Hideaways come fully equipped with a full kitchen and bathroom, along with a built-in covered decking space to allow you to open up your living space into the great outdoors surrounding you at Skelwith Fold. They are located near a large communal sheltered BBQ cooked and eating area shared between the three S-Pods – so you will always have a choice of where to eat! The Family Hideaways can accommodate children but not dogs at this time.

If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact us.
