Greenhowe Caravan Park

Quiet, wooded Lake District holiday park near Ambleside with hire caravans and lodges, many of them dog-friendly.

Some dogs

Greenhowe is a wooded holiday park in the Langdale area of the Lake District, a short drive from Ambleside. It rents out fully equipped caravans and a few lodges rather than offering touring pitches, so it suits people who want a holiday home with the fells on the doorstep rather than a tent or campervan spot. Most caravans take dogs; the lodges do not, and a few caravans are kept pet-free for guests with allergies.

The park is quiet and secluded, and walks start right outside. Wi-Fi is provided but cannot be guaranteed because of the rural location. Check-in is from 4pm and check-out is by 10am, and late arrivals after 10pm cannot get into their accommodation. The nearest station is Windermere.
