 Lovely site with great facilities.
The shower and toilet facilities were extremely well looked after - heated floors made a wonderful addition!
Staff were very friendly and welcoming, giving advice on walking and cafes nearby.
Picking your own pitch was a nice touch and all the sites were spacious and easy to manoeuvre a caravan into and out of.
Despite being a large site with many static vans none of this was noticeable in the well managed and looked after grounds.

Large park which was difficult to access with a motorhome, looked promised on long driveway until you get to reception where you have check on which is littered with songs NO PARKING AT RECEPTION! Which would be find of the actually bothered provide alternative parking.
The site itself was busy and appeared well kept but in all honestly it’s just miles of concrete and granite chipping sit felt like staying in a car park.
Not the most friendly of places and no atmosphere
I would definitely never stay there again very disappointing

Skelwith is a lovely site nestled in the hills near Ambleside.
It was very quiet despite the number of static vans on site.
The touring areas are spread across the site and you can choose the area which suits your requirements.
We will definitely be back hopefully soon!

Beautiful setting, peaceful with immaculate and warm facilities, lovely friendly staff, a drying room, lovely shop and a bus stop outside.
But the touring pitches area were edge-to-road grey chippings, no grass anywhere, even on the premium pitches. Also external TV aerial points were only provided for premium pitches.
The range of recycling bins were not available at every disposal point.
Unlikely to return because it was no pleasure to sit outside and look at grey chippings and a large electricity box.

A very nice site, spotlessly clean and tidy, situated within the beautiful woodlands and close to several lakes.
The only negative thing I have to say, is that the hard standing for the awning/tent was so hard that many of my heavy duty pegs bent and the heavy duty mallet I was using also broke.
The ground is virtually impenetrable! It was explained to me by one of the wardens, that the site is constructed to avoid flooding.
I can understand this, and I’m sure the construction does overcome this issue, but nevertheless, a little note about bringing a stronger mallet (ie 2Ib club hammer would be advised) and some rock pegs) would have been really helpful.
I’m sure the other people that I also saw struggling would have the same view regarding this point.
Thereafter, it’s a lovely site.

Owing to medical circumstances beyond our control we had to cancel our booking 2 weeks before we were due to stay at this site.
I submit this review to highlight excellent customer service that I received upon contacting the site. Lorraine could not have been more understanding and sympathetic to our sudden dilemma.
I received prompt, outstanding, person to person service by telephone and an email, confirming our cancellation, and expressing their best wishes for recovery of one of our party.
To receive such personal service in this day and age is notable and should be regarded as a mark of excellence for customer relations by this site.
I have little doubt that my rating (scores based upon reputation perceived) and were necessary to enable my specific comment to be listed.

There is certainly nothing to dislike about this site.
Very friendly staff, site is spotless and picturesque.
A nice walk into town, takes about 45 minutes, but there’s a bus stop at the park entrance.
Lots to do and see in Ambleside or surrounding area.
